How do you differentiate a Fan and a Non-Fan in the Kpop Fandom?
-You memorized every member's name by heart.
-Listen to their music more than an hour everyday.
-Knows their favorite stuff by heart
-Watch EVERY variety show that they are in it.
-Checking any new news about them.
-Got upset with Anti's who bashed them.

-You listen to EVERY song they had recorded.
-Buy all of their albums or collects them.
-Felt like learning Korean
-Memorized all/ a part of their dance routines.
-Smiling to yourself about their funny and dorky moments.
-You want to become famous in your country JUST so you can somehow use your fame to get closer to them.
-Every time you hear about their “ideal girl/guy” you see if you compare… no matter which member it is
-You’re extremely proud of them when they write a song
-Looking for ways to be registered as a member in their official fanclub in Korea.
-You see a “stalking” video on youtube featuring one of the members and feel bad that they can’t get any privacy… but still watch the video.
-You know their birthdays but don’t know your own friends’s birthday
-If a few of the members are missing on a Variety show you can imagine what the missing members would say if they were there
-You subscribe to people on Youtube who sub their videos
-You have more pictures of them in your computer than you do your family or friends put together
-Everytime new pictures crop up you stop whatever else you’re doing, and make sure to see each and every one
- Everytime you see a picture from an old era you get upset and think “why haven’t I seen this before!”
- When reading subtitles you still put the volume up when you’re watching a variety show… it’s not like you understand what’s being said
- You don’t know what the hit songs are in your own country because all you listen to is their songs
-Meeting them would make your life
-The essentials you need to survive are :Air, Water, Food,THEM
- You feel all the information you know about them is important and share it with all your friends… no matter how unnecessary it is
-You watch an entire Korean/Japanese live award show just to catch a glimpse of them… (hardcore fan)
-To you, for the most part, Korea = THEM
- When someone criticizes THEM, you feel like tearing their neck off (ohh… ) and come up with so many reasons why they’re awesome
Most of the Reasons above are from:Credits: OneTVXQ.
So Are you in the FANDOM of KPOP or just a not there yet fan who doesn't care about the members and their feelings who only, likes their songs?
In My Opinion, A TRUE Fan would always be there to support , help them to find their way back if they are lost and knock back their senses if they did something wrong,Stick with them even when they are having a hard time now.
