See if God is really first for you. So while studying I tend to take tiny breaks and watch a few videos it was then that I stumbled upon one of their videos and one thing lead to another and for some reason I was glued to it… their run episodes , their crack videos ,their American interviews ,their vines…etc.. I watch a lot of youtube videos and listen to their music while doing homework, but have never been so obsessive as to write fanfic or rewatch things over and over. I didn’t go at the end, I realized, I’ve been putting God so far away.. I’m so glad I got over the obsession, I still like them, I won’t lie, but i will start to lessen it more and more! God bless you! I was constantly listening to their songs and regularly surfing their fan forums for the latest details about their lives. We should come to GOD as we are and let him do the changing. 5. However, doing so only brought me great anguish and despair. https://youtube.com/channel/UCJM-q82J_weC_si1FAhmvkw, And this video for what effect music and movies have one people… Reading this article helped as I have been conflicted about whether or not I should even be a fan of BTS. It wasn’t necessarily wrong, but I still felt kind of bad about being “unproductive”. I would appreciate it. Please pray for to reduce my addiction and help me to become a better follower of God. I, like everyone here is very much a avid multifandom kpop fan and was very encouraged by the support of people & how real everyone is in facing the problem that i personally thought only i had. After that, I kind of fell off my curiosity with BTS and continued with my life. God has really worked on me and I’m so grateful to know an awesome God like him and I always pray that God will show himself to BTS and any other kpop idol out there or any famous person for that matter. I found myself spiraling from group to group to group. I used to like KPop a whole lot, but then that died down. I’m hooked on fanfics of Jungkook and Jimin that only makes me hurt more. I feel sad because I’m giving this up when deep down I don’t want to. 4. Next baby steps are too limit my BTS watching (this is dangerous because my day just GOES BY so easily) and slowly reduce it to zero time with BTS. I could not go on for a day without checking my phone for updates on Big Bang. When I go to Senior High School, I decided that this is not the right thing to do, I’ve been lost for so long that I feel so sinful for doing all this thing. I have some background in jazz & modern dance and love the choreography in KPop! By the end of the first episode, both of us were hooked. My name is Yvonne and I used to be obsessed with Kpop and Youtube videos that had curse words/dirty language/horror/etc (even beauty vlogs and anything). No longer like anything? Hello, Franny. This message should be shared to many people so they’ll be able to not over possessed to kpop or any different pop in the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. Amen. Living under these already well-established societal pressures and standards, Korean men are finding it harder and harder to find someone to spend their life with. They are more subtle and their beauty distracts us. Now, I was so crazy with them to the point I placed God under, but he reminded me. Hi, I was desperately looked for a recent comment to this article because I didn’t want to look like a creep and comment on things posted years go haha, but I’m so glad I found your comment because I can 100% relate. That’s what also made me re-realise: BTS are human, just like you and me believe it or not. I also loved the others contribution and sharing their struggles. But when I realized that a lot of young people like K-Pop, this interest of mine turned out to be a great conversation starter and bridge for me to establish rapport, and eventually share the gospel with them. However, contrary to what the commenters say, being a new fan isn't so bad. I’m so addicted to them, and it’s been a while since I’ve been reading fanfictions on YouTube and it has seriously changed my mind and soul. My name is Franny BTW and you can contact me here frannybeng@gmail.com. Call me cheesy, but hey, God wants us to also have the best love life because we are His children :). I don’t know how to go to Heaven. We’d have it in mind . There is nothing outside of Christ that will ever come close to satisfying your soul’s sole desire which is to bask in His glory. How delighting it is to be in His presence, how fulfilling His love is. I admire and respect them as a group for their individuality and music. Thank you so much for sharing. I prayed to God that may He reveal himself to RM, and all of the BTS band to know Christ (for nothing is impossible with God) because a relationship with God is all that matters in the end. Also I think it’s a great idea to start some group. Dime que eres fan del Kpop, sin que me digas que eres fan del Kpop 第 K ᴏ ʀ ᴇ ᴀ ɴ S ʜ ɪ ᴛ ᴘ ᴏ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ ɢ Yesterday at 7:32 PM I think it would be great to share our stories and encourage each other. Hi. This went on for a short period of time, since I was on holiday from school and wanted to occupy my time. I read most of the comments and I think that most of you are just confused. I hope you are doing well now And have a deeper relationship with God but also enjoying your interests , God is good So I would say check in with your heart. -‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:11‬‬, I am in the same situation. 3. I was in too deep in the Korean entertainment world that I didn’t know how to break out of it, and it was one of the reasons that I decided to abandon God because I was guilty of idolatry, lust, perversion, laziness, etc. How obsessive and unhealthy is that???? I seem to break them every time. Its okay to like and to listen kpop music but do not overdue it. When I thought I was a well devoted Christian, I become surprised by how fast I’m able to throw it all away for k-pop. They are called idols, probably by the definition of a person who is greatly admired. If they didn’t graduate with a degree from a major, well established, and reputable university, they’re considered not of a good marriage material. And so when I receive my pay for my work, I really hesitated to save it for Jimin. thats my kakao ID , Hello Myra!
