My nickname's Miw, and I'm 14 years old. I would like to tell you about ting. Ting is a word that is used to describe Thai supporters of K-pop. I've been ting since 2009 when Wonder Girls released the hit song "Nobody." The first boy band that I liked was SHINee. They're really cute, so I love them. The SHINee fan club has more than 30,000 members in Thailand.
My parents don't like K-pop. They think that I should spend all my time studying.

There's nothing wrong with you enjoying K-pop, Miw. As you well know, there are thousands of people around the kingdom who like it. You should feel free to enjoy what you enjoy. But remember not to let your fandom get out of hand. Find a good, healthy balance between your interests and what you need to accomplish in school. Keep things in perspective, but don't feel guilty about having a little fun once in a while. — Editor
