This part is a personally oponion of somebody, who doesn't like 5566!


They are infamous in Taiwan for their errant behavior such as plagiarizing from the works of foreign artists, assulting members of the press (either verbally or physically), slandering their fellow bubblegum-pop singers/bands, and torturing endangered species on their syndicated game shows. They also take enormous pride in lip-synching in their concerts, which was eloquently summed up in these words from their manager when they were exposed: "The concert was a sincere lip-sync effort by 5566."

Despite their apparent popularity amongst junior high school students, the members of 5566 are more known for their ability to inspire the creation of internet anti-sites that far outnumber their fan-sites. They are also widely criticized for claiming to be "the NO.1 band of Asia" when it is quite obvious to all that no member in their so-called "band" plays any musical instrument. Though they possess no discernible talents that one would normally associate with bands, they do have all the attitudes and personalities fitting for substance-addicted rock stars.
