The K-Pop Hole 

SHINee, Big Bang and 2NE1 are still my favorites because they were a big part of my adolescence, but I've been enjoying exploring all the new stuff too! Not just BTS. (I'm also really mad at myself for not listening to more K-R&B sooner but it's absolutely fantastic as well!) Sorry if this topic wasn't to your liking but I appreciate you giving it a watch anyway! ^^

Same here with UT :(

I don’t like BTS

I don't like bts their just a bunch if dudes with make-up on and literally just dancing every 5 seconds

JoJo's bazaar adventure

Haha she animated her self more amarican than korean I watch bts for like super long but I haven’t choose a favorite

8:06 aren't those all just the same person at different times?

Fun fact: this video created a rabbit hole that may or may not be very slightly related to kpop

All I remember is avoiding Oreo McFlurrys then loving them

Once you jimIN, you can’t jimOUT.

6:31 ..is that discord light theme?

can we talk about how emily uses light mode

8:25 Yaoi. Damn me the day I decided to watch a doujin

The stan loona caught me off guard 😅

Im immune to kpop

For me it was chemistry and science. I personally was scared because my parents are chemists and my sister was a biochemist...i was scared my hobbies will like disappear or some dumb shit but when i had chemistry in 6th grade i fell inlove and it didn't influence my plans for the future ^^

wtaching this in 2021 is so funny HELP

HELP I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO HYUNA AND RED VELVET FOR A MONTH GOD SAVE ME PLEASE HELP

For the end card question I really tried to avoid the anime Assassination Classroom but then I found out I love 💓 it

I am also always scared of that toxic fanbase . But i still love BTS music.

I avoided every k-pop i could find too, but ended up loving it. The reason why i avoided it because..of the messy behaviour my army friends have attacking every non army who just shares their opinion-

I wasnt a kpop fan until 9th grade. I knew the song gangnam style but thought that it was cHiNeSe (im embarresed bout that hehe). And then there were a bunch of girls in my class who were CrAzY bout bts. They would always be BTS this n BTS that n stuff. so it got me curious. Like, what IS so good bout these guys that they r head over heals for them. So i searched them online n the first mv i saw of theirs was FIRE. i LOVED the song n had a liking towards SUGA. But then......i watche BLOOD,SWEAT N TEARS.....n i was killed by Jimin n sucked by hoseok to the bts world. I saw introduction videos, other mvs, mv theories, crack videos,........n before i realised it, i became an ARMY^^. Slowly i started listening to other kpop grps n nw im a multistan of several grps. Being sucked into the kpop hole was the best decision EVER and u can NEVER come out of this hole.....trust me, i tried. Those who had the patience to read this whole thing........hope u have a great day^^

This Is literally Me but Instead of K-pop its MCYT....

4:29 “it was at this moment that she knew, she f*ck up”

I watched this at least 8 times since I started watching Emily’s videos ;-;

to be honest the fanbase issss kinda trash.. im a korean and even i know that but it dosent matter if you enjoy the music, just stay away from discord servers and other things.. im gonna be flamed in the replies arent I?

Me in Jan, 2019: who’s bts? What’s kpop Me in February 2019: *searches up bts and watches dna* *I just liked the song..*

I kinda perfer Black Pink pls dony attack me 😣😣😣😣😭😭😭

Emirichu: Bts is gatbage! Tabbes: Haha very funny

"Once you Jimin, you can't JIMOUT" I chocked and still chocking- I died for a solid 3 seconds on the line

Hello, I'm here to tell my testimony... I had some friends that were into Kpop and one of them was my best friend. We used to sit together in the computer classroom, so she told me to watch a video with her. She put DNA on, and when I first saw Taehyung do that hair thing, I knew it was going to be something. One day she wrote me because they were releasing a new song, Fake Love, and from that day on, I can just get deeper :')

"Wheres Emily?" "In the hole."

