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?

    They are in different situations, DBlove. I’m extremely happy for them, they’re like…my favorite music people right now. (Well…either them, or NEWS. But let’s not get into that right now).

    The only time anyone has compared them to international stars is in response to people saying they have the largest fan base in the world…fan CLUB, yeah, ok, but fan BASE, I severely doubt. It’s still a great accomplishment…

  3. 3 classicaldancer February 6, 2008 at 9:14 am

    oh yay there WAS an article written! thanks popseoul….and of course it’s fact :)

    It’s going to be in the 2008 edition by the way. congratulations to them. this is not including the bigeast fans and all the fans not part of fan clubs out there. so kudos to cassiopeia on organization and pulling together such a large group! and it’s true what they say…once you’re a dbsk fan, you’re ALWAYS as dbsk fan :)

    DBSK <3 and congratulations!

  4. 4 Masaya February 6, 2008 at 9:23 am

    heh… international stars? It just means those stars are from the US. If DBSK makes it in the US they’ll be international stars but really they have fans everywhere around the globe.

  5. 5 tomoko February 6, 2008 at 9:38 am

    ah, i love Dong Bang Shin Ki!

    if only their fans weren’t so scary.

    i wonder what would happen if one of the members of TVXQ were to get a girlfriend…? what would the Cassiopeias do?

  6. 7 tomoko February 6, 2008 at 10:00 am

    ^

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

    that just made my day.

  7. 8 Cassidy February 6, 2008 at 10:33 am

    800 000 members?! That’s a lot! Congrats to them, I guess, lol. And I’m not surprised. They’re notorious! And they have been around longer than Super Junior. I think it’s also easier to like smaller groups rather than huge ones.

  8. 9 ange February 6, 2008 at 11:03 am

    Ah!!!!
    that group is deserving to be in the book because they’ve got the largest fan group. Expecting that thing.

  9. 10 jjiyul♥ February 6, 2008 at 11:54 am

    Some people are mentioning that DBSK only won and is listed in the GWB is because of the fact that other stars like Angelina Jolie or whoever didnt start up their own fanclubs.

    That’s too damn bad then. They should’ve started their own fanclubs to make a go at breaking a record too. But with Cassiopeia out there, I don’t think anyone would stand a chance with DBSK.

  10. 11 wish February 6, 2008 at 12:19 pm

    since pple stated that DBSK has the biggest fanbase in Asia then what happen to Rain? his fanbase should be much bigger isnt

    and those crazy Cass actually SPEND their money to registered ever year to be member and not counting more money on the boys bdays, special celebration day and more make up day to celebrate
    NOw that’s is craziiiiieestttt fanbase

    Suju fans more subtle and Suju hasnt spread their wings to Asia yet so cant compare

    Im not DBSK or Suju fans. Im my own fan ahahahahha

  11. 12 kk89 February 6, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    lol if one of the dong bang boys got married…. the 400,000 cassiopeias would commit suicide and the other half would go after the wife….*sigh*

  12. 13 mmmarie February 6, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    dont ever EVER compare dbsk to suju… suju has debuted two years ago yet dbsk has debuted a couple more years ahead of them. after 4 years, dbsk has gathered 800,000 fans and still counting but is this suju’s 4th year already??? besides dbsk has been all over the places, promoting stuff.. theyve been so active in 4 consecutive years. and what about suju? suju needed 1 year and 4 months break cause of the unseen tragic events. popseoul’s being an a**hole again for bringing up suju when this is article is supposed to just talk about the POWER OF CASSIOPEIA! gee, you seriously need to grow up, you 50-year old people!

    and yes the power of cassiopeia is still unbeatable<3

  13. 14 tomoko February 6, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    i think its sad to say… Cassiopeias would support a coupling between the members themselves rather than a coupling with a girl. (-_-)

  14. 15 mmmarie February 6, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    just like wish said: “Suju hasnt spread their wings to Asia yet so cant compare”.

    arrgh im soo mad cuz popseoul is not being soo effing reasonable. he/she just had to bring up suju just for the sake of “hating” them.

