Holy shit whaaaat
I got into kpop in 2009 mostly from 2008 songs, it's going to be really weird seeing them all turn 10 yo. Like when did those years went by, what happened, have I really been into kpop for ten years???

Also at one point I was able to sing it and even do the raps (at least sounding similar enough) at karaoke and a Korean girl asked me if I was learning Korean - nope, just a big VIP then haha.

i was not into kpop at that time... but still an iconic song. i got into kpop a couple years later..

I think it was Sunset Glow that got me into BigBang, rather than this one - but it was the same era.

It's a goooooood song and the album and era were great and I stanned them so much!!!!!!

Lol i used to hate Big Bang so much. Now that I'm older and don't partake in fandom, I fully admit all their music was good. Bop city. Haru Haru is sooooo good.

i wasn't around when haru haru came out but it's the most legendary song.

i honest to god cry when i listen to it, it means so much to me. big bang got me into kpop around 2009/2010, even though they were not the first kpop group i've heard (i think that was shinhwa).

as someone on tumblr said, it's all fun and games until haru haru starts playing.

haru haru came out around the time i got into kpop but i only cared about BoA and SHINee back then so i only found out about that song in 2009. still it's one of my favorite kpop songs of all time.the mv is so beautiful.

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

Weeps
Its wild cause that's not even their best song from that album, but an icon nonetheless

Omg this was my first kpop song, I cannot believe

[myungung.livejournal.com]

I wasn't a kpop fan when it came out, but it was the first Big Bang song I listened to when I watched them live, along with some other kpop acts. (a blasphemy I know, considering they were the headlining acts)

Haru Haru was hands down my fav Big Bang song ever. nothing can top that

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I love this song so much. It’s still in my Top 5 favorite Big Bang songs.

i've probably said this multiple times before but being able to sing haru haru (and lies!!!) at a bigbang concert with the fans and bb is just a whole other experience that is unbeatable (although granted for me it was at a yg fam con, not only bb)

Damn... I started listening to kpop in 2008 and freakin loved this song, BB were my first big bias group. I'm old lol.