Srsly bts fanbase is so disgusting and disrespectful

Never cared about BTS. but this type of thing happened to me. I really avoided the Yakuza games and once I played one I got sucked in. And now I think of it as the best franchise.

I've been trapped in the hole since 2010 because of Mblaq, but I got out because they disbanded(hope they are doing ok now), one day, I scroll NLblock recommendations and saw, "Jin being an angry mother" And I was like, "uh okay, let me take a peak", after about 5 minutes, I'm starting to like it because of the edit and Jin screaming. And after that I'm back to the k pop hole, " Hello old me, I'm back". Until right I'm a k-pop fan(not a Stan) because of crack head moment that they make.

0:23 I'm that one but I'll never unsubscribe💚🌸 I listened to some songs and they are amazing, but I'm not a fan girl😂 I actually really love K-Drama💛💛

6:25 1, it was 1AM- 2, *Discord light mode.*

STAY MAKES STRAY KIDS STAYYYYYY STRAY KIDS IS UNDERRATED STAN STRAY KIDS SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ SKZ STAN BANGTAN SONYEONDAN STAN BTSSSSSS PS THE SHOULDER FLIP WAS ACCIDENTAL BISHES IT WAS ACCIDENTAL (mochi mochi mochi mochi mochi mochiiiiiiiiiii boiiiiiiii) pss I get high whenever someone mentions kpop I'm so sorry (not sorry) psss I don't actually fight with people over kpop (at least uhhh...not anymore) but when I see people killing and screaming at others for liking kpop then i gotta step in

Before i liked kpop, i had always expected that i will be a kpop stan, it all started back in 2018 when iKON's Love Scenario was out, everyone of my friends were singing to it, and i personally enjoyed listening to it, it was a pretty catchy song, so then i decided to memorize the song with easy lyrics, and i knew all the lyrics now, but i still haven't stan kpop yet. I have alot of friends who are a kpop stan, though i still havent find them "MY STYLE", but when it was 2020, quarantine took over me and i said to myself "I wanna do something DIFFERENT" so then i downloaded tiktok, and a bunch of kpop videos just show up in my fyp, and then i started learning and knowing which group is which, which member is which, and which song is which, and then MY LIFE AS A KPOP STAN BEGINS!

Anime.

I listen to a few songs from Blackpink and BTS but I haven’t gotten dragged into the KPop hole... yet

Haha, Korea go brrrrrr.

So i am an Anime Fan but i used to not like Gore but after i watched Elfen Lied it did really changed i even looked at the mermaid forest so yeah ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ (not really that long but Kay)

Harry Potter

"WHAT'S THEIR SKIN CARE ROUTINE, I NEED TO KNOW" ^ I also would like to know this

i m really hypedabout the new fb season coming out thisyear and when i told my brother all he said was "ughhhhhhh its still not finished"

Emirichu: I watch blood sweat and tears. Me: HELL YEAH

Noooo

I watched this video like 5 times before I got into Kpop and it was just background noise for me, then my friend got me into BTS and other groups and now this video finally has meaning for me!! :D

Yeah, I fell for it, the difference - I listen Blackpink

Now v tuber

I never cared for working out, especially running or lifting, but now I'm slowly trying to get into it. Emily, if you ever read this comment, I would love to hear about your workout routine & even some of your workout Playlist. And did you also used to hate working out too?

*mic mic bungee*

I don't really care about k pop

emirichu, the thing is i like to listen that i hate but EARRAPED.

I’m a proud subscriber 😌👌

*cough cough* is 2NE1 still a thing?

Can i know what is the platform that you worked on?

Kpop isn’t bad, but honestly the fandoms/most of the fans scare me. No offense if you like the fandom, its just not my cup of tea.

8:10 im sorry... it was anime

you and me both.

