I anticipate the next round of Japanese promotions will bode bad news for the Korean KissMe fandom.

Next round? Hell, THIS round of promotions has been bad news for the Koreans. They’ve changed SO much (the fans) and there’s been a lot tension because the Japanese fans have come over here in DROVES. They’re jealous and angry because Japan can give U-Kiss the support it needs, and NH isn’t looking back. Dora Dora was released just to keep the fans here happy. That’s all.

I know, I’m saying that with the ever-increasing tension we could see some visible scuffles that make waves further than just small K-KissMe gatherings in Korea. Like, issues on the fancafe or on twitter or something. Things the boys or the company will actually have to address or deal with.

I know things are rough there at the moment. It’s after this joke of a comeback with all the heightening issues that the fans might start acting out in a more serious way.

Oh, there have been some things already coming up, but nobody will talk about it. The Japanese fans buy dozens of CDs at a time (which I think is fantastic!) but then they end up getting at least half the spots in the fans signs (…Uh oh…) and of course they use Japanese because they think the guys will be okay (Jumping between three languages! Oh fun.) But the Korean fans got PISSED and started saying shit and complaining to staff.

So now speaking Japanese has been banned at fan signs in Seoul. Korean and English only. Which is TOTALLY fine with me, but Japanese was kinda the language I used with Dongho and Kiseop (Though Kiseop is all like “Fuck this this” and still thanks me in Japanese ㅋㅋㅋ) And while Japanese would probably be better for Hoon and Soohyun, they are ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to use English now. It’s endearing.

However, other than whining and complaining about how IT ISN’T FAIR and BAAAAAW TREAT US EQUAL, I don’t think the Korean Kiss Me fans would be able to go beyond what they do now. However. The Japanese fans… They’re much more determined and passionate, because they’re still a young fandom.

Personally? The promotion itself has been fun, because the guys have been healthy and relaxed throughout it. It’s the other fans who have made it miserable.

I mean like, think about your bias for a while.

Why did you become so biased towards that member?

He smiled at me and gave me a lot of attention during On Air. :D And then in case I hadn’t fallen completely head over heels, he exercised his incredible memory at my first fan sign and told me he remembered me at different shows and asked me about the performances and stuff.

Would you be as biased if you found U-Kiss at a different time? Why?

Well… I was a Dongho fan for a few months. I have a thing for little bitches.

Would you have gut-instinct chosen your current bias at a different time? Why? How much was it to do with the era or the styling of the concept?

No, not at all. Eli, Hoon and Dongho are more my “normal” type.

What interviews made you like your bias? Why? Was it how they looked or what they said or the way they answered?

I hadn’t really watched interviews before the bias was cemented. I had seen some Pops in Seoul, and I liked Kevin the best out of the three, but that’s also because I cannot stand Xander at all, and Eli was a bit dumb in Pops In Seoul…

What performances first enticed you? Why?

ON AIR. LOLOL. Oh god. Before I was even really into U-Kiss I had a reputation with fans. 

Have you ever questioned your bias? Why? What about if you let every doubt change your whole bias?

Constantly. But probably not in the way you’d think. I don’t question if I like others more, but I question things that are said, peformance decisions, smiles or lack there of… Lots of wondering of what’s going on in that head of his.

Is your bias that important to your fandom experience? Do you make friends who share your bias or do you avoid fans who share your bias? Why?

I never ever would have been as into k-pop if Kevin hadn’t literally picked me out of a crowd the very first event I went to and started shooting me hand hearts and smiles and posing for photos. Kevin made K-Pop much more warm and inviting. Like seeing a good friend in a sea of insanity.

As for making friends who have the same bias… I really do like talking to the other Kevin fans. However, they don’t always feel the same. Fandom has changed so much more than people can imagine. Kiss Mes have become pretty jealous and are constantly afraid of U-Kiss being stolen away from Korea. So they don’t talk to me as much as they used to.

Do you enjoy talking only about your bias or is it only a mild input on your fandom life? Why?

Oh, I love talking about everyone in k-pop. To be honest, lately, my friend and I have been talking more about Hoon than the rest of U-Kiss combined. We’re convinced that he’s perfect in every way. But I would never be able

I’m so curious about KissMe.

These are non-rhetorical questions but I doubt anyone will answer me. No one ever talks to me about their biases like I wish they would. :(