  15. 16 ceria February 6, 2008 at 1:16 pm

    when I posted that on livejournal it turned into a huge uproar lol.
    Then we started having doubts but a young lady from UK was able to text them and got the reply that the Asia group tvxq had the largest fanclub

  16. 17 Kitsune February 6, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    GREAT!!

    DBSK HWAITING!!

    I wanna be a Cassiopeia
    but is so expensive X_x

    expensive subscripcion x 800,000 official members
    = a lot of money!!

    it could be cheaper!

  17. 18 idiot February 6, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    why am i not surprised???

  18. 19 idiot February 6, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    oh one more thing….
    DON’T DIS ON MY SUJU BOIZ
    AND ITS TRUE WHAT THE OTHER SAID UP THERE
    THEY DID DEBUT AFTER DBSK SO OF COURSE DBSK IS MORE POPULAR THAN SUJU….
    IT’S COMMON SENSE DUDE…D-U-D-E

    you might as not run into one of them…becuz if you do…
    oooo man i wouldn’t know what they’ll do to your ass
    always dissing on their boiz….
    pathetic lame loser u

  19. 20 Lin February 6, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    that is simply amazing! but i’m really disappointed since they had 800,000 fans but only sold around 350,000 O albums
    it just doesn’t make sense

  20. 21 PEP February 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm

    “DBSK does have a lot of fans BUT i also wonder if some of these Cassiopeians registered numerous accounts on the fanclub, since some of them are quite overly “enthusisastic””

    To be an official Cassiopeian… it’s not a simple matter of filling out a registration form and you’re a member. Members have to register again EVERY year.. and pay the membership fee, which is about $60USD.

    Errr I did state that they were “overly enthusiastic” didnt I? Which could probably mean they wouldn’t hesistate to fork out more than 120 bucks to register every year

  21. 22 blinkable February 6, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    altho i jus read dont dis on my suju boys i still wana say the popseoul comment on suju’s failure to garner more official fans than TVXQ reli funny XD

    Congrats to TVXQ and all the Cassiopeians be it official or non official <333

  22. 23 gtfo_fangirl February 7, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    lol@elves making sorry excuses for the failure of suju boys (don’t get me wrong i love the eye candy even though he can’t act or sing to save his life) .

    Its so funny how people always makes excuses, and lol@E.L.F and ShinwaChangjo, they must be tearing their eyes out of anger because of this Guiness thingo (at least in soompi they are LOL), which isn’t actually that huge of a deal, official fanclubs are only a big deal on Asia is not like dongBang-BB are super popular in the whole world lol.

    I sent my text message too to textperts to show it to my shinhwa fangirl friend, she was sooo pissed off (and they say cassiopeia are lunatics, only cos shinhwa changjo are silent murderers ahaha xD)

  23. 24 gtfo_fangirl February 7, 2008 at 2:02 pm

    @ Wish
    “Since pple stated that DBSK has the biggest fanbase in Asia then what happen to Rain? his fanbase should be much bigger isnt”

    Nope. Rain isn’t really popular now tbh, is something like Boa, everyone knows them but is not like everyone is ‘fan’ of them.

    “and those crazy Cass actually SPEND their money to registered ever year to be member and not counting more money on the boys bdays, special celebration day and more make up day to celebrate
    NOw that’s is craziiiiieestttt fanbase”

    Which planet are you from? You think KooKoo-pea are the only ones doing that? ALL korean fangirls do those stuff.

    “Suju fans more subtle and Suju hasnt spread their wings to Asia yet so cant compare

    Im not DBSK or Suju fans. Im my own fan ahahahahha”

    No, you are an E.L.F in disguise, but we can see right tru you -,- . Because you can really call elves ’subtle’ when they do their Riot thingos outside SM building or when they kill push to suicide random girls. And if you think that’s subtle you should really really really worried about your mental sanity.

