Slowpoke X 1,319 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

A Boy Like Troy 3,333 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

김민주 16,324 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elle Eaux Elle 2,298 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes, I like almost every girl group out there, so there are a lot of faces to keep track of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teru 22,363 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimSimi 503 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo 2,760 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I only follow 2ne1 and big bang and they haven't been doing much recently.

A Boy Like Troy 3,333 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 so you only follow them during comeback season well thats a good idea Definitely. I found out that it's the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEOJU 4,405 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I follow many many boy groups, probably too many. No regrets. I enjoy it so much. All these rookies suddenly are not helping, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
