Way to get myslef from being too involved in the kpop world?

wtf are you talking about?

Heh, I'm kinda like you in a way. I'm really into SHINee and FT Island, so I would go to certain forums at least 10 times a day, and I would go to allkpop a lot to check any news on them or other celebs I like. heh, and I'm very into K-pop. :] You can say, that I'm ..obsessed. xDD I guess it's okay to really like a certain celeb, just don't cross the line. (like those freaky blood "fan letters" come celebs are getting....that is just beyond over) and yes, I'm like you I sometimes get mad or just annoyed at people who are bashing the celebs I like. What I do is just ignore them. Let them talk their little heart out. I guess they just want attention from those who like the celeb they are bashing. and everyone has their own opinion, so ignore them..pretend that you didn't read it if you did. Sometimes no matter what you say, the person won't change their mind...so it's their fault that they are missing the celebs good music. and it's up to the celeb to change what other people think about them...so..continue to support and love your fave celeb. ^__^ Heh. It's okay to be addicted to music, again just don't cross the line. Try only listening to music for only times you are bored, or do something like watching TV, read a book or manga to get your mind off K-pop. Try to go on K-pop sites for maybe only once a day...Also, for me..when school starts, I don't get much time to fangirl...so school will affect your addiction. XD I hope I helped a little....sorry for my ranting. >____________<

lol yeah ive seen some of your comments on allkpop lately when i go and comment on some of their stuff. but i wouldnt consider this as a bad thing.. instead of looking at people's comments, just ignore the comment section and just read the articles (thats what i do) get on facebook (if you have one), msn, study (have u taken SAT yet?), go to the mall with your friends, movies, etc. ..i think im addicted to watching korean tvshows and dramas (but im korean)

I know, I know. I was on the same phase as you and was trying to get out of this obsession. It's hard isn't it? TIP: the more you try to stop yourself from being obsessed, the more you will be drawn to this certain obsession of yours (which is KPOP). As a fan, you would easily be offended when someone's insulting your idol but look, an idol group is not perfect. They have downsides as well. Remember, RESPECT EACH PERSONS OPINION ---but I know that it's not right to insult. Think of it this way, they might either be jealous or there's something wrong with that group that's why they hated/insulted them. Here, if you have kpop music, try to not listen to them for a week and listen to the new popular English songs that you have. Then, if you have pictures of your favorite group, please try not to open them or at least delete them. Next, don't visit kpop sites like allkpop because it tells everything about the kpop world and it's not going to help. To sum it all up, you just need to avoid anything that has something to do with kpop and slowly but surely, you will see that you're out of that phase. Good luck on getting out Kpop! It would be a long process.... no kidding!

I experienced a similar phase, except mine was more extreme. It first started out as curiosity as I wanted to know if the events from the Korean historical dramas were really true. Then it turned into an obsession, because the more I found out about this country, it made me proud of who I am and my ethnic country. And then, I became a racist the more I discovered what the Japanese and Chinese did to my people, and what they are still doing today. (e.c. Dokdo, East Sea, Koguryo, Kaya, etc.) I became sensitive to comments made by Chinese and Japanese racists/trolls. I would argue all day and night with them. Later, I became close-minded and did not accept that was being critical, but true, of South Korea... about it's own historical fabrication. (e.c. Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Haedong Kumdo, Daehan Kumdo, Yudo, etc.) My over-obsession towards Korea eventually prevented my mental growth and blinded me from seeing the bigger picture... From experience, there is no other way but to control yourself. ("Self-control.") There are many ways to do that, but they take considerable amount of time depending on the person. Yoga or martial arts that still hold it's traditional value will not only help your physical growth but your mental growth as well. The phase you are in just indicates that you are still young, mentally. It will go away soon depending on how well you can control yourself. Hope this helped. edit: Aside from controlling yourself, if you want to continue loving K-pop, one good friend of mine once told me, "Limit yourself. Do enough today so that you want to do more tomorrow. If you do everything at once, you'll lose it all." But this also takes a lot of self-control.

It's not wrong that you like KPop. I'm American and I only listen to Billy Joel and Oingo Boingo. All my other music is from England, Japan, France, Finland, India, Korea, China, or Russia. I belong to only one of those nationalities (Russian) by 15%. This isn't bad...it may be an addiction, but it's better than doing drugs! You just love music. I wouldn't call that bad.
