excuse me while I look back at how I became a carat (future me this is for you)
I'm not new to kpop. I'm a 2nd gen fan (suju, snsd, bigbang, 2ne1, can't fit all their names in here). But I've only recently been a fan of SVT.
i've heard about SVT before, way back in college but i never paid attention because at that time i stopped listening to kpop. the only kpop groups i recognized were EXO and Black Pink
my last year in college (2018) we had to a do a lyrical dance. We chose a slow rap song but since none of us are good choreographers, one of my friends decided we can copy some moves from kpop dances since it's just an org dance and only a few will watch
they chose to copy the first part of DWC and the woozi solo part. And I've watched the DWC dance practice video multiple times without even knowing the name of the artist. I would just gush about how amazingly synchronized all of them are and how incredibly unique their choreo is
and I know I'm stupid for not even trying to look up the artist but I guess I just had a lot of things worrying about at that time. Anyways, that was my first encounter with SVT. That's why DWC will always hold a special place in my heart uwu
flash forward to after I graduated. I had several months off before i had to review for my licensure exam. I spent those months rekindling my love for kpop and of course I started with suju. That's how I learned about Jun, the guy who looks a lot like my ult bias, heechul 🤣
Even then, I NEVER LOOKED UP WHAT GROUP HE'S FROM. I'M SO STUPID. And then when I actually reviewed for my exam, my roommate turned out to be a monbebe and a bit of a carat.
And i even asked her thr forbidden question, "why are they called seventeen? Are there 17 members?" i'm so sorry 😭
still, i didn't become a carat then. That was the love shot and tempo era so I started stanning EXO lol. I still love them, no doubt Vocal Kings 💯
and then I started working for my first job ever. And one of my workmates is a huge multi fandom member. I think she knows all groups and songs, it's insane. I could never 🤣
She would always play kpop songs and I particularly got attached to DWC. Which at that time I had forgotten 😭 i forgot it was the song we copied the choreo for our dance from. I would always tell her that it sounds familiar but i can't really remember why 😭
this thread has gone on for too long and I don't think I've made my point yet LOL. So, let's get to it.
jan 17, 2020. I was casually browsing through youtube when I came across this video with minghao on the thumbnail. It was a fan edit of their knowing bros episode. I forgot who uploaded it but I'd like to thank him/her ❤️
