HELLO!



This is a thread to discuss the possibility/feasibility of non-korean/japanese speaking supporters of DBSK/TVXQ to set up a Cassiopeia International Site on our own (since we are conviently overlooked haha).

First things first, the goal of the site is to bring together all the english speaking fans together since we are mostly dispersed all over the world thus resulting in us being small in numbers. My main aim is to just form a site where any english speaking fan can feel comfortable and at home at since we are constantly being overlooked in contrast to the China/Korea/Japan markets

I mean, ultimately, if we do have a site, its to make DBSK supporters happy and not sad so I really don't want this to turn into a big catfight even if nothing comes out of it.


I Know there are already tons of website around floating. So if the idea of doing an internatoinal website is scrapped, maybe we can do a onestop site that everyone can go to so that they can easily find what they want. We'll see how it goes!







A Few Rules:

1) No bashing of any DBSK members, forum members or ideas

2) If you are not a DBSK supporter and not interested in this, please don't post anything at all!

3) Suggestions, ideas, participation is always welcome.


More rules will come as I go on. See ya!

=======================


I just want to say, thanks for all the messages, seems like there is alot of positive indication regarding setting up a really international Cassiopeia(argh) site.

One of the members have message me and told me that they already have this idea and the site is up and to be launched this week. I am not sure how and who is it targetted at (she is included in this message) and have asked her for more information.


If we do have a site, it would be alot of heart, soul, effort and committment because I don't want just another site full of photos and scans etc. I want it to be something to make DBSK sit up and realize 'hey! We really DO have a big base of non Japanese/Korean speaking fans all around the world'.

I guess the problem is that when dispersed all around the world, we are small in numbers. Geographically, it is definitely impossible for us to come together and have a fan base large enough for them to come to us and hold a concert, but at least in the world of the internet, we can still rule by numbers if we join forces

Ok I sound like some star wars warrior going into a war

Let's see what this other member has to say about her site alright?

No matter what happens, I am really really KEEN on my project, which is to have a site with photos of all the fans around the world wearing red with a message for DBSK/TVXQ (or whatever) collated together

So let's see how it goes.

Thanks so much for dropping me a message. I thought I would be ignored haha so it's great to know that people ARE keen on this, whether be it to work on it or to participate.

seems like a great idea to have a site for cass people who are not in korea or japan that makes good sense^^ you should def go for it! it would be cool to do a concert online...!

[Moon_Sprinkles]

I love the idea of being able to show just how suportive internatinol fans are of DBSK, becouse where i live nobody knows them at all, but i don't know how much use i would be...wouldn't it be great if there was a way to let the boys know we are out there, I mean it would give them such a boost i think, I would love to be able to voice my suport for them and at some point in the end them actually know we are out there LOL

[Freshh]

but shouldn't we put this thread in the korean music section?
or we can just join the dbsk fan page on soompi

[Moon_Sprinkles]

But this isn't about the DBSK thread on Soompi (which is a great thread) right? isn't this about creating a new site that i guess maybe count the numbers of DBSK fans in the world there are?

[Yangie12]

Oh, that's cool! Because, yes, we're usually overlooked because we obviously don't live in Asia. It's already sad enough for us to not be able to go to their concerts and fan meetings. I'm sure that the Dong Bang boys know that they have international fans..But I bet they can't imagine how many they actually have! We must create a site that stands out between the hundreds others. And I hope, eventually, it will reach the boys.

[Vanny92]

I love the idea, but I just wanted to say that the boys already know how big their international fanbase is, judging from the J-Ent thingy. That was a huuuuuuuuuge project and the boys have seen it, I think.

[capri-shiqi]

Seems like a pretty good idea. =)

Don't worry.. you aren't ignored.

will come back and check frequently if there's any update or if you need any help, just drop me a PM?

Cause I'm somehow doing a similar project like yours with some of the other Singaporeans.
*I am afraid I might get ignored too. lol*

But for the project we're doing, it's a site for Singaporean to gather and for us to estimate around how many TVXQ fans are there in Singapore, it will be launched around this weekend!

Maybe in future, we could work with each other if your project is launch! ^^

Just dropped me a PM or add me on msn!

ermm. i'm fine with it.:)but cassiopeia are already consider international isn't it?unless you mean bigeast.TT

[saoirseangel]

I see we're really going to do it, Yay! It's a great idea because there are just so many of us that are so far away from the boys that we don't really get the chance to show just how much we love them too. I think 2008 should be the year that we show the true power of the fans outside of Asia! *cue inspirational music*

*cough*...Sorry, I was having a moment there but I do believe it hehe. Anyway, so is the user that you spoke to, the one who is already making the site, willing to have other people help her or colaborate with her?

