DBSK: Around the World 60 Times

The sights of DBSK members hurrying through various international airports and avoiding grabby hands shouldn't be unfamiliar to any fans of the boys. According to estimated calculations, each of the members has logged approximately 300,000 miles in airline mileage since their first overseas activities in April 2004 up to September 2008.

For the folks not in the USA (no thank you metric), that is over 482,803 kilometers!

The circumference of the earth is around 40,000 kilometers, which means each of the boys could have circled the earth 12 times since 2004. The five of them together would have traveled 60 times around the world by now.

Another indication of the high demand outside of Korea for DBSK is the MKMF Overseas Award vote. DBSK is leading with over 95% of the votes at the moment. It seems Cassiopeia has mobilized and is ready to pull off anything for the end of the year award shows. Check out the current stats:

TVXQ! Mirotic 243,054 (96.17%)

Super Junior-Happy Cooking? Cooking! (Where are the ELF?) 2,709 (1.07%)

Lee Hyo-ri U-Go-Girl 1,556 (0.62%)

Epik High One 843 (0.33%)

Wonder Girls So Hot 835 (0.33%)

Girls' Generation Kissing You 813 (0.32%)

Big Bang Day by Day 792 (0.31%)

SS501 A Song Calling for You 724 (0.29%)

SG Wannabe LaLaLa 702 (0.28%)

MC Mong Circus 698 (0.28%)

I guess the debate about who will come back on top can be put to rest now. As much as I would love for DBSK to win in every category, I almost wish there was a bit of real competition. Ah well, best of the luck for our frequent fliers!

It was said that the concert will held for a total of 5000 fans, though venue and date has not been set. The concert was also the idea from the members to repay the love and support that their fans have given to them all this while.

Yunho's Fanclub Donates 20,000,000 Won in His Name

Yunho, leader of idol group TVXQ, was very touched by the act of kindness his fans did under his name.

TVXQ stood on their comeback stage on the 28th of September on Inkigayo. On this day, they performed Mirotic, Hey!, and Love in the Ice.

After the performances, Yunho came to the resting lounge and received his special gift from fans. This gift was 20,000,000 won donated under his name to a chidren's charity.

After finding the donation certificate, Yunho said he was "very touched. Last February I returned the gifts they gave me, but I thanked them for the thoughtfulness. I hoped these gifts could be used on some good deeds instead. I'm very thankful they did such an act of kindness."

Yunho went on to say, "I'm very touched. Today will become a beautiful memory. I will show an even better side of me for my loyal fans."

Dong Bang Shinki “There is a way to deal with 악플 (mean comments)”

Dong Bang Shinki tells us the way they deal with 악(literally means evil) 플( short for 리플 which means Reply)

On MBC’s ‘Come To Play’, DBSK’s Uknow Yunho said they were terrorized before saying that ”Back then, an extreme fan posted an mean comment on the internet that said ’Didn’t they purposely do that to themselves so that they don’t have to go to the army?’” They revealed that “We just wanted to let it pass by but because of that and other comments but we were really upset about it.”

Following that Youngwoong Jaejoong told us the solution to that which was “We sometimes look on the internet but whenever we see posted mean comments, we don’t read it at all.” Xiah Junsu added “There’s studd about us but when the other stars (because of mean comments), their privacy isn’t protected or if they get hurt, we know how they feel.” “At times like that, we also feel hurt. ’Shouldn’t we try to protect each other in cases like this?’ We have posted replies to the comments saying that before.”.

It aired on the 27th at 11:15PM.

Choi Kang Chang Min, Enthroned as TVXQ’s Casanova

Dong Bang Shin Gi’s Choi Kang Chang Min was singled out as the Casanova of the group.

On MBC’s ‘Yoo Jae Suk & Kim Won Hee’s Come To Play’ (Shortened form: ‘Come To Play’) broadcast on October 27th, Choi Kang Chang Min ranked first place when Young Woong Jae Joong surveyed it’s members when asked “Which person is most like casanova among Dong Bang Shin Gi?”

Choi Kang Chang Min drew attention because of the overwhelming lead even before the ranking was announced. Suddenly exposing his fellow member, Young Woong Jae Joong stated, “Choi Kang Chang Min sometimes in the car passes by 100’s of women and looks at all 100 of those women.” And “He won’t express anything but he’ll unconsciously remember which woman was wearing pretty clothes when we passed by” added member, U-Know Yunho.

