DBSK is loved by Japanese ajummas

0909 dbsk

There is no age barrier when it comes to Japanese ajummas. A recent survey by Oricon News revealed that DBSK’s die hard fans in Japan are not teenagers, but ajummas in their forties. The percentage of ajummas who heard DBSK’s single and intend to purchase the album exceed any other age group.

DBSK members were probably shivering as they read the news - and who wouldn’t at the thought becoming boy-toys for lonely ajummas who are old enough to be their moms! But in grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter who their fans are as long as their are raking in the yens.

    Who cares? SM would even care less! They’re the one that can afford it, not teeny-weenies. For example, Japanese ahjummas were also the ones that paid Rain’s expensive concert VIP ticket for $600 at Tokyo Dome.

    wow~ i find that
    kind of creepy…
    but anywayz,
    DBSK HWAITING!

  4. 4 hannaban September 9, 2007 at 1:08 pm

    yeah, they’ll be loved by ahjummas while ss501 has all the teenagers!

  5. 5 Kelly September 9, 2007 at 1:10 pm

    So? Rain is also popular with middle age women.

  6. 6 annon September 9, 2007 at 1:15 pm

    hahah good for them. this is so facineting. ajummas chasing DBSK wont they be afraid they will get a heart attack chasing after them?

  7. 7 Pualani September 9, 2007 at 1:20 pm

    hahahaha…funny yet cute! DBSK is loved by all age groups!!Love them!

  8. 8 mut September 9, 2007 at 1:23 pm

    Old news…old news…why do you think there is no crazy fangirl who try to kill themself by throwing their body in front of DBSK’s cars in Japan? Coz they’re older and have more rational mind to do something so stupid. And they actually BUY the singles and albums. Not just rip them off of internet like Korean’s teenagers done. God bless these ajumma-deul.

  9. 9 susan September 9, 2007 at 1:34 pm

    srsly. that’s just fab.

  10. 10 junsufan September 9, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    I think it’s good..cause the ahjummas can buy whatever they want..since they have the $$$ while the teens need to beg for money..XD it’s so different..Japan & Korea..XD
    Yunho once kissed an ahjumma fan in Japan because she wanted him to kiss her..lucky fan..if i asked for that..he probably wouldn’t do so since i’m a teen..-___-

  11. 11 swtaznlaydee September 9, 2007 at 1:49 pm

    i think grownups started loving dbsk when they did a remake of “balloons” yeah. that’s why korean artists go to japan because of more profit. <3

  12. 12 amabelle September 9, 2007 at 1:55 pm

    lol. boytoys. good stuff.

  13. 13 XiaoXi September 9, 2007 at 2:02 pm

    Maybe that’s true in Japan, but here in California, there are lots of tween girls hot for DBSK–not all of them Asian, either.

  14. 14 Sang Kyu September 9, 2007 at 2:10 pm

    did the survey take into account stuff like… the older ladies have the money to buy the single. so even though, like, say thsk have tons of fans under the age of 25, those girls dont have an income and may not be able to buy the singles, ya?
    maybe a survey saying “do you like thsk, yes or no.” would be more telling of their actual fans age groups?

  15. 15 mireclehappen September 9, 2007 at 2:19 pm

    is good for them lah..cos they are earning $$$…support them forever!!

  16. 16 Jane September 9, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    these boys are hot lol
    love the scenes where they’re dancing on the water puddles

  17. 17 kimchee smile September 9, 2007 at 2:23 pm

    guys get real^^ all these korean artist have ajumma fans whether you like it or not. stop denying and complaining. japanese market for korean entertainers helps a lot. v(^_^)v

  18. 18 annexiah_25 September 9, 2007 at 2:45 pm

    DBSK doesn’t nid 2 worry enimore becoz here in the philippines they are lived by teenagers especially girls..

  19. 19 Sarah September 9, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    haha wow.
    O.O
    but i do have to agree with the comments above.
    Rain does have the most ajumma fans.
    I mean when I went to his concert.
    All I saw were ajummas with their short perms LOL

  20. 20 eli September 9, 2007 at 4:06 pm

    ^lol!

    i didnt see anything bad about it.
    even though they are ajummas, they’re still their fans. :)

  21. 21 --- September 9, 2007 at 4:27 pm

    HEY! Ahjummas have much more money than teenages. HAHA.
    Thats a good thing then! AND Maybe those “ahjummas” know how to control themselves and doesn’t try to tear dbsk into shreds.

  22. 22 Amia September 9, 2007 at 4:51 pm

    I don’t know if people are aware but “ajummas” or older fans in general are the ones who make the singles number one, who buy merchandise, etc.

    Have you seen any Johnny’s concert clips? The majority of the audience are women in their 40s. This also goes for Hello!Project. Older male fans are the ones who spend money. So yeah, this isn’t shocking.

