Kpop fans: why do you love them?

Hi,

please tell me which group/solo is you ALL TIME FAVORITE (no matter if they are yet active or not or disbanded...). i know it might be hard, but please ONLY ONE!

i know in kpop, there's a group/singer for every kpop fan, which can't be forgotten. name me it, please.

and please tell me WHY you love it. i don't mean a reason like: they are great, they have the best music, they are friendly.

i mean something reasonable. no matter how long it is. just give me your best reason. like defending your favorite Idol.

something that makes me become Blackjack, Triple S, SOne, E.L.F, ....... for a while!

Let me give you an example:

my reason for Loving SS501:

my friend has describe it the best in some words, video and a picture:

http://www.6theory.com/forum/index.php/user/148216...

"the biggest reason for me to love them is, even though they are not from a big famous company like SM or YG, they could make their way trough others and got popular. till they could become 3rd most popular boyband (4th most popular band) http://kpoplive.com/ . means they worked so hard. and i've never seen them breaking their promises. like how Heo Young Saeng performed his recent album with a cast on his hand!

not mentioning how peaceful Triple S are! they supported U-Kiss so much during Dream concert 2010 that Alexander's father was so touched. he even made the word Kiss501 word.

also

there's a fact about SS501 which i can say only Triple S knows. and that's they don't produce their music for anyone else than Triple S and themeselves. also anyone who thinks like them!.

this may seem a little arrogant, but the fact is that they don't produce songs to make others enjoy. they produce them for themeselves. that's why their most fav song is "wings of the world" and almost no one other than Triple S knows this song.

they enjoy their music. look when they sing green peas. they close their eyes and just sing it with their hearts. not caring about how others think. that's why many underrate them.

and Triple S think just like them, that's why my VIP friend can't understand why i'm totally in love with Green Peas and Wings of the world, which she never will listen to.

their style is same as classical music. every song has it's own story, which you have to be Triple S or Double S to know."

as i'm kinda new to kpop, i need an answer like that. which one of my friends gave me before. and made me fall in love with SS501.

Thanks in advance^^

Update:

I know i've asked this before. but they deleted it 'cause i hadn't put "?". so i ask it again.

    Infinite is my favorite K-Pop group because they are not from a large company but they still have made their mark in the industry. Many talented artists are part of their company, like Epik High and Nell. They're very good at creating songs from different genres, whether it's a soft ballad or a pop song with rhythm.

    I love how they don't have to rely on appearance to increase popularity because many fans say they were drawn in by their talents. Their songs all have deep meaning, and their videos are well done. They also have a unique ending to them. And none of them have autotune in it (and if they do, I can't tell).

    Their songs aren't all bubbly and all about love, either. Some have a darker side to them but still convey strong meaning.

    I think Infinite is one of the most synchronized dance feoups I've ever seen. They practice endlessly to make sure each movement matches, and if someone makes one mistake, they start over. They're extremely dedicated and hardworking, often injuring themselves in the process, but all their blood and sweat pays off in the end.

    They also know many dances from other popular idol groups like SHINee and 2PM. (The youngest loves girl group dances ^^). I saw a video of them dancing to Justin Bieber's 'Baby' and Far East Movement's 'Like a G6', and they made Bieber look GOOD. I don't like that song, but after seeing that dance, I started singing along haha.

    Each member has a unique personality to them. I like how they are themselves. For instance, the youngest, Sungjong, is very diva-like, but many discriminate him because he acts too girly (some even have the nerve to call him "gay"). But he's always cheerful and bright, which is why he is my favorite member. Everyone cares greatly for their fans and promise that they'll continue to work hard in the future. And so far, they haven't disappointed.

    I honestly found about this group indirectly by a friend. I was watching her dance video and there was this song that stood out from the rest. I thought it sounded unique, so I checked it out. It was BTD by Infinite, and I was immediately led in by their vocals, not looks. Now I'm glad I did, because Infinite has drawn me in by their great vocals and dance routines (though I have to say they're darn good-looking ^^). Now I am a proud Inspirit! (one of the better fan-names I've seen; it means "inspire" in old English).

    The sad thing is that they're terribly underrated because of a small fanbase compared to other groups from larger companies. I was reading their interviews and they said they went into busy malls and shops but were not recognized. They doubt themselves and feel like they haven't succeeded. I hope they do receive the attention and recognition they so greatly deserve!

    FT ISLAND!!!

    In my opinion, they're more talented than the other groups~ I love lotsa kpop boybands but they amaze me the most.. :D

    They don't dance but they play music instruments and sing.. Playing instruments are more difficult i think^^ Some of the members write and compose songs too :)

    Moreover, their personalities are fun and interesting..

    Lee Hongki, the awesome vocalist, is unique and charming :DD He has unique voice, unique fashion style, etc.. He dares to be different and it makes me love him even more :D and he's a true entertainer.. his performance is always enjoyable.. he always rocks the stage.. hahaha..

    Song Seunghyun, the rapper and guitarist, has the most fun personality.. he's funny, dorky, and never serious :D yet, he's a tough guy.. FYI, he's not a member since FTI debut in2007, he joined in early 2009, replaced Oh Wonbin, FTI former member's place. He got more than 2000 from that. It was hard on him.. But now, i think there are no more antis of him :))

    Choi Minhwan, the maknae, is a cute, naive. He's polite, kind, etc.. And he's also a great drummer. :D

    The two other members, Lee Jaejin[bassist, vocalist] and Choi Jonghun[guitarist] are fun and awesome too.. :DD But it will be too long if i write about them here LOL

    There are many more reasons why i love them so much, but i can't write them all..^^

    So yeahh~ Hope this is the answer you want.. XD

    My favorite are 2 bands Super Junior & SS501 :D

    They are simply mind-blowing. For me the funny thing is I am not a Korean so I don't understand Korean at all yet I manage to sing a few songs xD Their music is so catchy. It sounds so good to my ears. When I cam across Super Junior I went so crazy that I dint listen to anything or anyone except their songs & then I found ss501, I heard I'm your man by them & again I was like wow! How do these guy sing so well & look so gorgeous. There are like N numbers of bands in South Korea I wish I could listen to all of them. But I hardly know few.

