SHINee, Big Bang and 2NE1 are still my favorites because they were a big part of my adolescence, but I've been enjoying exploring all the new stuff too! Not just BTS. (I'm also really mad at myself for not listening to more K-R&B sooner but it's absolutely fantastic as well!) Sorry if this topic wasn't to your liking but I appreciate you giving it a watch anyway! ^^

Saying, “you’re Korean, do you listen to BTS?”, is like saying “you’re Italian, are you in the mafia?”

“I watched...” “Don’t say Blood Sweat and Tears.” “The Blood Sweat and Tears music video.” “And she’s gone.”

"ONCe YOU JIMIN YOU CANT JIMOUTT" IM LAUGHING SO HARD RN

Saying “You’re korean, do you listen to bts?” is like the same as saying “You’re french, do you drink tea and eat croissants everyday?”

The hole: “Once you Jimin..... YOU CANT JIMOUT” Emirichu: *screems in denial*

"Once you Jimin... _You can't JIMOUT"_ I'M CRYNG SJSQJS

Not going to lie, seeing the "garbage fanbase" that Emily never wanted to be associated with comment hurts. I've seen firsthand some extremes that some obsessive 'fans' go through and have heard my fair share of stories. It's really disappointing that some bad apples give the whole tree a bad reputation.

i avoided BTS and everything K-Pop for YEARS because the crazy armys scared me off (i know not all armys are crazy, thats why i specified the *crazy* ones) but then i heard The Feels by Twice on TikTok and i started listening to more of their songs, watching compilations of them on youtube, interviews, etc and i became a ONCE, now i’ve started listening to a little bit of Itzy and watching things with them in it and stuff and now i’ve kind of fallen into the K-Pop hole

"Once you jimin, you can't jimout." *le ded*

Their skin care is very simple: they wash their faces with the tears of fangirls.

im sorry, but the the "STAN LOONAAAAAAAA" was the truest shit i have ever layed my eyes on

It's literally so sad that the first thing people see about the Kpop fandom is the toxicity only a minority of the fandom is.

*"I'm still just as indifferent as I was befor-"* *_CAUGHT IN A LIEEEEEE~_*

"Oh, foolish Emi... once you Jimin... YOU CAN'T JIM-OUT!~~" *loud offscreen screeching*

I avoided KPop for YEARS. I hated it, never watching a single thing. Until I stumbled across a video of Blackpink's Du DDu Du DDu, and wanted to learn the dance. I found out who the members were and started listening to them and watching their content, along with other groups like IVE (who had freshly debuted at the time), Itzy, and Gidle. Then during June, I found a girls generation music video, I got a boy. I watched it countless of times then listened to most of their discography (including most of their music videos, content, solos, etc.). Now I started listening to SNSD, SHINee, Big Bang, 2Ne1, Wonder Girls, BTS, and more!

I avoided the color pink and anything remotely “girly” because gamer misogyny plus gender dysphoria. Now I’m a fan of magical girl anime and I’m one of those people who buys every Star Guardian skin in League of Legends. I’m also a lesbian, so I’ve gone from avoiding girly things to pursuing girls. Truly the pipeline.

As soon as she said "I watched the Blood Sweat and Tears MV" I said "OH NO"

« Once you jimIN you can’t jimOUT » I lost it

I got into BTS in 2019. I had purposely ignored them, their fanbase and the kpop genre in general due to the toxic fans and weird fanfics I'd come across. My older sister came into our room one day in april to show me their Boy With Luv performance at the BBMAs, saying that I had to see it. I have since fallen into the kpop black hole and have enjoyed it immensely! I'm glad I had their music to get me through 2019, which had been a really rough year for me and my family, and I can't wait to see what they do with their music next!

i just wanna thank you for creating this amazing video emi, i would've never even thought to get into kpop if you didnt make this. it changed my life for the better

"MY SOUL WAS RIPPED FROM MY BODY WHOOOOOOOOYEEEEEESSSS" girl if that aint a whole MOOD. LOL.

"Once you JimIN you can't JimOUT" I LOST IT THAT PART HAHAH

I saw this video on your channel but never watched as I never got into K-pop, until now! I recently got into ATEEZ and fell down the hole and totally relate with you on everything you said with your experience. My friend got me into their music and insisted I watch the music videos which I did, and then I binged a playlist on Spotify, and then I binge watched all their interviews. Now most of my recent music is ATEEZ and I don't know if/when I'm getting out of it

i loved the way you perfecly executed the perfect horror-struck face tight before the scream. chefs kiss.

"so out of curiosity, I watched... (sigh) the Blood, Sweat, and Tears music video" me: oooh NOOOo hunny there's no going back now

The super creepy “once you jim-in you can’t jim-out” HAD ME ROLLING

The music that might play when you fight sans portion really cracked me up. Thanks for all the frequent content emily

that clip at the end now makes me want to watch... PLEASE DONT DRAG ME INTO THE HOLE I'M IN ENOUGH FANDOMS

Emi: “Do not watch any of the music videos” Emi: *proceeds to show clips from K-pop Music Videos*

"Once you JimIN you can't JimOUT" im ded.

