[Meta] Reddit K-Pop Census 2017
Welcome to the r/kpop census for 2017. It's time to find out about who exactly you guys are. When we posted the census last year, we were at nearly 60,000 subscribers. Now, thanks to some Reddit sajaegi we have quadrupled in size! This year there are no fill-in-the-blank options, but there should be enough categories to fit everyone demographically. If your country is listed, select that. If it's not, select your continent. We will also be selecting our five favorite groups and five favorite soloists. Each list has over 300 choices, so if your favorites aren't listed, we're sorry, you'll just have to pick someone else. They are listed alphabetically and you can use ctrl-f to search for your faves. Remember soloists are on a separate question. You can select a maximum of five on each list, but you may also select fewer or none if you wish. Of course, we like to torture you, so good luck only picking five. So without further ado:
2017 r/kpop Census
The census is super short, and will it only take you about 5 minutes to fill out, tops. The form will be open for submissions for three weeks and will close on October 31st. You will need to login to fill out the form, but we are not collecting email addresses. Forcing login is the only way to prevent duplicate submissions. If you notice anything wrong with the form or gross errors on our part, please let us know in the comments so we can correct it. Lastly, thank you for participating!

Maybe use South Asian instead of Indian?

Also: under ethnicity: if you are a black latino (like Zoey Saldana, Celia Cruz, Cardi B) what do you choose?
What about a white Latino (Cameron Diaz, Martin/Charlie Sheen)?

Whatever you identify as, or mixed, or other, or "prefer not to answer". Whatever makes you comfortable.

Did I overlook her or is Sunmi missing? If so, that’s a pretty major miss given both her long history in the industry and her current major success.

At least you didn't make me pick the top 5 in order. That would've been too much for me D:

I just wanted to let you know that you put both Be.A and K-much in the favorite groups section, but they are actually the same group~

Perhaps it would be better to have a form that doesn't require signing in to one's Google account

It's the only way Google has to prevent multiple submissions. Otherwise, people could fill it out 100 times and skew the data.

Perhaps to prevent all the missing artists, countries, and ethnicities etc. in the future, you could pre-publish the census questions and answer options for a few days or a week before it actually goes live, in order to get feedback on the questions and any possible answers which are missing, and then add them before it's published and goes live? There are so many new artists and soloists debuting every year now that you can't just re-use the same list every year.
Edit: Another piece of feedback - perhaps next year you could hold the census during the time of year when the sub-reddit has the highest amount of traffic, in order to capture the largest possible number of responses? I seem to remember from the sub-reddit traffic pages when they were still viewable to the public (I know that mods can still see them) that the highest amount of traffic is in June/July?

"Choose up to 5"
chokes fuck
The solo artists was the hardest. Choosing between Heize and Suran was cruel and unusual punishment.

Nothing made me feel as old as answering how long I've listened to kpop for with '5-10 years'.
