Fact or Fiction? Cassiopeias on Guinness World Records

Dbsk_200801_popseoul

Reports that Cassiopeias, DBSK’s loyal fans, made it on the 2008 Guinness World Records as the largest fan group of an artist with 800,000 members started to spread early today, with many forums and bloggers reporting the “news.” But I have yet to see anything official confirming this glory to the Cassiopeias.

So is this fact or fiction?

If this is in fact true, then this is a huge slap on the face to the super mob aka Super Junior. They have more than twice the members and they failed to gather twice as many fans. No wonder the Elves have no weight with SM in their battle to prevent addition of new members in Super Junior.

And if this turns out to be fiction, we know who has the craziest fanbase out there.

So what do you think? Did Cassiopeias really get on Guinness World Records or is this just another case of fans gone wild?

  1. 1 DBSK truth March 29, 2008 at 3:55 am

    Just accept it.
    DBSK is bigger than SuJu,
    1) debuted earlier
    2)ACTUALLY CAN SING
    3)Dance better

    who knows maybe SuJu can get better….
    but i doubt it as long as they are in the era of DBSK.

    p.s. some of you guys mentioned how
    you hate POPSEOUL or how its so biased,
    the truth hurts.
    go away then.

    @ Superjunior13- It’s gonna be in the 2009 editon, retard.

    Popseoul, use some common sense. Of course DBSK is going to be more popular. They’ve been in the K-pop industry for a longer time than Suju. They debuted 2 years earlier.

    @DBSK Truth- I actually think DBSK and Suju are kinda matched in dance, because there are two main dancers in DBSK (Junsu and Yunho) and there are four main dancers in Suju (DongHae, Hankyung, Eunhyuk and Shindong). Since Suju has about twice as many members, I’d say they’re evenly matched.

    I do think that DBSK sings better though. Suju has 13 members and three main vocals (KRY). DBSK has only 5 members and three good vocals (JaeJoong, Junsu, and Changmin). I’m sorry to those who think otherwise, but Yunho and Yoochun can’t sing very well.

    First of all, this is true, though it was not published in the Guiness World Records books. Guiness World Records acknowledges that DBSK has acquired the largest fanclub in the world, however.

    If you want proof, here it is: read this article by J-Ent

    As for my opinion, I’m happy for them^^
    Unofficial fan as I may be, I’m still a fan and they deserve the recognition^^

    AHHA LOVE IT..THE PIX SOOooOO KOOL..LUV THE T THAT SONG IS PRETTY KOOL

  11. 11 amy August 19, 2008 at 7:50 am

    800,000 is HUGE, this is not their entire fanbase…these are the ones that PAY 50-60 us dollars every year…and Cassiopeias only open to Koreans its closed to internatial ones…And its a FACT. =]

  12. 12 Izzy September 21, 2008 at 11:00 am

    So it’s true then =D
    Congrats to DBSK!!!!! >_<

    Lawl…. Poor SuJu. They’d probably never be able to get such a crazy huge fanbase unless if all 13 of the members could ACTUALLY sing well.

    But DBSK is the BOMB.
    Man, crazy fangirls. I’m a desperate fangirl for them too, but I can’t join Cassiopeia… because I’m not in Korea, and I don’t have so many opportunities to follow the f boys all over the place with fancams.

  13. 13 kpoplover4ever September 26, 2008 at 10:58 am

    is this REALLY TRUE??
    my friend told me H.O.T. had a larger fan club, but idk

    guess we’ll have to wait for the book o be published(?)

    hello i have one of the copy of Guinness 2008
    and i didn’t See Their name and the The WORLD LARGEST FANBASE. i think its a Fiction and one more thing why this Author of This News Bashed Super Junior

    SUper jUNIOR and DBSK are Great Friend Since They are in High Skul OK

  15. 15 Iris December 21, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    Popseoul, your comments really are so stupid sometimes.
    TVXQ have been around a lot longer than Super Junior, so it’s no “slap on the face” to the Elves. Plus member size and fan numbers are not exactly correlated.

  16. 16 eechiyoo March 19, 2009 at 5:37 am

    I agree with you Iris, and the others.
    Is it really necessary to constantly bash on SuJu?

    Holy crap.
    Popseoul, your ALWAYS comparing them.
    Honestly I think SuJu members have better personalities.
    They might not sing better, but I enjoy watching them more than DBSK. Even though I still love DBSK……
    And I think Eunhyuk can dance better than Yuhno too.

    Both bands are good.
    Really.
    Stop comparing them, and bashing on SuJu….
    It’s not needed. T____T
    Grow up Popseoul.

  17. 17 lucy1313 May 9, 2009 at 5:56 am

    some of you, and especially POPSEOUL must don’t know TVXQ and SuperJunior are great friends since they’ve been together before debut, also in Korea, Cassiopeias and E.L.F.s are known good friends.
    I think you overreacted not knowing what is in between TVXQ and SuperJunior.
    They are both great groups. Why do we have to be against each other that this group is good, this group is bad?
    I congratz Cassiopeias for winning the Guinness World Records,
    and POPSEOUL, to tell you, it’s not Elves. It’s E.L.F. If you want to use the fanclub name, please know what it’s called.

    • 18 flyingmushroom July 16, 2009 at 2:20 pm

      Well, considering E.L.F can be taken is the actual word ELF, it would stand reason that anybody with a good grip of English can literally call them Elves (plural for elf)… if you want to be really technical then they are E.L.F.s but… it’s probably easier just to type elves.

      It’s like calling the Cassiopeias “Cassies”, technically if you want to shorten it you’d have to say “Cassis” but anyone with a decent grip of English will know it’s more spelling-correct to add the e after the i :P