Thank you so much Emily for this video ❤ I fell out of loving K-pop for the absolute chaos of fans. I would also love to get back into loving K-pop again.

I am SO with you on the videos. I was lost the first time I watched the video for Dala Dala, and... I haven't been able to come back. Like the sign says: no one comes out. As for the end question... Eragon. The book was really popular when I was in 5th grade, and I refused to read it simply because it was popular. I waited until I was in high school to finally read it, and... god, I missed out on getting to share my excitement with others. I was lucky that I wasn't waiting years between the releases, though!

"I watched the Blood Sweat and Tears music video" Me: OH DEAR, THAT'S A BIG MISTAKE

“YOU CAN’T “JIM OUT!!” I’m literally laughing really hard in that part oh my god-

There is always this one music vid (for me it was blood,sweat & tears ) that catches your eyes & then you're compelled to binge-consume a whole big chunk of K-pop, introduced this whole new world & then you know there's no going back now haha

and this is me back at the kpop hole video. the first time i watched both of emily’s hole videos i hadn’t fallen into them yet. and it’s come full circle, i’ve been in both now. (love it here btw 🫶)

“OMG MOCHI? aRE YOU AN ARMY?” is like “OMG YOU LIKE PASTA? ARe YOU ITALIAN?”

“ one you JIMIN, you never JIMOUT” I WAS WAITING FOR THIS 😤

I forgot how GORGEOUS you are Irl!!!

Watching this video before and after falling into the hole is a Goddamn trip

Emirichu: " If your trying to avoid K-Pop don't watch the music videos" Also Emirichu: - shows music videos -

"I watched blood sweat and tears" Oh geez, your not coming out of the fandom.

First time watching your video and I love it❤️ everyone has their own preferences and we shouldn't judge it

certain shows and movies, once i get hooked on a show i think nothing else will be as good and even if im bored of the show, i still watch it

Emirichu: if you are trying to avoid K-POP, don’t look at the music vids Also Emirichu: showing K-POP on the screen Me: what have you done

I’m not army or anything but I remember when BTS were little babies who idolized BigBang and now they’ve taken the world over I’m so proud of them honestly that’s so amazing

Paused the video as I was going to ask you about “2NE1” (my college jam, as well as Big Bang, etc) and saw you mentioned them already…yeee!😆

Okay I have made it a point to rewatch this video every few months as I fall deeper into the kpop hole... This last go around was the first time I knew who Taemin was.... He is my ult bias and I'm mad at myself for not having found him sooner. BUT THE SECOND YOU SHOWED HIM FROM THE LUCIFER ERA AND SAID YOU WERE IN 9TH GRADE- LIKE BRO YOU JUST CALLED ME OUT SO PERSONALLY- ...go kpop and go Emirichu

**Twitter toxic stan posts flash backs**

How I got to the KPop Hole: Me: All I wanted to know was their names

revisiting this video now that I've been dragged into the k-pop hole it was over at fake love

lol the end😂 Anyways this was great and funny ❤❤

*she's been consumed. there is no going back.*

Pewdiepie at the end: *"I LiEk MeN nOw"*

this was pretty enjoyable and relatable as to what happened to me lol

something I actively avoided, but loved when I tried it?......Your channel. Like seriously I watched so many animation youtubers and your channel was all over my 4you page, but I avoided it because I listened to the tsundere song YEARS ago and didn't enjoy it, so from your thumbnails I thought your content was similar. A week ago I ginally gave in and wah, i've barely watched anything else since. Especially the childhood crushes or drawing videos on Connors channel (whom I've been following for ages) were soooo funny and entertaining! I also noticed that I have to catch up on a looot of shoujo anime so I binged Fruits Basket and I have no regrets (best boy is Haru). Anyways I'm so glad I gave your channel a chance!!💕

Emirichu: *exists* Autoplay: I'm about to end this woman's whole career.

“Once you jimin , YOU CANT JIM OUT “ 😭

The fun fact is my ex did actually got me to try to listen to BTS once and I did watch the music video but… looks like I’m immune, and I guess I can thank Linkin Park, Skillet and Slipknot for the most part (also, the kind of guy actually needs to know the lyrics to really vibe with the music so not understanding Korean kinda helped. And for context, I’m Brazilian and wanting to vibe more with music was one of the main reasons I went to learn english on my own). But I guess the fanbase thing is really a problem of many kinds, and it seems that I am about to almost experience the same thing again since I just watched the Breaking Bad show. So yeah, at the end of the day, don’t go around to push your stuff into people and don’t hate on people for liking this stuff.

