oh man i get extremely ticked off whenever kpop is compared to one direction because i'm just like.
"nO. NO, OKAY. DON'T EVEN. JUST STOP."
like honestly, kpop came first. and they dance while they sing. one direction does not.
lol my parents just grew used to me liking kpop. i even got my mom into kdramas and she know sings osts in the car LOL
but the thing is, i'm filipino, so my parents are more open to sk culture than other ethnicities, because they sometimes show filipino-dubbed kdramas or filipino kdrama remakes on the channels that we watch.
and dara from 2ne1 also liked in the philippines for a while, so yeah.
so i can't completely relate with you, but i understand some your feelings because at school, some of my friends did the same thing, saying that they looked like girls and all that.
bUT I EVENTUALLY GOT SOME OF THEM TO LISTEN TO IT
and know they're into bap and block b lol
that probably didn't make you feel any better i'm sorry i was totally just ranting about my life sob
but maybe it's best if you just keep listening to what you like, and your parents will just get used to it and learn to accept it c:
That's okay ^w^
Yeah, One Direction just sits there and looks somewhat pretty...
K-Pop is a whole 'nother world.
But, I'm biracial (black and german with some native american) so my parents don't understand why I like it, my dad is open-er to it versus my mom, like she'll watch a few seconds of a mv then complain about how fake the voices sound...
And one time at this restaurant we were at in Germany, the waiter we had was extremely handsome and he also happened asian, so immediately my mom's like " you only like him because he looks like your asian singers..."
I so scared to show my friends kpop because they'll be texting on their phones the whole time, and not paying attention to the mv xD
