Thesis
Theme: "South Korean fanclubs as international "organization" connecting youth from all over the world"
Questions to fans: [YOU CAN ANSWER AS ANON xD; *points 4th question*]
1. In your opinion, about which fanclubs I should write? [Honestly, I don't know many fanclubs, just those like Cassiopeia, ELF, Shinee World, Primadonna, Hottest. If

- In 2009, Hottest, VIP and Cassis.
2. Besides translating videos, interviews, news what else fans do for each other?:
- Umm. Correct someone, when she got the information wrong
- Share news and decide if it's appropriate to translate (? k i srsly dunno)
- Spread the news of whatever's going on
- Getting to know each other through forum activities
- Expand kpop knowledge about your favorite idol
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?
- Hmm. None that I know of. Hmmmm. But I know, eversince that incident, it was like sunshine after a rain. ㅋㅋㅋ
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?:
- I'm definitely not an anti fan of any group, but there are groups which I dislike. Well, not really dislike. Idgaf. That kinda thing. Is that counted? It's usually how these groups; they behave, their reactions, their past and current and sometimes when you hear stories about them. That kinda thing.
Well, anti-fans are usually (imo) fans who are jealous of another group's success. Yeah, I guess that's where an anti-fan comes into the picture.
5. Besides organizing Birthday/Christmas projects, what else fans/fanclubs do/organize for their idols?:
- Donate in their idol's name
- Do protests/boycotts/stuffs like these to protect their idols
- Prepare food for them during radio shows, photoshoots, commercial shootings etc..
- Gifts to congratulate them at every occassion (1st No.1 win on music shows etc)
- I heard that in Korea, before entering a live music show or something like that, you have to give your name to the "Admin/Mod" of the fanclub later in the studio, you'll sit accordingly. So I guess these "Leader-fans" will help to group the fans together so... to...erm. Support their idols? (omg im so sorry)
yeah, tts all i got. BAHHHHH.
