K-Popper

...Absolutely adores K-Pop although, she DOES have a preference for any and everything BTS, In 2014, a co-worker introduced her to the variety show Running Man. This led to her learning about the culture and history of Korea to better understand the jokes made in variety shows and k-dramas. Then, when she got impatient waiting on English subtitles (translators are loves T_T), she ventured into learning the language. By 2015, she found BTS and it's been a deep, dark spiral ever since. (In no particular order, in addition to BTS, she listens to: Day6, (g)-idle, Dreamcatcher, Got7, Shinee, Samuel, KARD, ChungHa, Mamamoo, TXT, Eric Name, Big Bang, Red Velvet - and more!
