for me personally there were allot of things I was doing' i was much more healthier than today'',,.
when I was a little kid I was exposed to Pop music by my uncle' and the first pop artist I have ever listen to was 'Backstreet Boys' that happened back in the early 90s since then I fall in love with music',.specially the western music such as 'Rock' and 'metal',,.. ( I still listen to 'Backstreet' now ).
I was also a big wresting fan 'WWF-WWE' I remember my uncle bringing that old video cassettes to watch some 'WWF-WWE' episodes together ,.. ( I still watch 'WWE' now ),..
1- during my Elementary school days I really sucked at school, because of the language barrier, I am living in an 'Arab' country and the main language was 'Arabic' so I had to learn 'Arabic' I got bullied all the time by the big fat kids' I was suck in everything,
until I reached the 3rd and 4th grade, I become one of the best students and my hobby and talent was 'Drawing' and I finally broke the language barrier',. but I keep on being bullied by the big kids all the time',...
2- during my Middle school days I got introduced to the 'Japanese culture' with the Japanese 'Anime' I become a big fan of 'Anime' and than I started watching Japanese shows and exploring Japanese culture ,,,
I was also introduced to a Ballad & Rock band called "Scorpions'' by my brother and I got another Hobby' I become a guitar player with my brother' I fall into 'Rock and Metal' music' and that when my life changed because I start taking music allot more seriously rather than just listening for enjoyment '',. ( I still watch 'Animes' and I still listen to Rock and Metal music my favorite music genre ).
3- during my High school days my life become way more serious' everything was just too serious,, and it was also one of my life turning points because I got into something new' something I never expected ',,. I was sitting on my computer doing what I always used to do ( watching Animes - movies - watching Rock festivals - taking guitar lessons' etc ...... )'.
and I got bored, I switched the TV on and start watching some Chinese channels trying to explore the Asian culture more and more,
and I found out by accident an Korean channel' and the first thing I saw was SBS 'Starking' and Kang Hodong with he's big face, haha I found it interesting and funny, it was whole new experience ,, .,
but what really got me into Kpop was non other than Kdrama, my first Kdrama was 'Cinderella Man' I liked the female character so much so i start looking up about her in the Internet and I found out 'SNSD' 'Yoona',,
and the second was 'Ja Myung Go' a Historical drama I liked the drama so much, so I started searching for OSTs of the drama and I found out the song I loved the most is the drama and it was 'I'm Alone' by 'SNSD' 'Tiffany' ,.
and than I remember watching KBS 'star golden bell' the episode were 'SNSD' and Kara were on the show', and I was wondering what 'SNSD' means ??' and while watching I realized two familiar faces, and they were non other than 'Yoona' and 'Tiffany' who I already know because of the dramas' and that how I got into 'SNSD' and they become my first ever kpop girl group and they got me into Kpop officially,,
and I ended up watching SNSD early reality programs and 'Taeyeon' become my bias after watching the reality shows' and I officially become a 'Sone',..
after that I started getting into more 2nd generation groups such as 'Kara' 'Wonder Girls' 'Super Junior' and 'Mblaq' and that was how I got into 'Kpop'
4- there was a time when I was wondering what this idols mean they keep on saying things like : 'we give energy to our fans' I was wondering what that means ?,, I thought idols are just funny on shows and I enjoy their weird songs' but I never thought that the fact they are giving energy to fans is real' I never believed that ,,
but it was 5 years ago when the reality hit me so hard, I was diagnosed with a terrible disease that has no cure',
( I am still suffering with that disease )..
I remember during my practice and rehab seasons I was listening to Japanese songs and Kpop', during that time I almost lost everything including my friends ' and the only friends that left for me now are My 'Computer' my 'Phone' and my 'Headphones' and 'Music' those are the only friends left for me',,. and Kpop was like the energy firing me up to keep on going ', and that when I realized Kpop really can give energy for the people who need it',,
now I am not talking about powerful songs at all ' I can listen to the most ridiculously cute childish lyrics song and I got fired up with energy ,,'..,,
I don't know about how you guys feel' but I really get energy from listen to some Kpop songs,,..
so thats my little story for you ' thats not everything but I tried to make it short as possible i can ,,,.. so what about you guys ??', share your story ,,.
