Koreans are big in Thailand like Big Bang.

First off, we have the Wonder Girls giving a video message (see video below) to their Thai fans. This is coinciding with the fact that the girls will be heading to Thailand next week to have some promotions.


video source: http://www.gmminter.com

Speaking of promotions... and surprisingly not mistaken for a Ladyboy in the land thats filled with them. Girly man Ajoo successfully held his promotions in Thailand earlier in the week. More than 2000 fans saw him at the Siam Center in Bangkok. Wherever Ajoo went in Thailand there were hordes of fans follwing him, from when he rode in his taxi to waiting for him outside the hotel - they did everything to catch a glimpse of the man that is the ideal model for lipstick commercials. It seems he has a much bigger fanbase in Thailand than his home country of Korea.

Last and definitely least is (that should get those psycho ELF's something to chuckle about) Super Junior. The overpopulated group (no wonder they're popular in China) was appointed to be the goodwill ambassadors of Korea for the 50th anniversary of the good relations of the two countries - Korea & Thailand. To celebrate the good relations, Super Junior will be heading to Thailand in October to perform and attend some other activities. If I were a Thai official, that would only worsen the relations - but alas Super Junior is popular in Thailand.

I know this post was a bit different than usual, since it's a combined news flash, but they were all related to Thailand. Just think of it as a Thailand redlight district special, you're getting three for the price of one and hopefully not a sausage surprise.

well… i don’t want to be mean but honestly ajoo(and so as some korea singers that came or going to come to thailand soon) is not that big in thailand....i know it because i’m thai...There is a K-wave in thailand right now

Some girls just dont’ care who they are BUT they will go to see them because they are KOREA..That’s it.

and all of the korea star are choose Siam Center to be the place that hold the meeting because it is the best and popular place for teenager to hang out…

if it only have 1000 of fans show up..they can make up the number by counting the people who walked by and went shopping around there as some fans

Ahaha Shindong!

Not surprised really…

Ajoo is actually good at singing, but that THING First Kiss was so ;alkjfoa;wief HORRIBLE since it didn’t match his voice… you’d think that Younha’s company would write songs according to the voice style instead of mainstream pop. Psh… So instead he’s none for those lips which aren’t even that great…

Not that i’m defending anyone, but yeah, the fat jokes...yeah.

Ajoo isn’t my taste, but he isn’t ugly, and i just don’t dig his music.

You know, even though shindong is fat, he’s probably one of the few people in that 13 member group that actually has legit talent.

I feel sorry for shin dong. he always gives off the vibe that he’s not getting enough attention and would do anything for that 2 min spotlight. kinda gets annoying with the other members in suju. but i still like kyuhyun and his doughy eyes~

galadriel : DBSK is the most popular Korean artists ( or even international ) in Thailand all the time (since 2005 when they debuted there ) . SJ is not far behind

Only DBSK, BB, and SuJu can make real money from thai fans. The rest are just free shows in the most populated supercenter.  The balladers never make it here, because we have good thai balladers. Anyway the amount of Korean music lovers is just about 30 to 40 thousands from the total of thai population (~ 70 million). Korean series are really popular in Thailand because everything on TV are popular.

hahahahah i liked this
good job esp the ‘no wonder they’re popular in China’ line teeeeheeee
Thai fans are awesome. Seems like the Thai still buy albums too… They’re not even a first world country so what’s Korea’s excuse? (cheap asses)

I love watching news reports and I see a Korean artist arrive -somewhere- and i see the crowd and think to myself “~How come the fans got attractive all of a sudden???” and whenever i say that I know it’s cuz they’re in Thailand!
...when i say how come the fans look like roadkill it’s usually hong kong or japan xP

Hey what up with “Thais still buy album”?
No to defend Thailand or anything, but the sales in Thailand even for big names like DBSK is not that high. Last I check dbsk was around 3000 max and I checked from one of the most wellknown CD store. But maybe that was enough to bring them here that frequent?
Balladers never make it, because Thai people just loves Pop music most as simple is that. BBringing in Ballads just not worth the promotional cost.Not that we got good ballad singers no, at least there’re only very little amount of them.
And the reason whythey’re so many showed is probably because they’re korean. it’s like if you don’t go see them now, who know when will they come again. It’s just pure curiosity and tell you what I saw the venue and not that much people turned up trust me.(Ajoo’s case that is)

Man that last line in the story about a “sasuage surprise” cracked me up.

@Anorexic it just depends on the fat person, i’m totaly know i’m fat but i’m the first to crack jokes on myself, so you can’t really say al fat people are like that.  I could say since you call yourself Anorexic your as skinny as a crack whore.  Would my comment offend skinny people or crack addicts?

LMAO @ Shindong.
Although you have to admit, he’s great at dancing.
Super Junior has a guy for every single fetish.
You like older men? Leeteuk!
You like girly men? Heechul!
You like fat men? Shindong!
You get my point?
Besides that, why does anyone love the Wonder Girls?
Ajoo is so girly, but his voice is okay.

LOL… you guys’ comments crack me up big time! I have to agree at least Shindong is a good dancer despite the seemingly deceptive/comical appearance. And I think only the BIG names actually make it big in Thailand and HUH said in the 2nd box, the ‘turn-up’ usually include poor netizens just doing passing by in the mall. However, when some 15000 fans show up just for a press conference when TVXQ is in town and the same 15000 attend two nights of concert consecutively, only then I’ll say, “They’ve made it”. By the way, anyone stalking the Dong Bang boys when they hit Bangkok on the 8th of June???

@ Anorexic: of course YOU wouldnt care, just look at ur sn! skinny, stupid, AND shallow..what a nice combo.
There’s a krn wave apparently in the main asian countries...XD
dang, Ajoo rly looks like a girl...0_0’’
that and he reminds me of Se7en...lol at ShinDong’s commment, though i wish ppl would stop making fun of his weight on tv shows when he’s there...it’s rly mean. =/
