TVXQ/DBSK

TVXQ (Tong Vfang Xien Qi) is a Korean boy band. This group is composed of five members specializing in the areas of dance, acappella, various drama acting, and pop with an R&B vibe. The group has gained popularity in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, and other East Asian countries. Currently, it is one of the top pop groups of the Korean Wave (hallyu).

The name is translated to "Rising Gods of the East." The Japanese equivalent of the group's name is Tōhōshinki (abbreviated as THSK). The group debuted in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China in 2004.


Musical style

Initially marketed as an "a cappella" group, most of TVXQ's music is mainstream K-pop. Their debut single "Hug" was a romantic and upbeat pop song, whereas their follow up single "The Way U Are" was a dance/R&B number, complete with stylized outfits and heavily choreographed dance moves. Their third major single release, (I Believe), in contrast, was a ballad. TVXQ concluded the year with a Christmas album that also had an acappella version of "Jesus, Joy Of Man's Desiring". With their releases in 2004, the group showed a versatility in style and has managed not to be permanently typecast as a certain "genre style" (as opposed to Fly to the Sky's ballads or Koyote's dance songs).

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 label. The second album's singles, for example, included a dance song (their first release) and a ballad (their follow up). As the third album's releases have so far been dance, ballad and pure pop tracks, TVXQ has continued to move from genre to genre while staying mainstream. Although the group has given many a cappella performances, and have included various acapella tracks on their albums, TVXQ has yet to release an a cappella (or an otherwise mostly vocal) single.

Shuun comment :-

Good look, great vocal, dance well, can act...whats more can I say bout this guy? They were one of the best asian boy band right now. Not to mention internationally popular in western country also. Their aura can make every single girl goes crazy beyond belief. This 5 charming guys had those personalities and charisma that can make head turn whenever they go. (as expected from good looking people...am I rite? hehehe!! *Jealous*) Anyway...i only know bout this group accidently while browsing my friend friendster profile. At first i though "another those typical boy band again", but i'm far wrong from my prediction. The first music video i saw was "Balloons". For bout 4 minutes i stared at my monitor screen watching this guy dancing, singing, playing all over the place with those cute animal costume. I began to think..."homg...they all had some guts to do MV like this...". But yeah...i myself can't resist the cuteness and how adorable this guys are. I don't know how many times i repeat the MV. Hehehehe....*shy* But my personal fave MV...so far is "Rising Sun". Damn i love all those energatic and electrifying dance that it feel like gonna break your back bone...*kidding* Heheheh...~!!

Most of TVXQ/DBSK song very catchy...from ballad to R&B, and some got Rock and Metal element. They sure cover alot of song genre.

Nothing more can I say bout this guys. There alot more people knows better bout this guys then I am. Hehehe...~!!

p/s :- i just wondering why can't our local boy band achieve like what TVXQ/DBSK had done in their career? There also a great gap in term of quality(in this case...the song and vocal ). I just shut my mouth for now coz i'm not the rite person to discuss bout this anyway. (or else people will start bashing me...hehhehe)
