TVfXQ!

past memories

2010-11-17T20:35:00.003+08:00

Hi smileyjade here, suddenly popping out of nowhere after a ridiculously long time of inactivity in this blog.

I've dug up some old drawings and a video of what I did in past DBSK fandom madness

First, the five of them posing for the LG mobile with their TVXQ name. They're dressed in terrible clothes imo ... We had many flyers of this LG picture to distribute to the public as we had to promote their concert, which was in July 14 2006, the first concert they had in Malaysia.

Somehow as we joined online forums to spazz about them, we had competitions or dedication projects and these are the 3 I did on one occasion. Took me 5 hours in total to draw.

The third one is sort of welcoming TVXQ to Malaysia.

This banner below is a dedication to my favorite member, Choi Kang Chang Min.

Now, this video below is originally a present for somebody... I don't even know who she is, it was another forum activity. Then I recycled it to give my two favorite DBSK fans in the world - Melissa and Lih Jiunn - I really love this song too and I think the pictures came out nicely with the timing. Sorry you girls for secretly 'recycling' the gift...

Now that the lawsuit and separation of the boys have occurred and the future of the five reunited seems uncertain... We can only dwell in past memories, smile at the fun times and sigh at the bad times, and remember them in our hearts forever as their fans.

ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH <3

Rhythmic Music Generation (RMG)

2008-09-26T04:02:00.007+08:00

With the hype of TVXQ's 4th album, "Mirotic" going on, I'm going to talk about the shift of music from melodic songs to SMP style songs to strong rhythmic songs in TVXQ songs. The reason is TVXQ songs are always catered for mainstream. So, by listening to TVXQ songs we can roughly gauge what is going on in the Korean music industry:)

I've done a bit of data collecting and research^^

Using catchy tunes and exciting lyrics to produce a title song is already an outdated method. The Korean music industry (‘gayo’) now uses strong rhythm to manifest the variety of trend tendency. Since last year, electro-pop introduces the revival of strong rhythmic songs in the Korean ‘gayo’. In the second half year of 2008, Seo Taiji, BoA and other artistes lead the trend by releasing rhythmic music one after another.

BoA has entered the American music industry by releasing her debut song “Eat You Up”, which is also a hip-hop dance song with strong rhythm beat. "Eat You Up" is a song composed by Remee & Troelsen, who also composed TVXQ’s 4th album title song "Mirotic". Both songs are similar in being a Reverse Beat dance track.

According to song composer, Park Goon Tae, “Songs were determined by its melody to give the song a complete feeling. Now, repetitive rhythms are used in song arrangements to achieve a strong effect.”

Seo Taiji insists on using Nature Pound singing style in his comeback title song after 4 years 7 months, “Outmost Part Moai”. Wonder Girls, Big Bang and other groups also uses repetitive melody with strong rhythm in their songs.

The “Rhythmic Music Generation” emphasizes on using the body to feel the music, instead of using the ears to listen to the music. To feel the song, one must use the body to feel it instead of using the brain to remember it. Therefore, if melody is to touch our emotions, then rhythmic music will be to stimulate our feelings.

Editor of a music magazine “Rhythm On”, Kang Il-Jeon, says “Good Rhythm is easily accepted by public, at the same time is easy to be forgotten. There are very little people who appreciate music that features strong rhythm. However, one will get addicted to RMG easily, once fall into it. Songs of today do not concern only on music played through CD player and radio, but also music that is used for ringtones, blog music, etc. Thus, there is a tendency that music is moving towards instrumentals or music as accessories.

The reason to recompose the song in RMG style is to improvise the depletion of the melody by comparing its essential beat with the music rhythm. It is quite easy to compose all sorts of rhythm by using the sound synthesizer to mix a variety of musical instruments with the composing style of experienced composers. This shift of music style is most probably caused by the method of composing where machines are used to compose music, instead of using the brain to visualise the music.

Regardless what types of rhythm are used to revive music style, it influences music lovers vastly, especially those who are familiar with the Club culture and RMG style of using rhythm as a main feature in music.

Music commentator, Bae Soon, analyses the popularity of RMG style music and says “1990 onwards started with Hongdae club as centre for RMG lovers where the group of RMG lovers consists of youngsters from age 10s to 20s. Now, RMG songs slowly becoming mainstream music show that this music genre is receiving attention from general music lovers.

ToHoShinKi's 23rd single

2008-06-13T01:09:00.004+08:00

どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろうDoushite_kimi_wo_suki_ni_natte_shimattan_darou?
Why Have I Fallen In Love With You
this is the first time i've heard a harp playing in the opening lines of the song... it's really beautiful! The song repeatedly questions the beginnings of love and expressed the sufferings of a one-sided love... I found the lyrics on http://farahshar.multiply.com/journal/
But the reason why I like this song is its ringing melody that makes me feel peaceful and calm...
How many times have DBSK washed their magic over me like this? Countless of times. Their music is wonderful.

THSK jap singles

2008-01-11T02:00:00.000+08:00

Hey ToHoShinKi's japanese singles are not bad these days... But i really want to criticise some of their songs..
OFFENDING THSK JAP SONGS
1. Together
the background is super noisy, the MV has no sign of the boys anywhere - it's all sucky animation - blergh i could draw so much better, they don't even have proper mouths! The animation storyline isn't great either. Only good thing about the whole song is that it's happy! It's meant for children and to lift your spirits I think...
2. High Time
endlessly repetitive. and Jae Joong sang " Are you lady to go?!!!"
... err i take that back! I love Rainbow and they keep singing "Lainbow" anyway.
3... can't think of any!!!! There are alot of songs which I consider run-of-the-mill pop songs and I don't care to listen but I can't say I hate them either. ToHo's voices never sound mediocre to me! So I only find fault with the melody, arrangement, background music and whatnot.
On the other hand...
TOP MOST LOVED THSK JAP SONGS (imo!!! and these songs rock miles above some of their Korean songs)
1. Begin - the first ballad that melted my heart. so sad, yet so beautiful.
2. Love In The Ice - serious test of their vocal abilities. great to hear.
3. Forever Love - 2nd ballad that melted my heart. so soothing and lovely.
4. Sky - the only song that made me jump up in excitement.
5. Summer Dream - my fav MV. Junsu and his ultimate adorable dance!
6. Step By Step - a very happy song imo
7. Promise - also a very happy and light-hearted song. Both of us love the Bossanova mix.
8. omg how could i forget? HUG acapella version!!! the best acapella they've ever done so far imo.. i love it soooo much <3333333>
Purple Line - finally they did something radically new and strong! So different from their old songs! I love it the moment I heard the 1st preview! The MV(preview is out!) oozed with hotness in darkness and purple neon lines! All of them look extra HOT in the PV! yeah man i'm so intoxicated i'm gonna wear purple tomorrow!
No??? - melody with good feeling!
Darkness Eyes - strong beats for the song, exciting feel!
Rainbow - a pleasure to hear.
I found the download link at http://imop.wordpress.com/ just scroll down to find the "DBSK No + Darkness eyes mp3 download" post. This blog (yup, Let's All Eat Candy!) is extremely convenient for catching up on the latest news on DBSK and Suju! Thanks to Pinkandsparkly!!!
THE NEW SONGS ALL ROCK!!! must get the THSK 3rd jap album once it's out~~~

TVfXQ and JAPANESE ANIME

2007-12-16T01:06:00.000+08:00

Recently, the members of TVfXQ are very into Bleach. In one of the many interviews they faced, Xiah Jun Su even said that "Bleach is my life"! ^^

The following is copypasted from one of the many thousand pages of the DBSK thread in soompi, a long time ago.

