my fellow friends don't really disappreciate k-pop or kara, just that they naturally have different tastes in music (ranging from classical to hardcore metal), and i'm just the niche that has found love for the k-pop genre, especially since my exposure to kara's wonderful singles ^^;
but yeah, they've dubbed me an addict when i linked them to a karaholic news article, and they're well aware i'm a fanboy and of course, our beloved kara. haha =D