    =x

  24. 25 Jangmi February 8, 2008 at 7:31 am

    Oh that’s cool for them (and dbsk) if its true ^^

    But one thing, why compare Suju’s fan to Dbsk’s one ? why compare DBSK & Suju?
    Super junior has been there for only 2 years, they are focused only on S.Korea for the moment so why bring the Elves into this article??
    If you are hating them, then just hate but don’t say nonesense like this….

    Anyway Suju & DBSK fighting ^^

  25. 26 jOLyN February 8, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    cassiopeia really did a lot for TVXQ..
    im a TVXQ fans…
    n

    is not fair…

    n
    congrats oppa!!
    i noe u guys can do it
    chukahaeyo!!!

  26. 27 dana February 10, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    Who would be surprise?! they are just the best in everything…would you even be surprise, if one day they will be considered as the Best Boyband in the world…they’re actually getting there^^

    I wonder when their success will stop…not that I want to…

    Oh well…I’m not a Cassiopeian and will never be one…but I love my DBSK =3……………….^^

  27. 28 razilia February 11, 2008 at 2:39 am

    I wanna believe it’s a fact…and to consider that there are still a lot of us not registered from around the world. But I do hope the official details about this will come out very soon.

  28. 29 hmmm February 11, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    dbsk is too conservative

    super junior is funnier and they show more personality…whether they’re real or fake

    as for the fans, it’s crazy to waste money just to be in the fanbase. America doesn’t have those stuff…I don’t think haha

  29. 30 ihavenolife February 11, 2008 at 6:42 pm

    but funny-ness is not the only reason why DBSK gets fans. they’re actually pretty funny most of the time, but we love them cause of so many other reasons.

    Just because fan clubs don’t exist in the states doesn’t mean their stupid or meaningless. 800 000 registered members is pretty awesome, regardless of anything else.

    If people can spend money buying concert merchandise, or fan merchandise for anything else like sports, i don’t see how it’s stupid.

    For cassiopeians, it’s a show of support.
    If the elves managed this, i’m sure you’d be happy about the accomplishment just as much as cassiopeians are in this case.

  30. 31 haha February 12, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    Yeah I know what you mean lol. As for the elves accomplishing these things…I dont think I would care so much for it haha these stuff are not really a big deal in the U.S. anyways.

  31. 32 juliezarene February 13, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    i believed this so hopefully but then…

    me and my friends already scanned every bit of the book but no DBSK word can be seen wherever you may search it!!!

    i totally believe that there are so many fans and i am totally one of them but please don’t disappoint us.. i’m depressed already!

    loving DBSK still! hope this is true though…

    conclusion: ugh. fiction

  32. 33 sushi.yang February 16, 2008 at 5:47 pm

    i never thought they put such thing in the Guinness world record. hahahaha guess i need to open my eyes moer lols

    Why u calling SUJU “super mob” gosh, RESPECT!! ha i bet u dont even have any. at least suju is still getting to be known they’ve only been here for two years i think and dbsk is 5 now.

    gosh, it’s been that long already? no wonder they have they most fans *nods* yeaps. DBSK is the what i call TRUE IDOLS. they got everything and can do anything!

    so i do think it is true but i need to check i’m not really into those guinness world record. even though i knew people trying to break a record.

  33. 34 --- February 17, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    “made it on the 2008 Guinness World Records ”

  36. 37 ahhh February 23, 2008 at 8:33 am

    someone said dbsk is too conservative and suju are the funny guys? i don’t think they’re too conservative…they’re serious when they work and they have fun when they’re not on camera. that’s how professionals are.

    i’m not saying i don’t like suju’s playfulness or anything, but i think they’re mainly popular because of the silly stuff they do. but keep in mind: suju are singers, not comedians. they have to stick to singing if they want to be labeled as singers.

    congrats to dbsk!

  37. 38 sara A February 24, 2008 at 5:52 am

    HMM. My guess was true as well. Popseoul is a DBSK fan base. No wonder poseoul keep bashing suju for their DBSK oppas. Little cassopians are this mean. Even though I like DBSK as well but I cant see popseoul keep bashing suju. Lille cassopias.

    It’s all phoney to me.

