Anne (OOBI)
Howdy! My name’s Anne (represented by Oobi), and I’m the Chief Communications Officer here at LightUpK!
You’ll often find me at our Toronto store or on our social media (@lightupkshop). I joined LightUpK because I want to be part of a team that helps bring the k-pop community together all the while making album/merch buying a breeze! It’s also a bonus that I love k-pop too, of course.
Although I liked a few songs in 2013/2014 (shoutout to SHINEE, BIGBANG, and PSY), I really began to immerse myself in the k-pop scene in early 2018. I saw an American Sign Language (ASL) cover of “Mic Drop” by BTS, and soon enough, I had a whole Billy shelf from IKEA filled with albums. Fast forward to now, and my stan list has grown EXPONENTIALLY! Working for LightUpK has exposed me to so many incredible groups and soloists.
I will say though, I’m kind of known as the “SM stan" on the team (I can't help it that SM Entertainment has so many talented idols)
I’d have to name NCT as my top group though (with NCT 127 having a SLIGHT edge over the other subunits).
I hope my work here at LightUpK can help invigorate your passions surrounding k-pop 🫶