Sitting in the rear of Choi Kang Chang Min was Micky Yoochun. “When Micky Yoochun finds a woman after his heart, his pupils dilate” stated Young Woong Jae Joong causing an uproar among the group. “If he really favors a woman then there’s a very intense glitter in his eyes,” confessed Young Woong Jae Joong.

Wonder Girls Sun Mi: "I didn't think Yoobin would fit."

Small History:
Korean Idol band Wonder Girls consist of five girls. but before there was Yoobin the rapper in the group was Hyun Ah who withdrew due to personal issues. She is currently a JYP Trainee again. When Hyunah left Yoobin was placed into Wonder Girls, the song Tell me was even remixed with a rap part for Yoobin. The original did not have a rap part.

The Wonder Girls recently participated in the MNet show called "My Favorite" (마이 페이보릿 - gotta love the Konglish) where the girls were interviewed. The MC asked how Yoobin felt when she had to replace Hyunah. She answered, "It was really hard because all the other members have already had their musical debut together while I had to experience it alone. I worried a lot but luckily, "Tell Me" did very well. It was the turning point of my life."

The show continued and the MC asked the other members what they thought about Yoobin becoming a Wonder Girl. Sun Mi replied, "To be honest, when I first saw her I thought she wouldn't fit. She seemed very dry and quiet." Such a quick forward answer surprised everyone on stage. Sun Mi continued to say, "This thought was quickly changed after the album jacket pictures came out. She looked very sexy and cool and I realized she really was a Wonder Girl. Even now she holds the title as the 'sexy' Wonder Girl."

Xiah JunSu is like ‘Crazy XX’ to his twin brother?

Dong Bang Shin Ki had appeared on variety show MBC ‘Come and play’ which was aired on 27th October.

On this episode, member Xiah Junsu picked up a call from his twin brother (Kim Jun Ho)and he asked, “Hyung, what is my existence to you?”. His brother had asked, “You want a truthful answer or just a joking answer?”. When Junsu said he wanted truthful answer, his brother said, “You are like another self of me”.

That was a short though touching moment. But Junsu went on to ask, “How about the joking answer?”.


His brother then replied, “Crazy XX” which evoked a ripple of laughter from those in the studio for the filming. One part of the answer was censored off due to use of profanity.

Fans have voiced that the episode was fun but they felt that part of the content should not be censored and left out.

And the PD came out to clear that they did not edit out the parts which really portrays the atmosphere and moment when the 2 brothers were talking but there was of course no bad intentions coming from Junsu’s brother in the conversation hence there should not be a major problem in it.

On the same episode, it was also revealed that member Max ChangMin is like the hardest person to meet after Seo Taiji. He revealed that even though he gets along well with other hyungs in the group, he likes to do things alone, even when comes to drinking alone.

In today's new episode of Come To Play, Kim Jaejoong was labeled by the DBSK members as the person who takes stalker pictures.

All the members protest that Hero Jaejoong only takes pictures that the members do not want captured such as when showering or only wearing boxers. U-know Yunho stated that sometimes when the members are in the restroom, Hero Jaejoong would stick his hand (with his cellphone) in and take pictures. If Hero Jaejoong's cellphone, with the secret pictures that he took, was lost. Then that would be bad.

Hero Jaejoong explains that he does this only because the members are very important to him so he wants to capture the moments (of the members) that only he sees, as a way to treasure the memories.

As another revelation on Mnet’s “My Favorite” radio program, YooBin shared that she would pick “Tell Me” for her “My Life’s OST”. Most of the other members chose another singer/group’s song. “Even though it may not be so to the other members, to me it was my debut song,” explained YooBin. “The members that I had seen only on TV were my dream to me, and while being newly brought in, I was anxious and nervous at having to stand with those same members.

Han Hyo Joo Interview: “Jaejoong Is Still Very Unnatural”

Actress Han Hyo Joo delivered her promise to do her best in the upcoming Japanese-Korean collaboration drama, “Heaven’s Postman.”

On the 22nd, Han Hyo Joo revealed through a phone interview that she liked the script ever since she saw it, and made the decision to accept the role. Also, the director was someone she’d worked with before in “Spring Waltz,” adding to her confidence.

About her role this time, Han Hyo Joo said, “In the past I had roles in history dramas or roles that weren’t compatible with my real age, but this time my role is just right for my age, so I believe I can show everyone my best.” She also expressed her anticipation for “Heaven’s Postman.”

The thing she’s spent the most time on for this drama is acting. She said, “We went through the script for the first time on the 21st, and interaction with the other actors is very important, but because this time we are working with many very famous people, we will focus on the quality of acting.”

