A Malaysian THE B Talks About Her Favorite Group THE BOYZ And Her Bias Kevin

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’ 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.

 

Arissa is the next fan to answer our questions. She is from Malaysia and is a fan of THE BOYZ, and particularly of Kevin! Check out how she entered the fandom, the songs and content she advises to new fans, and much more!
