DBSK/TVFQ/THSK
Alive!
Work, work, work, and watching a stupid amount of Korean variety shows and music clips because Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK or DBSG), also known as Tong Vfang Xien Qi (TVXQ) in China, or Tohoshinki (THSK) in Japan is LOVE! Their name, in any of the above countries, pretty much mean the same thing - Gods Rising from the East. It is an awesome name on several levels, unfortunately when it is translated into English it loses quite a bit of its poetic flow. I thought it was the title of a new WuXia drama when I first heard the name.
The amazing thing about DBSK is the fact that they can actually sing and dance, compose their own music, and is actually semi-successfully transferring from a teen-boy band to something bigger. They were marketed as an acappella group but they mostly sing K-Pop. No matters, I have big mushy loves for the band, they are such dorks who honestly deserves to be where they are in the Asian music industry. For those who don’t know - DBSK is the biggest thing in Asia, not just Korea itself, but they pretty much got China, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan eating out of their hands. It is pretty damn impressive.
I’m especially endeared to YooChun and YunHo.
