I was listening to Big Bang and remembered they were the ones who got me into K-pop. Actually, when Gangnam Style became popular, K-pop was very niche, and thanks to Psy, K-pop started to open up a bit more. I think it was because of Psy that I looked for K-pop songs that I like and that caught my attention, and they were Big Bang. I got into K-pop in 2015. I was never a VIP, but I adore Big Bang, and my biggest crushes were always TOP and GD. Every time I watch Big Bang's stage performances, I love how free TOP and GD are. If they did that today's idols, they'd surely get a lot of hate. Another thing I discovered was that, as an Inuyasha fan, I really loved the opening and ending songs, and BoA, who had done songs for Inuyasha, was a Korean idol. Orange Caramel was my first girl group that I liked. My favorite groups: Beast/Highlight, Infinite, Exid, BtoB, Exo, Got7, Monsta X, Mamamoo, Red Velvet, GFriend, NCT, Astro, A.C.E, Wanna One, Everglow, Ab6ix, X1. Then I love AoA, Sistar, 9Muses, WekiMeki, SNSD, T-Ara, miss A, Lovelyz, A-Pink, Kara, Twice, April, Loona, Iz*one, Aespa, IVE, 2PM, ONF, JBJ, Ateez, SF9, The Boyz, Winner, Oneus, NU'EST, SHINee, Victon, KNK, Super M, SVT... submitted by /u/Separate-Comedian-25 [link] [comments]