    I mean, is this weird to say, but think Britney spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey, gosh, even Whitney houston.

    Their fanbase is smaller than DBSK??? I mean, puh-leases!!!

  41. 42 jaelune March 10, 2008 at 5:31 pm

    its so freaking true!!! there’s this service available in britain where you can text them on the latest world records. there was a dispute on soompi about this…and somebody on LJ settled it out. which should make every tvxq fan proud. i mean, those were only the official ones… XD

  42. 43 Cath March 11, 2008 at 6:53 am

    I don’t get why a lot of people are saying that ELFs or SUJU fans are crying over this news. I’m a SUJU fan (although not an official ELFs) and I’m not crying my heart out or even care about this.

    “They have more than twice the members and they failed to gather twice as many fans.” => just because SUJU has more members than DBSK doesn’ mean they have to gather twice as many fans. It’s like saying since DBSK is five people, so they have to have wayyyy (five times more) more fans than Boa or Elvis presley.

    Also, the fact that DBSK has way more fan doesn’t mean anything. SUJU is better in every way than DBSK for me. I said “for me” only, so if you a DBSK fan or cassiopeia, no need to bash me down or trash talk. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

  43. 44 randomdbskfan March 12, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    as awesome as it would be for this to be true… i can’t find this in this year’s book of world records.

    POPSEOUL FAILED AS A RESOURCE FOR KOREAN ENTERTAINMENT AND STYLE.

    You know it.

  45. 46 lord_jedi March 21, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    First of all, this news is true. Second, how come you compared DBSK and SuJu popularity when DBSK debuted 2 years earlier than SuJu? Of course DBSK is much more popular internationally. If SuJu’s fan is as much as them, it’s an insult for them instead since their dongsaeng in music industry is much more popular and successful than them.

    SuJu is following the same success than DBSK experience. Just give them time, they will prove to everybody that they can be like DBSK. Many doubt of their success when they early debuted but they instead prove everybody wrong AGAIN and AGAIN.

    And SuJu does not intend to be only singers. Since their members are a lot, they also ventures in other things as well, not only focusing on music. DBSK care if people can them idols instead of singers. But not SuJu since they also expert in other areas as well.

    ~ BTW, I heard how biased PopSeoul is. I guess it’s true after all….

  46. 47 JesS March 24, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    yea!!
    of course it’s true!!!
    i’m so proud of these boys!!
    they really rocks!!
    n that’s really only the official ones…
    think of how many unofficial ones outside there… =)

  47. 48 Mei_fang March 26, 2008 at 10:57 am

    @lord_jedi
    yes i agree with you… TVXQ is more experienced than suju… they have been in entertainment industry 2 years longer than suju… now what suju get is like what tvxq get in 2005-2006… please they will doing more activities in China and Taiwan this year… same like what TVXQ did in Japan in 2006…

    so to all SUJU antifans please shut up, esp. POPSEOUL…

    SO BAD AND UNLUCKY TO HAVE A CASSIOPEIA LIKE YOU!!

  48. 49 nette March 26, 2008 at 12:44 pm

    ngawww i read one of the comments which is way up there ^ lols
    and it said they werent in the 2008 edition

    and do you know waht i did. i looked in the 2006 – 2008 edition and i couldnt find them and i took my time and wasted time just to find them ROFL

  49. 50 superjunior13 March 28, 2008 at 5:42 am

    Pfft, they didn’t make it into the book. Why? I wasted my time looking through that book and did I find them? Nope. These are lies. I mean, yeah DBSK has a large fanbase, but I’m sure there are tons of singers that have a large one. And why are you ALWAYS comparing DBSK to Super Junior? Super Junior has only been around for a while! they’ve just recently debuted in 2005, and DBSk debuted in.. ( dunno and don’t care.) Super Junior will show all of Asia their true talents. once they spread their wings, all of Asia will realize how good they are. SuJu may lack vocal talents, but they are handsome, and very well known. I think suju is the most kindest, loving, boy band in all of Asia. Take it from an E.L.F.
