They got you under their skins ~ 6th thread ~

i've seen that no one create the new thread so here am i~

Welcome to thread part 6



Basic Introduction
TVXQ an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi (東方神起), is a quintet South Korean boy band formed under SM Entertainment in 2003, and later introduced to Japan under Avex Trax in 2005. Since their debut, TVXQ has become one of the most popular singing groups in East Asia, gaining great popularity in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and other East Asian countries.

TVXQ is referred to as Dong Bang Shin Ki (동방신기) in South Korea; fans often abbreviate the name to DBSK. The Japanese equivalent of the group's name is Tohoshinki, which is promotionally only used in Japan. TVXQ, the acronym based on the Chinese counterpart of their name, is the abbreviation officially used on all products and advertisements outside of Japan. TVfXQ is also used, but not often. Their name roughly translates as "Rising gods of the East." (동방의 신이 일어나다)

Musical Style
TVXQ was initially marketed as an a cappella group, most of the group's music is mainstream K-pop and J-pop. Their debut single "Hug" was a bubblegum pop song, but their follow up single "The Way U Are" was a dance/R&B number, complete with stylized outfits and choreographed dance moves. Their third major single release, "믿어요" (I Believe), in contrast, was a ballad. TVXQ concluded the year with a Christmas album that also had an a cappella version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". With their releases in 2004, the group showed a versatility in style.

With consecutive releases, they have not moved from this formula, as their second and third albums have had a similar mixture without moving outside of the mainstream. The second album's singles, for example, included a dance song (their first release) and a ballad (their follow up). The third album's releases have been dance, ballad and pop tracks. The group also recorded a cappella tracks for official albums released in both Korea and Japan, in which they rearrange original songs as a cappella versions. In the 13th single released in Japan, TVXQ arranged their debut single 'Hug' as an a cappella track and performed it in their 2nd Live Tour in Japan.

In Japan, the group's image and music has shifted towards a different market from the one in South Korea. Owing to their more mature fan base in Japan, TVXQ has gravitated towards a cappella and melodic pop songs rather than the heavy and fast pop tunes, coupled with intensive dance choreography, that are commonly seen in their usual hits in South Korea.

I agree that their *** albums are overall better, though Mirotic is really good, but i also understand that they must have some Korean activities once in a while, it's their birth country, and they're pretty popular there.

Think if some of your favorite local artist just leave your country for 2 or 3 years, how will you feel, and see what happened to BoA, i think nobody's really waiting for a Korean comeback after so much time spent in Japan, it's like a betrail to her Korean Fans, isn't it?

Beauty4123, that pic is when they're doing their MIROTIC chin dance haha..and the pic is for SAY NO TO SMOKING campaign

yeaa..gotta agree with some of u here..that i prefer their Japanese songs more than their Korean songs... therefore i started to like the boys because they also sing Japanese songs.. i hope that they will release a new Japanese album next year!!

but their MIROTIC album isn't that bad

anyway, their performance at today's 29th BLUE DRAGON AWARDS 2008
singing MIROTIC remix version
