Are you also curious about fellow K-Pop fans?! Let’s hear their stories and interests in Kpopmap Fan Interview Project.
There are K-Pop fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other’s stories and K-Pop life. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other.
So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Pop fans from different countries: more about their K-Pop life and tastes and to give them the opportunity to share with our readers about their favorite group(s) and bias.
Ilyas from Turkey is the next fan to answer our questions. He is a fan of BLANK2Y, particularly of SiWoo! Check out how he entered the fandom, the songs and content he advises to new fans, and much more!
Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from?
Hi! I’m Ilyas from Tรผrkiye! I’m a fanboy of BLANK2Y!
How and when did you enter the fandom?
While scrolling through social media in late 2021, I saw that KEYSTONE Entertainment was going to release a group. Then, the cover videos of the members were released. I was so impressed, seeing the members’ talents and thought I should definitely join this group’s fandom.
What are the reasons why you love your favorite group?
Honestly, they’re pretty talented and I like it a lot. It’s nice that they keep in touch with their fans often on Twitter. It’s also nice that they show love to their fans.
Who caught your attention at first and why?
Park SiWoo. Actually, all the members caught my attention at first but I was very surprised by SiWoo’s rap. He’s really talented at rapping.
Who is your bias, and why?
I’m not sure, but I’ll say Park SiWoo. He’s really talented, I especially like his rapping.
Can you recommend a title track and a B-side track for new fans?
Definitely everyone should listen to ‘Thumbs Up’.
I recommend ‘I Wish’ as a B-side because it’s pretty touching.
Can you recommend a fancam, V Live, cover video, cover dance, or individual content video of your bias to our readers?
He has so many videos I can recommend but I really like SiWoo’s Simply K-Pop ‘Thumps Up’ fancam.
I also want to recommend the video where SiWoo is promoted as the 4th member of BLANK2Y.
Can you also do the same type of recommendation for the group?
I definitely recommend everyone to watch BLANK2Y’s reality show “BLANK2Y’S”.
Can you share with us one of your favorite lyrics?
“I wish on a star
Among the scattering meteors hug me who’s falling
So you don’t lose this dream.”
– ‘I Wish’
