We're all diehard fans of our favorite K-pop group. But how did we get here? Through these 13 stages of course!
Stage 1: A new artist/group is announced.
And you can't help but excitedly check them out.
STAGE 2: Someone catches your eye in particular.
(Oooh who's that?)
In all of the posters, teasers, and announcements, you can't help but notice one member with all of his/her glorious charisma and charm.
STAGE 3: YOU COUNT DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL THEIR DEBUT...
(Omg how long do I have to wait for.)
The endless wait is real.
Stage 4: Finally! their new song is released.
(And you can't help dancing along.)
This song now gives you life.
STAGE 5: Not to mention that the music video is ridiculously addicting.
(Can't stop watching this glorious thing.)
Meanwhile your friends and family are tired of you showing it to them for the twentieth time now.
(Their reaction every time.)
STAGE 6: Commence listening to nothing but the song for the next week.
(or two weeks.)
At this point, your peers are ready to rip their ears out of their heads since it's all that you play around them.
STAGE 7: Remember that member you couldn't help but notice? BAM. New bias.
And you're not even mad about it.
STAGE 8: But then you look at the other members and realize that you can't decide on a bias after all.
(WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS GROUP SO BEAUTIFUL)
STAGE 9: You buy all the things related to them.
Albums. Mouse pads. Posters. Socks with their faces on them. RIP wallet.
STAGE 10: And new concert announcements leave you curled up on the floor sobbing.
(WHY DON'T I LIVE IN KOREA)
You can't fly all the way there to support your babies.
STAGE 11: You can't help but look up literally everything about them.
("I am Fan #1.")
Through some hardcore Internet stalking, you memorize their birthdays, favorite foods, their weird quirks and talents... and the future qualities they want in a spouse.
Stage 12: And anyone who dares to insult them just has a death wish.
They'll think twice before they decide to utter such blasphemy again.
STAGE 13: You're ridiculously proud about their first award
Them:
You:
You can't help but cry when they cry on stage.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY A DIEHARD FAN!!
Now go forth and spread your fandom love everywhere.
