Diary| A inner kpop healing moments 🥹🫶🏾

I don’t care what no one says, Kpop is my safe space

🤍 My Story:

In 2009 my friend showed me Haru Haru by Big Bang for the first time, and the emotions they were able to convey despite me knowing 0 Korean, intrigued me. We started learning Korean, watching variety shows (similar to reality shows) and finding new kpop songs. I went so far as to create a kpop club in high school to learn the dances and perform them at rallies & talent competitions. Every other Friday when my dad went out and mom went to bowling club, I would be in the living room, projector hooked up to my laptop and I would be watching music videos. In college, I met a friend through dance class and we practiced and danced to multiple songs.

I performed a mix I made at my County Fair & even attended SM Kpop audition in Los Angeles.

In 2013, I joined the military and my love for dance and kpop followed me. I made covers in the gym. In 2016 when I moved out the dorms and had my own apartment, I remember buying my first curved tv for $400 at Walmart, and the first thing I played was Highlight by Seventeen. From 2017 to 2018, I moved to Korea and my entire life changed. I was so happy and comfortable. I met another friend who liked kpop and dancing, and we would be out every other weekend going to concerts. 2019 I went to BlackPink concert and remembered rapping BTS Cypher 4 to a co-worker, like it was the hottest rap out there. In 2020, I fell off from kpop after Itzy debuted and haven’t listened to it until 2025!

And here I am, Saturday night listening to 2nd Generation Kpop and watching music shows , music videos and dancing. I miss dancing so much; Kpop dance gave me so much confidence and happiness. I miss being with people that get it and understand what I’m saying.

🤍 My Takeaways: whenever I feel myself getting depressed or sad or lonely, I revert back to kpop because I listened to it and learned the dances by myself since I was young. And I guess if I can get through that, I can get through anything really.

It's totally understandable to feel that connection. K-pop really does have a way of lifting spirits and bringing people together😭

Closure & Inner Healing
Sometimes closure doesn’t come in the form of an apology or explanation it comes from choosing peace over chaos. The most powerful healing begins when you stop looking for answers from them and start choosing yourself. 📝This is your reminder: you don’t need their permission to move forward.
