"I Don't Want Kpop To Become Mainstream"

Source.

At first i wanted kpop to spread and become well known but now i kind of dont want it to. The thing is, i found kpop because i was looking for something that wasnt mainstream like katy perry or justin bieber. I wanted something that was different. Kpop for me is like my own little world that nobody really knows about. I guess you could say it was like narnia, something special that only a few knew about. But now that its becoming popular i feel like thats been taken away. Dont get me wrong ill always love kpop and i want my artists to get more recognition and gain new fans but i just want to have something thats unique and my own.

s!b: People will think im making a big deal out of nothing. And I come across as being selfish for not wanting to share kpop with the world.

"I avoid mainstream music in the United States to listen to mainstream music in Korea. I R SO HIPSTER!"

I've seen a lot of comments like this, especially since Gangnam Style has become a meme worldwide hit. What a lot of people don't realize is that they became Kpop fans because of a hit song. It may not have been worldwide like Psy, but it was definitely a hit in Korea and among Asia. A lot of people got into Kpop around the time when Wonder Girls and SNSD came out with their huge hits. Just because new people get into Kpop through Gangnam Style, it doesn't make someone cooler/more hip just because they got in because of Gee. Stop acting like you were a Kpop fan when H.O.T. was promoting. You're not Sung Shi Won.
