Is it bad that I feel this way?? I've been into KPOP since high school, around the same time I discovered Wattpad back in 2013. I was just like any other fan, totally simping when the oppas showed off their aegyo and did fan service. But I've grown up since then. I graduated and matured, and so have my tastes. I've moved on from the days when I would swoon and giggle at their cute little flirtations. I'll admit, I'm not really in the loop about the current KPOP groups, but I still listen to their music in general. It's just that I'm not into simping over idols anymore beside the ones I grew up with—most of them are way younger than me! I can't see them that way now.
This is what I'm wrestling with lately. I recently reconnected with a friend from high school, and she's super into KPOP till now which is cool with me. But she wants me to watch this idol survival show. I was like, "Sure, sounds good" but then I realized that all the idols are teens—there's even a 15-year-old!! And of course, there's bound to be aegyo and flirty fan service too. I mean, everyone has their own tastes but I just can't picture myself enjoying the show or feeling giddy over someone so much younger. What am I gonne do to survive watching it? I honestly don't want to hurt my friend's feelings by saying no to watching it.
