my dad liked t-ara and introed me to them, the first song i listened to by them was i think roly poly. but the first ever kpop song id listened to was snsd's gee. my fav member of t-ara at the time was qri, and t-ara has remained my all time fav gg. i remember bc kindergarteners didnt rlly know kpop, so when i told my friends they laughed at me. i remember "kiri?"-them making fun of qri's stage name >:[
i have probably known kpop the earliest. (as in i knew kpop from the earliest age) any competitors? -/j
May 2018. But my brotherโs girlfriend introduced me to SHINee in the summer of 2016, but I never got into them. She showed me one of their times on Weekly Idol when I was hanging out with her at her apartment.
