This marks my third week (turns out to be) literally a whole-month of me becoming a fangirl of a girl-group!

| I know the exact date because I tweeted this on that fateful day lol |
EDIT APRIL 7 2021 OMG MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIEEEE! Turns out I didn't get into Twice on April 7 but on April 13! So it's true then, when I first wrote this blog, it's been only 3 weeks of me being a kpopie. I didn't know why my memory associated that tweet with me watching their MVs though.. Probably I did watch their MV but certainly it was not the day Jihyo became trending on Twitter. Jihyo was trending on April 13 and I did add Twice songs to my Spotify on April 13, so the date matched. WHY did I think I tweeted that on the night I watched FANCY!? I would never know...
Honestly, I have never thought even once in my life that I will be one of those fangirls of a K-Pop group, not even boy-groups. I have always been the type to only like one or two songs of a singer but kinda find the rest of the songs unfit to my preference; therefore, I see no point in fangirling celebs. I never became a fan of any idol. I always had this inner belief that it is never good to become a fan of another human being, never attach your happiness to somebody else other than you, let alone someone you don't know.
Gurl I was wrongggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!
It started quite funny. One night I was working quite enthusiastically on my job then decided to take a little break by opening Twitter. I found out then that a familiar name has become a trending topic on Twitter, let's say it's X. I checked on Google whether X was the person I knew before (girlfriend of another boy-group member). I was right! I looked on the face and actually found her so pretty and so unlike mainstream Koreans. X is a member of this Korean girl-group. I actually love two of their hits since university (I also checked out their dance practice video too often) and I wondered, why didn't I notice her before? I watched the dance practice again and I was like "Ahh so she was quite chubby back then that's why" and "Wow how these simple things really change the appearance of someone."
Then I remember, one of my friends really loved this girl-group's newest song. I never quite got the "fun" of that song but I decided to take another watch of the M/V. Idk, this new song sounded so good that night! Their choreography was also so fun, so fresh compared to their old hits which I had liked before.
The next day, I wanted to watch their M/V again but somehow I got distracted and watched their documentary video in making that M/V instead. I got to know each of their members and somehow got familiar with several members. I also watched their live performances of this new song and it made the song lingered more in my head. At that time, I already recognize several of the members due to me watching their performances and their documentary. I still had difficulties though for several members, one of them is this member that kinda looked older than others in their performances. Let's call her Y.
That's step 1 in fangirling: differentiating most members.
