Members of the Korean Cassiopeia, TVXQ/DBSK's official fanclub, have released their official statement regarding SM Entertainment's press conference regarding legal dispute involving DBSK which took place yesterday. Here is the translated version of their statement:
We 800,000 Cassiopeians would like to announce our official view in this statement. With accusations and allegations flying everywhere, we announce this in order to show the fanclub's official standing on this matter. This statement is made by union of numerous DBSK fan cafes and we present this in the name of Cassiopeia.
First of all, we would like to say that, as fans of DBSK, we support DBSK and will not do anything to betray their trust in us. We will not trust anything besides words that come out of the DBSK members' mouths, and we ask SME to stop actions that are intended to confuse and divide the fans.
We Cassiopeians are very disappointed in SME for holding press conference and releasing signed documents in the name of Yunho and Changmin. As the management company of DBSK, SME must not forget their job and must stop their actions intended to defame the members of DBSK and break the group apart. Also, according the the court ruling made on the 27th, SME must not make deals with third parties in the name of the three members and cannot interfere with individual works or those members. Please keep the court's order.
To everyone who is reading this statement, please remember: the members did not take legal actions because of the issues regarding the cosmetics business. They started this lawsuit because of illegal contract length of 13 years. We fans do not understand why SME is silent about the issue of the contract length and is trying to focus everyone's attention on the cosmetics fiasco. The goal of this lawsuit was to nullify or edit contract between SME and the three members, and we believe that they did not intend to end DBSK or move onto another management company. Also, we would like to address to reporters who sensationalize and create rumours related to this press conference. Please be careful with your sources.
We would like to ask SME one more time to not make the three members' reputation and rights suffer with claims that have never been proven, and we would like to ask the citizens of Korea to stop creating rumours and defame DBSK. We would like to show our condolences toward this controversy.
As Cassiopeians, the fans of DBSK, we will keep our attention focused to the future actions of DBSK and SME. We will continue to side with DBSK. DBSK and fans will never doubt eachother.

All I can say is, GO CASSIOPEIA!
Witness the power of Thai cassiopeians (TVXQ fans). This was the end of TVXQ's Mirotic concert in Bangkok. The WHOLE STADIUM stands up and sings TVXQ's song "Don't Say Goodbye". The fans are very much in Synch. :D Watch, because it's amazing how so many different people can become one. That's cassiopeia for you :D.
ChannelV is hosting something called "The Battle of Pop" and this time, it's Jpop vs. Kpop! It's round two and DBSK is up against Mika nakashima. Each round ends on sunday! You can vote everyday if you want to !!! So please vote for DBSK/Tohoshinki!! Plus, they're the only Kpop artist that is left in the competition. T.T so go vote for them!! http://www.channelv.com/rde/v/3564_3567.htm
TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is in the latest issue of "Duet Magazine." This is supposedly a big deal because the magazine had only put Johnny's Entertainment groups in the magazine, and having TVXQ in the issue will make it the first time a non Johnny's group is in the magazine.
Johnny's Entertainment is known for putting pressure and oppression on other companies but there's a feeling that they're making an exception for TVXQ. The reason being that TVXQ is huge in the asian market with the "World Record" fan club of over 800,000 registered fans (thats not counting the ones that AREN'T part of their fanclub,cuz I know that Hero Jaejoong, the center one has more than four million fans) and Johnny's wanting to expand into these asian markets in the future. They want to have friendly relations because they don't want to be seen as rivals and it'll be better for them image wise with a friendly relationship.
TVXQ is doing big things in Japan at a very rapid pace, just a year ago they weren't allowed on certain Music Shows or Magazines (limited to Johnny's), but now they're breaking down all those barriers. It's good to see them grow and be more accepted in Japan. Thanks to BBang, tvxqlover, tinbum for the tips.
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.

"Hot idol group TVXQ has won a Gold Award at the 50th Japan Record

the award at the award ceremony, which will be broadcast live from
Tokyo on December 30 by TBS. The five-member group will also be the
first Korean idol band to be invited to the renowned NHK Red &
White Songfest on December 31."
side note: AAAH! I am so proud of them!!! Lols! I'm so proud to be a (un-official)cassiopeian (for those of you who don't know, Cassiopeia is DBSK/TVXQ's official korean fanclub. Their fanclub in japan is called, "Big East")! DONG BANG SHIN KI FIGHTING! TOHOSHINKI GANBATTE!
It's been confirmed that Tohoshinki (DBSK) is invited to NHK's annual music show, Kohaku (on new yrs eve)!!!
a reminder of what "Kohaku" rly is:
Kōhaku Uta Gassen more commonly known as simply Kōhaku, is an annual
music show on the New Year's Eve produced by Japanese public
broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally
and internationally by NHK's networks and some overseas (mainly cable)
broadcasters which bought the program... Literally "Red and White Song
Battle," the program divides the most popular music artists of the year
into competing teams of red and white. The "red" team or akagumi is
composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while
the "white" team or shirogumi is all male (or groups with male vocals).
The honor of performing on Kōhaku is strictly by invitation, so only
the most successful J-POP artists and enka singers can perform. Even
today, a performance on Kōhaku is said to be a big highlight in a
singer's career because of the show's large reach.

With their 24th new single, 'Spell' 주문 from their new album "Mirotic" DBSK has topped the oricon charts once again!! Unlike the activities in korea, the boys did NOT do anything to promote this new single. DBSK will be at japan on oct 15-16 (either yesterday and today, or today and tomorrow, depending on which timezone popseoul was talking about.) But they will still be back in Korea just in time for their Mnet Countdown performance on the 16th. DBSK Hwaiting! Tohoshinki Ganbatte/Hwaiting!
