I guess I started dipping my toes in kpop around 2012-13. However, I was more into variety personalities of idols than their music. Maybe around 2015-16 I started to touch the music part.

IMO the Hallyu wave started invading the United States because of this:

Digital television transition in the United States - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"However, the transition to digital television was set back three times: first to December 31, 2008, then to February 17, 2009, and then finally to June 12, 2009. All U.S. full-power analog TV broadcasts were required by law to end on June 12, 2009 "

MBC, KBS, SBS, and Arirang became available on my TV without cable. I rarely even watch TV anymore.