Han Hyo Joo, who will be working with TVXQ’s Jaejoong, said,” We met for the first time when we were going through the script, and since we aren’t close regularly, it was kind of unnatural.” She also stated,” Youngwoong Jaejoong attends activities with the identity of a singer, and I believe we can work together well this time to show everyone our best side.”

Also, “Heaven’s Postman” will begin filming in early November. Release is set for May of 2009 in Korea.

No more Super Concert?

Super Concert, which was set to see performing artistes like Dong Bang Shin Ki, Super Junior Happy, Jun Jin and Min Gyung Hoon, was announced canceled.


Super Concert was initially set to take place on 25th October at 6p, in Bu Cheon Stadium. However the concert was announced canceled just 1 day before the concert on 24th October.

With the abrupt cancellation of the concert, not much have been released from the concert sponsors other than that they are still looking into the situation. On the other hand, fans are also confused with the news and are demanding for clarification.

A similar case happened on 11th October where MBC canceled their 40th anniversary concert ‘2008 Big Music Festival’ on the day of the concert itself.

“Mirotic” trumps “Nobody” at M! Countdown

Judging from the hot debate raging before the actual performances, this M! Countdown was expected to be explosive. The Wonder Girls took to the stage in shimmery-pink flapper dresses and belting out the tune that’s been drummed into our heads since their comeback. They came out quite strong, but still lacked the dynamite and lost out to a highly energetic Dong Bang Shin Ki in the end.

It was a pity the girls fell behind first-place by a mere 18 votes.

Jaejoong rehearsing a kissing scene with Han Hyo Joo

Han Hyo Joo and Kim Jaejoong are confirmed to be co-stars in their upcoming drama. Jae will act as a messenger between the dead (who are in heaven) and their family and friends (who are still living). His character is very deep and mysterious.

Han Hyo Joo will act as a pure and innocent girl who lost her loved one but cannot forget him. However, after working with Jaejoong at the same job, she slowly falls in love with him. This episode of the mini-series is 120 minutes long, and the entire plot is a love story. About the kiss scene, the director says that in the drama "the two (Jae and HHJ) have mutual feelings for each other. During a beautiful sunset, one of them (not specified) says 'I want to kiss you', followed by a very touching kiss scene." They have rehearsed the drama seven times already, and Jaejoong's acting has improved significantly.

They will start filming next month, which will be adjusted into Jaejoong's schedule. The drama is due to be aired May, 2009 on SBS.

Idol showdown of the year: DBSK vs Wonder Girls

As if the clashes of the comebacks weren’t enough, M.net, who’s incidentally also in charge of the idol-glorifying music festival MKMF wants to add oil to fire with another idol game. Scheduled for broadcast on a cable channel on the 23rd is a battle of the idols. This special “M Countdown” episode comes with the aim of crowning a male/female singer/group who best represents the whole population of Korea’s pop idols. Now there’s a huge feat.

While there were many comebacks that began at the end of September, the two obvious outstanding ones are Dong Bang Shin Ki and Wonder Girls. On top of dominating charts and airplay with “Mirotic” and “Nobody”, they’ve also been ranked top in their stage performances. So, to ensure an outpouring of the crazies (which equates to higher viewership), M.net wants to bring them together to go neck and neck with each other, christening their collision as a worthy “idol war”.

With this theme, M.net pits them against other artists including Son Ho Young, Crown J, Rain and 2PM. To see if M.net’s predictions of an idol group finale comes to be, stay tuned on the 23rd.

Han Hyo Joo Cast in “Heaven’s Postman”

Actress Han Hyo Joo is slated to play in the upcoming drama “Heaven’s Postman“, which is a joint collaboration between Korea and Japan and will be working with Hero JaeJoong of Dong Bang Shin Ki.

This is the first time the two renowned writer and director will be collaborating together. As the male lead Hero JaeJoong enjoys a very high popularity in both South Korea and Japan, the drama has already attracted much attention since its preparatory stage. With the addition of Han Hyo Joo, who the Japanese viewers got to know from the drama “Spring Waltz”, the Japanese viewers are already eagerly waiting for the drama to air.

Hero JaeJoong plays as a postman who delivers letters for those who had passed away while Han Hyo Joo plays as his lover.

“Heaven’s Postman” is scheduled to begin filming in early November and both Hero JaeJoong and Han Hyo Joo are currently familiarizing with the script.

Wonder Girls On Star Golden Bell

The Wonder Girls revealed the skinship that they would like to have with their future boyfriends on KBS2TV Star Golden Bell shown yesterday evening.

