The popularity rankings of Korean girl groups in China were shared in a recent Instiz bulletin board post, revealing the first one to ever reach over a million fans in its fan cafe.
In a post titled “China’s Baidu fan cafe ranking of Korean girl groups” shared on July 8th, the original poster writes, “T-ARA #1. First Korean girl group to exceed one million people in China’s Baidu fan cafe.”
The screencap reveals five different columns with the ranking, girl group name, number of members in their fan cafe as of July 4th (2015) and another more updated one for July 7th (2015), and finally, the difference of people who joined or left between the two date. Notes at the bottom also reveals what is reflected in the numbers, including solo artists and former group members.
In first place is T-ARA with 1,000,872 members as of July 7th, up 51,641 members in a span of three days. Jessica Jung is behind in second place with 960,995 members.

Date: 2015-07-10 04:43 am (UTC)this is such an achievement when none of the members are chinese or even know how to speak it… goes against companies whose idol group concepts are to have chinese members to lead the china market.
my love for t-ara has never faltered even during the scandal, but only grew... I think fans who are like that reap the most rewarding feels. I still won’t give up hope that Korea will one day love them back.
hope that they are religiously studying chinese though so there will come a near future where I can watch their activity in china without waiting for subs! (ala exo-m peak period) :p
