This is all the good quotes I'm using as examples for my teacher. Everyone had really good ones D: so unfortunately I had a cut a few. I'M SORRY IF I CUT YOURS D:
( You're all a bunch of otaku kim heechul suju loving asiaphiles )

 

 This isn't my actual paper. It's my findings from all the surveys you guys did @.@ It's quite TL;DR but I know you've all been patiently awaiting what the hell I've been doing this whole time D: Soon my loves I will have a final product, but this will have to suffice for now

( my teacher is going to kill me for handing her 22 pages )

This is a more detailed survey for my research paper. The more people I get, the better :O And you don't have to be a fan to fill it out. My teacher wanted me to have some non fandom people to fill it out too for a control group.

Please fill out the following survey with answers as tl;dr and creepy specific and detailed as possible. The more detailed you are, the more helpful it'll be for me! and the more likely you'll get quoted in my awesome paper.

Research Question: How do the aesthetics of current Korean and Japanese boy bands reflect the contemporary cultures of the two countries? [this still needs tweaking :S]

What it means to you: I'm trying to see what is different about Japanese and Korean male gender identities [looks and personality, basically] as represented by their pop groups, as compared to Western identities. [I may end up focusing on Japan and incorporating Korea into it to focus my paper more] Also what attracts people to this fandom in part because of this.

If you're confused by anything let me know :O And big thanks and hugs and kisses to whoever fills this out

 

 **For non fandom people you may skip questions 3,4,9 and Answer 6, if possible**
