Kyungsoo-sama 445 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Suju was my first kpop bias group and they actually got me into kpop but you can obviously see which fandom i am in now. But today i just missed them so much so i started watching their shows again, but i quite had a hard time finding their shows that are subbed? And i also saw the comments of other elfs saying that it is hard to find subbed shows that sj are in nowadays? But i remember subbed videos of sj was everywhere before. Just... what happened? Are they really losing their popularity now? just how bad is it? I am asking this question not to mock sj or what but i am actually concerned and curious. now i am thinking that i should've given them more love. Just how bad is it? Is it bad? i hope no one will say something so rude here because im serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad? a large part of their fandom consists of older fans, who are probs married or have kids and who don't have time to sub shows anymore. are they losing popularity amongst teens/university students? yes, but so is every other group formed around that time period i.e. snsd.

bastarz 25 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 it happens when you've been around as long as they have. they still seem to have a solid fan base and can do tours but their glory days are over people are always quick to discredit all the success idols have had when they aren't as popular anymore but they are a group who doesn't really need to prove anything anymore they've done all the big things years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually get pissed when fans esp newbies discredit and downgrade groups like sj. Like bitch u wouldn't even know kpop without these groups they're the one who spread hallyu wave and made it big.

domination 6,855 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I take it in a positive manner - stabilising of fanbase. This weeds out the fans who are there for stanning who is popular and the fans who truly like them. It's nice being in the spotlight but the boys have experienced it already. I'm sure they feel more comfortable now and they're only working for a select group of people who truly support them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartkyu 826 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Majority of the fandom are older (in college, married, with children, etc.), so of course people will have less time to sub shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyhaelove 509 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's normal to lose popularity. SJ actually has quiet a long run with high popularity though. They won Golden Disk more than any group have ever won, they have multiple world tours, and despite decrease in popularity their album still sold more than 3 hundreds thousand copies. Things that made it hard to find shows with eng subs are because they rest for sometime before releasing Mamacita (a year). Fans can do a lot of things within that time. The older ones got married, got a job and continue their lives. The younger ones move on to other groups. Some fansite masters are even married and have kids. They don't have time to subbed shows anymore. Other groups that has a lot of subbers are usually popular with younger generations. This is popularity cycle. Nothing that we can do about it since this will eventually happen to ALL groups with no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyungsoo-sama 445 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 26M is good tho. Especially for a flop song. I don't think it's a flop song. They won many times in music shows and they won a disk award with it.I take it in a positive manner - stabilising of fanbase.

StayPressed 205 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I don't think it's a flop song. They won many times in music shows and they won a disk award with it. Music shows win dont make a song sucessful tho, miss A didnt win a single award show, yet still in the Top 2/3 and sometimes even at #1 on charts. SISTAR I Swear was a flop and won 5 times on music show ( against SUJU ) and a Gaon Award too. But still was a flop in a way under 10K album sales and around 600k-700k downloads.

hiraishrimp 5,413 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Their music has really lost its flair over the past few years I used to really like their title tracks, but when I first heard Mamacita I stopped it half way through and never listened to it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they feel more comfortable now and they're only working for a select group of people who truly support them that's such a nice thing to say and it is very true. back when SJ were at the top, everywhere, winning left right and center, hogging all the year end awards and breaking all the records even i had times when i doubted myself and asked what if i was "taken" by all the popularity, buzz, success and bragging rights? but now seeing them lose their popularity and all those past glory days yet i still love them and their music all the same is really reassuring. i can very confidently say i stan SJ for the music, performances and entertainment and not for the popularity and bragging right and that's why i am still here today, still losing my shit and despite decrease in popularity their album still sold more than 3 hundreds thousand copies. it actually sold 410k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeiKyute 738 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 As a group/musicians : Yes !! But they are still their somewhere near at the top, 4 a ten year old group thats quite an achievement .. As an individual : No !! They are in demand left & right on varieties, musical, radio show, drama etc. So its quite balance i guess, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