WHAT CARTOON CHARACTER TVXQ WANTS TO BE
Recently, TVXQ was on a program and this question was posed to them: What animation character would you like to become?
Their answers were somewhat unexpected.
Yunho's choice was: Tsukasa Domyoji in Hana yori Dango. His reason was because he felt that 'This character isn't a bad character, and is simple minded/ innocent"[T/n: The chinese will know this character as Dao Ming Si in Meteor Garden. This was Jerry Yen's character]
Junsu's choice was: Sun Wu Kong/Monkey God in Journey to the West because he was teleport around in seconds and he can ride on clouds.
Changmin's choice was Hanamichi Sakuragi in Slam Dunk
Jaejoong says he wants to be like Junsu and chose a character from Journey to the West as well. His choice was the Bronze Man. [Those Shaolin monks :x]Yoochun wants to be Totoro in Totoro because he says Totoro looks cute waiting for the bus

If i have the time, I'm gonna post DRAWINGS of each member superimposed in their chosen anime character! ^^

concert update!!!

2007-12-14T21:18:00.000+08:00

JADEL_LING's gonna relive the experience of that wonderful night TVfXQ performed at Stadium Merdeka in KL! It happened exactly one month ago! Awesome!
24TH NOVEMBER 2007 SATURDAY
TVfXQ 2nd ASIA LIVE TOUR ‘O’

Our seats turned out to be quite good after all because we get plastic chairs on grass and our seats are close to the middle so we can actually see them very well if they happen to walk on the left side aisle… I thought all along that I’d dislike this section since it’s YooSu side and not HoMin side… but what do you know… Chang Min, Jae Joong and Jun Su walked over here quite often! Man... Chang Min has the most handsome face on earth and he’s just so nice and happy and sweet. Jun Su’s unbelievably cheerful and bouncy, especially during Balloons when he’s happily moving around in the giant toy aeroplane. Jae Joong came over a few times but had his butt facing us for awhile during one of the songs~ lol~

Wow this time people guarding the entrances, exits and all aisles are real security guards in army uniform! They’re really fierce too in nabbing those sneakily taking videos/pictures or those standing up when they should be sitting down. I did stand a couple of times because everyone’s blocking my view and in the encore, Hug, I had no choice but to stand on my chair because I simply can’t see anything. OMG songs towards the ending like Drive, Balloons, and Hug encore was the happiest moment ever…. Mostly because Jun Su was there so close by, nodding up and down cheerfully in his aeroplane.

I have obtained the order of songs from soompi’s "katsukix". Thanks very much!

1 Phantom - everyone was estatic as this song started right after the intro. The boys are finally here and performing!
2 Million Men
3 The Way U Are - LOL there was a 'war between human and beast' theme in this song and Jae Joong was screaming "It's about the way u are!!!" There was a part where Yun Ho saw Chang Min cleverly struck a sword at the beast behind him as if he knew it was coming, it's really cool!
4 Rising Sun - this song especially got us very excited as we knew the dance moves to it and we loved every moment ^^
5 One - I guess the intro for this song was the blue screen with an underwater play where 5 guys were lowered down headfirst in swimming motions. they moved with their backs facing us and were slow and graceful. My cousin Melissa said they probably weren't really Dong Bang, though, as they disappeared below the stage and the boys appeared soon after from below the stage.
6 Miduhyo
7 You're my Miracle
8 Xiah's solo - the intro had him showing off his dancing skills in a subway-themed place with lotsa hip hop punks and stuff... Xiah is so "Da God" in this performance of My Page, his brilliance shone through his gold costume and flexible body as he danced and sang for all of us screaming fans. We chanted "Kim Jun Su! Kim Jun Su!" so happily for him <3
9 Micky's solo - He tried to deliver a smooth, soothing performance singing One Last Cry. It was heartwarming. I heard he kinda got off-key abit, I'm not really sure... Lots of Micky fans were happily singing along.
10 U-Know's solo - Jiunn considered this performance of Spokesman to be one of the best and most memorable ones of the concert! It's so great and energetic!OK Yun Ho had a back injury so he couldn't dance vigorously. He still tried to give 100% effort anyway, rapping with another Korean guy whom we couldn't recognize. Some say he's Henry from Super Junior, some say no, he isn't Henry.
11 Hey Girl
12 I wanna hold you
13 Whatever they say (from the clip D: )
14 You only love - beautiful, beautiful song, one of my ultimate favorites.
15 Max's solo - I didn't know that the intro had 5 guys silhouetted in black playing musical intruments... and Chang Min was saying Ok this, Ok that... when everything finally ran smoothly - the music playing perfectly - he came out to sing When I First Kissed You. He made us fall in love with jazz because he had smooth moves and a powerful voice manipulated to swing around the fluctuating notes. Too bad during this perf there weren’t many glowing sticks in the air – I hope it’s only because everyone’s tired and had to rest! ^^
16 Hero's solo - Jae Joong’s much-awaited solo, Crying. I say “much-awaited” because there were people passing notes around telling everyone to open their mobile phones to shine light for Jae Joong during his solo. Turns out, there were many people seated at the back obliging to that. Well Jae Joong performed admirably well as usual, taking his fans to cloud nine ^^
17 Drive - the introductory video showed the boys' visit to the car showroom and the junkyard in fast motion and cartoonish music so the song got everyone cheering gleefully, it was just so cute ^^ Jun Su walked over to the left side a few times bouncing up and down.
18 Dangerous Mind - this song has another 'war' theme to it - scenes from a war zone and children hurt and all - and Dong Bang's performance got everyone just as excited anyway
19 Tri-angle - Micky was wearing this green tops with only strings like seaweed baring his chest and whenever he and Max appeared close up on screen, the fans' screams will get louder. Max was wearing a very wide-collared top that reveals his chest as well whenever he bent low. Jang Ri In sang BoA's part! She appeared in a higher platform somewhere onstage and tried her best trying to project as much power as she could into her voice while trying to keep steady at the same time. A lot of people said she looked very pretty ^^
20 O - Jung Ban Hap - Guys dressed in army uniform marched waved giant flags around for this song ^^ It was one of the most exciting performances with everyone on their feet and euphoria running high, especially the dancing and the shouting of "O! ~ JUNG! ~ BAN! ~ HAP! ~ ~ HO! HO!" Jun Su pulled off the solo dance in the intro in place of Yun Ho. Jun Su is really very good at sustaining his super high form, dancing and singing all night in so many songs ^^
21 Remember - ironically (or rather intentionally), the intro vid is themed "Memories".
22 Timeless - I really didn't expect a Timeless performance until I learned from soompi that Jang Ri In arrived in KL a day before Dong Bang. woohoo! the performance was not bad, the fans were singing along in a trance ~
23 Balloons - They showed the animation clip considered by now a classic by TVfXQ fans. It got everyone so childishly happy, especially Jun Su!
24 Hi Ya Ya - I really love this song as it was performed right after Balloons to keep the "happiness" momentum up :p Plus everyone was too estatic to sit down - the boys were running everywhere giving out goodies from 'magic bags'. Jun Su threw random flowers and gifts at our section - lucky us!
25 Pabo - One of my favorite slow songs from TVfXQ. Was it this song that they sang on a rotating platform wearing charming white suits? No I think that was Remember. There was a song where they each stood on a rising tower-like platforms at the corners of the stage extensions. Chang Min's one won't go up at first and he was so cute being stuck down there trying to sing perfectly, maintaining his cool.
26 Hug - They bade us farewell and went backstage while everyone chanted 'Encore! Encore!" Then they came out to perform this last song^^ When it came to the "Go U-Know! Go U-Know!" part, they went "Go Jun Su! Go Jun Su!" instead.
Yun Ho was kinda down that night, probably because he couldn't perform as vigorously as he liked. Nevertheless, they all seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Some fans stayed back to sing 'I'll Be There' and Happy Birthday to Xiah. I heard that the boys went to Q-Bar in Sunway after the concert and they celebrated there until 5am! They stayed at JW Marriott Hotel in KL and went back to Korea late at night the following day. Their concert was such a blast, TheStar reported that 12,000 people turned up for it, double of that last year! Way to go, Dong Bang! ^^

Palms~<3

2007-11-07T09:11:00.000+08:00

We are all curious creatures right???
from their family background, to birthdates, to even bloodtype..downright to even their palms!!
haha~

This pic is to give you all a clear view on palmistry. It's from wikipedia:)
In-depth information: here!

