For me 2019 carries a heavy sense of nostalgia because that was the first time I listened to kpop and SO many things happened that year.
~Boy with luv by BTS was released which was the first kpop song I ever hear.
~Wanna One's last concert🥹🥹
~BTS's historic deasang sweep (first time for a kpop group)💯.
~Sulli's passing😭
~IZ*ONE releasing violeta (my fav😍)
~ TWICE releasing Fancy ( dare I say their best song ever😍)
~Setting Kill this Love by BlackPink as my alarm🤣(no kidding, it always woke me up💀).
~Red Velvet releasing Psycho. (the song that made me stan them).
~ me discovering Jackson's existence💀(love that guy, he's hilarious af).
~ EXO taking a break( whyyyy did I discover them so late😭😭).
It was a crazy year. It was before the TikTok-fication of choreography, when music show "ending fairies" were still a fresh thing and the rivalry between fandoms felt like a high-stakes sport rather than a digital war. Gosh BTS, BlackPink, TWICE and EXO fandoms were always at war trying to prove who was the best.
It was that year that felt like K-pop was finally, truly, taking over the world. PEAK of Kpop.
Ps. The above mentioned 11 groups were and ARE my favs. What does that say about me??🤔 and mention YOUR favs and groups that got you into Kpop.