[juliane17]

This is so GREAT!!!!

i'm gonna visit this always!
haha..

I hope Philippine fans would be known as well...

[cookiedough]

Hi guys!

Just reading some of your posts and I want to clarify a few things haha.

How this thread started and why this is posted under "Discussion" is because I am not exactly sure if there IS already an international site going aorund.

I know DBSK probably knows they have an international fan base and I know there are tons of sites going around for you to send stuff to them to do birthday projects and what not.

My idea is slightly different actually.

It was to be a site where people can go in and see a collage or many photos of all the dbsk fans around the world maybe like dressed in red holding a message for them.


Just to give an example, in my university, it has become a tradition to jump in the air after a successful series of advertising which featured our students jumping mid air. Ever since then, I found out that many students on their own have been secretly taking their own 'jumping' photos whenever they travelled all over the world doing student exchanges or school/business trips.

Hence I started a facebook group which said "Jump if you are from XXuniversity" and the response has been quite overwhelming considering my school is pretty young and our population is small.

Below are screen shots of the photos in the group where you can see my school students jumping all over the world. We have about 180 over photos and in the first mth it started, it grew by 100 members each month for 6 months consecutively. We now have over 800 members from our school in it which is really great considering how tiny our sch pop is!




(Hope no one from my school sees this or they are going to figure out who i am!)


NOW IMAGINE!!
A similar idea but its a site/page filled with DBSK fans dressed in red, doing their 'thing' with their messages! I think the guys will find it amusing actually. Haha! And it will be a continuous thing where any fan who wants to submit their photos can do so anytime they want and not a one-off thing where ifyou missed the deadline to submit your stuff to send to the guys, you're screwed.


And this is the kinda idea I have in my head. Something that is slightly humourous, easy to implement, and if the guys ever get to hear about this site, its a site they can easily check out for themselves no matter which part of the world they are in!

=====================================================


The whole part about doing an international site only came out because someone else mentioned it. I am not sure how many sites exists that are dedicated to international fans (international here meaning the mostly english speaking fans who are in main non-asian area of the world)

Personally, I am in asia, I speak english and Mandarin and can understand abit of japanese so having an international site to me is not of paramount importance since I can easily log onto any China/Singapore site to check out their news. If this idea is too much of a hassle, then of course we won't have it!


If someone else already has it, even better! Now it's time to announce it and make it big!


But yeah, personally I really really WANT to have that project which I mentioned to be an ongoing and fun thing for all DBSK supporters and also for the guys if they ever do get to hear of it (the point is to make it crazy and funny and big enough so that they DO hear of it hahaha!)

Hope you guys understand my idea

Don't bash me ok!! I am just an innocent party bringing this up!!!!

[saoirseangel]

Ahh, okay I see now haha
So it'll just be a site for people to post pictures of themselves in red in various parts of the world? Sort of like the J!-ENT article then? That's still a pretty good idea and it'll make it easier for the boys to check it out. I'm still up to helping you if you need it

Yeah SOMETHING along that line!! (Thanks so much for offering to help btw!! I am definitely accepting it if we are going to do this haha)

Btw what's the J!-ENT article thing about? update me! I am clueless!

For my school specifically, it was the 'jumping' action which differentiated us from other universities. But for this site, anything goes! we could even have various themes going on..? I dont know!

I mean.....we could be retarded and mimic their poses (like the first photo in the first entry of this thread haha).

We could be getting every single fan to put a sad face compiled into a collage with a message like "we're sad that you're not coming to see us" (HAHA kidding).

We could have everyone doing's junsu's angel pose. or charisma look.

And all the other nonsense.

it's just a fun idea to entertain ourselves and the guys and to make it light hearted and humorous.

they are plenty of sites which have their videos, songs, lyrics, photos of the guys so to me, i don't really think its necessary to have all those included if we were to have a site for all the fans to come together. even soompi itself has the latest updated news and photos of the boys and I think its better than any individual dbsk site we can ever have!

so this site is more like for.. us?

teeheehee.

ok i have to sleep. join u guys tomo!

love!

I think this is a wonderful idea.
Tvxq knows about international fans but we are all scattered around the globe. If we come together, it would make a greater impact and Tvxq would notice the support they have internationally.

I think i understand what cookiedough is getting at with her idea.
More than just an Tvxq informative site, it would potray more of the support of international fans (correct me if i'm wrong.lol)
I think it would be great if those 'jumping' university pictures translate to those of international fan.
Compile it together in one site, it would create a boomm effect.

i hope this idea would be success.

Edit:^^ J-ent site had a project whereby fans around the globe post up pics of themselves on the site and show their support for Tvxq. But i think it was a one-of thing since they have a date due to submit the photos.
