well I thought we'd start by commenting on TVXQ as a whole first before zooming into each member. What do you think? In December 2004 my cousin could not stop talking about TVXQ since her arrival in Malaysia for her holiday. In January 2005 I met Jiunn and we began exploring our interest in TVXQ together since we see each other every day in college. Eventually we all became die-hard fans and express our love for TVXQ through msn messenger, forum activities and so on.
To be honest, my first impression of TVXQ was not that amazing. I thought they were too girly! Especially Hero (Jae Joong)! I appreciate their beauty but it was not until I met Jiunn that my perception changed. At that time they had already released many productions and went through many changes. Each time they emerge in a new single or album they look more and more manly.
Initally I thought their powerful-sounding name, Dong Bang Shin Ki was a bit superfluous but as they continue to work their best in every production, they sure captivated me and proven their worth to their name.
Please don't take our critics personally..we r just analyzing them base on our perceptions~
Feel free to give constructive comments, we'll accept it with an open heart~^^

동방신기
RISING SUN OUTFITS
FIRST CONCERT PRESS CONFERENCEFrom left: Xiah Junsu, Micky Yuchun, YoungWoong Jaejoong, ChoiKang Changmin, U-Know Yunho
동방신기 literally means 東方神起 in chinese, Gods Rising from the East in english, Tohoshinki in japanese. This powerful name depicts the 5 boys who hail from various parts of Korea, came to SM Entertainment in Seoul with the same dream -to become a successful singer.
Dong Bang Shin Ki has changed the fates of both the members and all those around them. Without a doubt, the meeting of the 5 members has given off such a great light that it even shakes the god himself. They made their first appearance on 25 Dec 2003 in SBS's BoA and Britney Special with their groundbreaking single "HUG".
Their concept is mostly harmonic acapella. The amazing thing about them is their incredible dancing skills and amazing looks which just beggars description. Acapella bands, yeah that's nothing new. A group of dancers who dance well... that's not surprising either, but an acapella band that has attractive looks and can dance as superbly as they do is definitely SOMETHING. They've created a new boyband phenomenon, after the H.O.T and ShinHwa phenomenon.
동방신기 consists of 5 boys aged between 18-20 with an average height of 180cm.
