It’s interesting how my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker views my occasional interest in this one mainstream pop artist.
Like twice now, it’s come up, and each time she’s discussed it like I’m in some type of K-pop fandom mode about that star.
Like, the first time this came up, she tried to bond with me and she was like, “Did you hear her music the first time, and know?”.
And, the second time, she made some reference to me being that artist’s “biggest fan.”
It’s like there’s this whole self-realization-through-fandom thing that especially happens in K-pop, and she can’t conceive of liking a popstar in a different and lesser way, where it’s less connected to your sense of self.
