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 ;)

Date: 2012-05-16 10:16 am (UTC)I'm currently watching Rooftop Prince and Iljimae too :)
I like the bands you listed (even if I'm bad with knowing Suju and CN Blue members, feel free to into them to me though ) and I'm following Young Saeng's solo career as well (actually I follow all the ss501 solo careers though I'm paying a bit more attention to YS, Kyu Jong and Hyung Jun than to HyunJoong and JungMin) .
I know absolutely nothing about Taiwanese pop music but it would be fun to find out :D
sometimes it sucks feeling old (at 34, omg).
Imagine how *I* feel ... I'm 39 >.< . You'll feel young around me ! :p
Most friending meme's I didn't even get past the first 3 comments or so ... I don't want 15 year olds as friends (and I'm sure they wouldn't want someone their mum's age as their friend either, very uncool)
I feel your pain about not being able to talk to anyone about kpop ... I tried with one RL friend and she was nice about it but .. yeah. And most others frown upon it (which is their loss, but it still sucks) or just make stupid remarks.
Friends ? ^^

Date: 2012-05-16 02:18 pm (UTC)I am LOVING Rooftop Prince, but I'm behind a bunch of episodes because my RL friend and I are watching them together and we haven't seen each other in two weeks D:
I should post about my epic love of CNBlue at some point. I actually like ss501 more than SJ (I have A LOT of issues with SJ), but I like certain things about them. :X Young Saeng is totally one of my biases and I love his music and I've totally preordered his new album, because I'm a crazy person. I like Kyu Jong's music too (and totally thought he was gonna be my bias, but I was SO WRONG). I like the other members, but I have this great fondness for Leader (I got into the habit of calling him that instead of Hyun Joong) and I downloaded all of his WGM episodes :X :X
Oh, man. It's going to be so much fun. My favorite mandopop singer is JJ Lin (the dude from Singapore), but I can also recommend Show Luo, Alien Huang, Yoga Lin and Chen Chusheng (and, actually, Han Geng, too).
Imagine how *I* feel ... I'm 39 >.< . You'll feel young around me ! :p
You're closer to my age than most of the people on my bias list, so that already gives you bonus points in my book! And I totally agree with you about friending memes. I did that for the Sarah Jane Adventures fandom and felt awkward because I was old 4enough to be parents of some of these people. D: Though the girl who runds the cpop tumblr I follow is in her teens, she's kind of adorable.
I accidentally got my RL friend into it via Super Junior, but she's the ONLY person I can talk to about it, so we email constantly. But I have so much kpop love that I want to talk about it to everyone and that never ends well.
Whoops. Friends? OF COURSE! You're added. :D

Date: 2012-05-16 03:52 pm (UTC)Eeek. Did they speak Russian as well ? Cos that would be kind of hilarious :D
I actually paid money to download stuff on dramaload.com. I don't usually like paying for stuff like that, they get their eps and subs from all over the net as well. But it saves me from haveing to search crappy torrents .... plus as it looks now I will have downloaded pretty much every drama on that site before my 'subscription' expires :P
I really don't know much about Suju, apart from a few member names and their music. I adore KyuHyun's voice and I have no idea why but I'm following Siwon on twitter.
ss501 will always be my favourite band. They got me into kpop (well.. the person who intro-ed them to me did .. ) .
And you never know who you end up biasing (I know that's not a word). I was very much into Leader the first few weeks, then I got to know them better and things changed. I really didn't like YoungSaeng at all at first, now I think he's totally hot and I love his music.
And Hyung Jun whom I thoguht was just a werid kid just totally stole my heart in 'Progamer' ♥
I actually pay least attention to Leader. I really do like him, I think it's just the sheer amount of stuff/news about him that I can't keep up with it preventing me from following what he does more.
I'm behind on RP as well. Just watched ep 12. I'm waiting for subs from WithS2, so I'm usually always behind on stuff (when they sub it I want their subs, but they're a little slower than the other places, but also better so it's worth the wait).
I love bonus points, thank you, I'll use them wisely :P
Tumblr is different though. I have a few 16 or so year olds that I follow. But you just click a button and that's it. No realy interaction.
And I added you ! I'll add you on tumblr too. If I can find your username on all the comments LOL

Date: 2012-05-16 05:26 pm (UTC)I watch most of the stuff via Netflix, Hulu and Dramafever (which I pay for). I'm not picky about subtitles, but I do download stuff -- like Leader and Yonghwa (of CNBlue) on WGM. And a lot of music.
LOLOL Siwon is crazy and hilarious. I don't really like SJ's music. I just adore Sungmin, and a few of the other boys. I used to be way more into them (uh, last fall, when I got into kpop), but I'm definitely over them. I love all of ss501 (uh, my RL friend and I call them double ass, because I was reading something about them and that's what these girls called them and it stuck), but I'm not overly fond of their music. I really only like Kyu Jong and Young Saeng's solo stuff -- especially Youngsaeng. SIGH. I love Leader, not because of his singing or anything, but because he's so weird and wonderful. But to be honest, I was against liking ss501 at first, because I watched Boys of Flowers (as my first drama, seriously) and I could not STAND Leader. He was so bad. But he's grown on me, even if his acting hasn't improved (I made an effort to watch Playful Kiss, it ... didn't stick). I watched Thank You For Waking Me Up and that totally won me over for everyone, though Leader was my least favorite.
I think we've only gotten through episode 12 as well. Tonight after work my friend and I are getting together to watch more, though. I can't wait! Martinis and Rooftop Prince. I just watch whatever's up on Dramafever, because it's easier for both of us.
:D
Yeah, that's true. I do interact with a lot of people on tumblr, but mostly becauseI know them through LJ.
If you look on my sticky post , I have a link to my tumblr and my twitter there. :D
