[Social-Tainers Change the World] Social-Tainer Twitter Influence Top 0.1%
The communication tool most used by the social-tainers for societal works is Twitter. With last month as the measuring point, the total number of twitter users in Korea is over 4,260,000. Among them, the influence of the “social-tainers” are in the 0.1%. The influence of their Twitters were shown to dramatically increase when actively inserting themselves into the societal problems such as the tuition and the hope bus of Hanjin. The politicians who are talked about as the promising candidates for the next elections all use Twitter but in terms of influence they cannot reach the social-tainers.
In Korea, TrendSeek, the specialty corporation of social-network analysis, is evaluating each week the rankings of the influence of Twitter accounts from the beginning of last April and is publicizing them. TrendSeek turns into numerical figures the following five factors to decide the composite rankings of the users of Twitter: the number of persons who ReTweet (the degree of the expansion/spread of the information), the number of persons who sent the Twitter account a mention (a tweet that is sent to a specific person) (the degree of interest), the number of persons to whom the Twitter account has sent a mention (the degree of reciprocity), the number of Tweets made by the Twitter account (the degree of activity), and the number of followers (the degree of popularity).
On the 23rd last month—currently, the person who is #1 in influence in Twitter is the entertainer Kim Jaejoong, whose origin is TVXQ. It is that the author Lee Oisoo (#2) who had been #1 from April were taken aback to allow the entertainer of idol origins to rise to become #1. In the upper echelon , there are many other young entertainers other than Kim Jaejoong—such as Kim Heechul, Kim Junsu, and Choi Siwon.

Thanks for translating~ 🙂
It shows a clear explanation on how did they arrive with the rankings. Seems like they removed non-korean accounts coz oisoo is now #2.
i was a bit shocked to see AKP at no.2
o.O
I´m happy that JJ is nº 1 in Korea at leats once ^^
Dont call him and junchan a social tainer please
>.<
Dont give broadcasting corporations ideas
But Go JJ/Junchan
;D
Why not? Social as in the social category of Twitter (They are not in the arts or politics categories of Twitter). They are also in the Entertainer category of Twitter…plus they are entertainers. Therefore, social-tainer is an appropriate Twitter term for them.
just scared because of the MBC/KBS policy
@xiahjunsubias
I see. This term is new to me too. Thanks for the tip, i’m learning something new today.
But Jae’s influence is definitely not new to us, right? He is BORN and destined to BE.
Happy BOSS Jae day!
Agree with you.. I jumped too when i see this… hope those stations will not use this as a lame excuse 😦
If they want to use that excuse, it has to apply to Siwon and Heechul as well… If I remember correctly, they are also in that list…
i know he’s got my vote!!! anyone of the JYJ, if they would run for president of the US, i would definitely vote for them!!! ^_~
JYJ family, lets keep on sending him lots of mentions and retweet his tweets. Our Jae needs to keep his #1 place. ^___^
what’s a social-tainer?
See my response to @JUNO above.
Let’s send the men encouraging mentions for their projects: PTB, Scent of Woman, albums, and so on and so forth. And just reminding them that we love them it will be enough.
What is a social tainer?Did you mean social trainer?
Social-tainer (Social Entertainer) is right. See my response to @JUNO above.
Thanks hun^^
Nah,,Now we know `how` they consider him as most influential person in twitter right !..go Jaejoong ah ^^
Admins did a great job finding the “evidence”.
Otherwise we’ll have people always questioning the legitimacy on these kind of polls where Jae is being titled as the most influential in twitter world. 😛
Let’s keep on RT-ing and send mention to Jaejoong to keep him on the top spot! And Junsu! He’s number 7! and Yoochun as well (please be more active in Twitter, Yoochun)
Let’s keep our Kim Jaejoong on the top spot!
Good job, Lovely Adminie (^_^)b
Glad for the explanation! It made no sense that allkpop was on there. They’re not a Korean site, the person posting the tweets is not in Korea, and it’s not followed by many Koreans! XP
Also, there were some unnecessarily rude comments in the last post on this subject. Unless they were addressed toward some awful comments that are now deleted, I could not see any reason to insult other members for not initially understanding the meaning behind this poll. Questioning is not “hating” or being “out of control”. No one seemed to be blaming the admins for anything, so calling people “butthurt” was completely uncalled for. No one acted remotely butthurt, and using that term is just a way to immaturely pick a fight, anyway. Seriously guys, if you wanna keep fandom strong and unified for JYJ fans then that kind of behavior has to stop; it just drives people away for absolutely pointless reasons.
Then again, maybe the rude comments were aimed at things that have now been deleted. If so, then you can ignore this comment LOL.
