How can Elfs be lesser than Triple S'es? And even Sones?

[readyforever.livejournal.com]

and this is from... where? the daum cafes? or the actual recorded SM figures?

because as far as i remember, they still had well over 800k in the daum cafes, and.. i don't see why people would pay to be an official member of SM's cass with the shit they don't get.

[tacoss.livejournal.com]

i'm guessing daum cafes, cause i just checked yuaerubi and they're off by 400 on this list. they have less than that, which i find kind of crazy :x

how can 3000~4000 people just leave like that? but i can't say i really blame them, considering the state fandom's in right now... :/

[heyahala.livejournal.com]

How come Shawol is the least?? T.T

But happy to see Triple S there =]

[miyumiyuxxx.livejournal.com]

well that haven't been around for very long. about 1.5 years. se7en has been a singer for a LONG time (active since 2003) but his fan club numbers aren't that far off from Shawol's, so they're doing pretty good.

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

I can see why they would leave...SM kind of exploits them as well in a way...

[musikq.livejournal.com]

ss501 > SJ?

that's ... suspicious.

are these ~official~ fanclub numbers?
what about daum cafes et?

[visual-jaeho.livejournal.com]

Isn't cassiopea closed? they stopped accepting members in 2006 Lol. bigeast is steadily increasing every month so that's fine.
omg i'm surprised that sones are bigger than elfs, i though suju had a lot more fans actually...

[aunts.livejournal.com]

I thought Cass opened up once a year to accept new members, but I don't know at WHAT point during the year, or is they stopped altogether..

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

it's still kicking ass ♥

[jaejoongxyuno07.livejournal.com]

THIS!
♥
MMM... JAE

[aunts.livejournal.com]

I have no words. But it is only a couple thousand...

[aunts.livejournal.com]

Oh and over 4 years of inactivity and BoA is STILL the queen. :D

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I'm a little shocked that SNSD and SS501 are higher up than Super Junior. SHINee being the last on the list is a surprise as well.

[myiuchan.livejournal.com]

isn't ELF closed since 2006/07?

ah ok, they opened for one week in july and it's closed again D:

[magic-jungle.livejournal.com]

I dunno where these figures are from but DBSK having less than 800,000?!! hahahahah. NO.

Official? psshhhh. A fan is a fan, so they should include Bigeasts, Cassies and international fans.

[telrunyaaa.livejournal.com]

lol exactly.
I dont give a damn about 'official'
look how many international fans they have.
like.. O.M.G rite?

[callmeliyah.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to see Shinhwa is still high up in the lists. And I'm not surprised at the decrease of cassies considering all the crap going on. That is, if this is real stuff :D

[fivil.livejournal.com]

Ditto on Shinhwa!

[jaele.livejournal.com]

interestinggg

[eatingthepie.livejournal.com]

boa > hyori oh yeah

[aunts.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN AT LIFE.

[massj.livejournal.com]

how can this happen...
all is about SM fault...
SM will get their revenge for the act..

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

idk what to believe, but the only thing im sure about is that i'm waiting for cassiopeia to open and accept new members. I'm waiting to send off my application, damn it.

[ahxian94.livejournal.com]

where do you sign up?

[riiche.livejournal.com]

didn't dbsk close sign ups a looooong time ago?

i've always considered anyone who's a dbsk fan a cassie, so if we're going by that logic... 800000's just a fraction, lmao.

[jaejoongxyuno07.livejournal.com]

haha.
me too!

[risabet.livejournal.com]

These figures are hilarious to a person who comes from a country with a population of 5 million people :DDDD It's like reading a fairytale!

[https://users.livejournal.com/--slasher/]

LOL


the number of cassies outnumbers my entire city's population by 100,000

[treasurewindow.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing Suju has less numbers because of the recent incidents? Shitty 2009 is shitty.. :/

[bgurl1210.livejournal.com]

No, bc the sign up time for the fanclub has been closed since early 2006. No one can join.

[velcro-undies.livejournal.com]

This has NO SOURCE. How did it get here?

And it's in CHINESE. What real source could it possibly be? These are KOREAN fanclubs.

Cassiopeia official numbers haven't changed since 2006, IIRC. This 797,821 is the 800,000 that's been bandied about before. To justify a drop in membership, a lot more info is going to be needed. This is just someone trying to start shit, especially with a headline like that, LOL.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

Mte.

[prototypic.livejournal.com]

don't see what's so surprising. super junior's fanclub has always had low numbers, irregardless of the credibility of this article.

[inheritable.livejournal.com]

iirc they had way more than that.

[https://users.livejournal.com/--slasher/]

cassies decreased in numbers, and yet they still have twice as many members as second place.


that's flat-out ridiculous.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

LOL am I the only one that believed the '800,000' members thing was just estimated from those real numbers above? Nothing has changed imo, since Cass hasn't opened in a while...

[riiche.livejournal.com]

um yeah, this basically.

i was a bit confused with some of the reactions here because i always figured 800,000 was a round off.

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]

There is another tvxq daum fanclub that has 200,000+ members.

There are a few other daum fanclubs for these groups, not just one lol.

http://cafe.daum.net/sinki1004 205,00 fans.

So, I don't think these counted as official.

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]

Also, it has been down for a couple of weeks now, it was down last month, then it went up and now it went down. lol. I was waiting for news on it, and here it is.

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

these numbers are from their daum cafes, # of members. so yea nothing rly official.
