Scratch That

Ten days ago, I said I was a “former crazed K-pop fangirl“. I think that one particular word will be dropped from that phrase pretty soon. I can feel it. Guess which one?
Like I said before, every now and then I dig up my old K-pop MP3s whenever I miss listening to them. But never did I think about getting into the whole scene again. I thought I was done with K-pop. I thought it was just a phase.
But I guess the crazed K-pop fangirl in me never really went away, and now, after more or less five years of hibernation, she wants out again. And all this started with a seemingly innocent longing for the old days. Then it was followed by a seemingly innocent curiosity of checking up on my favorite artists, to see what they’ve been up to lately.
Between that entry ten days ago and today, I have listened to old and new K-pop songs, watched old and new MVs, looked at pictures of Korean celebs, read up on some of the latest on Korean show business, and joined a couple of Korean pop culture-related forums (one of which I was once a member of eons ago). Not only that, I’ve also discovered some very addictive Korean game shows! Aah~
So yes, I am slowly being sucked back into the world of Korean pop culture. I’m trying not to get too excited, because being a crazy obsessed addicted fangirl is time-consuming. And I’m trying to be a responsible adult here and not mess up my priorities. Ha.
Oh yeah, this morning I dreamt about Super Junior and Lee Jae Won (pictured above), which caused me to wake up late. *smacks forehead* How weird is that. I’ve only heard a couple of SuJu songs, I don’t even know all the members’ names, yet I had a dream about them. Dreaming about Lee Jae Won, on the other hand, is more understandable, as I’ve been a fan since about 1999.
Anyway, I’ve decided to start keeping tabs on Korean pop culture once more, but I must remember to keep some self-control. Must not get too crazy. Just a little.

Ah, it’s hard to get over the things we loved so much before. I thought I was over the sanrio and the Sailormoon phase at one point, but nope, I bought the cds, I still have a TON of hello kitty things. Korean culture always is evolving and so spectacular!
