I got interested in Loona around 2018 I think? if I recall correctly I knew of some songs prior like hi high or heart attack, but kpop wasn't something I could get into just, yet. like it felt, for a lack of better words, so foreign for quite some time like even if I knew some songs years ago from conventions, the whole stan culture was something that I hardly experienced, even online.

when produce 48 aired, I watched that actively and with izone forming, I discovered a few other groups as well, loona being part of them. wasn't my ult yet, though, and I didn't bias choerry yet either. at that point it was hyeju, but kept switching between a few members. either way, I didn't follow them too actively and my general interest dwindled a little, partly because I felt intimidated in a way to talk about it despite having a side acc lmao because I wasn't as into it and my s/o at that time kinda fueled those thoughts and took a bit of my fun because they, now in retrospect, had this whole "the new gens aren't as great" vibe lol

but well we broke up and soon after so what released so!! LMAO I figured now might be the time to try get into loona and kpop again and here we are, that release was kind of a domino effect with scream releasing soon after so that I got into deukae around the same time.

mmhh and as for choerry becoming my bias - I didn't really pick one for a while, but when they did the so what challenge and choerry went "ah, usually you ask your friends do to this but I don't have any/many" (along these lines) I remember being so sad about it all "how come someone like choerry doesn't have many friends, I will be her friend???" though I think she chose me when the very first photocard I ever pulled was her
