Do you have problems with following too many groups?

Do you have problems with following too many groups?

 

And most importantly, how do you do it without wasting too much time?

 

My number is climbing up to seven groups, and even more if we count in soloists and also activities of individual members, and it's often I miss all the interesting and important stuff.

 

i think a good idea would be to have a tumblr account where current updates of all groups just show up on dashboard, but then you have another problem.

 

If I follow for example an EXO tumblr, on my dashboard appear a bunch of fanpics and then I have to scroll 300 photos of Luhan blinking until I get to relevant stuff like news, updates and most important things that happened that day.

Yes, I hate it! I love so many girl groups and it's hard for me to follow all of them. I have my main two (APINK and Ladies' Code) whom I check with on the daily basis and then there's the other groups who I check in on from time to time and during comeback season.

I only have a tumblr for EXO and my God it's the most annoying thing ever. The same people always reblog the same pictures so it appears 10 times on my dashboard and then as you said it's a shit ton of pictures of them blinking and crap with the occasional picture from the 2012. 

 

I stopped using tumblr really tbh

 

 

But I only follow like 4 groups so I don't have this problem

i used to but over time i ended up just keeping up to date with the a handful.

 

regarding big bang and news out of akb48 im up to date.

 

with other groups i just follow their combacks and waych the occasional variety.

 

 

i tend to visit alot of kpop sites so im updated with general kpop stuff anyway.

I sympathize with you. There are also many girl groups I like but I can't follow them because I already follow too much. I can't believe I missed T-ara's last comeback.

 

so you only follow them during comeback season

 

well thats a good idea

it's too difficult to keep up with multiple groups in-depth, I usually have one or two "main" groups (TVXQ, Big Bang) and then I have others I consider myself a fan of, but I track their updates more casually (SHINee, f(x), SNSD, etc). I just don't have the time, energy or mental capacity to follow everyone at the same level...

 

twitter is the best place for instant news, I find. at least in Cassiopeia/Bigeast fandom. 1H is actually second because as soon as I hear about something on twitter, someone's already come to post it here. but I may also just be lucky to be part of a very efficient and experienced fandom

the worst thing is when a good blog goes on a posting spree and then they post 100 text post of them fangirling in CAPS

 

or some random yaoi pairings I don't even know existed

yeah, but reading twitter posts takes a lot of time,

but IDK maybe I should try that

 

on the other hand, TVXQ isn't a hard group to follow because there isn't much going on most of the time, or their news are really boring, like Changmin did that and he got many praises, Yunho did that and got many praises

but if I stop keeping tabs on them, I always miss when they release a Japanese single

I guess I'm just used to it cause I've had twitter a long time. it helps to follow fanbases and fansites on there

 

well maybe YOU find it boring but it's interesting for me... I think they do a lot. but naturally they're a senior group so there are things they did as newbies that they don't really need to do now, and they'll be enlisting soon, so fans take every piece of news we can get

 

Korean promo cycle is different to the Japanese promo cycle so the latter releases tend to be more subtle I suppose.

No. I currently only follow one "rookie" (flop) group and 2 groups that I'm waiting on to debut. And that's unusual for me because I don't normally follow idol groups' non-music activities at all.

 

your philosophy is really good (only following music releases) because all the variety and drama appearances of idols are boring tbh

 

haha welcome to kpop xD

 

thank you lol

 

It all depends. I follow mostly nugu groups, so I don't get swarmed with crazy fan pics. For the bigger groups, like EXO, SNSD, and 2NE1, I just follow them during their comeback .

thanks, you arent the first to say this

i think i will start doing it