    Younger fans might love them & find them cute but most don’t have money to buy countless albums, photobooks,etc. That’s were the oldies come in.lol

  23. 23 han September 9, 2007 at 5:04 pm

    well these boys ARE hot.. :3
    i’m pretty sure they have lots of young fans too..it’s just that youngsters are more fond of downloading music off the net these days…
    i think it does them good that they have more ahjooma fans who actually support them..who cares about old women thinking of them as their boytoys, they can dream all they like…

  24. 24 jyyjc September 9, 2007 at 5:23 pm

    they don’t only have ahjumma fans they have ahjussi and little boy fans too. i’ve seen it. anywayyyy i love love love love dbsk!!

  25. 25 Galbi September 9, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    Soon enough the Popseoul girls will be ajummas…I wonder how much they will like being called ajummas…in a derogatory way.

  26. 26 Vanessaly September 9, 2007 at 6:44 pm

    LOL, well here is a teen who loves DBSK…..but yeah is also broke as heck(^.-)

  27. 27 TVXQ_FANS September 9, 2007 at 7:13 pm

    they shud felt proud instead…
    they r love by all range of age..
    hahax
    most of their die-hard fans in south east asia n korea r teens

  28. 28 lol September 9, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    i told you!
    i wrote a comment on ur post about the legend and this boy band group…
    and what did i wrote there?
    exactly this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    they should really thank YJ oppa…

    agin, i live in japan 3rd yr hS… and no one in my classmates know about them.

  29. 29 lazybum September 9, 2007 at 9:02 pm

    lol, i reckon they’d like a change to their usual fanbase of crazy teens in Korea. and like everyone’s said, these people are the ones with more buying power, and less likely to rip off the net. as long as there is profit, who cares who the fanbase is XD

  30. 30 Di September 9, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    AHAHAHA that’s hilarious and cute
    at least they make enough to feed themselves :p
    *loves ahjummas* XD

  31. 31 Aya September 9, 2007 at 9:59 pm

    Hahaha
    I listen to you DBSK have faith!

  32. 32 mike September 9, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    unlike Super Junior, DBSK can combine like Voltron and actually make an big impact.

  33. 33 Jaz September 9, 2007 at 11:02 pm

    it’s cool that they can even capture ajumma’s attention…
    ajummas in my country always said that they look like a girl..They don’t know that’s what we call handsome!!XD

    awww…ahjumma’s are very cute..i really find it kawaaii that they like dbsk, rain and other korean celebs..i agree that they have more buying powers than us teens that are broke most of the time and cant buy all their products.

    anyways, i’m happy for dbsk coz they got the supports that they needed.i may not be able to buy all their albums and merchandises, but i’m sure gonna mention them to all my friends^^ they’re popular at my place but mostly to the chinese communities…

    LOVE DONG BANG SHIN KI ALWAYS ^_^ (oh yeah, i’m not a crazy teen dat will shred them into pieces..so dont worry^^)

  36. 36 Aya September 10, 2007 at 12:18 am

    Damn they sound so effin japanese boyband in that vid. Kind of sounds like their vocals were enhanced to sound more japanese. Peeps like se7en and Shinhwa dont even sound that Japanese. Boa either and she’s been in the jpop scene for years. Its wierd.

  37. 37 Aya September 10, 2007 at 12:19 am

    “All the Suju members are fugly!”
    Sorry but Siwon is the farthest from fugly a man can be. You must have cataracts. The rest, yeah. Not too cute.

  38. 38 torii September 10, 2007 at 1:49 am

    err….i miss them being koreans…i think suju and dbsk should both be able to survive in the korean scene. If one’s really gotta go, i’d rather wave bye to suju

  39. 39 bebetama September 10, 2007 at 2:47 am

    Im 22 n Im a fan so why not ajumma?
    DBSK rocks my socks^^

  40. 40 thegreencrayon September 10, 2007 at 3:07 am

    DBSK forever! I think their last korean album was suppose to aim at all age groups. It doesn’t matter whether they are ajummas are not =) DBSK fighting!

  41. 41 lalala September 10, 2007 at 3:44 am

    hahaha that just proves how loved DBSK is by all types of people.. it doesn’t matter where you’re from, how old you are, everyone just adores them :)

  42. 42 hearmeroar September 10, 2007 at 4:42 am

    whatever, the ahjummas are the ones with all the $$$
    so ahjumma fans are a good thing, yeah?
    btw, apparently xiah junsu is in BRAZIL right now with boa shooting an anycall CF (and being in an anycall cf is freaking awesome!!!)… which is why he wasn’t at his manager’s wedding in korea with the rest of the dbsk members…
    and the rest of the boys are going to france in a couple of days (doing what? i have no idea), and junsu will join them there.

  43. 43 tangy September 10, 2007 at 6:23 am

    cute mv….the girl’s so pretty!

    haha f4 was loved by mostly middle aged women too

  44. 44 x bubbletea September 10, 2007 at 7:16 am

    saranghae dbsk<333
    i happen to think it’s awesome that dbsk is catching attention to all age groups. it shows how versatile they are and how their music can impact a lot. DBSK HWAITINGGG!<333

  45. 45 junsu_luver September 10, 2007 at 7:54 am

    dbsk is loved by everyone so yeah..wooh GO TVXQ,i LOVEE shine its so good!!!

