Not necessarily grown to Stan but just an artist that you now will casually check out.
For me it’s nmixx. I’ll be honest I never listened to their music before and I’ve been in kpop scene since 2018.
But high horse, spinnin on it and blue valentine this year hooked me in. I went into full deep dive with their discography and ngl I don’t think it’s for me exactly. But I do like that they’re invested in their own style and direction. And they do still have some gem of a song here and there which makes me appreciate them nonetheless.
