K-Addict is ‘Korean Drama Addict’ and ‘Korean Movie Addict’ combined into one. She’s someone who is obsessed in learning more about her favorite Korean actors, the Korean culture, and the Korean Language—even politics and tourist spots!!!
A K-addict doesn’t mind what other people would think of her as long as she has the heart to do the thing listed below.
It may refer to me (Kreah ) and it may refer to you, too! ^_^
Show related
She passionately watches Korean Dramas dubbed in their native language, or in cable channels, but will spoil herself by searching available information online like: summaries and reviews.
If she can’t wait for the next day the Drama airs, she’ll watch the episodes in Youtube, download episodes online, or buy DVDs so she can watch it nonstop and be the one to finish first in their neighborhood!
Actors related
Good-looking Korean Stars are big factors why a Drama becomes a favorite for K-addicts. Once that Korean star gets the her attention, she will constantly find information online about that star like his/her birthday, former and current relationships, and news.
A K-addict will also search for pictures and wallpapers, and save it in her computer. She even re-designs these pictures for her own pleasure. :wink:
She will also find what other dramas or movies her favorite actors and actresses starred in, and watch it if she already owns a dvd copy, or a downloaded episode, or avidly watch the dramas in Youtube. Nothing can stop her. :lol:
She is also glued in Youtube, too, watching subtitled interviews, music videos, commercials, bloopers, and concerts.
OST related
Soundtracks play big role for a drama or movie to be a hit. If the official soundtrack of the drama has a good beat, even a K-addict does not understand, this song will attract her to watch the series. The more she hears the song in the series, the more she likes it; especially if the song is played in her favorite parts.
But a K-addict is not contented on just hearing the song being played while watching the series. She will passionately find ways online to have a file of that song. She either buys the album online or downloads it from other sites. Then she’ll save it in her mp3 player, or I-pod so she can listen to it whenever she wants!
And the last thing she’ll do is find its translation and lyrics, and even memorize it!!! :lol:
Her Wishes and Wants
What a K-addict wishes most is to visit South Korea and see her favorite stars live! She wants to take pictures on Korea’s sceneries where her favorite scenes were shoot!!!
If she can’t do that, she’ll pleasure herself by learning Korean culture online and learning the language. She either enrolls in a Korean language course or studies it on her own. Remember she has the passion. Time and effort is nothing for her. If she’s lucky she’ll meet a Korean, and she’ll befriend her so that she’ll have a native teacher!!!
In the back of her mind, she wants to watch dramas and movies without subtitles, someday. :idea:
She will also drop by into a Korean grocery story, if it’s available in their community, to buy Korean products. Never mind the price. :smile:
She will try to know the Korean words/phrases related to love like ‘I love you’, ‘boyfriend’, ‘girlfriend’, and ‘I like you’. Even the simple ‘Thank you’ and ‘Stupid’.
The least thing a K-addict can do, is to get excited on saying Annyonghaseyo, once a Korean is on her way. :smile:
Hey!! What about marrying a Korean guy? and imitating Korean fashion?
Sharing her Passion
Once a K-addict has learned something new, she can’t wait to share it to her fellow addicts. But… but… but… she can even tell these to those who are not interested. Poor girl… she’s really excited to reveal what she just knew. :smile:
A K-addict has a big heart to:
• create a music video of her favorite scenes, and use her favorite soundtrack… upload it in youtube, and tries to get reaction from fellow addicts… whew!!
• visits blogs to check the latest, and comment… comment… and comment…
• write a review, or just randomly share any of her thoughts and post it on her blog or in a forum
• be updated on Korean entertainment news and tries to be the first to spread it to other fellow addicts
• search the hangul lyrics of soundtracks, then she’ll Romanize and translate it herself
• be a moderator in a forum
• design wallpapers of her favorite Korean stars, if she knows of course..
• if she can understand Korean, she subbed it and upload it in youtube
• upload audio and video files so that others can have it, too… :lol:
If you have want and done most of the things listed, you are indeed obsessed in anything about Korean. To all fellow K-addicts hard work to you guys!!! If I missed something…just post it, and I’ll edit this later. ^_^
