[FYI] KOREAN DRAMA

Endless Love, Winter Sonata, Full House, Boys Before Flowers, My Love From The Stars and Descendant of The Sun are popular dramas who bring Korean Soap Opera go International. They have unique story lines which bring the viewers willing to watching them all day long. If it is about Korean Drama I think we are the same. Do you remember that some years ago, a TV channel in Indonesia aired many Korean Dramas in the afternoon and evening?. I remember Korean Dramas started from 1 PM until 5 PM and I always run from my school only to watching them (my school over at 1.30 PM), Oh My God! Back then we can’t watching Korean Drama streamingly because the technology not as sophisticated as now.

[FYI] KPOP MAKE UP STYLE

Maybe it has no relation with music but make up is very important thing in KPOP. Singer should wear make up in order to make them more beautiful and handsome. They wear particular make up depend on the situation and condition, for example idols who use sexy concept for their album will use lighter make up than they who are appear in variety show. They will match the concept and will use particular make up.

[FYI] TRAINEE IN KOREA

It’s hard to be an idol in Korea. Why? Because we need some preparation that need a lot of time to be prepared. Normally, a trainee need minimum a year to practice and debut. They need to practice some skill like singing, dancing, acting or other skills. Girls’ Generation’s former member, Jessica need 7 years  to debut in Girls’ Generation. In the other hand, Kyuhyun only need several months to practice before joined Super Junior. Not because Jessica less talented than Kyuhyun, but it’s because the agency only debuting a girl group once in several years. In Jessica’s case, SM Entertainment prepared the girl group for several years and the project always change because of the member change, some members left the group before actually debut so it always postponed until several times and finally Girls’s Generation debut in 2007. Still the same agency, Kyuhyun only practice for short time after he participated in the song festival and scouted by SM Entertainment to join project boy group, Super Junior.

[FYI] TOP FEMALE VOCALIST

All the idol groups are have their main vocalist who are very talented and have such beautiful and amazing vocal. Some of them got a popularity that make their group more popular and people start to interest with them. This is the subjective perspective of mine, but I try to consider it as an information for you, so you can’t only judge their visual or dance but you can not how talented they are.

[FYI] GIANT ROOKIES

Why I called it Giant Rookie? Because they are Shining and become big since debut. As you know, in a year there are many idol groups debut but only small amount that popular. I don’t know why, but I think it because public want something new and unique like the groups that I will mention bellow.

[FYI] Being a Fangirl?

What comes to your mind when you heard the word “fangirl”? maybe some of you will say that fangirl is wasting time and have no benefit but some will say that fangirling is an interesting time. As you know, fangirl is a name that called for a girl who like someone or something that she adores. Yup, I am a fangirl, a big fan of Super Junior and everything about Korea. I tell you something crazy that I’ve done. When I was young, i’m a fan of drama “Endless Love” that Song Hye Kyo ad Song Seung Hun starred in. I’m also a big fan of Taiwan group F4 because of “Meteor Garden” even it was when I was 6 years old. I really like Vic Chou and Ken Zhou and I can sing their song with the right pronunciation (it is what my cousin said to me) even I buy stuffs about “Meteor Garden” and “F4”. When I was in middle school, I fell in love with F4 from Korea because of drama “Boys Before Flowers”, both of “Meteor Garden” and “Boys Before Flowers” are adaptation from popular manga “Hana Yori Dango”. After that I learn all about Korea and i have obsession to go to Korea someday. Usually, I can’t become a big fan of something, but if I start to like something, i’m so into it J. I even save 50% of my pocket money only to by stuffs about my idol and I often scolded by my dad because he thinks that i’m so overacted.

sorry, my Super Junior's album left in my house ㅠ.ㅠ

I think my experiences are same with other fangirl, we go crazy whenever we hear our idol’s name, we get sad if there are scandals about our oppa, and somehow for particular fangirls they are like to do “fanwar” in the social media only to protect our idols. Maybe many of us are seen as crazy girls that always do something useless, but we have our own world that people do not and never understand. Fangirls are very sold and tolerance, even many of fanclub help other fanclub in the concert and fangirls are very creative. Although people see that we always delusional but in our imagination we have something that others don’t have and they can be success. For example, the authors who are popular with their stories about idol, they start it with imagination about their idols right?. Rainbow Rowell, she is a fan of Kpop who wrote some novel that have relation with Korean culture. If you read her books, you’ll now that she is an amazing fangirl who success in her own way. I think that people who always judge fangirl are people who only judge a book from its cover. They need to try to understand other people’s interest and respect them.
