    1. I think one of the main reasons I enjoy k-pop music is because I don’t know korean, so the vocals are just another instrument
    2. Groups where there isn't a huge popularity disparity between members?
    3. Has a Kpop release ever made you completely switch up your opinion on an idol/group? (positively OR negatively)
