To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to ~~several~~ a number of simple rules;

Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Who do you think have it worst, say Angelina Jolie or SNSD ? (In their respective countries of course)

SNSD

They aren't even allowed to take pictures with male idols without it becoming national news.

But overall, I think Super Junior has it the worst, their fans are just too crazy.

SMTOWN was able to have concerts in LA and NYC but i imagine 85% of the fans were Asians + Show Spoiler +

(Koreans, Chinese, whatever) could be wrong but ill say that for now. i am happy they were able to get a good fan meeting, good start but they have to get better songs and promote way more before anyone can say they are popular or well known in the USA. I don't know anyone who even knows what Kpop is or who snsd is ... so unless the average person knows they are just a niche market.

Ill use this as an example, i am Indian and when the movie slum dog millionaire was out people were all excited about "Indian" movies, they thought that was what every "Indian" movie was but ... no no ... generally they are musicals and very cheesy, and oh ya no one cares about "Indian" movies anymore but me

. If people actually saw what kpop was its not very attractive to a US audience. Kpop is good because it sounds good in Korean... it loses its appeal to me at least in English.

I'm sorry but what's the problem with their fans being asian?

That actually reminds me I went to the LA one. I never posted my fancams or anything though, mostly cause my seats were at the side. This was before I was into kpop...

@the whole fan thing. Someone at LA thought they saw Suju through the glass doors. It obviously wasn't the case but everyone outside started SCREAMING HOLY SHIT. They crazy.

I'd do the same for IU or t-ara though, i think.

American pap are more prevalent (TMZ) but the usually back off to let the celebs do their thing. Korean picture takers (mostly fans) are batshit crazy. Need I bring up again the fans who wrote love letters in period blood? yeah...

I went to the LA SMTown too and was also somewhere way in the side ha where all the super cheap seats were.. I managed to jump a few sections though.

This whole "crazy fan" talk reminds that while I was waiting for the concert I saw a lady with a tattoo "Cassiopeia" on her arm. Hardcore fans.

So where do you guys go to to "buy music"?

I haven't had a reliable source in a long time since my old one decided it wanted to be AKP version 2.

For the record, I actually have a huge stash of albums lol. I do actually buy them but I sometimes like to acquire them beforehand as shipping takes a couple of weeks lol and I actually want to listen to the music already. So I am not really stealing.
