I'll be honest. My first Kpop was TVXQ, but heard them by Tohoshinki. They got me into K-pop so started listening to others like SHINee and 2PM. However, when I got to know some of the fans... I got instantly annoyed and lost interests. :/ I still listen to them, but I don't go crazy like a lot of fans do... It's best to just avoid it and enjoy what you love.
I don't listen to a lot Jpop and same with Kpop now. I listen to underrated artists/bands/indies/R&B and those are my likes. I even met people here with the same interests and became friends. I'm sick of the Jpop vs. Kpop thing too. So just enjoy what you love and avoid the trend. It works for me.