-YUNHO

The most obvious thing on his palm is the line cutting across. It shows that he has great wisdom. There's a traditional saying that if it cuts on the left palm, he is a great leader. If it cuts on his right palm, he is great at handling finance.

His palm has many messy lines which indicates that he is always doing hardwork throughout his life. He is always think about other people and very busy with other people's problems, therefore makes him tired and always busy.

With this kind of hand, if he moves towards the good side, he will be respected by others. His type of hand is also very strong and when he hits people, he doesn't know whether it is painful to others or not.

LIFE LINE: There's small sicknesses throughout his whole life, but it won't obstruct him greatly.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): smooth & extensive career. He is very career minded and hardworking. He will work his way all up to be successful. However, because of this, little sicknesses and his character of always looking after other people's problems grows out from here.

-JAEJOONG

In general, his health, wealth, love, and career will get better only during his late years.
LIFE LINE: Long line indicates long life, but his health is average.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He might meet rough times during his career. But his career will be back on track at the end. He has to be careful of evil people as his fate is to meet many bad people like this-.- His wealth line isn't really good at the front part, indicating average wealth in his young days. However, it gets better when he's older.
HEART LINE: Lots of hard times in his love life. He will have a lot of relationships in his life too. However, after marriage, he will be stable. During his golden years, he would lead a happy life.

-JUNSU

He is like yunho's palm, has a lot of messy lines. He goes through a lot of experiences in life.

LIFE LINE: Long life and good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He is intelligent and knows how to grab on an opportunity. He has a smooth career life and will be successful at a young age. His wealth at a young age is better. His wealth line for the early years is the clearest among 5.
HEART LINE: He has an early love life and there's a slight of indication that he will two-time. He will also marry late. Even though he reaches his middle age, there are many opposite sex will approach him.

-YUCHUN
He has a Water Hand, which means emotions are more important than reasons. This kind of hand makes a good poet and musician. They also go very well in the beauty and fashion industry.

LIFE LINE: His life line is long too. But the front part is unclear, indicating bad health during his young days. However, during his middle years, he will have good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He is witty and doesn't lack in intelligence. He is able to manage a few careers together at one time. However, his wealth line is weak. Hence, it explains that his account has only 3 digit? haha
HEART LINE: Very messy line shows he is popular with opposite sex. It is his fate that there will be many girls appear throughout his life. He will marry at least twice in his life.

-CHANGMIN
LIFE LINE: A long one too. He also has clear veins indicating very good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): Clear head line indicates that he is very intelligent. He is very hardworking in his career and his career starts early. It simply means that he will reach his peak of success during his middle years. There will also be a transition in his career too.
HEART LINE: His love life starts later in his life. At the start, he will be very loyal, but at the end of his marriage life, there might be some problems occur. He needs to handle them seriously. His golden years would be comfortable and easy.

Anyways, these are done by other fans, I'm just translating from chinese forums:)
I actually had this very long ago, just that I do not have time to post it up!
So thanks to those fans that wrote abt their palm analysis!!
But, I do add in my little knowledge on palmistry too! Had a little interest in astrology a few years back :)
I'm not a copycat, I compile ;)

Press Conference in Sunway Hotel, Malaysia @ 17 Oct 2007

Sleeping Habits

2007-11-07T08:00:00.000+08:00

Let's go right to the basic of life.
Everyone needs sleep to recharge.
They are normal humans too, but famous homo sapiens eh!
That's why it's worth talking about :D

-YUNHO

Our leader here loves to SMS before sleeping, and sometimes SMS halfway and fell asleep. Because of their tight schedule, they always fly everywhere and airplane becomes their beds. Usually, jaeho sits together, yoosu and changmin with manager. Before he sleeps, he'll take of his shoes (actually all 5 also love to take off their shoes before sleeping). Then, he'll take the small pillow, place it at jaejoong's shoulder, and sleeps on jaejoong's shoulders.

-JAEJOONG

Jaejoong loves sleeping with his stomach on the bed and NAKED (omg..nose bleeding..). Actually sleeping with your stomach on bed is bad, because it increases the curvature of the spine. Hence adding more pressure to the spine joints and also hurt the tendons at front. When part of the body weight is pressing down on the ribs and intestines, it will affect your breathing. if you sleep facing down, you need to twist your neck too, again not good la. However, sleeping NAKED is good. Without the clothes wrapping around you, you are able to relax and your blood flows smoothly. This helps you to sleep deeply.

yay!! so i encourage all 5 of htem to sleep NAKED!!! It helps widen girl fans imagination, you know!!! hehehe ;)

-JUNSU

He looks very active in shows, but at night when he sleeps, he is very quiet. He loves putting his hand underneath the pillow. He has good sleeping habits. However, when they move around attending their schedules and stays at hotel, his sleeping partner is always changmin. As known, changmin has the worst sleeping habits. Junsu got kicked by changmin is normal. So, our cute junsu can only take revenge by asking for his bank account no. while changmin is sleeping-.-"

Haha..he is like the most being bullied by the other 4 of them. even sleeping also he will be disturbed-.-" haha

-YUCHUN

As we know that he is from USA, he has a habit of hugging something at his hands and legs as well. He sleeps just like a little kid. He looks cute sleeping like this, but it is not a good habit. It shows that he feel insecure. Another habit which has not changed since he debut is he does not like to wake up early morning. It is really difficult for him to wake up after sleeping. During their early debut, his manager tried to wake him up many times and sometimes he even gets angry :D Even now, if you see him appearing in shows at early morning, he looks blank and wanders off-.-"This is because he isn't fully awake yet. So, our Micky is Ms. Nightingale!! who only fully awake during the night.ahhaha

I do realise that most of koreans that are from USA have somehow wounded psychologically. They definitely feel insecure and at times you do notice a certain level of inconfidence by looking at their faces. Probably living at a different country with a different culture and a dominant language-English, has made them suffer a lot. Ki Bum from Suju is also one of those that sleeps with hugging something.

-CHANGMIN
He did not have any sleeping habits. (note: did not) But during their Japan schedules, due to the stress, weird sleeping habits starts to appear. Then, he became the worst sleeping habit person among 5. He talks while sleeping, laughs loudly and hits people-.-" The most melancholy thing is you can chit chat with him too! Anything that you ask, he'll answer.
Person: What do you want to eat tmr?
Changmin: Ramyeon.
After he wakes up, he couldn't remember whatever he said before.

Although he looks cute doing all these things while sleeping, I somehow feel sad for the effects of stress done to him. Poor thing.

