What a psychologist says about fangirls

A psychologist says: “Don’t underestimate those children who chase after Korean celebrities, their hearts are purer than anyone else, they love courageously, they will want to try their best to tackle difficult obstacles, the language and cultural barriers. They symbolise peace, they don’t discriminate based on race, they befriend people with the same interest from different countries, they’re more passionate and warm than anyone else. They don’t betray the ones they like easily, they are persistent and don’t give up easily. They are stronger than anyone else on the inside, because when they are loving these Korean stars, they experience the setbacks they’ve never experienced in life. They are all sensitive children, easily touched to tears for a long time because of one incident.

Through investigation, most of them understand gratitude. Their way of thinking is different from others, they don’t easily get carried away by love, they don’t harbour thoughts of doing bad things, and their criteria when looking for a partner is very high, other than looks, personality is more important, so the rate of marriage isn’t high, but neither is the rate of divorce.

Their memory is very good, they can easily remember the korean lyrics they don’t understand, and their coordination skills are also very strong. Most of them are cheerful children, not the kind who keep to themselves. Their will of determination is also very strong, they are able to persevere all the way just to buy something related to the celebrity they like.

In short, the way these children think is vastly different from others, and their thoughts are not easy to understand. Generally, only those who have similar interests are able to enter their world.”

Omo i have so many feelings. I bet you too out there.
Being a kpop fangirl/fanboy is like getting on a roller coaster ride; there are the ups and the downs, plus all the excitement and fears, laughter and tears, the only difference is that we never ever want this ride to come to an end.

Cheers to all kpop fangirls and fanboys out there!

An interesting article

Sometimes we feel like setting ourselves on fire when we try to write essays like,

But it helps if you are trying to write about something wonderful and something that you feel passionately for. Like KPOP!!!

I know because I have tried to squeeze in stuff like the Korean/Hallyu wave and the use of it as soft power to gain dominance in the world (kpop fuels a large economy). Or how technology has evolved leading to spread of cultures(korean culture) so fast. Or using KPOP to show emergence of youth cultures which turn into mainstream cultures. The best part is of course using group bands in exam essays like a boss! Eg, We can see how TVXQ has managed to break into many global markets and they even have the largest fanclub in the world! or SM Entertainment, a korean talent agency managed to have sold out concerts at Madison Square at NYC, an incredible feat for them considering they have not officially debuted in the US.

Well here is an article by Linda Constant which might be helpful for you people out there needing to write essays regarding Hallyu. Can erm, borrow some ideas about how kpop is one of the ways soft power is exerted over the world. And in her article we see how KPOP is taking over the world baby~~ Share the Kpop love everyone!

If your teachers disagree, well,
