I have been a fan since I was a kid. As a person who grew up without smartphones my source of entertainment before just like everyone else are television, cinemas, cds, dvds, and magazines. In these platforms opened me to becoming a fan. A fan in its simpliest definition is liking not just a person or a group of people but also inanimate things like for example, you can be a fan of Labubu or you can be an enthusiast of but this time, the term fan will refer to being a fan of series, movies, celebrities, musicians and anything that is related to entertainment industry.
As a kid in the early 2000s, I started my journey as a fan by being a fan of my local entertainment industry, particularly in Philippine entertainment industry.
