Hello,
I just wanted to check if there are any Bruce Lee fans here - and if there is a tread or a fan club forum dedicated to him ? If not then I would very much like to make one, but need to be directed to which sub-forum I could make a fan club tread.

When Vietnamese net idols gain enough attention from the internet, they eventually become a sort of "mini-celebrity" to the media. They are sometimes hired as fashion models for clothing stores and sometimes enter teen pageants to further boost their popularity. If they become REALLY popular, they even start going into the entertainment industry as singers, dancers, or actresses/actors.
Sometimes net idols from Vietnam MOVE to different countries as well, yet they still remain known as a net idol.
