I do have a TikTok page, so I do create videos.
Mostly, I do it to support what BTS are going to be producing, what they're going to be coming out with next.
I went to Korea for the first time in April, and while I was there,
I went to get a tattoo from a tattoo artist who has actually tattooed all seven members of the band,
so they all have this little number seven friendship tattoo.
I didn't get the interest only in the music, but also the culture itself.
I got interested in Korean language, Korean history.
I started a channel with a friend of mine, and we call it all about that K-pop life.
And through that channel, we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the worst of them between.
And what we say is that it's content made by the fans for the fans,
and it's a way for us to communicate with other people who are like us, who are fans,
who maybe have the same viewpoints, maybe have different viewpoints,
but really just to talk about the genre and totality,
and what it means to be a fan of K-pop.
Traveling to Korea from countries thousands of miles away, learning the language, even getting it to two.
It's amazing the lengths that fans of Korean pop music, otherwise known as K-pop, will go to show their appreciation.
And in doing so, precious Luis, Ali and Wendy,
listeners to this forum from the BBC World Service, have all found a sense of community.
K-pop fandom is but the latest manifestation of a kind of behavior that has been with us for hundreds,
if not thousands of years.
