Kpopmap Fan Interview: A Filipino ENGENE Talks About Her Favorite Group ENHYPEN & Her Bias Jake

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.

 

An ENGENE from the Philippines is the next fan to answer our questions. She is a fan of ENHYPEN and more particularly of Jake! Check out how she entered the fandom, the songs and content she advises to new fans, and much more!

 

Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from?

If you could write a book about your bias, what would the first and last lines be?

First line: “came unexpectedly and gave happiness”.
Last line: “I know you don’t know me but remember I love you”.

 

Have you ever made a new friend because of K-Pop?

Yes I have friends because of K-Pop.

 

 

Do you feel there are any misunderstandings, things that are not well known, or any prejudices about your favorite group from other fans (non-fans)?

When people judge them without any reason.

 

You can also add a message/letter to your bias or show it on a message scrapbook.

I want to tell the ENHYPEN members not to worry because ENGENEs are always here to support them. Through hard times and good times, we connect together.

Thank you for answering our questions, ENGENE.
