Beast's fanclub members, threat for Suju and 2PM

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Beast recently emerged as a ‘hot’ male idol group. Beast’s official fan cafe member recently has surpassed 160000 people. In months, more than 20000 additional members is registered. And in the first half of the year, the member has reached 200000 people.

Beast now has the largest official fan cafe member, surpassed other male idol group such as Shinee (73000), MBLAQ (80000), and 2AM (60000). While the other group’s official fan cafe member show a downward trend, Beast official fan cafe shows a rapid multiplication.

Currently Beast’s official fan cafe circumstances is a threat for the nation’s top male groups, such as Super Junior (230000 in 천휘룡(Cheonhwiryong) and 190000 in 온새미로(Onsaemiro)), 2PM (200000), and Big Bang (240000).

The number of official fan cafe member is one of the gauges to measure their popularity. An expert in music industry explained that “Typically 10% members of the fan cafe will buy the album and attend their concerts.”

Beast’s first concert ticket last year was sold out immediately. Beast will held an encore concert in 18th and 19th February in Seoul Olympic Stadium.

I'm like the only person who thinks they have like 2 good songs.

Only 10%? Woah, I thought at least a little bit more.

Joining the official fanclub isn't that hard, you just need a Daum account and a few clicks, then do the dentry survey and voila. It's just joining an international forum, not like more than 10% of people there buy the albums or are able to attend concerts.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ♥

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

i thought shinee has 100000+ members

[eliteseal.livejournal.com]

Perhaps due to the Se Kyung effect?

[amai-candy.livejournal.com]

you go b2st, you go

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

omg your icon

[ayaisdifferent.livejournal.com]

oh i didn't knew shinee has so less o.o
but yay for beast ♥ great news~

[fromthemars.livejournal.com]

but shinee have more fans than that in their cafe so this article already is kinda wrong?

[fromthemars.livejournal.com]

to clarify last time i remember shinee had 124000, i can't imagine it would have dropped that much.

[pandaranger.livejournal.com]

guess promoting nonstop helped~ :X

....mblaq has more than shinee? ouch.

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

Super Junior has 2 fancafes, so it's not a biggie.

And Beast is getting promoted a lot right now so it's not surprising.

[nickynisa.livejournal.com]

perhaps bcoz they didn't have controversy.. like suju - missing 3 members, 2pm - kicked out their leader..
don't bash me.. i'm just saying.. it's the truth..
i love suju XD

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

good point is good xD

[itangeisha.livejournal.com]

lol MBLAQ>>>SHINEE. incredible but fantastic.

yay for them :D
and bigbang, stay classy.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

Eh, suju has more international love

[noneq.livejournal.com]

♥

[melonfucka.livejournal.com]

mblaq > shinee?

i'm just going to have to walk away from this and pretend like i never saw it.

[taecish.livejournal.com]

u know it's true tho

[memopanda.livejournal.com]

As it says in the article, the number of members in the fancafe is only ONE measure of a group's success. I'm a huge fan of Beast, but I'd still say SHINee is more successful and has accomplished more than Beast rn. Not to mention Suju, 2PM, BB etc.

Still, it's great to see the crazy amount of work they did this year coming to fruition~ We fans are majorly spoiled. Beast are wonderful and I'm so proud of them. \o/ I can only hope this year will be just as amazing for them.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

I just checked. BB has 347,000+ and Shinee has 126,000+ @_@
Sucks for the Boy groups.. most of them are losing so many members monthly
but meh just focus on the kcharts lol

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Side-eyeing you forever.

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

Big Bang (240000) \o\|o|/o/

[t8l8.livejournal.com]

Big Bang currently has 347,962 members in their official fancafe.
It looks like the writer is trying to boost Beast's image by downplaying the figures of other groups. o_O

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

LOL, this article is full of crap. Where are they getting their numbers?

[jaghatar.livejournal.com]
