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😆
The sarcasm is overflowing so I’m here to give a counter-view – I genuinely think he’s incredibly charismatic and (not-uniquely) handsome. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Looking forward to his new drama lol
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.
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 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!)
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 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I3_CclFXIk0
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.

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.

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