Hey guys!!
this is preetyCHAN and i am the only a die hard fan of k-drama and k-pop ( a few c-drama and anime also ) in my family which is really troublesome cause i being irritated by my sister as she intentionally tries to make fun of songs and actors too which really makes me annoyed and on top of that she kind of announces that i am a fan everywhere we go ( specially relatives ) , which is worse

Omg guys me too! My mom always makes jokes about Asian movies. She always says that there are only one type of Chinese - Jackie Chan and others looks ridiculus and donāt be a real Chinese cuz they for example are higher or have moustaches (looool). When I watch Kdrama, she always says that there are only one actress (everyone looks the same for her) 
Guys we must be strong!

The way I see it, thereās absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed about it. Just embrace the fact that you like Kdrama and Kpop and anime. Tell it to the whole world. Once they see youāre fine with it, theyāll leave you alone. Trust me on this one.

Exactly, and maybe years down the road, some of them will start watching anime and Kdramas (happened to me, had to wait more than 8 years 
)

I can relateā¦ Iām the only one at home who listens to kpop and watches dramas. I used to hide it but now Iām proud because thatās make me more interested in another culture and I learn new things everyday.
When I listen to something in korean my parents start making weird sounds pretending to imitate them, which I find funny if they donāt do take it too far and when a random Asian appears on TV they scream āhey! come! your friendās hereā or "what is he/she saying? "(and I am likeā¦ I wish to know that too). Sometimes it bothers me, especially when I have to hear things like āthey all look the same anywayā, āthis isnāt musicā or āare you sure this is a guy?ā. But in the end I donāt really care.

Next time they say that, ask them for airfare and a living allowance so you can find your future spouse. Except you have to do it with a pleading expression.

I used to be the only kpop/kdrama fan in my entire family except my cousin. Now nearly everyone being a fan in secret. My little brother making fun of me to this day (i think he is a sana biased once but still). My mom become a better uaena than me & a kdrama fan. My dad is the same (he always respects talent tho). My aunts&uncles are enjoying kpop (being litteral fans) now.
SO donāt give up guys. Donāt be ashamed because you are a fan. I donāt think itās a crime or something. I donāt think they can judge sb for their likes or dislikes. And your sisterās behaviour is so childish, i hope sheāll acknowledge having fun of sb just because sb loves something or someone is wrong.
Lastly, i really hate the āthey are all asians/same/chinese/japaneseā thing. As an asian i hear these things since the day i born ig. That can be because of my slanted eyes, however that doesnāt give you right to say any of these things. I mean itās not really a big deal for me since i used to, but when Covid-19 first spread, I was upset that people were trying to stay away from me just because of my eyes or joking about it. lol i wrote a lot. Anyways being an only fan for years made me do that hahaha. GO TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU LOVE KPOP. Have a nice day <3

So far IĀ“am the only one in my environment that watches K-dramas (as well as some other Asian dramas). Sometimes it is difficult to share your Asian drama love with your friends or family because they canĀ“t understand it but that is fine with me (I still love watching them)

eee I really hate that kind of thinking! Such ignorance!
It didnāt help that we had an a$$h0L3 in chief spreading Covid fears about China. Then the fringe-stupid Americans go and attack any Asian person they see because of what their āfearless leaderā said.
Makes you just want to drop kick those guys!

Well, I am the default genealogist and probably the last one on my branch anywayā¦ It was oral history that we passed down and no one is around to sit and listen any longer.
My momās first cousin on her dadās side got interested in genealogy the last couple of years. His mom really knew that side but she passed a few years ago.
Oh, And I think I am the only one who watches Kdramas, but if I still lived with/near my sisters, Iād have them all watching too.
