1. In your opinion, about which fanclubs I should write?:
Whatever ones are the easiest for you to get information on and seem most easiest to write about.

2. Besides translating videos, interviews, news what else fans do for each other?:
Do whatever's asked of them if they're able to. Such as helping them to connect to the group through projects or even by reporting on concerts if the fan is able to actually go there.

3. I'm sure all of us remember I Love Korea 2008 Dream Concert, where SNSD boycott took place. Unfortunately I have to ask if you remember other cases of that kind of behavior; similar or same as this one?
Henry boycott, 2PM's Leader leaving and the fans boycotting and returning all goods as a statement, etc.

4. Can you tell me if you're anti fan of any group? Yes/No? And WHY? What do you think, why people become anti fans?:Yes. Who? Not telling and why - mostly because of the things they say or do and even sometimes it's because of the fans. I'm pretty sure everyone, when getting into a group, looks at how their

1. In your opinion, about which fanclubs I should write?: Definitely the most popular and involved. maybe do girl group fanclubs compared to boybands, and also groups in general compared to solo artist fanclubs such as Rain's 'clouds' :)
2. Besides translating videos, interviews, news what else fans do for each other?: we comfort each other when something goes wrong, like with the wonbin incident ;____; and also talk and gossip about clothes, performances etc. we share our opinions!
3. I'm sure all of us remember I Love Korea 2008 Dream Concert, where SNSD boycott took place. Unfortunately I have to ask if you remember other cases of that kind of behavior; similar or same as this one? Hm well in general i first think of all the hate towards hangeng for being a foriegner. There were tons of incidents where antifans went so far as to try to hurt the boys. Changmin getting hit with the purse, hangeng getting sent the blood and poisined cake i believe.
4. Can you tell me if you're anti fan of any group? Yes/No? And WHY? What do you think

1. In your opinion, about which fanclubs I should write?:
I'd keep it simple and stick to the ones with the most drama, Cassies, ELF, Hottest
2. Besides translating videos, interviews, news what else fans do for each other?:
Organize fan meets, I know a few who have done charity work (like the cassies and I think the soshis), introduce each other to different/new music. I'm not sure if this goes with your question exactly, but you could probably go into the kind of sisterhood that fan clubs and even smaller groups of fans have with each other. At first you're tied together by the music/fandom, but because of that involvement you eventually develop strong personal bonds.

1. In your opinion, about which fanclubs I should write?: Cassiopeia for sure I am Our fandom is amazing but I'd say ELF, & Hottest as well and maybe a girl group like SONES?
2. Besides translating videos, interviews, news what else fans do for each other?:
3. We do a lot. We spazz together, form boycotss, give mental support throughout our forums and such.
4. Can you tell me if you're anti fan of any group? Yes/No? And WHY? What do you think, why people become anti fans?: Yes I am an anti (although not as hardcore) but honestly, we're anti's if they get close to our boys, it's the one thing that makes us annoyed; or if their fans are asses.
5. Besides organizing Birthday/Christmas projects, what else fans/fanclubs do/organize for their idols?: We make videos for them? :D. Like TVXQ, we might donate to charity for them and get them in the newspaper.
