About Me: A little intro about me, i’m jess from Australia i am viet. I love listening to music got into korean stuff late 2004, it all started when i was searching for stuff on Boa cause everyone was into her at that time. I was wonder who she is and why so popular, and from watching her mv, clips i came across fly to the sky. So you could say they were my 1st korean group that got me into kpop, anyways 1 day was looking at music videos and saw taebin’s the reason i close my eyes mv so thought i’ll check it out. Oh man it was love i fell for his voice the moment heard him sing i had to find out more about this guy so went searching for more info. I came across his site and and wow his album pics just got me..drool..hot hot hahah so i started to catch up on his performances and looked around for more info on him..found out he was from the group 1tym. I started to watched their mv, performances etc i am not a hip hop fan so wasn’t really into the whole thing at 1st. Yes do u believe i didn’t fall for 1tym at 1st sight, it took me a while after listening to their albums that i started to like them and got into them more. From than it was all 1tym and than slowly got into yg and the other yg artists now u can see how of a crazy yg fan i am and yes many of you ladies has already asked how many forums do you have..can u handle it all? hahha. Man that was a long into.

About Me: The first person who got me into KPOP was Se7en, but that easily led to 1TYM since I saw him performing it with Danny. And the rest is history~
Websites: Just one currently – paint-pops.net. However, there was one time where I actually made a site for YG Family except it never really grew…lol
Name: Carol
Location: Chicago
1tymer since: 1998. the very beginning
About Me: I’m Hispanic. I’ve been a fan of K-POP since 1997. JinuSean and Yoo Seungjun got me into to. So I’ll say I’m a loyal YG FAM fan from the early days. I used to listen to a lot of K-POP before but nowadays I rarely listen to anything outside YG FAM.
Websites: none. I’m a mod here and there but I don’t personally have a site.
^ oh wow~ you’ve been with the YG family for a long time. I wish I was a fan as long as that too.. ^^ but I didn’t even have internet back thenXDDDDD
Name: Hang
Location: CA, USA
1tymer since: Late 2007. Ah~ I’m a baby fan lol. Cannot believe I discovered them so late. But better late than never?
About Me: I’m Vietnamese, and 18 yrs old. I like to learn, read, do DIY things, blahbalbhlah. XD
Okay, it all started back in 2004 when I got interested in K-dramas, which then turned me to Kpop. I was only really a fan of one artist (Rain) until 2007. I was pretty much closed off to the rest of the Kpop world, only occasionally listening to other songs. Until I discovered Big Bang (who I knew about from the beginning but was never interested in until later XD) right before their whole Lie craze phenomenon. Because of them I actually opened my eyes to other possibilities and other Kpop music. More importantly they introduced me to the whole YG family. I became a fan of Lexy (and that very same year she left YG..
), Gummy, 1TYM<3, the whole YG fambam. So yes.. I’m a very late YG fan lol.

1TYMer since: Early 2005, but only listened to their songs & watched their MVs, but wasn’t active on internet fan forums cos my parents were strict about that.
About me: I’m a HUGE Taeyang/Youngbae fan. I have huge respect for 1TYM and JS, but not really a fangirl, maybe because of the age gap. I love YG Family because they focus on the MUSIC, they’re passionate about the music they make, they’re all genuine and talented musicians.

[b]1TYMer since :[/b] Early 2008…. TT_TT I wish I knew them earlier.
[b]About me:[/b] Hhhhmm….wher should I start? I knew K-Pop since the second half of 2006 I think, and I’m so far from where I start right now. Why? Because at the first time, I only knew Super Junior and some other artists, but not really into K-Pop.
My dear best friend introduce me to K-Pop through variety show such as X-Men and Love Letter. And from there, I start to listen to K-Pop.
After watching Super Junior’s Full House, I start to become their fans and getting to know K-Pop even more…
And the rest is history… XD
Though I’m 21 years old right now, I feel so happy to feel how it’s like to become a fangirl again. Believe it or not, this K-Pop things, including many variety shows and music programs, have helped me through a quite hard time last year… XD
1TYM is one of my biggest fandom right now, though I just knew them less than a year, but I adore them so much…
From YG Family, I only listen to Big Bang before, but after I knew 1TYM, I start to look for another YG Family artists, and now I love most of them!! <3
Yg has the most talented artists in K-Pop industry, like Teddy and GD to mention a few. That’s why I love them even more…
