While we’re on the topic of stanning, which Korean celebrities or groups do all you beautiful Beanies stan (if you do stan anybody, that is)?

For myself, I would call myself an EXO stan first and foremost. They’re the ones who got me into K-pop, which in turn got me into K-dramas. I can’t think of a musical group or performer (not just in K-pop but in music generally) I like more than EXO. Within the group, I’m very partial to the vocal line, who compromise some of the best Korean vocalists in my opinion.

For a while, I think I would have called myself an SF9 stan and got7 stan. But to be honest, I haven’t followed either group very closely for a long time. In the case of SF9, most of their recent music is just not my thing. However, I continue to love and stan Rowoon (watch Extra-ordinary You if you haven’t already!).

On the other hand, as noted in my previous post on my wall, I’ve followed NCT pretty closely since 2016. I don’t think I would’ve called myself a stan until recently, when I realized I liked them enough to buy the recent NCT 127 album. I don’t have biases yet.

Outside of K-pop but still in the realm of music, I really like Park Hyo-shin. I don’t know much about either of him, but I LOVE his music enough to buy it (a big deal for me, given how miserly I am). They’re both amazing singers.

In terms of actors, my list would be: Lee Junho, Park Minyoung, Do Kyungsoo (I know this is cheating LOL), Park Bogum, Jung Ryeowon, Nam Jihyun, Lee Jongsuk, and Kim Hye-soo. This isn’t, of course, to deny that I like other actors. However, these are the actors who I follow closely and I would a drama just for these actors, even if the rest of the drama sucked.

    I stan TWICE, they’re the only group I follow closely (like very close) and I casually listen to every other groups too. For soloists, I Stan IU the most. There are always others but well…
    As for actors, I have a lot too but Park Min young, Nam ji hyun, Jung so min, Ji Chang wook and my baby Chae soo bin, there are still more but these are the ones I can list now😆

    Lee Min Ho is my favorite because I think he’s incredibly charismatic and uniquely handsome.

    Listened to a lot of kpop groups back in the days but I’ve only ever called myself a fan of Super Junior. 11 years and counting.

    As for non-kpop, I love Yoon Jongshin. He has really awesome songs. Through Youth Over Flowers, I got introduced to Yoon Sang, Yoo Heeyeol, and Lee Juck. Their discography is beautiful.

    As for actors, I think my favourite is Jo Jungseok.

    Park So Dam and Kim Seon Ho are my true heart throbs. Oh and Lee Sun Kyun!

    Sadly my kpop faves have disappointed me. I do admit I like Yuki from (G)idle very very veryyy much.

      Kim Seon-ho is such a cutie. He’s hilarious Two Days & One Night.

    I have been stanning Super Junior for almost 10 years!

      I follow them casually when I have time. I especially love watching D&E + Yesung. Eunhyuk and Yesung are the original Tom and Jerry LOL, while Donghae is just a lovable pabo.

        I love the evil maknae but donghae is such a sweetheart!

          I know! Donghae is my favourite in Super Junior. He’s so innocent and nice (most of the time; he has his evil moments too), plus he does so many stupid yet hilarious things. This is an example of him being adorable: https://youtu.be/V-S7AjSEUDc

    I stan GOT7 💚 And maybe SuperM (I feel like it’s too early yet to tell if my feelings are stan-level but I bought their first album (it came with the concert ticket) and went to their concert (which was awesome!)

      I don’t think of SuperM as a group for whatever reason. However, if they are a group, then I consider myself a stan of them as well.

      GOT7 are great! I went through a Jinson phase for quite a while. I still like them, although not maybe as a stan. I follow them casually when I can.

        GOT7 haven’t been doing much lately anyways. They were supposed to have their first stadium show in Thailand back in February but it got cancelled due to the virus 💔 They’ve been coming on vlive every now and then and keep hinting at a comeback but so far there’s no official date.
        Jinson’s friendship is so sweet 🥺 Have you seen GOT7’s Friendship Test video? It has a lot of great Jinson moments

          Thanks for the link! Yeah, I always find it so strange how silly Jinyoung can get. He seems like such scrupulous straight-shooter most of the time.

    BTS. Min Yoongi? I’m tired of stanning folks lately. Would like my love to be reciprocated T_T

      I don’t know, to me part of the appeal comes from the impossibility of reciprocation. I highly doubt I’d feel the way I do about these people if I knew these people personally, much less if they actually liked me back.

        LOL ofc – I didn’t mean reciprocity from idols. Just meant I’d like some real-life movement instead of one sided love.
