Why a 25+ meme ?
Being a slightly older kpop and kdrama fan I (and a few others with me) always get a little disappointed by the friending memes.
Lots of 12-17ish year olds. Nothing wrong with being that age (it's wonderful), but someone 25+ or even 35+ can get a bit
discouraged by it. At least that's how it is for me.
I suspect there might be lots of older fans, like me, who feel like that. If you're 25+ - 35+ you really don't have much in common with a
16 year old.That's a fact. It always keeps me from participating in the memes, thinking what's the use ?I'm thinking there might be more fans out there feeling the same way. So therefore the 25+ cut off. Also since this is a 25+ meme please only participate if you're in fact 25 or older !
Also this meme doesn't have a deadline. No need to comment within the first 5 mins after posting (though you're welcome to do so).
There's time zones and I assume most 25+ y.o. have college,work and families to deal with (that pesky real life !)
Please feel free to come back and check for new comments anytime, or for lazy people (like me :p) track this post for new comments ;)

Kpop (incl. biases): a whole bunch of old school - Sechskies, H.O.T (Heejun), Shinhwa (Jin, though tbh I probably talk about Hyesung more), TRAX, all the old SM groups; Super Junior (Yesung, Kangin, Heechul), Yunho (lol not even "TVXQ" :X), Beast; Korean rock groups like Yoon Band, NeLL, izi (omg LOVE izi), cherry filter, rumble fish...; I'm familiar with (and like) everyone who debuted up until 2007/2008
Kdrama (incl. biases): N/A... oh oh but I do love Jang Geunsuk! and UHMFORCE!
What can we find in your LJ (private/fan stuff etc) / how much do you post: honestly I mostly use my LJ these days for subbing and sharing things in a Jpop fandom, and I've never been great at consistently commenting on friends' LJ entries. I'd actually rather friend people on Twitter, since that's what I'm on the most often!
Other interests (can be fandoms or hobbies or anything else): Johnnys, especially Kisumai :x; literature! I'm always up for talk about reading or writing (anything from fanfics and trashy romance novels to Shakespeare XD)
What kind of friends are you looking for: I've been a fan of Kpop since ~2001, and what with Shinhwa comeback and most of the idols that I used to like having come back from the army now, I'd really love to have somebody to spazz over some ahjusshi idols with me XD! I'm open to new groups and stuff too, if you want to introduce them to me, but tbh I've been into Kpop so long I look at the new kids these days with kind of a jaded eye lol. :x
Pet peeves: "oppa is always right" attitude, and people who have no respect for Kpop history. also, tbqh, JYJ, but I'm trying to overcome that...
Twitter/Tumblr/FB/etc: @kangyera on Twitter
Anything else: If it wasn't already clear from what I've said above, I'm mostly active in a Jpop (Kisumai) fandom and I do talk about them a lot. I understand that can be annoying for people who aren't into them, so no hard feelings if no one cares for Kisumai flail ^^. I really am looking for more Kpop fans to befriend though, because not having anyone to talk about Kpop with is making me more distant and I don't want that!
