![]() ![]() Even my being a fan of Harry Potter probably came as a surprise to some people at first, as if they couldn't comprehend the idea of me being "a fan" of anything that wasn't in a school textbook.įrances Janvier wants to pursue a degree in English Literature at Cambridge, not because she's passionate about or even properly interested in it, but because that's what she thinks is expected of her. ![]() I liked the music, I liked watching the variety shows, and even though I wasn't fully aware of it then, I was getting girl-crushes all over the place. ![]() From 15, I was very invested in whatever fandoms caught my eye, be it Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Disney, or, yes, Kpop. When I mentioned it to one of my then-classmates, what he said after getting over the shock of that revelation was, "You're one of the last people I would expect to be into Kpop." I guess my showing the slightest interest in pretty boys (and girls) dancing in sync or playing musical instruments, with elaborate sets and high-budget music videos, just didn't fit the image of the uninteresting study machine whose only future was a good university. Just like Frances, I also had something I loved a lot, which didn't fit the impression that most of my schoolmates had of me, because it seemed so incongruous: I was into Kpop. ![]()