ART of SPEAKING

2007-03-17T04:52:00.000+08:00

JAEJOONG

____speech character

When jaejoong speaks, he never limits himself. In heroine6,he'd mentioned before that he isn't good in talking. This is the main reason why he didn't beocme the leader in tvxq despite being the oldest member. In private, he's a person who can stop non-stop once started and always use a lot of exaggerated descriptions, therefore, he is definitely a humourous person. However, in formal occasions, his sense of humour is not suitable, because as an artiste, every word is crucial. A word can make an artiste succesful and can also destroy an artiste. That is why we never see him speak a lot when they first debut. This is to maintain his mysterious image and also to secure constant schedules during their early days. It does spark a lot of questions from public as why jaejoong isn't the leader because of his age. Until their 3rd album, jaejoong only reveal his trueself. Then only people understand why he is unsuitable to be the leader of tvxq. He biggest attraction in speech is that he speaks straightforwardly, but it's not a relatively good character in the entertainment field.

____speech style

Jaejoong is from Kyungkido. The distinguish feature of Kyungkido ppl is they speak slowly. This doesn't mean that the speed of speech. It is when he speaks, he loves to use a lot of particles (grammar). Therefore, when he speaks finish, people wouldn't have understand what is the main point he wants to deliver. This may also be one of the reasons he didn't become tvxq leader.

YUNHO

____speech character

The way yunho speaks is distinctly different from jaejoong. When he speaks, he is well organized and clearly stated whatever msg tvxq wants to deliver to public. He speaks in short sentence and goes right to the point. Besides, ppl loves the way he talks. This can be proofed during formal occasions where he doesthe speaking. He is able to use official language style which is very different from speaking in private. His art of speaking is the best among 5 of them. Perhaps the reason is he is from a strict family background. Most of the ppl in his family are of lawyers, officers, and political ppl. This explains why he is able to handle speech in formal occasions.

____speech style

Yunho is from Jeonryeodo. People from this place speaks fast, but their pronounciation is not accurate. One distinct pronounciation is "ㄹ". When he speaks really fast, his Jeonryeodo accent will come out occasionally. This is his charisma.

YUCHUN

____speech character

Yuchun also speaks really fast, but because he lives in Seoul, his pronounciation is accurate. He belongs to the humourous category and loves to pop out randomly. He also loves to have a dig at junsu. Because junsu has good temper, he'll bully junsu more!!~XD

____speech style

Due to his migration to US when he was 10, he uses a lot of loanwords from english when speaking in korean. He also has a habit of using the American style to express himself. In the Koreans view, when he uses a lot of english words in his speech, they find it ridiculous, however there's a lot of Koreans also admire him because he can pronounce english words accurately.

JUNSU

____speech character

Junsu's voice is the feature that gain ppl's attention. The Korean language originally doesn't have phonetics, but junsu speaks richly with tone=.=" When speaking, he loves to drag the words. Tvxq always make fun of him because of that. Because he always drags his words and also loves to add a lot of particles & attributives (grammar terms), we can only get his main point when the sun sets~.~He also loves sharing cold jokes with the members~XD His cold jokes are of professional level. Even tvxq members gave up on his joking ability.(omg.rofl!) He also has a platitude-'jin-jja'(means 'really' in korean). If you pay attention to his sentence, he can use jin-jja more than 3times in a sentence.

____speech style

He is from Kyung___do(can't rmbr), so pronounciation is quite accurate.

CHANGMIN

____speech character

Changmin is the youngest in tvxq, but he speaks maturely. He is considered as one of the members who can speak delicately along with yunho. He's the eldest son and also the eldest grandson in his family, as well as a father working as a teacher. Therefore, his parents are really strict with his education. He knows very well that he's the youngest member, therefore he doesn't speak a lot. However, this is different from the reason why jaejoong doesn't speak. He can speak orderly and with suitable manners. Therefore, since debut regardless of activities in japan or korea, every tvxq song is introduced by changmin. Besides, he knows how to add emphasis to certain words in a sentence appropriately, so it makes audiences able to know the important points of what tvxq wants to convey to public. The reason tvxq calls changmin "little adult" is also because of his speech and thoughts. He also loves to nag other members^^He also has a lot of platitudes-'sa-shil..'(means 'actually' in korean), etc. It is not really easy to notice his platitudes as he has a habit of emphasizing the main point of the sentences. However, if the platitude appears at the front of the sentence, it will be pretty obvious. (junsu's platitudes usually appear in the middle of the sentence)

____speech style

He's also from Seoul, so his pronounciation is perfect.

*in news reporter tone* ....The year 2006 has truly been a spectacular year for DBSK, having won many awards at various events (including 4 at MKMF music festival) and staged many awesome performances around Asia.
The amount of effort put into their 3rd album, O Jung Ban Hap, could clearly be seen and fans everywhere are still fiercely supporting them.

*reverts back to fangirl mode* ...As Malaysian fans stuck on the Penisula most of the time, we managed to catch a glimpse of Dong Bang power in early July when DBSK and Super Junior came for a concert.
Oh yeah, I heard that DBSK is coming again! ~* ^o^ *~
For Kuala Lumpur is included in the list of 7 cities in which DBSK will perform for their Asian tour in 2007. We'll see the hugely exciting "molesting chest movements" in O Jung Ban Hap right before our eyes this time! :p

DBSK's performing skills can only get better. Having pulled off a most successful first concert in Seoul on the 10th, 11th and 12th Feb 2006, they went on to continue their Rising Sun Asia Tour in Malaysia and Thailand. Visits to various places in Japan throughout summer for their Heart, Mind and Soul tour also secured their fanbase in Japan -can you believe that 200,000 people turned up just to high-five with the boys?it was called 'SKY touch'- not to mention their fabulous performance at the A-nation stage braving the situation without the leader, Yun Ho.

To be honest 2006 has been a year of turmoil for DBSK's health. They've certainly succeeded in winning our hearts as well as worrying us alot! Yun Ho got hospitalized a fair few times for several things ending in "-itis" and got a problem with his leg even before coming to Malaysia. Then he went and got himself poisoned by a mad girl (now known as "superglue girl" to me coz she put strong glue on the mouth of the bottle), causing the concern of many including even Andy Lau (quote: "If I saw you -the culprit- I'll beat you to death"). The other members were down with flu or throat-related sickness a few times too. Only Chang Min has been noted to have escaped any illness for he likes eating health foods (as revealed in the showcase at Jamsil Stadium) ^^ tsk my boy sure is wise ^^ ... If there are other mishaps I've left out, I've most probably had happily forgotten them.

Well, after winning many awards (I'm too lazy to keep tabs of every single one!) and celebrating Jun Su's and Jae Joong's birthdays with a huge plain cake (I thought it severely lacked decoration), DBSK is now on vacation, lasting 20 days starting from the 1st day of 2007. The latest news I heard, Jae and Chun crashed into a tree after being chased by fans at 4am near a bridge in Korea. The only damage done was to the BMW 2-seater sports car Jae was driving. Both of us immediately wondered where did Jae got the car from!

Anyway let's hope DBSK enjoys another year of good hard work and success and may anti-fans stay far, far away from them! I also hope that I didn't make any grammatical errors in this post! :p

TVXQ Showcase @ Jamsil Stadium, Seoul '060930

2006-11-01T02:41:00.000+08:00

The five-member boy-band TVXQ has introduced its third album at a showcase that was attended by some 40,000 people on Sept. 30.

The group, which has mostly been performing abroad this year, including Japan, Thailand and Malaysia, showed off a more mature image to domestic fans after ten months.

