I haven’t actually been to Japan since they suddenly got very big there, but judging from the fact that sometimes during The Chaser promotions there were significantly more Japanese fans than Korean (at most it was like at least 100 foreign, mostly Japanese, and 15 Korean) they’re doing very well.
Also, one of my Japanese friends who literally does not care about K-pop at all and sort of hated it for a while contacted me a few months back being like “Hey, Shelbi… This Infinite group is the one you like, right? I like their song…” about BTD. :3
I’m really proud of them. ;^; I do complain about the Japanese fans a lot but most of what you guys hear from me is the bad things… there are a lot of sweet ones, just the bad ones stand out so much more…
