EXO Shows Up TWICE, SNSD TWICE, and One TXT Fan Is Still Going Eight Years In

EXO got two of the first fifteen replies, SNSD got two more, and a TXT fan says they are still going after eight years. That is the short version of an instiz thread asking users which idol group they stanned first.

The original poster set the tone with a one-word answer: Bangtan, the Korean nickname for BTS. From there the replies read like a map of K-pop generations, from SNSD and BIGBANG to Wanna One and TXT.

The loyalty talk is the real story. Several users did not just name a first group. They said it was also their last. Others admitted the first love faded, and one commenter drew a clear line between the group that introduced them to idols and the one that made them an actual fan.

No agency is involved here and nothing is being announced. It is a nostalgia thread, and it works because the answers are so uneven: second-generation names sit next to a group that debuted much later, and nobody argues about it.