SBS TV will broadcast the band’s showcase in October, which is quite unprecedented. At the recent showcase, TVXQ sang six songs, including “Get Me Some,” “I'll Be There,” "O," “Rising Sun” and “I Wanna Hold You.” While singing their dance songs, the group members displayed impressive and dynamic dancing skills on the T-shaped stage. The beautiful melody of their ballad song “I’ll Be There” enraptured the audience.

TVXQ also held a charity campaign at the showcase by selling luminous bracelets and donating all proceeds to the needy.

Throughout the showcase, the band members chatted with the emcee and told interesting stories. Asked to describe a charming aspect about each member’s voice, TVXQ members praised each other’s singing skills by descibing Yuno Yun-ho’s voice as “profound,” Choi Kang Chang-min’s voice as "clear," Mickey Yucheon’s voice as "soft," and Shiya Junsoo’s voice as "husky." The audience was amused to hear Shiya Junsoo mimic a dolphin’s voice.

The band also showed its photos that had never been disclosed to the public on a large screen. The audience asked TVXQ to sing the song “Sky” during the finale of the showcase. “Sky” was originally released in Japan and became a big hit.

The showcase was postponed for an hour because a large group of TVXQ’s fans from provinces arrived late. Some one thousand foreign fans from Japan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, the United States, Australia and Hong Kong also attended the concert.

O.Jung.Ban.Hap outfits

2006-10-10T02:59:00.000+08:00

*~*~*One strinking thing about their 3rd album outfits is the black&white(or is it blue and white)checkered cloth... Jae Joong wears it as a scarf ... Yoo Chun wears it all over... I think it's old-fashioned and ancient-looking ... But it doesn't make them look ugly! It only shows that DBSK can survive wearing anything ~ don't get me started on their 'The Way U Are' look...
*~*~*In their press conference for the 3rd album, Yun Ho walked in stiffly in his oversized black sweater, smiling all the way and bowed saying "Anneonghaseyo, Dong Bang Shin Ki ibnida". He reminded me of a guy in a hot dog suit! I laughed at that silly thought!!~ Yun Ho's so cute~
That's all for now ^^

DBSK's 3rd album

2006-09-30T13:01:00.000+08:00

Overall, you must listen to their album numerous times if you really want to experience the beauty of their voices. The effort of the composers, lyricists, producers and music engineers do such a great job on this album. They extract the essence of each member's voice and let the magic happens~ However, i feel that the album is very commercialized although the concept is somewhat clearer than the previous albums. I also wasn't expecting remakes since they have outstanding voices. I would love them to have an album ENTIRELY their own works. Get Me Some and On and On are remakes which I feel, are common songs which their outstanding voices can DEFINITELY sing well in it. Balloons is remake that I feel is appropriate as it is considered as a tribute to the original singer. Different remakes give different feelings huh? I'm happy that they did a remake on Balloons and is also disappointed at remakes such as Get Me Some and On and On. Is this showing a decrease in composing talents or they do not have enough songs that fit the O-jung.ban.hap concept? Probably I was putting such high hopes on their new album since they flew to Czech for photoshoots plus Korea and Japan for MV.

I also HATE how the crew "photoshop" their voices with a blurry effect. Their voices are best heard raw and clear. I hope they'll come out with an unplugged album. That would be cool. But they still need a few more yrs to train their voices before coming out with an unplugged version. Their voices are still at infancy. Years of training in SM doesn't mean they can already sing very well. Years of experience singing LIVE on stage is a totally different experience which they need to go through. So, it's best that they get the experiences first. Moreover, they are still not clear abt the best and worst of their voices as yet.

01 “O” Jung Ban Hap
catchy rhythm.
At first I thought the intro was too simple and plain. But I’ve never heard that kind of instrument before and the more I listen the more I think Micky and YunHo’s short exhanges there sounded kind of cool. “Yo U-Know”!!! haha convenient stage name.
I really like the key changes from minor to major in that song
all of Max’s screams. Aaaaah!
On the first time listening to this song, it is like a curse planted into my body. I love the heavy rhythm that they instill into this song. It gives that 'oomph' to the melody. The heavy electronic zap adds soul to the melody. Yuchun's voice has gotten air-er and blur-er. His voice has evolved alot since HUG. Jaejoong's voice is also as echoic as ever, which I love a lot because it echos right into my heart. I love Yunho's and Yuchun's rap too. They just have that magnetic speaking voice to attract listeners. Junsu's voice is really suitable at bridge parts. most of the bridge parts that he sings give a totally different feeling and added some gist to the soul of the song.

Rating: 8/10 9/10

02 My Miracle
somehow this reminds me of Oasis. I prefer Oasis. This is just an ordinary love song with a pleasant melody and adequately fast rhythm.
In this song, they sort of used the air passage + nose to bring out that kind of airy voice. Yunho and Yuchun's voices totally shines in this song. I love that kind of airy..echoey..clear..voice of the two. i'm not a vocalist, probably ppl from this field can help out. I somehow feel that they use a different technique to project their voice. It's a swaying song because of it's convincing rhythm. haha~

Rating: 7/10 <---same

03 Hey! Girl
super powerful and beautiful vocals. Max did a great job.
This is a song that eventually grows in me. At first, I don't like this song because of its melody and musical arrangements. But their superb vocals won my heart. It's really heartwarming to hear them shout out when they reach the climax of their voices. Junsu's "I won't break your heart..." is like proving to the whole world that he'll not break a person's heart. Jaejoong's "Cause I can show you what love can do all....." really stretches the limit of his vocal range and managed to bring out the frustration, desperation, eagerness of emotions. When Changmin ended with "yeyiiiyeyiiyeyiiyeaeaeaeeah" it is like a release of emotions and slowly bringing the song into a memorable end. They brought us into a roller coaster of emotions.

Rating: 8/10 7/10

04 Get Me Some
my brother and I joked about the lyrics of this song: DBSK are in a supermarket and one of em sings “I wanna get me some of that” and the other 4 run to get the stuff … cornflakes… toilet paper….
I don't like this song. It just sounds like just another song across the road. and it's also repetitive too..which I don't really fancy. The only repetitive song which I love is HUG. (can't think of any other songs right now) the chorus is really ugh-_-" wth is I WANT TO GET ME SOME OF THAT?! The lyrics destroyed the song. However, I'd like to mention: when yuchun sings the second time, then jaejoong continued to sing, i felt that that's the best part of the song.

Rating: 7/10 4/10

05 I’ll Be There
nice ordinary composition of the song… but wow Jae Joong’s soft “deullyeoyo ...” right after Max’s part is so heartwarming ^^
Another ballad that they usually do. shrugs* it's nice and la la la..u get the picture. A ballad that generally everyone likes. I love to sing along this song. I picture this song to be a song where they perform this song and all the fans sing along. It's really heartwarming. It is a song to sway along with its melody.

Rating: 8/10 <---same

06 Remember
1st impression: boring and sleepy! Coz it’s so quiet
somehow I pictured a starry sky ~ the feeling is like Meteor Rain by F4… in the pleasant sense!
Nice high vocals. Well done~ Micky, U-Know, Xiah, Hero, Max!!!! so high ~~~~^^
To me, i felt that this song is better than I'll Be There. It reminds me of a disney song. Although the melody is a bit quiet, but the execution of emotion is somewhat better than I'll Be There. No doubts about their vocals. The range of vocals is also braoder than I'll Be There too. I would definitely LOVE to listen a LIVE perf of this song. changmin "...nal bu teo!!!!!!" omg..his voice just pierces through my heart. That climax just leaves me in awe.

