FAN CREDENTIALS: "I wrote fan letter to B.A.P back in 2012," Escobar said. "They had no response for me, but that's alright. My love for B.A.P is unconditional and I wasn't expecting a response. I know that someday they will know who I am and notice me as one of their biggest fans."

INTRO TO K-POP: Escobar first got into Hallyu culture after seeing the music video for the Girls' Generation single "The Boys," released in 2011. "Girls' Generation are the reason why I become a K-pop fan," Escobar said. "When I first watched the video for 'The Boys,' it caught my attention and so I decided to see what K-pop really was all about."

THE DIFFERENCE: "K-pop, for me, has a powerful charisma and the performers have a unique style in the way they entertain their fans," Escobar said. "Once you enter the K-pop world, you will never get out of it. K-pop will be a part of your life forever."

FAVORITE GROUP: B.A.P

WHY B.A.P: "They are the ones who captured my heart," Escobar said. "They have their own strategy on how to gather more fans with hard work and perseverance and how to show what they can do without hesitation. We fans really appreciate that. Though they only debuted two years ago, they need the most attention because they are doing their best. This group will surely melt your heart."

FAVORITE B.A.P SONG: "Crash"

FAVORITE SOLO ARTIST: IU

WHY IU: "She's nice and adorable," Escobar said. "IU has an angelic voice and a cute personality. I like the way that every time she performs she has self-confidence but is also very humble.

FAVORITE IU SONG: "Good Day"

TIPS FOR OTHER FANS: "If you are a K-pop fan, certainly don't be ashamed of it, be proud of who you are! Even though you have to make a lot of sacrifices, just keep on pushing on with what you are doing. Because something like being a K-pop fan is only going to happen once in a lifetime."
