For Those Of You That Are Not Korean, How Do Your Parents React When They Find Out You Listen To Kor

[Guest ohhreallynow]

my mother is addicted to k-drama, she loved bae young joong (spelling) and winter sonata, she doesn't really care

[Guest fionahh]

they don't really care haha. as for the dramas and etc. they watch whatever is good. taiwanese , korean, cantonese whatever lol

[Guest Ninja1]

WHoahhh most of ur family seems so understanding !! My brother criticize me so much about having an interest in K entertainment!! My mom always have an oppinon when I say I wanna learn Japanese and Korean ..

[Guest illumine*]

they don't really care now.

my dad would always tease me about everything korean when i got addicted to their pop culture. but now, he even watches kdramas with my mom and i. =_=

the rest of my relatives think it's good of me to learn about a different culture. one of my aunts actually supports me and teaches me korean 'cause she lived in korea for awhile (she was stationed there for quite some time).

[[msaimee]]

at first when i just got into kpop my dad had a huge problem with it. He's always mimicking the songs and lecturing me to turn down the music and stuff like that. My mom never minded. The older i got the more i got into Korean music, drama and movies. So one day i decided to watch 'Stairways to Heaven" and well...my dad got really into that drama and yea. Now my parents don't mind me listening to korean/japanese/chinese music. My mom even has a crush on Kim Dongwan fom Shinhwa.

[Guest eniarrol]

Lol.. It's always funny (yet sometimes irritating) to have our parents tease us about being into kpop culture.

[Guest truestar]

my parents don't care...sometimes my mom and my sister will watch it with me

in terms of korean music, sometimes they ask me why i listen to it when i don't understand what they're saying but it doesn't matter to me because it sounds good and plus i can always get the translations

|[♥In my heart, in my soul。。。♪//]|

My parents prefer me not to get too obsessed with Korean stuff.

Actually...they keep questioning me what's so good about it.

[Guest 2partsvodka]

heck my parents watch the dramas with me too.

haha..they just enjoy the entertainment.

[beckii]

my parents dont care....and if anything, my mums abt 10 billion times more obsessed with korean dramas than i am!!! not to mention i got her into dong bang shin ki...=]=]

[Guest clovermoi]

my parents were like.. "LOL tina is turning korean." except they didn't say LOL, but they laughed at me HAHA. but they also like watching asian dramas in general, whether it is korean, japanese, chinese, or taiwanese.

but if i let my obsession hurt my grades.. then there will be some consequences

[Guest lucifer]

they dont care n sometimes my mom watch dramas with me ^^

[Guest supertammie]

D: "Why don't you listen to more Vietnamese music?"

i relate! i relate!

i reply: "I'll start when we write our own songs."

[Guest 정유미]

my mom watches kdramas and kmovies, too, so she's pretty fine with that. but with kpop, she gets really annoyed when i listen to songs i don't understand. however, at times i find her singing along to dbsg's insa... "fly away, fly away love~"

[crazyANDdelusional]

My mom's cool with it. She even asks me what I'm watching and if it's good. With the Korean music, she thought it was Filipino...

[Guest mr. lovely]

They quietly whisper to each other, "Han guo? Xiao ye ben qu na li?" *sorry about the pinyin, I suck at Chinese* But basically, they're wondering where my Japanese music went to o__o

And when I listen to Jay Chou, I get wider stares 8D

[Guest juki_love]

er.. should they mind...?

haha i dunno coz they dont~ and occasionally they watch dramas too~!

[Guest o_selina_o]

my parents dont care, they watch korean/japanese dramas themselves but they always ask me "do you even understand korean/japanese???" XD my parents know i love korean/japanese things hehe <3 DBSK woot!

[Guest cocobar]

At first, they started asking me why i would listen to something that i dont understand.

But they dont mind though.

[Guest tramy]
