Fangirling

[unicorn1607]

I have never really idolized someone or doing avid fangirling thing before during my school time, not even when I was in university, where for some people that is the peak time they do fangirling. I think I just too focused in studying hahahaha, missed all this exciting things called fangirling ;P. It has been always difficult for me to answer questions such as, who is your favorite actor/actress, who is your favorite singer. I like watching films, listening to the music but never favoritized someone. Not till now, till I started working and having my own family. Strange, isn't it?? I myself find it strange :P But luckyly, the fact that I now work, it means that I have more budget to buy fangirling stuff.... YAY!! \(^o^)/



I love watching dramas. But 4 years ago, I started watching Korean variety shows, old and new variety shows. Through these variety shows, I got familiar with Korean idols. Discovered 2PM group when watching their Two O'clock show, too bad it was only for 1 season. Then I also got to know Shinhwa when I was curious about their Shinhwa Broadcast variety show. I find Shinhwa quite attractive. I like some of their songs, especially the slow one. But I notice that I only like Eric or Shinhwa as a group. When individual member did promotion or appeared in certain show, I don't have any interest on it. Because of that, it's also quite difficult to fangirling Shinhwa with Eric that does not appear alot on tv and with the fact that their variety show ended after only 1.5 years (and I just started watching it when their show was already half way). So, naturally my interest on them starts decreasing, sadly ... :((

So... when I have nothing, no good drama that I can watch, no idol that I am really interested in, I decided to watch Hanadan... ;P

After watching it, out of curiosity, I googled everything about Matsumoto Jun. I have heard/read about him before, but never really interested in him. I read all articles that I can find in google and watched everything about him and Arashi in YouTube. Oh boy, it was so difficult to find Arashi vids in Youtube and at that time I didn't understand why :P. Luckyly some good Arashi fans made great vids over Arashi history, about their coolness, their hard work and especially their dorkiness, both during their concerts and their variety shows. And just like that I become Arashi fan XD. The fact that they appear in a lot of variety shows until now helps me in continuing being their fan. Everytime I watched their shows, I can just laugh, feeling happy, and liking them more and more. I like all members, but Matsumoto Jun is still my bias ^^

So, it seems, for me, variety show is one of important factors in keeping me doing fangirling. Through these variety shows I can see the characters of each member better, what are their personalities. It does not mean that the variety shows will show how they really are, because we will never know precisely who they really are, but at least through the variety shows I can see a glimpse of their true personalities from their reactions, the ways they talk, their body language etc. And at that end, all of that will affirm me in why I like them and make me falling in love with them again and again hahahaha

Doing fangirling has also made me done things that I have never done before, buying goodies for the first time, being active in twitter, opening live journal and actually writing a blog :P, initiating conversation with someone although it's only in cyberworld (In RL I am quite introvert person :) ). So, I guess fangirling does something good to me too XD
