Japanese DBSK Fans Listen To Their Music Up To 3 Hours Daily

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

About half of the Japanese fans of the famous music group Donbangsinki/TVXQ reportedly listen to their music for two or three hours every day. Japan’s major music web store HMV surveyed 3,846 users before releasing Dongbangsinki’s first best-of album ‘Best Selection 2010′ and found that forty-nine percent of the people surveyed spend two to three hours listening to their music every single day.

The enthusiasts, who listen to their music for over 10 hours per day, consisted of five percent of those surveyed. Seventy-two percent of the respondents said that they have never visited S. Korea since becoming fans of Dongbangsinki. Meanwhile, twenty-two percent of those surveyed said they visited S. Korea one to three times, and one enthusiastic fan of Dongbangsinki has visited S. Korea forty times now.

The respondents answered the question ‘How long have you been a fan of Dongbangsinki?’ as follows:
Since their debut in Korea: 7%
Since their debut in Japan: 12%
Three years: 21% 
Two years: 29%
One year: 31%

The results show that the group is becoming more popular lately.

They answered the reason they like Dongbangsinki as follows:
Teamwork: 37%
Outstanding singing ability: 24%
The group members’ personalities: 16%
Their performances: 8%
Their appearance: 1%

I think I listen to DBSK for 2-3 hrs @_@
...How do ppl do it for 10 hrs? they must not have hw or anything else to do

[kireny.livejournal.com]

I always have music on, like from when I wake up until I go bed; as like background noise.
The only time I dont is when I'm watching TV, but then I usually turn it back on during the commerical breaks.

[alwyz-member-me.livejournal.com]

LoL... mms... not sure what my reason is... maybe it's 35% because of their music ability and 65% appearance. =3

[xsilentdreamx.livejournal.com]

Lol! I wish I had that much free time. I've never been to Korea even once. o.o

Teamwork: 37%

1) I C U, JAEJOONG'S FANS.
2) U'R ALL LIARZ.
3) Actually, I'm not so surprised now that I think of what the THSK j-stylists have been doing.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

I can't listen to ANY artist that long in one day D:

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

I like how it says 1% percent for their appearance. Who knows how accurate this is really, but even though it was Jaejoong who attracted me to DBSK the reason why I like them is for their singing ability. They are not the kind of group I go to for the eyecandy but for the great songs.
