13 Signs That You're Too Far Into K-Pop

But how long did Justin Bieber train for? Is he your bias?

13 Signs That You're Too Far Into K-Pop
United Kpop

There are different dynamics between being a fan of an American artist and being a fan of a Korean artist, especially with groups. It isn't until later, when you're listening to American music after binging on Korean pop for ages, that you realize those different dynamics.

Not sure what I mean? Here are a few things that some international Korean pop (KPop) fans can probably relate to.

1. Calling a certain artist or member of a group your "bias."

"He's my favorite." "OMG, he's my bias, too!" "Wait...he's your what?" "...Nothing."

2. When discovering a new non-Korean group, wondering what each of their group roles are

So wait, is he the leader? Or the dancer? Wait who's the main vocal? How about the visual? The maknae? The rapper?

3. Feeling like the members of a group don't care about each other that much due to the lack of "skinship."

There's a distinct lack of no-homo cuddling or butt-touching here...

4. Or really the lack of any eye-contact that is clearly not sexual in the slightest.

Sorry, can't feel the love not enough eye contact.

5. Secretly wanting the youngest member of a group or a younger artist to do "Gwiyomi."

They've got the cuteness for it, so why not?

6. Also finding it kind of rude that the youngest doesn't refer to the other members as "Hyung" or "Unnie."

Respect your elders!

7. Thinking to yourself that this guy would look really pretty with a little bit of eyeliner.

Eyeliner isn't just for girls and emo groups, guys...

8. Also thinking to yourself that there isn't nearly enough hair color variety in this group.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and hair color is the window to my attention span.

9. Wondering why this artist doesn't have an official color.

Everyone else has one!

10. Or a light-stick design...

What else am I suppose to wave around during a concert? A lighter? That's dangerous!

11. Or a practiced greeting...

I'm sorry, who are you?

12. Or any official fan chants to their songs...

Wait what? So I'm just supposed to sing along to the entire song?

13. Ultimately realizing that you don't actually know how to English anymore.

No, but what is this language? What are they saying?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
