If you were to ask me in middle school if I was a reader, my response would have been “Of course not.” In high school I stayed away from Korean pop music like the plague, so when the K-pop band BTS was gaining national attention in the summer of 2017, I was confused about why news outlets were talking about “Back to School” in June. Obviously I didn’t read the articles …
I was also never going to watch anime even though I had friends who did and tried their darndest to get me to.