The Wonder Girls were asked, “What skinship would you like to have with your boyfriend?”. Sun Ye answered, “I want to hold hands with my boyfriend and have ddeokboggi (spicy rice cakes) on the street”. Ye Eun said, “I want to do the ‘Titanic’ pose with my boyfriend”. Yoo Bin wanted to be hugged while So Hee replied, “I would to run up to my boyfriend and jump into his arms”. Sun Mi said she just want to look at her boyfriend (vice versa) without saying anything at all and then hug. Their cute answers drawing cheers from male guests.

While the Wonder Girls were showing their Nobody dance and the other male guests were going crazy, Kim C just sat there with an expressionless face. Even when they were singing Ye Eun’s self-composed song and the rest of the entertainers were giving warm applause, he displayed the same blank expression. Thus, he invited misunderstanding from all around the room.

When asked about it, Ye Eun said with a sad face, “Kim C-ahjusshi seems to dislike us… We often watch ‘1N2D’”. He replied that, “It wasn’t a funny thing right?”, and produced laughter around the studio. So Hee also revealed, “Even though I like Kim C-ahjusshi on ‘1N2D’, I especially like Lee Seung Gi.”

Surprised that Sun Ye was picked to take on the final round of the Star Golden Bell Challenge because normally they pick older guests. But she did great and got the right answer, becoming the 60th Golden Bell Challenge winner.

TVXQ's Xiah Junsu Iple Update

On the October 13th, Jaejoong and Yoochun left their messages on Iple. This time, it's Xiah Junsu's turn.
Hello All,
I’m xiah Junsu who at last leaving my message.
Actually i feel sorry for you all (* note: for leaving his message so late ). To tell you the truth is, you all know that usually the owner will show up in the last minute of the stage right?! Hahaha, Im sorry, just to let you know.

I heard that JaeJoong hyung even left you 2 messages already. This time i need to catch up…kkk..

First, at this very moment, the things that i want to tell you is I deeply thank you now who is reading this message. Recently everyday i feel so grateful..touched..^^ Don't you all feel the same way too?

Missing the Korean stage for one year seven months, I've always wanted to listen your cheering voices..And lately, each time we’re on stage, i feel that once again.^^ Thinking about the time before the album was released, i ever told the members like this. “Our own Market sales in Korea is getting smaller and smaller “..i even felt scared about this. If we’re in Good luck, if our new album sales is more than 200 thousand copies, then i can be happy..but when it was released, everything seemed to be true. No, i felt more love which i really wanted to present this happy heart to all of you.

No matter how small the sales market is, but for singers (the most important thing) is always ALBUM.^^ Lately i really feel happiness in my life, every minute, every second, every moment, thanks to all of you who made this happen. Things that needed to be done are still a lot to go, for better happiness, we still need more hard work to be better..

I deeply feel your love at this very moment and i thank you.. For this kind of feeling, once again i sincerely thank you all ^^ Congrats ^^

Waa..Though i use the Eagle typing method, but seems that my writings are quite alot.. (* Eagle typing method is typing the letter one by one, even search for the letter, not facing the computer display and just like a person who just begin to learn typing.)

I’m So confident with this kind of typing because my eagle typing method is the fastest. haha^^ Mr.T who stands next to me also was quite surprised to see me typing like that.

Although an Eagle, but quite a quick and you cant see my hands, hahaha~~~!!! How could my mood so UP today? hahahaha~~ Recently the weather is getting cold, everyone please beware of catching cold…

Later we will have a lot of activities, see you on the stage performance!! With great looking cassies, LOVE YOU^^

Today i with my long-time-no-see’s BEST FRIEND~ Eun Hyuk took a picture for all of you..

TVXQ and SJ Audition for SBS’s New Drama “Learning God”?

“Learning God,” a new drama on SBS, has raised much curiosity about who will be cast.
FT Island’s Lee Hong Ki is thought to be the most likely main character, but seeing as the main character has not been revealed even now, there are rumours of TVXQ, SJ, FT Island, SS501, and such singers auditioning. “Learning God’s” producer said in a phone interview the other day, “We’re in the process of auditioning people, and we plan to cast idol group members in their late teens or early twenties. We will decide on the main character after auditioning them.” Said PD also mentioned, “Although idol group members can become the lead character and raise much gossip, what’s more important is their acting abilities. They need to pass a vigorous audition and observation of their acting skills before we can decide.”

The actors in “Boys Prettier than Flowers” are raising talk as well, since they are also rumoured to be idol group members who are just as popular.