Rating: 8/10

07 The Story Has Just Begun
I really like the whole arrangement of this song~ the rhythm, instruments and play with the melody is so nice
This song is like a fantasy~their voices n the melody accompaniment are blurry and echoic~At the ending part of the song, they did a sing and answer kind of style, which i find it interesting!!~ (yuchun and yunho) and (changmin and jaejoong) : the high and low voices are superb.

Rating: 9/10! I love it! Me too!~:D

08 On & on
Lovey dovey song going on and on and on … =.= ahhahaha…
Oh the “hum” done by U-Know and Max when Xiah sings “uri sarangi, byeonchi ankireul” and Micky’s “gido deuryeoyo…” reminds me of Lion King songs~ hahha
I love how Jaejoong started off with the song. R&B is one of my faves, so this song definitely captures my heart. This song is magnetic in the sense that whenever i listen to this song, I'd have a strong urge to sing along n sway along too!!~altho it's also repetitive...-_-"
I love those adlibs that changmin did in this song!!!~the falsettos r the killers!~his voice can really stretch~omg

Rating: 8/10

09 Phantom
I like this composition too~ yay another cool dancing ~ Latin~ pop~ song
This song is a moody song, i would say~ sometimes i HATE this song a lot that i'll skip this song; sometimes I'll just listen to it n sway along as if I'm enjoying it~
weird huh??memang phantom~extreme moods while listening.
I love the part where there is a change of rhythm..."hanseungan...jinajin...~"then the original rhythm comes back in again~

Rating: 8/10 5/10

10 You Only Love
Another quiet song. Their vocals are nice but by the time I heard this song I think there are too many major key songs in this album. Perhaps this song should be in minor key and feel abit sadder for a change.
A transition from the 9th song - noisy, electrical, techno to the 10th song - soothing, manual (voices only:D) This is their FAMOUS acapella~their specialty~~!It's a must-have in any of their albums!! This song is like a plaster to sad ppl. The snapping fingers rhythm is lovely!!~n i love the piano~but the melody sounds abit too commercial.however, their vocals will win over it anyway~haha...
For this song, I love every every part of it..it's hard for me to describe exactly which part is my fave. But I'd like to point out the way they start to build up to the climax of the song...expecially junsu n jaejoong's vocals...they've expressed the emotional part beautifully...yuchun n yunho's voices are like patting u n say "kwaen chanha". It's that powerful!~ changmin's voice is like an angel<3
I LOVE to sing this song a lot!! I'll definitely sing when I listen to this song. I hope karaoke has this song, so that I can soften my addiction towards singing~X_X

Rating: 7/10 10/10!!!

11 Balloons
I love happy songs tho and this is a very happy song!!!!! Hahaha~ I like both DBSK and the original version~

Rating: 9/10 cz I love it

The outlook is sophisticated, manly, matured and exquisite in the nostalgic fashion. 8/10.

Therefore the overall rating is …. 7.91667 / 10 !!!! can bring forward to 8/10 LOL LMAO~
ps. the pic is done by jadel, who has poor PS skills.
Btw, listening to their album while doing a review on their songs helps a lot.
I'm still listening to their 3rd album till today while busy with my assignments throughout the night.
SUPPORT DONG BANG SHIN KI! Both of us have bought the original Malaysian version of the album ^^

Thoughts of Bangkok concert and DBSK's new look

2006-09-17T11:24:00.000+08:00

I've posted this in in-complete.net and also kpopkingdom in my own posts... LOL... Lazy to retype~

Their appearance in the Malaysian concert was a more formal and safe type. This time in Bangkok they've changed alot!

At first I didn't like Yoo Chun's hair much. Then in some pics he looked really cool to me! I have the impression of a more charismatic TVXQ onstage coz of Micky! Haha... But in his solo pics he looked more like a typical chinese schoolgirl than the usual sexy Micky Yoo Chun.

Jae Joong looked so undefeatably beautiful! His hair colour isn't quite as striking as I saw it earlier but somehow the strange mix of the hair colour and lighting made Jae Joong look extra exquisite! So beautiful!

Yun Ho's hair didn't change much... You can always count on him to be a constant I guess.. LOL .. Oh wait, I see Jiunn's comment in in-com that his hair is longer and better-looking than before. Anyway I'm so glad he's dancing powerfully and happily again.

Xiah Junsu looks more matured and troubled this time.. How come ever since he cut his hair I notice his frowns more often?

Chang Min!!! Gaaaaah his hair makes him look too old than he should look.. I want a cute Max and not a serious-looking... scary-hair.. Max.. LOL.... ... Aaaaish the poor thing couldn't dance together with his members because of a leg injury (I heard it was an ankle injury)...

Both of us are sad, being unable to attend the concert and the fanmeeting as well as stalk the celebrities.

TVfXQ and SuJu came to Malaysia!!!

2006-07-28T11:38:00.000+08:00

They came on the 12th and left on the 15th. Jadel’s POV is in purple…Jiunn's spazz loves orange

10.07.2006 Super Junior's arrival

We thought they're arriving on the 5.10pm filght. We waited from 5pm till 8.30pm and gave up.

They arrived on the 11.35pm flight and kpopkingdom staff and members as well as Korean fans were there to greet them, take pictures and get autographs. Suju members walked out, went to the bus and Kibum came out slightly later... Due to visa problems Han Kyung was kept in the immigration department until 4am.. kpopkingdom founders Yuri and Eeza were still there patiently waiting and they bought him a Burger King set and drove him to the hotel.

12.07.2006 Dong Bang Shin Ki's arrival

We went to the airport around 5pm and waited together with many fans all shouting "Dong Bang Shin Ki!" and singing their songs. I was standing near the big entrance of the airport because common sense just tells me that anyhow, tvxq still need to exit from the big entrance..so i'm there~The 5 mighty figures emerged from the arrival hall and made their way to their cars waiting outside.

It was major chaos as the fans kept closing in on them, some accidentally pushing them and the even metal barrier separating the boys and the fans collapsed. i HATE this scene. There weren't much pushing at my place as everyone swarmed to the front. Luckily kpopkingdom staff were holding hands, forming a human barrier so the crazy fans won't hurt the boys too much. One fan just took her camera & snapped right in front of yunho's face~STUPID FAN...RAWR*and one fan lost her shoe in all that commotion. I stepped backward to let the wild crowd pass.. I don't know why...whenever i tailed along tvxq or suju...there r no obstacles for me...i'm able to follow them along with being pushed or squashed..MORE proofs on this...STAY TUNED and read further~XDXD

back to my encounter at KLIA~the firsts that i saw was junsu n jaejoong..I'm like wth..jaejoong's SKIN!!!!!It's so fair!!All of them r like machines,-expressionless.Junsu's face is like the normal random fancam pics fans took at airports..no expression+huge brown-ish sunshade (those pics that we usually see in forums..u get the picture) I was magnetized by Jaejoong n went on to follow him. Practically I can feel his breathing since everone was pushing n all~but somehow i don't feel that pushy+squashy force-_-"He wore a cap n hid his beautiful eyes.DAMN!I want to look at his eyes.He has a lot of moles tho~XDXD He doesn't have particular smell~just Jaejoong aura^^,I didn't want to touch him as I know he doesn't like it. I don't want to leave a bad memory for TVXQ because they had a bad encounter in Thailand a few weeks ago. I wouldn't want them to think of Msian fans as RUDE & MAD. So, instead of being a crazy fan, I became jaejoong's bodyguard, ensuring him safe all the way to the estima^^, Aren't I sweet?! but none of the fans were rude to Jaejoong anyway..