  46. 46 40something TVXQ fan September 10, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    I’m in the demographic mentioned.. and have to say that I first saw them on Youtube singing First Noel and One.. and then Begin. I thought their voices were beautiful. Then saw them on variety shows/banjuns which were hilarious. The main reason I’m a fan is their hard work - their schedules are so demanding and you have to admire that, even if you don’t like their looks. Their individual hard work (learning languages, composing music etc.), teamwork, the ability for 5 to sound as 1 voice, their musical talents all are reasons I’m a fan - looks are last on the list because I’m not obsessing over them as boytoys or potential mates. I wish more American singers had the work ethics these 5 have, I’d support them too.

  47. 47 mut September 10, 2007 at 2:43 pm

    @ 40something TVXQ fan

    Exactly! Their hardwork is what keep me attracted to them more and more. They’re like what my slap of reality and people that I actually look up to.

  48. 48 Leelee September 10, 2007 at 4:25 pm

    So I should blame the ahjummas for buying “Summer Dream” and making that sad excuse for a song number one? Good; at least the credibility of the Japanese youth comes back. XD

    Honestly, I love DBSK, but they need to come back to Korea. Their Japanese singles don’t showcase their amazing voices as much as they should. :/

  49. 49 kris September 10, 2007 at 5:23 pm

    I’m not really surprised after reading some A-nation’s fan reports. But still interesting to know with some figures xD! Furthermore, DBSK once said they were kind of shocked to see the range of ages of japanese fans.

    At least the ajummas have good tastes ^o^

    I <3 DBSK~~

  50. 50 ` esther. September 10, 2007 at 6:30 pm

    wow. this is awesomely cool.
    they are loved by the ajummas
    which kinda means tt their quality is GOOD.
    well, THEY ARE !!!
    imma fan of dbsk too,
    at first i fell for their looks
    but later i love their talents too.
    they are rlly good !!!
    seriously.
    DBSK HWAITING !!! <3

  51. 51 yoomi23 September 10, 2007 at 6:48 pm

    hahaha…thats nice…
    so the rumor is nothing but rumors…
    DBSK will not be disbanded!!!!
    yooo DBSK!!! GO GO GO!

    even here in our country,
    i know some fans in their late 30’s…^^
    DBSK catchy songs are catching women’s heart..by storm!

  52. 52 b0mii September 10, 2007 at 8:52 pm

    LOL.. i`m so delighted & so proud of the boys earning lots of fans since 2004..
    DBSK hwaiting!

  53. 53 Rick September 11, 2007 at 5:35 am

    As a Decent-Looking, Fit Korean Guy I should go to Tokyo and bang some Japanese Milf’s.

  54. 54 haj September 11, 2007 at 7:36 am

    did u notice, jaejoongs hair is xiah HUG hairdo? i don’t like it this song b/c its in japanese and i cant understand it (and i think jaejoongs, voice sounds weird in Japanese) th mv is so dark for such a bright song, and i just don’t like dbsg’s bright pop prince songs in general. and don’t criticize me for not being a real fan, b/c i like them for their music, not as a person. which makes sense since i dont kno them.

  55. 55 Kawaiicherry September 11, 2007 at 11:48 am

    lol its cute.
    Tho i think its cuz teens are more likely to download music than actually buying stuff. Ajummas are the ones with actually money. haha DBSK is just loved.

    But i really miss them doing their korean stuff.

  56. 56 Gwen September 15, 2007 at 12:41 pm

    Awwww! The rabid fangirls are FINALLY growing up. I wish..

  57. 57 Anne September 16, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    lol…those obaachans should be taking care of their kids instead of fangirling over the same boybands

  58. 58 sandy September 22, 2007 at 6:33 am

    gosh i ove their japanese song its sooo good

  59. 59 hmong girl from america September 25, 2007 at 7:56 am

    i kant beleive they sing japapnese too…..dont get me wrong here but i live on the other side of the world where u guys r and i hardly get to know about these things so yea im really excited.

  60. 60 Yuki no hana September 25, 2007 at 9:07 am

    LOL
    JJ and i were chatting bout that….
    he was mostly like.. O.O ..* didn’t see that coming*

    but it is the best album i think i have heard from them…^^

    but..i also think the ajummas should be taking care of their kids…not ht eguys they wish were their kids….

  61. 61 YaHa October 3, 2007 at 10:35 am

    creepy…. *shivers*

  62. 62 sandy October 9, 2007 at 1:08 am

    yey u put their mv back on i love this song

  63. 63 sandy October 9, 2007 at 1:10 am

    what does yuki no hana stand for?…..

  64. 64 Karne October 14, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    Japan teens tend to like Johnny’s Junior type groups anyway. College kids like J-rockers…..

    So…..ajjummas love the cuteness of THSK boys and want to pinch their cheeks……on their faces ^^
