Nanshi, OMFG! You actually fangirled for the first time (To my knowledge)! *High five*
I remember a little while back, when I read some of your posts, they were like, "I'm not really a big fan of DBSK...Really I'm not..." And now you've completely made a 180, congratulations. If only I had people at my school I could fangirl to, I totally would T^T.
But you're totally right, I am trying to pick up Korean simply for DBSK, and I'm proud to admit that lol. At first I was like, "No, it's just for my own good and for understanding kdramas..." But now it's like, "Screw kdramas, I'm learning this for the boys!"
I'm not so surprised when I hear white girls having a thing for DBSK, I mean, they are pretty damn pretty! I'm usually more surprised when I hear that black girls like them. It just surprises me, it really does. You just don't normally see a black girl having a thing for Asian boys....No offense to anyone here, though. I love diversity and I hope that people of all races will learn to love DBSK.
ciarain and
yingling, yeah...
We all have our favorites, but to flat out bash and hate on other memers just isn't right!
Sure, there might be sites dedicated to each member, favoritism is inevitable, but the difference between Heroshock and other dedicated fansites is that other sites didn't have members openly and blatantly bash the other guys.
Jajaja over at soompi provided some details as to what some members wrote on the site:
QUOTE
1) Bashing Yunho on his birthday
Something about them being happy that it was 'quiet' during Yunho's b-day, and that Jaejoong got more recognition(?) on Bestiz. They were basically dissing Yunho...
2) Ignoring Junsu and his fans
Apparantly a Junsu fan posted a message on Heroshock saying, 'Please don't talk harmfully about Junsu'. (Apparantly there were some rumours going on about him) and it got a lot of hate replies...
3) Making rumours about Yuchun's speeding
I think this was during the time when JJ and YC got into the car accident. YC's fans started saying that he got hurt because of JJ. JJ's fans defended him by saying YC was perfectly fine, and made up something about YC speeding the next day.
4) Community Control
Heroshock's members often chat here all night, and often leave a lot of hate messages to the other fan site members. They disrupt the peace in the forums...
See? It's stuff like this that really irks me. Even if it is a site dedicated to just one member, it doesn't give them the privelege to talk however the heck they want about other members. I certainly don't think JaeJoong would be too thrilled knowing that HIS fans were dissing on his "brothers." It's just...ughhh...
And
ciarain, I understand what you're trying to say 100%. It seems like people are starting to just go off in their own little worlds now with each member. It's as if people want them to be on their own, so that they can just admire them more and not have to "share" his fame with DBSK. Do you get what I'm trying to say?
Anyway, yeah, we ALL know that JaeJoong is the most poular internationally, but that doesn't mean he should get any special treatment IMO. To choose one over the whole group is pretty ludicrous, considering it was the group that made the person, and not the other way around.
I adore and have a HUUUUUUUGE love for Junsu, but I would never choose him over DBSK as a whole. I got into DBSK FIRST and I fell in love with their songs first, so I'm going to stay loyal to them. DBSK introduced me to Junsu, so I wouldn't feel right just liking him and not the whole group. Unless, you're like one of those fans who came to love Junsu because of his solo work in Timeless or whatnot, it's not cool giving just one member all the praise and credit when all members work easily as hard as the other.
Do I even make sense anymore? Lol. I guess I'll stop here before I get too irritated...
