We're all diehard fans of our favorite K-pop group. But how did we get here? Through these 13 stages of course!�

Stage 1: A new artist/group is announced.

And you can't help but excitedly check them out.�

STAGE 2: Someone catches your eye in particular.�

(Oooh who's that?)

In all of the posters, teasers, and announcements, you can't help but notice one member with all of his/her glorious charisma and charm.�

STAGE 3: YOU COUNT DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL THEIR DEBUT...

(Omg how long do I have to wait for.)

The endless wait is real.�

Stage 4: Finally! their new song is released.�

(And you can't help dancing along.)

This song now gives you life.�

STAGE 5: Not to mention that the music video is ridiculously addicting.�

(Can't stop watching this glorious thing.)

Meanwhile your friends and family are tired of you showing it to them for the twentieth time now.�

(Their reaction every time.)�

STAGE 6: Commence listening to nothing but the song for the next week.�

(or two weeks.)

At this point, your peers are ready to rip their ears out of their heads since it's all that you play around them.�

STAGE 7: Remember that member you couldn't help but notice? BAM. New bias. �

And you're not even mad about it.�

STAGE 8: But then you look at the other members and realize that you can't decide on a bias after all.�

(WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS GROUP SO BEAUTIFUL)

STAGE 9: You buy all the things related to them.�

Albums. Mouse pads. Posters. Socks with their faces on them.�RIP wallet.�

STAGE 10: And new concert announcements leave you curled up on the floor sobbing. ��

(WHY DON'T I LIVE IN KOREA)

You can't fly all the way there to support your babies.

STAGE 11: You can't help but look up literally everything about them.�

("I am Fan #1.")

Through some hardcore Internet stalking, you memorize their birthdays, favorite foods, their weird quirks and talents... and the future qualities they want in a spouse.

Stage 12: And anyone who dares to insult them just has a death wish.�

They'll think twice before they decide to utter such blasphemy again.

STAGE 13: You're ridiculously proud about their first award�

Them:�

You:�

You can't help but cry when they cry on stage.�

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY A DIEHARD FAN!!

Now go forth and spread your fandom love everywhere.�
