[instiz] THIS IS HONESTLY THE TRUTH

July 21, 2026

“I keep saying this, but once you’re a fangirl, you can never truly stop being one.

People think that if they quit stanning their favorite idol, they’ll magically become an “average person.” But that’s not what happens.

You’re not an average person, you’re just a mental widow, living with an empty heart until a new oppa comes along.

At that point, you’re already the kind of person who simply can’t go through life without obsessing over someone.”

1. This obsession applies even if it’s not a person; I got really into fountain pens during a brief hiatus from fangirling

2. For real, I went from K-pop to sports to coming back to K-pop ㅋㅋ

3. And there’s no certainty that leaving K-pop will be a forever thing. You can leave K-pop for years, then suddenly find yourself back into it

4. For real, you’ll just end up fangirling on something or someone else. The fangirling heart will never leave you

5. Fangirling is life~~

6. Anything can be an object of fangirling. It doesn’t need to be K-pop. After I liked K-pop, I got into this mushroom character called Nameko

7. For real, I left K-pop and now I’m fangirling over sports

8. The way this isn’t a screenshot but a photo of a phone ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. For real, after I left K-pop, I tried stanning other genres, but I couldn’t do it

10. Me too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I went from idol > actor > soccer player ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