and they went into their estimas-jaejoong,yunho,yuchun-1car;junsu,changmin-1car.(I think so)
I was still tailing Jaejoong..He's in the car & I just ran to the other side of the estima.no fans were at the other side yet..Jaejoong again was expressionlessT.TI waved like mad but he was facing down all the time. Suddenly 1 uncle just go "Regent hotel!Regent hotel!" O_O OMG!I love that uncle. I asked "REALLY?!!!Thank u very much!!!" I'm on cloud 9

13.07.2006 Super Junior shooting MV & photoshoot at KLCC park

We were on our way to Regent Hotel to stalk DBSK when a friend called us and said Suju’s at KLCC Park and Han Kyung was standing right in front of him! Then we r at a crossroad, TVXQ or Suju?!WHICH?!! Eventually, we hopped onto the LRT and ran all the way to the KLCC park. Hyuk Jae and Dong Hae were doing photoshoots! Fans were hanging around in all directions. We tried to look for our friend. They were in Gloria Jeans. Han Kyung and Kang In were taking a nap on the sofas in Gloria Jeans café. Hankyung's head was facing down, Kang In also faces down but his arms r folded~ Can I go & sniff the sofas once in a while?!XD bluek*I'm not obssesed to that extent.

Later, Hyuk Jae went into the café too and all of them went out. Suju and manager, coodinators,etc walked and the fans followed like a mass parade or something, there were more than 80 people following suju! The on-lookers were so surprised. Me too, was one of those 80 ppl~XDXD I get to shake Kangin, Donghae, Hankyung, Hyukjae's hands!!!~ I said "shake hand?", then they just locked their hands into mine..again I'm on cloud 9. Suju manager was like "palli!palli!"(asking Suju to move faster because the situation has started to get out of control) Donghae is shortXDXD Kangin is really HUGE!~i can still rmbr his hand is HUGE, THICK, SOLID. Kangin just woke up & his eyes were still red>.One thing abt stalking suju is they have TOO MANY GUYS!!!I didn't know where to focus on-_-"So, I picked on Donghae & followed him all the way (there were too many ppl, i need some aim:D) When i turned back to look for Ling, OMG!!!Hyukjae is behind me.It was NEAR NEAR. If he were to walk 2 more steps & we'll have a nice bump^^, I went O_O no wonder i didn't meet any obstacle while stalking Suju-_-"Near the bus, the manager just pushed me to the side. It was a slight push, but I felt my body flew to the side (FYI, I'm stick-thin) Suju went onto their bus. Kyu Hun was the last to get on the bus –he smiled at the fans!- No one managed to take a pic of Kyuhyun because he appeared to sudden. He was really good looking in real life. He was wearing 'U' outfit^^I never paid any attention to him when he just joined Suju because I didn't think he was good-looking at the first place. BUT seeing him in real just makes me go GAGA over him.and the 3 buses drove off with many fans getting into taxis and following suit. We hopped onto our friend’s car and tried to tail them as well – but failed …

14.07.2006 CONCERT

Again, we reached the venue at 5pm. There were many fans waiting in line. Long lines and many cut queues~Many fans at various merchandise booths as well. Major pushing and chaos at around 7pm when fans were getting restless while waiting for the gates to open. Jiunn went to the left side of the stage while I went to the right side. Luckily both of us went to different sides..then we can have different views of the concert and our spazz will be more perfect?! Ling's side was changmin (her fave) and yunho, Jiunn's side was junsu and yuchun. I wanted jaejoong...but oh well..he stands in the middle, so i took yoosu insteadXDXD

The concert started exactly like their 1st concert in Korea, with the empty glass capsules hovering at like 4 storeys above ground and later DBSK appearing on each of their respective platforms like magic. Junsu belted his “ha-aaah” for Tonight and the fans cheered wildly …However, I noticed that the members was in a sad sort of mood. Jae Joong swept his eyes around the stadium with sadness while YunHo understandably looked worn out. After Tonight was Hug and then I Wish … followed by Whatever They Say. Most of the time I only get a good view of Jae Joong, he looked especially beautiful that night.

TVfXQ introduced themselves with Yun Ho first speaking in Korean and then Micky in English – who got more cheers. No matter what they says, fans just scream all the way. They proceeded with Miduhyo and then Tri-Angle, Free Your Mind and Dangerous Mind. At this point I couldn’t see anything except enjoy singing along and waving my arms wildly in the air as I’m in the Kingdom or rock zone with everyone jumping around madly in excitement, therefore blocking my view.

The boys walked to the front of the stage and smiled and waved the fans many times. They sang Magic Castle with each member on separate elevated platforms. Jae Joong’s platform only rose half the height of the other members and he turned to look at his metal bar things, feeling something is wrong .. Chang Min was so heavenly sweet that night, waving to us at torso level and flashing his pearly whites. He sang too early (or the music started too early) in Magic Castle and laughed lightly to himself. The members seemed happy ^^ They also sang Ji Guem Chuh Rum and Always There.

Then it was Super Junior’s turn to perform! They rocked the stadium with Twins (Knockout) and Miracle afterwards .. I think.. I wasn’t really paying attention to Suju’s songs, I was too busy screaming and singing along and waving…

Super Junior leader EeTeuk introduced themselves in Korean. Han Kyung started speaking in Mandarin and the crowd cheered wildly coz they understood.. And Ki Bum spoke in English.. Shi Won spoke Japanese … then they all said “sawadeekap” and something in Thai .. And even “terima kasih” and “aku cintamu” (“thank you” and “I love you" in Malay)~! Jiunn loves fan service~<3>

DBSK came back onstage … they performed a few more ballads and The Way U Are… Then the highlight of the concert – Rising Sun, was performed by DBSK with so much energy. They wore the same clothes in VMA awards in Thailand!!XDXDbut Jaejoong didn't wear that expose-belly-white-outfit..argh!i wanted to c his belly*shys away*>.After that, they sang One. I was really touched at that moment & tears just flowed all the way>.< It's so embarassing!!coz yuchun was standing in front of me..oh well..i think seeing fans cry is a normal sight for them..They performed My Little Princess while throwing small pieces of red paper, symbolizes flower petals, all over the stadium. and jiunn cries again...i'm such a crying pot>.<

Then, Dong Bang Shin Ki and Super Junior joined hand-in-hand to perform the final number for the night, Show Me You Love. Jae Joong happily belted out the first line quite well but the next singer, Sung Min’s microphone had problems and then Jun Su abandoned singing altogether after that..Everyone goes la la la~~ But the song continued and the fans went wild and it’s the atmosphere doing the performing, with the guys all smiling and waving to the fans. I felt this song is really special because it just shows their camarederie and their long-time friendship~<3>

Shi Won extended his hand to the fans .. Who was it who poured water at us? … Chang Min and Ki Bum had their arms over each other’s shoulders like best buddies ^^ my 2 favs~! While Jae Joong and Hee Chul held each other at the waist~! Then Dong Hae went off-key .. Jae Joong sang ok .. Lucikly after that was Hyuk Jae’s rapping part so the wrong key was stopped… hhaha .. Too excited I guess… I saw hyuksu moments too!!~i went crazy over thatXDXD

It ended … they boys disappeared and they aired Hi Ya Ya MV… it’s kinda fitting too… “Always be happy together, saranghae hi ya ya ya..” I was quite disappointed when there was no encoresT.T

I love the atmosphere where "Music is universal" comes into place. Fans just cheered & sing along although most of them do not know the Korean language.

TVXQ rushed back to Korea at 1am, so they left hurriedly after the concert ended.

