So basically, if you don’t harbor any hate for Kpop idols or any burning rage towards any specific group, getting into a new boyband is pretty much as follows:
Welcome, new fandom.
… FML.
I knew it had to be either Beast or MBLAQ. I went the MBLAQ way because it has members older than me and Yoseob terrifies me. BUT I feel the beginnings of love so I don’t know how long this will last.

LOL. I’m sorry, but I totally laughed at the fact that you find Yoseob terrifying, HAHA.
Wait, you mean you don’t like this??
;P

Probably terrifying because the first time my sister showed me their video, I also thought he came straight off ‘The Addams Family’ set. Have you seen that outrageous headgear he sported during their showcase?

Just… just… I was sure he would’ve gotten the sharp end of your stick. I almost cried in relief when I heard I out-aged him by a year, if that guy had been my ‘oppa’ I think my brain would have shut down.
… AAAAH but I watched him doing Digital Ranking and he totally got me when he did Taeyang’s ‘shiJAK halsu ikke’ chest-hitting move. *cowers* He truly frightens me. I used to sorta be freaked out by Sunny because OMG that much aegyo squished into such a small space (ie her face) but Yoseob has blown her out the water. HOW IS THAT BEARABLE.

I LOVE Yooseob. He’s like some kind of evil elf but I forgive him because he’s so energetic and talented and squishy.
Oh yeah, Sunny freaks the shit out of me. Still. I’ve still never gotten over the amount of fright I endured when I first watched her in Super Junior Happy’s “Cooking, Cooking.”

I’ll take your word for it. I know it’s only a matter of time anyway.
Yeah it took me a looong time to get over that but now I love her. The first time I liked her was when I saw that cut of her on Wonderful Outing being all gangstah and ‘bery GOOD yo’ and suddenly I was like OMG she’s actually kinda badass! In an insanely cute way but still. She’s really rather precious and suddenly sings pretty. And her and Sungmin’s duet = mighty new ship based on 60 seconds of love.
Hey thats how I got into k-pop in general:
1. I saw Big Bang and 2NE1′s “Lollipop” CF and I saw TOP and was like “Woah that tall dude with the glasses and intense stare is hot”
2. Look up pictures of TOP and video’s of other Big Bang songs to see more of TOP
3. Noticed that Seungri was pretty hot too (although I cannot stand him now)and that the others were pretty cool and funny
4. Went and watched all Big Bang music videos/interviews/award show performances/concerts/variety shows/documentaries
5. Came across DBSK while stalking Big Bang..and then 2PM…and then FT Island…and then Super Junior M…
6. The rest is history

Omg, that is exactly how it began for me-
TOP caught my eye instantly in Lollipop and turned me into a pile of goop goop…
and it all went down from there :]
wait, which Beast member lol? I personally like mblaq more haha, though Ki Kwang is so good lookin argh

It’s a tie between Junhyung and Kikwang. Junhyung has so much swagger I don’t even know what to do with myself, lol. And KiKwang is MIGHTY attractive, even though he’s just a biiiiiit gratuitous with the skin flashing.
And I’m sure I’ll get into Mblaq soon enough (I like Seungho!) but Beast had a documentary and all that good shizz and once I get documentaries, I’m a goner :P

*butts in* MBLAQ has a documentary. MBLAQ has a documentary that is being subbed by abmsubs. MBLAQ does not have a Yoseob. Case closed.
So I checked this blog a few days ago and saw quite a few people mention Beast. What do I do? I spent the next FIVE hours looking up anything and everything on them. So far I have only watched till episode 3 of their documentary. I SO should be doing my research paper. I really like AJ aka Ki Kwang. When Beast first came out I had no interest in them and didn’t understand the hype around Yo Seob. But now, I totally get it!! He is so cute and energetic. I like how he acts like the youngest but isn’t…totally like me. And Dong Woon is not so bad also. What have you people done to me?!?!?!

Haha I looked into FT Island while YB was airing and am now listening to more of their music, but no, not FTI. Beast is the answer!

ahaha, omg! i love beast~ i was totally obsessed with their teaser song “beast is b2st” and i’m really disappointed they didn’t make that into a full song. =[ boo.
so who was that first member, eheheh? i looovvvvvveeee gi kwang <3 kinda hated how they styled him during his dancing shoes stint as a solo because it was kind of ridiculous, plus i wasn't too fond of the song, but whoohooo major upgrade! and yoseob is adorable~
also, i'm really digging u-kiss and mblaq now. kpop takes over waaaay too much of my life :/ oh well! ;D
