During all this turmoil between SM ent, and DBSK, a cassiopeian such as I can't help but wonder, what will happen to our beloved Dong Bang Shin Ki? What will the future hold for us fans, and more importantly, what will it be like for our boys? Let's take a blast to past shall we?

 

 

H.O.T (acronym for "High five of Teenagers) a legendary korean boyband that consisted of  five members; Moon Hee Jin, KangTa, Tony An, Jang Woo Hyuk, Lee Jae Won. They're DBSK's sunbaes because they  were under SM entertainment long before DBSK debuted (H.O.T debuted in 1996, whereas DBSK debuted in '03-'04).  They are credited for being the forerunners of the "idol group" trend in korea. H.O.T is among the ranks of Shinhwa and G.O.D, both legendary boybands that helped shape today's idol industry.

What happened? H.O.T DISBANDED in 2001, and was rumored to have financial disputes with their management company, SM entertainment. Sound familiar? Well, for those of you who have been living under a rock these few months, the three members of DBSK, Jaejoong, Micky, and Xiah Junsu have been battling an uncompromising court case against none other than LSM. To which they won, and became free agents.Anyways, back to what I was trying to say. Now, H.O.T disbanded in 01, that was around the time when DBSK were still trainees. So around the time between '01 and '03,  SM ent. concentrated mainly on their other boyband at the time, Black Beat. Since Black Beat couldn't live up to expectations, SM left them alone and didn't do any promoting since then.Now SM ent. had to once again, look for a group to fill up the large hole the H.O.T left behind. That, was when they debuted Yunho U-Know, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, and Max Changmin as TVXQ! (DBSK). TVXQ shot to fame as being korea's no.1 boyband, and then one of asia's best boybands; gaining the worlds largest fanclub that made it in to the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds largest fanbase.  The boys then made it into the book a second time as being the most photographed celebrities. 

Six years have passed since then, and TVXQ! are no longer the dongsaengs (youngest) of SM entertainment, instead they are the top recording artists in SM ent with endorsements here and there, acting opportunities and are one of the prevailing artists in Japan. They are at the height of their fame. But in July of 2009 news broke out that  SM ent. was having a court case with DBSK. The 3 members of DBSK had originally filed this case for the 13 year long "slave contract" that they signed with SM. When the news broke however, SM ent tried to put the blame on the three members stating that this case was over the fact that these members had shares in a cosmetic company. So the three members of DBSK had won this court case and became free agents, but the other two (Yunho and Changmin) still remains with SM entertainment. After the three members became free agents, SM released an official statement that all of TVXQ's korean activities will be canceled. Cassiopeians were then reassured that their activities in Japan will remain unchanged, although SM clearly stated that TVXQ will be on a long hiatus in korea (We'll just have to see how long). Up until recently, their career in Japan has remained unchanged despite what was happening in korea. but a few days ago, I received news that there has been some conflict within AVEX (TVXQ's management company in japan) about TVXQ.  Which then made me realize that this conflict probably has something to do with SM ent, as SM were the ones who signed TVXQ with AVEX.  Back to H.O.T. So, H.O.T was also put in a long hiatus before sm officially disbanded them. Their successor was/is TVXQ. Now that TVXQ is experiencing the same problems as H.O.T, I can't help but think that their future is going to be as grim as H.O.T's. (Hopefully not though). So if history really will repeat itself (oh god no!!) who do you think will take over DBSK's legacy? My votes are on SHINee.  Think about it, LSM has been promoting them sooo much recently, and lets not forget about those music shows that they've swiped nearly all the awards on.  They've become just as popular as their 13 member sunbaes Super Junior in a short amount of time. I've had this thought for a long time already, and that's SHINee is becoming the second generation of TVXQ! My logic tells me that this is going to be true, and that DBSK will disband (or move to another management company, but they can't because Yunho and Changmin still have their contracts with SM) or AVEX will step in (hopefully they do). But inner fangirl still has a lot of hope, and is still KEEPING THE FATIH.

Ok, so SHINee went and recorded their performances of "Noona You're so Pretty" (remix), "RIng Ding Dong" (remix).and "Love" on KJE's Chocolate show.The show also includes a segment where Jonghyun serenades to....don't know who she is. but anyways, the thought of Jonghyun serenading makes my heart flutter xD how is that guy so sexy at such a young age?! but anyways, here are the videos of the performances, enjoy!

Ok, if you're thinking that [MR] stands for [Medical Room] such as [ER] stands for emergency room, you're utterly wrong my friend. [MR] really stands for Music Recorded, that is, the background music in the music videos or live performances. [MR] removed videos are videos of live performances that have the bakground music eliminated or decreased to a low volume. This maximizes the singers voice(s) and makes their voice the focus point. Singers that have reveived very positive feedback from these [MR] removed vids are: DBSK (or TVXQ), BoA, SS501 (the group that Kim Hyun joong, the guy that plays Rui in the korean version of HYD is in), and Big Bang. The groups that have received criticism though include: Wondergirls, and KARA.
