One thing K-pop has done in my life is to change it. I was going through a lot of depression and decided that I was useless in this world. I felt alone and saw that no one really cared about me. Bad thoughts and anxiety just crowded my mind every day and night. I felt like I couldn’t do anything anymore because I didn’t know how to express myself and tell someone that I really needed help or even a hug. I got so overwhelmed that I even wanted to risk my life.

Then after that, I searched for a lot of motivating and positive quotes and videos till I found one video of someone who told everyone on his live video “Don’t hurt yourself. Just because you have a lot of stress doesn’t mean that you have to relieve it by hurting yourself.”

So after that, I decided that if I was not okay, I would just listen to K-pop and learn the dances until I was sweating and unable to breathe. Listening to Bangchan [from StrayKids] has made me more interested in him and his fellow group members. They also had motivational speeches that made me stay strong and confident. So I started listening to Stray Kids and always wanted to learn each and every lyric or choreography of each and every song that they released.

After some time I started listening to other artists like Le Sserafim, NewJeans, Aespa, Enhypen, P1harmony, etc. K-pop takes me out of the real world, to a world where I see myself happy and where I am so in love with whom I have become. So this is my story of my journey in K-pop. Gamsahapnida , salmeul wihan K-POP!!!!
