章 1: 1.IT'S NEVER TOO LATE..

As said "you're never too young to dream"I carried dreams in my mind , some ambitions , some dreams I had to wished to fulfill..before starting to tell my unimaginable journey which every kpop listener would relate to I would like to introduce myself first so as to not be called rude , I am Park soo-min a Korean American , a person who has been living her dream, a kpop dream..since I was a 11yrs old I had been off to a journey I never thought I would persue as a career. I had been born in America but kept travelling all around the world , my parents were Koreans . I think most people interested in korea might be knowing what "descendants of the sun" is!I loved it . it was the beginning of who I am today..I went on listening to kpop music , and lot of Korean stuff. I had personally never gone to Korea but my roots belonged there . First thing I would like to say frankly is I was a huge fan of" BTS " and "blackpink ". I was inspired by them a lot . I was so into kpop that I even learnt kpop dance choreographies , vocals , and I even forced my parents to making me learn Korean ..Then came the evolution in kpop "gen Z " pop and I loved the fact that they had all the members from different countries..This gave me a hope , a hope that every aspiring kpop star would take as a blessing. A blessing that could help me be who I wanted to be..I went on listening to more and more kpop , damn a lot . YouTube and karoke apps were my life saver , I was so desperate about it . I would sing kpop songs through the time in the bathroom and I would see how a kpop stars life is , and the truth to be told at 12 I went on idol diets and trained by myself. Soon I realised ,why was i doing it? Was it just because I wanted to meet BTS ? Was it just because I loved it ? Was I just a normal kpop obsessed person? I don't know why I tried to imitate hardest of kpop choreographies and the best of vocals and ballads ? My heart skipped a beat , because the answer was I was not a normal kpop obsessed person who was on a strict diet she didn't know why or she was something more . My heart knew by now I wanted to be a kpop idol , a famous one ..But every success story comes packed with a lot of failures, twists and struggles..