    My bias is Kyuhyun from SuJu <33

    Wish I could marry him :P

    All time favorite kpop band has always been TVXQ, and even though they are separated, but they're still the best and unbeatable. Why?

    1. They improve. They actually improve. By looking back from their early years until now, their songs just get better. Some singers can't improve as fast as them. Look at Code-V, the group who wanted to surpass TVXQ, they can't even improve faster.

    2. Their entertaining. I can never get tired of any songs of theirs. Compared with the other kpop singers, I easily get tired of their songs than TVXQ's songs.

    3. They're unique and talented and different from each other. All of them can compose and write their own songs, sing better in concerts than in the studio, and dance great. Each members have their own special voice. Combined, they are like Gods.

    4. Their solos are just awesome. They can sing good as together, but separated, they sing great too.

    Yes, the music video is an important part of a song. But I think that if you like the song you can enjoy it even without the mv. There are lots of good songs without mv and I still like them. If you listen to Kpop you will know :)

    My favorite soloist is IU, mostly because she's my idol, her singing abilities are amazing for her age. She's really talented at acting, guitar, makeup, and good at making friends( despite the fact that she is shy). She puts a lot of emotion in to her songs, and they are really unique. Her only weakness is sports haha. Uhhmmm, i think that's all( i'm probably forgeting a ton of stuff)...oh yeah she didn't give up when she got rejected from JYP. She is also obsessed with corinne bailey rae <---is that how you spell it?

    I love how everyone is voting down the groups so they could feel confident about their own choice. Hahaha.

    I gotta say, I like super junior but my pick is 2NE1.

    They`ve been in there for two years. They are beast, full of win. I 2NE1 is so confident. Off stage, they are fun girls that i would LOVE to hang out with! They look so sweet and innocent and they act younger than their ages hahaha. Park Bom (One of the members) Looks like an angel, but eats like a truck driver. But really, they are down to earth, and they`re always real.

    They LOVE EATING too! On stage, i hardly notice thats them, because they are filled with swag and power! When I first heard their music i was thinking; "Ehh...." But i listened to it more and more , then it got stuck in my head all day haha.

    They do a lot of contests; right now is their "I AM THE BEST" Dance contest, and recently held their "Lonely" Contest! They want to make sure their fans are apart of them.

    You can really capture how they work, and how they are by watching 2NE1 TV. they do a lot of hard work too. They`ve went to Korea to LA to work on a US Debut. - Yes, they are going international!

    i love them, they have really become a part of my music life<3

    I`d say 2NE1. They don`t even care much of their looks or on the outside much, just how their preformances are going. They have raging confidence. CL Is the 'leader' of the four girls. She`s a fierce rapper, dancer, and an excellent vocal range.

    Park Bom is one of the main vocalists in the group. Her voice is very powerful, she sings amazingly with emotion-Hell, ALL OF THEM DO! But she sings even without making strange faces.

    Then there`s Minzy/Minji. She`s an amazing dancer. She`s the youngest but you hardly know because she`s just poppin, rapping, and strutting her stuff all over the stage with beaming confidence. Without being a s*ut.

    Then there`s Dara! She thinks she isn`t very useful in the group at times, which is very sad): She has a very soft voice, its really calming and angelic. But she doesn`t get very much singing, its usually before the chorus, which Park Bom usually gets. But the reason why is because, Park Bom has breathing problems, and if you ever see their preformances, they`re ALWAYS dancing. So the chorus is a little break for her, so she can sing without breathing and huffing all over the microphone. But there will be a time when Dara hits the chorus, I also think shes the cutest \(^A^)/

    The four girls are all playful and so nice! Park Bom likes to eat a lot, which sometimes makes me think shes so cute><! Park Bom is also the oldest! At 27 years old! She looks 20! They are really nice girls. They`re also the kind that if someone says sh*t about them, they won`t start anything, just walk away. Also they are sexy, without being skimpy! Just give them all baggy hoodies, men`s jeans, and some old worn out sneakers, they`ll still be sexy in that. Let me mind you, they are not really like other Kpop groups, except for BigBang in the slightest. They aren`t the girly- Oh, now let`s try being sexy~ Kind of group. It just comes to them naturaly.

    They`re music, is something you can feel. They`re either catchy, or really heartbreaking. Some like "I am the best" or "I don`t care." Will boost your confidence, well it boosted mine haha. My favorite right now is "Go away.":3. They`re the only group that has a whole album of songs that i would actually listen to! They have amazing charisma, I`m pretty sure Lady Gaga is somewhere taking notes.

    Hehe. I'm a SHAWOL - I like SHINee because... well, yeah, they're music is freaking awesome. I love their ballads and I can feel their emotions. And I know how hard they've all worked to get where there are, and I like that they're all so talented. Their personalities are my favorites. After I watched Hello Baby, I started (kinda) liking them ;D Taemin is my bias - he's like such an innocent child and when he dances, he turns into a sexy beast ;) I love all their personalities...yeah. :P
