A LUMINI From The US Talks About Her Favorite Group LUMINOUS & Her Biases Suil & WooBin

Are you also curious about fellow K-Pop fans?! Let's hear their stories and interests in Kpopmap Fan Interview Project.

There are K-Pop fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other's stories and K-Pop life. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other.

So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Pop fans from different countries: more about their K-Pop life and tastes and to give them the opportunity to share with our readers about their favorite group(s) and bias.

Amy from the US is the next fan to answer our questions. She is a fan of LUMINOUS and more particularly of Suil & WooBin! Check out how she entered the fandom, the songs and content she advises to new fans, and much more!

Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from?

Hi! I am Amy from the USA!

How and when did you enter the fandom?

I joined the LUMINI fandom (LUMINOUS) when they were still pre-debut. I watched one of their covers and instantly fell in love! I got into them June 4, 2020.

What are the reasons why you love your favorite group?

I love LUMINOUS because of their energy and personality together. They always make me laugh and whenever I’m sad, I get to watch their videos or V Lives and suddenly I am happy. They ultimately mean the world to me. I also love their music. Their music discography is literally amazing. I honestly think people are missing out on LUMINOUS! They are so talented and work so hard on their music and you can feel it when you listen to it.

Who caught your attention at first and why?

The first member that caught my attention was Suil! He was really cute in the first video I watched and he was super funny. I love seeing him interact with the other members and I just ultimately fell in love.

Who is your bias, and why?

I have two biases! Suil and WooBin! They've been my everything for a while. After meeting them through online fansigns, they both solidified my love for them. I love watching them perform and I love how funny they both are.

Can you recommend a title track and a B-side track for new fans?

A good title track for new fans would be 'Engine'! It’s such a goodfeel song! I love the happy time this music has and it’s a great way to fall in deeper with their songs.

A B-side I recommend is 'Far'! It’s from their newest album! It’s beautifully made and I always cry to it. It has a such soft tone that makes you want to listen to it over and over.

Can you recommend a fancam, V Live, cover video, cover dance, or individual content video of your bias to our readers?

I recommend looking into the "Cover by LUMINOUS" Playlist. My favorite cover from WooBin is:

Can you also do the same type of recommendation for the group?

I love this group cover the most!

Can you share with us one of your favorite lyrics?

My favorite lyric has to be from 'Far':
"All your pain starts to fade
In my shade, take a rest
This part means so much to me. It feels like i’m at home with them always."

What is your best souvenir with your favorite group until now?

The best souvenir that isn’t physical is that my bias Suil shared my sticker next to his diamond painting in a post on Twitter! It really meant a lot to me to see him have that in his room :] It made me proud to be an artist for them!

If you are collecting goods, what is your most precious treasure?

I don’t have one singular precious treasure so I will show my small collection! I am so proud of having these many special moments with them and having something to remember them by. I hope all LUMINIs have the chance to have a moment with them.

If you have a chance to cook for the group, what will you cook for them?

I would personally cook them a Dominican dish! I love to make them Yaniqueques and a dessert called Habichuelas Con Dulce!

Do you have a dream subunit/unit?

I would personally love to see YoungBin do a song with JaeHan of OMEGA X!

What is your favourite way of communicating with your bias?

I love communicating with LUMINOUS on Bubble and fancafe! I love sending them messages through there~~.

Have you ever made a new friend because of K-Pop?

I made amazing friends because of this group and K-Pop especially. I want to give shout out to my best friends who I made on twitter and to all the LUMINIs around the world!
They made me strong and feel less alone during all these years.
LUMINOUS especially made me find the people I care for the most. I hope I get to meet them all in a LUMINOUS world tour ^^.

What is your favorite group/bias' influence on your daily life?

They brought me so much happiness. Everytime I feel sad, I know they will always have my back. They pushed me so much to continue my career in education. They been one of my supporters. I appreciate them so much for that.
