Popular idol group SNSD's fans in their 30's and 40's, also known as the 'Uncle Corps', can be seen in department stores. Starting from the 28th of last month, customers who make purchases of 400,000 won [~$323] or more get tickets to either the 'SNSD, Kara, Brown Eyed Girls, Shinee Concert', which will take place at the Seoul Olympic Stadium on the 13th, or to the 'Lee Seungchul Concert'. This has caused male fans in their 30's and 40's to come out in full force.

Hyundai Department Stores analyzed data on those who received tickets up until the 2nd and it found that, among the 2979 people that chose the SNSD concert, 58.6% were males. Furthermore, 45% of the males were in their 30's and 40's. On the other hand, 3921 people chose tickets to the 'Lee Seungchul Concert', and 86.2% of them were females. Among them, 53% were females in their 40's and 50's.

The concert is to celebrate Hyundai Department Store's opening of its 'U-Plex' store in Shinchon, which specializes in fashion for young people. The event will continue until the 6th.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Ahjussi fans are odd but what is even more weird are BOYS going crazy over a girlgroups. It's just weird cause throughout history guys have never showed such devotion to celebrities, they care way too much about video games and sports. I mean Spice Girls were the biggest girlgroup to hit America yet their fanbase was primarily female. So Ahjussi fans are weird but boyfans in general is weird.

I wonder how I would feel if I was the daughter or wife of an ajusshi fan.

but srsly, so many boys. I thought that the sones would still have a female majority but most of the time I have to strain to find girls in their section.

I'd be creeped out if my dad liked SNSD 'cause for one I wouldn't think that guys in their 30's/40's/50's would like their pop music. :|

Your icon always reminds me of FTI's Jonghun. He had kinda similar hair (http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3023/127242.jpg) last year.

Let's up the potential creepy factor. Theoretically, what if SNSD and Morning Musume had a concert together? *shiver* And now my brain hates me 'cuz picturing all the wota and ahjusshi... oh sweet Shisus it makes me ill.

so all ahjusshis must be creepy old men perving on the delicate Soshi flowers. NO EXCEPTIONS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE GIRLS THEMSELVES AND SHOWING SUPPORT LKE ANY OTHER FANS, THEY JUST WANNA FUCK'EM. good to know.

a;lsjkdf THIS. Even the girls themselves have said that the samchon fans are usually more mature and quiet in their support - i.e. more considerate and less nuts.

I feel bad about the double standard for the older male fans. Older women buying tickets for groups like SHINee is perfectly acceptable but oh my god older men buying tickets for things like SNSD and they're all just old dirty perverts! Older women donating money for their fandom and they get praised for it. Older men do it and they still get called creepers and the like.

A fan is a fan, regardless of age or gender. Just be happy they have so many.

Wait are these fans like...FANS or do like they like the group because of the fap material? I'm seriously confused

Why, because they are older men? Do you think the same way with male groups who have older women as fans? Or is that like most people you think that older female fans are cute and adorable but not creepy at all? That's pretty much a double standard right there.