6:10 someone said blinks and I was like blink 182

i had the exact same experience with kpop, the first time i watched this video i didnt rlly like kpop too much, but now im into so many groups i cant even count them on my hands anymore lol

8:25 rap music... I thought that since I’m white I shouldn’t listen to Tupac,biggie,or nwa but I did and it was fuckin awesome

I was indifferent and listen to songs here and there. Then one of my favorite games dropped KDA and I am now in the fandom, so thanks Riot Games!

I refuse to listen to any kpop besides Yukika. I feel like I’ll be betraying Mariya Takeuchi

The thing I tried to say away from was Anime but know I really in joy it

Me who listens to the songd but doesn't love bts that much

honestly this was only when i was a kid, but Pokemon, shit you not and i fucking loved it after watching an episode.

omg i like it when you talk in korean

Do u know blackpink??

I honestly don't get the hype around them (I'm in the third category you mentioned) but I'm happy for anyone who likes it

Fun fact: not many Koreans really like BTS anymore. Don't get me wrong, people still adore them but it's kinda hard to love a group that rarely comes back to their country.

I've literally avoided *EVERYTHING* for some reason. Ex) Minecraft, Coc, CR, Phineas and Ferb, and a crap ton of anime. I still avoid a lot of stuff that I'm quite sure I will love just because I don't have the time to enjoy them.

POEMS AND ART AND... wait I think I don't have tooo many and I now that not so many people like poems but not everyone likes the same thing and about that... that's what she said AND NOT IN A BAD WAY!

OMGYESILOVELEGOLAS

Me falling down the hole after watching this video "YASSSSSSSSSsSSssSsss *aHeM*"

Emily: Calls K-Pop videos over the top and Eye-Catching Me: Just like an over engineered Japanese car

the thing ONCE YOU JIMIN THEN YOU CANT JIMOUT

my favorite bts member is *_ju ng leb ook_*

YESSS JIMIN ME TO! YEAH IS THAT EROLD? YESSSSS JIMIN FANS !

I really like K-pop but the experiences I've had with BTS fans make me feel uncomfortable to say I like K-pop

i avoided kpop because i felt bad for the groups and singers having to work so much but then i listed to black pink aaaaaaaaaaand im trapped lol

I understand this, and yes I am a furry

You know, I am watching this in 2021, and this message still hits hard.

I’ve been trying to get into the fandom but idk how? I love the fandom (or at least the hardcore but respectable fans) and the music but idk how to make friends? I have a few albums, love collecting the cards and have watched almost all the “what happened to ____” series but how do you talk to ppl and become friends?

O________________________________________________________________________________O

it took u 8 min to get to the point ;-;

Me who jams to anime openings, cant relate-

I've avoided star vs the forces of evil but I found. Out l loved it when l watched the episode before the season 4 finale

me who lived in Korea for three years and listened to k-pop with my female Korean friends:VIBING I'mIdon't

For the question at the end for me it would be anime... Uh I am watch 10 anime rn and have a list of 23 I want to watch

One direction

One dirction

my songwriter side and my musical taste just have a full out brawl on wether kpop is ok or the spawn of satan. My songwriter side just keeps on gushing about the weird time signatures and interesting and catchy melodies but my musical taste just fixates on the electronic and the extyremely overproduced nature of it which subtracts all of my interest about the genre. More of a rock guy if you couldn't tell.

-What I avoided and ended up loving? -Two things really 😅 Eggplants and Mayo And where the former I just decided to try one day, The latter I spend year eating as a part of my favourite salad, and the thing I enjoyed the most out of that salad was actually the Taste of Mayo!!! 😱 (I was so shocked for a at least a week) But then, just as with kpop in this video, realized that I am alteady in the Mayo Hole😂

that happened to me with tik tok

Poor dude just wanted mochi

For the question at the end i usually avoided anime tought it was nerdy or weird until it happened the light from jojo and yo kai watch brought me to the perfection that is anime

i haven't gotten rlly into kpop because it just seems like a lot of investment that i'm too lazy for, but i will say there are some absolute bangers and both the videos and outfits are super visually appealing. respect
