Description
Any other Latinos in the house, make some noiseeeee!
Growing up in a Hispanic household in South America, we were always exposed to English/American influences, which at the time we were praised for and it was definitely the cool thing to do. Now that we're into KPop, though, our families and friends aren't as into it.
"But you don't understand the language!" - we didn't either when we first started listening to music in English
"Those are men? They look like women!" - yes. South Korea has different beauty standards, and male idols wear as much makeup as female idols do (which we're not mad to see some level of equality there)
"You're fan-girling over boy bands and girl groups... in your 30s?!" - first of all, rude. Second of all, yes. Hell yes. We found a segment of music and entertainment that was new to us, is always exciting, and provides new content CONSTANTLY. What's not to love?
In other words, our journey into KPop hasn't been something that is immediately understood or welcomed in our existing circles, but that's exactly why we started MIA2K. Also, we know we're not alone. There are TONS of South Florida and Latin American KPop fans, because people with good taste are everywhere, and that's just a fact.
If you're feeling alone in your KPop journey, you're not! We're here for you, and whether your first language is Spanish, English, or Korean, good music is always going to be good music.
As always, please forgive any mispronunciations, and enjoy our mix of Latin-based western observations.
We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, please don't forget to subscribe and leave us 5-star reviews wherever possible.
