[TRANS] Fan CafeTop Ranking: Swept By All TVXQ Members

Great Dong Bang Shin Ki!

A chart which aims to measure the popular members in each male group has been running on line. The chart shows the popularity position of internet cafe of individual member in groups: 2 PM, 2 AM, TVXQ, SS501, Big Bang, Super Junior, and FT Island.

And all TVXQ’s five members’ fancafes have swept the top 5 on chart for domestic (South Korea) and Asia counts.



More than 300,000 members joined Junsu fancafe, boasted his individual fancafe to be the first on chart. The second to have most members in his fancafe is Yoochun. Jaejoong followed behind, and continue with Yunho and Changmin.

In this chart, TVXQ successfully knocked down other local male group and gets its winning. TVXQ is the only group whose all 5 members get more than 200,000 people in each fancafe. Junsu and Yoochun hold 330,000 members and 310,000 members respectively. Both Jaejoong and Yunho get 230,000-ish members in each fancafe while Changmin holds 200,000.

G-Dragon of Big Bang which occupies 6th place get over 110,000 members.

On top 10 the line up asides from 5 members of TVXQ and G-Dragon, there are Super Junior’s Heechul, Eunhyuk, Donghae, and SS501’s Hyeon Joong.

This chart aims to grade all fanclub’s recent most important member of each teen group and is up both in Daum and Naver which are the biggest portal site in South Korea. Of course, netizens can not just connect the result of this chart directly to the scale of each group member’s popularity, as the number resulted is not released officially and the counting is not done physically (T/N: just an estimation). Even some fancafes’ members called the chart as an absurd chart.

Nevertheless, this popularity measurement chart still gathers a lot of netizens’ attention. The uniqueness of this chart is to measure the popularity of each member and not the group. Especially to see the recent trend spreads, that there are many member solo activities being held.

One admin of a large fanclub said, 'Young generation nowadays tend to prefer individual activities of a member than in the group. Thus, it becomes so natural that idol group’s members also put their solo activities first above the group activities. There is recently a case that a fan of an individual member overwhelmed the group of his/her favorite member.'

Regardless of what rank the members get, I can't help but to say, TVXQ Forever 5.

They finally proved that even when artists go overseas, they don't lose fans in their home land cause many perceived to be so.
