Friend: Why do you like KPOP So much anyway? I mean, you cant even understand most of the lyrics and their autotuned songs- Me: Dont start that again. Friend: But- Me: Have you ever experienced waking up every morning just to deliver milk in order to not burden youre parents with the training expenses. Friend: Well, No. But- Me: Did you drop out of high school to pursue youre dream even if your uncertain that youll make it big? Me: Have you Tried dancing and singing onstage with your heels on. Me: Did you experience hearing so much criticism you end up breaking down but you put on a smile for the sake of others. Me: Have you tried no more than two hours of sleep before tackling a new day all over again? Me: Do you experience having a hater that can go as far as putting glue in your drink, causing you to be hospitalized? And at the end youll forgive her because shes the same age as your sibling? Me: Have you tried auditioning countless of times before finally getting accepted? Me: Can you stay single for the sake of your supporters? Me: Can you sing and dance live — at the same time? Me: Can you live up to the image a company has given you. Me: Can you bear living away from your family and friends, not being able to communicate with them for a long time because of your work. Friend: Well, when we grow up thats what well do anyway so Me: At the age of Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or maybe even eighteen? Me: Did you know that they wasted their childhood with endless training for like 4-7years? And got back from school at 11:00PM and start training right after theyve got back from school till 3:00AM And wake up the next morning and do that thing/routine over and over again for 4-7Years? Friend: ......... Me: Theres more to KPOP than it seems. If you see them without the spotlight shining down on them, then youll understand.. -Daniel John Rampas Jung-
