hai cutie! no need to apologise i dont think ive answered any of these! okay buckle up now cause its a long story. i've basically been on and off with kpop in general since i was around 6? around 2012-2013 at least because my sisters and cousin were into it at the time so i knew of kpop since then. kinda forgot about it for a while and got back into it in 2017 (up until 2021-2022, before taking another break). back then i already knew of skz, i had seen clips of their survival show (especially the dance battle, that was everywhere really!), pretty sure i already watched some episodes back then?? OH and i was here when he-who-shall-not-be-named left and i was so curious about the whole situation so i kept up with it, like i remember it so vividly. and then i would often see chanlix funny moments in kpop compilations so the aussies were dear to me cause i knew of them back then already! i didnt get into skz / started stanning them immediately, but i listened to their songs and kept up with their releases, i really liked what they did! i started learning about the members with each era kind of, hyunjin's long hair between god's menu and back door had me SOOOO HARD, it was a whole thing. that psycho fancam too man. i still didnt officially stan, kept up with releases still. with la4 i heard of minho (and jisung) and it was kind of the final puzzle piece for me that made me more interested in them (also cause la4 was THE title track for me) so i learned more about the members around then, but started ulting them during ate era! now as for writing skz rpf, well it took me a little while since i had never considered writing in my life before shjdbcjs i was friends with people who wrote, started reading fanfics then started coming up with ideas myself, got my first 2min idea that felt so specific and that i could really see come to life so i started writing! and now here i am (SOON!) a year later with 10 fics under my belt :D i had never really written before (except a failed wattpad destiel attempt), especially not rpf but yeah, now i love it! and favourite cereal is cinnamon toast crunch :P
sorry this was so long, but kpop (kinda skz) and i go way back!! :D