I watched this video for the first time like two years ago when I first discovered your channel and I had no idea what kpop even was. In October of 2021 Netflix recommended me Blackpink's documentary and I ended up watching it like five times and becoming a fan. Fast forward to last month, I watched the Dynamite MV and fell for BTS real fast (I also had the same experience with Blood, Sweat and Tears lol). This video is so accurate, the kpop hole is truly dangerous.

emily: "basically, if a dude looks like he could successfully catfish someone just by wearing a wig, i'm all for it" me: flashbacks to run bts ep 11

“don’t watch any of the music videos” *shows us snippets of the music videos*

As soon as you said ‘once you Jim-in you can’t Jim-out’ had me laughing on the floor 😂😂

Emily: **gets into K-pop** Emily’s shoulder angel: YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!

your scream killed me omfg

IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE SAID “Out of curiosity, I watched *pause* The Blood, Sweat, & Tears music video, I’M LIKE, THIS GIRL’S DEAD!!! SHES GONE! SHES IN THE FANDOM ALREADY LMAOO

I love how on the outro you made like a twinkle bboom bboom

i never thought i'd like the drama whats wrong with secretary kim recommended by my bestfriend but sooner or later i got reel recomendations of it and thought to give it a try and man do i love that drama now

_the scene with the mochi_ me: Yep this accurate random guy: *STAN LOONAAAAAA* me: *wheezing*

video games, just in general. now i'm a huge zelda, sonic, pokemon and minecraft fan. not as much on the last 2 but they're still fun to play -w-

when u started playing fake love i just full out started dancing!! lol, but I was in online class so it was me just randomly dancing lol luckily no one saw

"I watched the Blood sweat and tears music video" Oh Yeah you were screwed

THE PERSON WHO FLEW ACROSS THE SCREEN SCREECHING STAN LOONA IS A M O O D

the exact same situation happened to me haha!! i was also back then not into kpop and ignored it because i didnt want to be in those weird fandoms too, nor was i really into music. but once i discovered this girl group it really caught my attention and i began to like kpop more and more. to the point i even bought albums hahhaha!!

the question at the end: a show not telling what it specifically is but holy heck i am obsessed with it now

Lmao, you dying about jimin’s shoulder flip part IS A WHOLE MOODDD

There’s a saying: *”Once you JimIN, you cant jimOUT”*

i've been really avoiding FNaF for a very long time, i saw the first 4 games a long time ago and i was terrified, but now, some years later, i decided to revisit fnaf since it's been so long, and it was really cool, the gameplay is unique, it's still terrifying, but in the good way, and then i checked the lore, which was really interesting, and, welp, that's my story.

When I first watched this and you sed “every fandom has its Bach of bad apples” it reminded me of the time when I got on the PVZ (plants versus zombies)fandom and I saw everybody complaining about this one guy who was ranting about something related to I think character development and design

Emirichu is a tsundere for music 😂

"The blood sweat and tears music video" me- Oh she's already doomed

Her reaction to the song playing randomly just... *What in the wooorld*

Omg it was blood sweat and tears for me too, my first watch and I was gone

"Oh you're korean do you listen to BTS?" Me:"oh you're russian? Do you serve the solvet union???"

I died when that guy said _once you Jimin, YOU CANT_ *J I M O U T*

i just thought of something it was doctor who specifically after David Tennent left the show I just stopped watching it when matt smith came to the scene and I watched 1 episode and I absolutely fell in love with his take on the doctor and after he left I cried so hard for like an hour watch mojo said it best "when he came to the scene there were many naysayers when his time came to an end those same cynics were sobbing"

Tabbes was just like: "Welcome to The hole"

"My soul was ripped from my body" yeah jimin does that

"Already giving in after one song? So weak willed." i fEeL aTtAcKeD

I would always see eddsworld in my recommendation but I just ignored it but when the tord mod for Fnf came out I immediately started to watch eddsworld and I enjoyed it (the same for the spooky month cartoons)

DDU-DDU-DDU-DU was what made me fall in love with K-Pop 😂😂

There's ALWAYS room for 1 more

KZfaq Autoplay did an oopsie

Her replying to the comment was hilarious😂

The fan girl behavior my mum has told me about, when canto pop was popular she told me that there would be people who find where their idol was and try to find them

Emirichu: "Basically, if a dude looks like he could successfully catfish someone just by wearing a wig, I'm all for it." Me: NO ONE SHOW HER HWARANG TAE OR MIN YOONJI

The fact that you ended the video with Pewds reacting to BTS melted the cheese in my croissant

For me it was anime I don’t really know why I didn’t like it but now I love it and it inspired me to learn how to draw (I’m still bad though) and animators like you and Jaiden Animations inspired me to learn how to animate (when I finish learning how to draw) so thank you for this inspiration 😊

I thought I wouldn’t like trollhunters but one I saw the first episode I was HOOKED. I could not stop watching it.
