Well, i started it cuz of my brother, he came home (he lives in a student appartment) and had some new songs... "Last Farewell" and "Lies" from bigbang... xD
then a little while later he had some new songs: "The One" from Se7en, "One" & "Fly" & "Fan" from Epik High, "Why did i fall in love with you" from DBSK... and i liked them all, so i started to search for korean songs :D

and how about you?

I forget how long ago it was, but my first taste of K-Pop came around 2000/2001, probably. My brother made me a CD of random music, and put songs by Bijou, UP, and Fin.K.L. on it. Then I downloaded some music by S.E.S and BoA a couple years later.

I didn't start becoming a big fan until around 2004, though. My brother finally found a Korean group that he really liked, so I decided to find one for myself. I remembered hearing about Shinhwa, so I went and found some songs by them. After that, I started find many more groups to listen to.

And yeah. That's my story~

OMGawd no way, that's how i got into the hallyu too! XD buahaha, I didn't really get into KPop besides a few songs by Epik High and a few bboy crews until my friends introduced me to SNSD and WGs on their PS3. I was like... (-.-) (-.o) (o.o) (o.O) (O.O)(*.*)(*0*)(T_T) (it's over) And that's how i got into Kpop; although my other friends hassled me about listening to Bi, BoA and Se7en way before them though.

Well Korean music came through DBSK. I've heard about Boa before them, but didn't knew she was korean so she doesn't count in this way.
DBSK is a band which is loved deeply by some of my friends. They showed me these absolutely talented, wonderful guys. I became obsessed after seeing some of their live performances. After that came Super jUnior and the other SM bands. Now I am here. Listening nearly more korean music than japanese. In pop Korea is the king (giving the japanese pop a big KO. a very big one. Arashi's gonna fall very hard from the top of the east asian pop world. DBSK isn't just better but a whole new level) but I still love japanese rock more.

Actually, I just started listening to K-pop today. I've been a fangirl of J-pop.
Several people kept mentioning Super Junior and I keep seeing fan pics on other people's profiles, so I decided to check them out and just LOVED their songs.^_^

I started listening to k-pop when my friend introduced me to Big Bang. I loved their songs instantly. However, it was DBSK that completely absorbed me into k-pop. Tri-angle, rising sun, "O," and mirotic...found out about them on a forum and after that...<3 k-pop xD

Hello! :)

Let's see... for me, it was about seven years ago now that I happened to catch the Korean movie Nowhere to Hide on the Cinemax channel. Of course actor Jang Dong-gun caught my eye, but I also fell for Ahn Jae-mo... who I was thrilled to find had released a CD! That was my introduction to Korean films and music, and I've been a fan ever since.

By the way, Ahn is an amazing singer with a VERY handsome voice! I recommend his album "My Destiny" if you can find it (it may be out-of-print now). Unfortunately he has never released a second CD, despite the fact he has expressed a desire to do so.

Oh, and I should add that Jang Dong-gun released several idol CDs, and while he's got a nice voice, he certainly isn't a trained singer. But damn, he's gorgeous! (LOL)

I knew about Kpop ever since I started watching korean dramas but I didn't really like it at first. But then I stumbled across a clip of Shinee's hello baby and it was so cute that I just had to watch it and after I finished it I wanted to know more about those fun boys and I started listening to them. And now kpop is practically the only thing I listen to.
