i’m here to help out remotely with the website, social media, and any graphic design aspects. I have been into k-pop since 2016 with bts being my introduction to k-pop group culture.
As a multi-stan it is hard for me to say who my favorite group or artist is, but my top three for sure are ATEEZ, TXT, and AleXa 🤭
i’m currently studying fashion & textile management which has led me to start an instagram dedicated to helping k-pop fans with concert/cover dance outfit inspo.