15.07.2006 Super Junior’s Departure to Korea
The next day, Suju went to Putrajaya for photoshoot & MV, but we didn't stalk them.

However, we went to the airport to send off Suju. My sis came along too. Since we arrived early, we decided to go to the flight counters to ask abt info on Suju, but to no avail. Many fans were there too, each hoping to get an autograph from them. Then my instincts just asked me to go & check the KLIA railway station although it seems impossible for all 13 of them to take the train. It'll be hell expensive. But somehow I just want to go there & check since we have plenty of time. Ling was at upstairs to keep an eye whether suju will arrive at the main entrance. My sis & I went around asking where they c any Korean stars around, 13 ppl. One of the airport staffs said that if there r 13 ppl, usually they'll come by bus, there's a bus station. Then he pointed the direction for me. I felt I was one step nearer to the answerXDXDha ha. My sis & I lingered around & also asked the same ques to airport staffs there. We saw some fans there, but not quite sure whether they r or not. Then, I saw kingdom mbrs there. I was still walking around trying to look for their bus. ( I don't want to further elaborate on why I'm still looking for Suju bus) I think one thai fan saw me walking everywhere trying to look for Suju bus, she came forward & told me that Suju is actually here, but they r staying in the bus sleeping.O_Othis thai fan is oilchan.Thanks for telling us. So I phoned Ling to come down to the bus station.

All I wanted was their picture. My camera was finally put to good use.
Suju members were sleeping in the bus.. They emerged at 12am and made their way to the departure hall. I think because they sat too long in the bus, Hankyung's legs had pins & needles. The fans quietly followed and some fans manage to pass their presents to them even though the managers didn't allow Suju to give autographs or accept fans' gifts. While waiting for the lift, I was busy looking for Hankyung, (AGAIN: it's really difficult to pay attention to 13 HOT guys, so I was looking for an aim again:D) since he understands Chinese & I wanted to tell my msg to all Suju mbrs. Hankyung was THE ONE. But I tumbled upon Kibum & tried to talk to him. He was in a DND mode. He seems exhausted>.When they finally went to the passport check downstairs, the fans started shouting things like “Super Junior, sarang haeyo!” Even though Suju were already at downstairs, but most of the fans were still following them, trying to get the very last glance from balconies & large glass windows. Until Suju was out of sight, then the fans started to disperse~

I intended to ask autographs from Suju, so I'd written my name "LIH JIUNN" on a blank paper..thinking it'll be more convenient for Suju in case they give autographs. But again..their manager didn't allow.So I just carried my stack of papers & continued stalking them. I had so many things in my hands-_-"papers, pen,camera.CLIMAX IS HERE-while Suju were going down the escalator one by one, heading towards the imigration counters, my piece of paper just FLEW down to the escalator. Sungmin was standing in front of my paper. I almost gone crazy & shouted "My paper!!!" I think Sungmin heard it & he turned over to pick it up. I wanted to ask him to help me throw the paper away since i can't go down the escalator already, but I don't know how to say it in Korean. So...Sungmin mistaken it as a present from a fanXDXDXD I'm overwhelmed by this. It took me days to recover from my fantasy state>.<
Thanks for your time ^^ The DBSK and Suju experiences were great! Tiring but worthwhile (^^)6

BEGIN

"Begin" is DongBangShinKi's latest single.
Upon first watching YooChun sing "na ki, tai tokiwa... " it struck deep into my heart and I knew instantly it'll be a great song just like heart,mind and soul... I was wrong. It's even better!
never mind that the melody keeps repeating.. after all,millions of songs out there are repetitive and they don't suck.. anyway the composition, arrangement, ... everything especially their vocals are breathtaking~ i love how one member belts out one line then the rest join in at the next line... it's just so smooth! and the chorus~ jaejoong melts all our hearts when he sang "everyday... and night... with you..." so passionately!
i also love max's part ("Hon to wa... boku mo.. onajidaiyo.." - truth is, i'm the same as you) as in the live perf he delivered that powerfully, jolting those asleep to wake up.. heehee... it's isn't all that boring once you appreciate how beautiful their voices are - enough to move you to tears.

(I'll start to do the excavations,pilings first...later when I'm free, I'll start on the concrete slabs & formwork..XDXD)This post is like constructing a bldg, step by step^^

B.O.D.Y.
XD
This post really put my biology knowledge into test..(I've been in architecture for 2 years now & Biology has been put aside for those 2 yrs>.<)I need to do extra research to find the exact names for body parts.I feel scary to "explore" towards this extent.

All of them have slight muscular, athletic bodies since they practise dances a lot for performances.

Xiah Junsu

Micky Yuchun

He has larger bone frame, PLUS he's skinny.

Hence the sexy collarbone

end of ulna is large

Hero Jaejoong

Broad, straight shoulders

Max Changmin

He has been working out recently.I somehow don't like that muscular image on him.Ludwig Mies van Der Rohe says "Less is More".I guess this is true on him.lol~

U-Know Yunho

He has man boobs. lolx He revealed it in YashimManMan 061002. gosh~ he said that his chest grows fat easily

Xfactor Qualities - Tranquilizing Voices

2006-05-04T03:28:00.000+08:00

of coz this would b bout their supersexy voices ^^

Leader U-know/Jung Yun Ho
Bass .. why? Low, husky, rich and manly voice. His vocal range is quite good as he proven his abilites in various perfs.. especially the "dbsg_sings" vid where he challenged Xiah in going higher and higher.. I would say he improves the most! In Hug, he does the verse only, doesn't require any adlibs.I tot all he could do was sing safe parts n rap.I was totally wrong!Proof:Rising sun & One.In RS, his shouting at the end "Rise Up!"..RAWR!he blew us off!That fierce & powerful voice! He did many adlibs in One too!

ONSTAGE - He seldom goes off-key, so he's really steady and confident. Be it high or low key, he makes sure that he won't go wrong in the perfs!!A dependent leader he is~^^

Micky/Park Yoo Chun
Bass too .. His voice is the sexiest~ blurred-huskiest~ manliest~ deepest~ penetrates the deepest into every fan's heart! He does most of the talking, rap in the song, as well as english parts.They r so pround that he's from the States-_-"he's such a fob!However, his english is still somehow better than the other 4..You know when he whispers "girl .. " I get goosebumps!That deep voice can just melt everyone's heart! he composed "yeo u bi" & did a great job expressing the song~y?that deep voice + ballad..what else can we expect?!

ONSTAGE - He's one of the bad ones-_-"he always goes off-key n sings really soft (probably he holds the mic too far?!)his voice is very unstable in perfs!usually it's him or changmin who spoils the songT.T(no offence,ling>.<)but the way he shouts "Now I cry under my skin...haneureul.." in Rising Sun, i find it so sexy!!FYI, they sang RS live twice!~
Hero/Kim Jae Joong
Lead vocal..On a bass key, he has that deep (not as deep as yunho's n micky's tho),sharp,demanding kind of voice;On a normal key, he sings in a soft, feminine and soothing voice, just like se7en; on a high key, he owns a strong, powerful, manly voice. It's so strong that it give u chills n that kind of frequency actually makes ur heart shakes!gahh!!!how sexy he is!I can't imagine him whispering beside my ear!He has the widest vocal range after changmin.In 'Tonight', he sings "I know our love is a miracle, keudae ne ane.."gosh!the way he builds up his voice to the highest note is SUPERB!! and whenever he does adlibs, his head will turn to the side..no idea..habit?U'll never c him sings in a painful expression, he does it calm n confidently.in most of their songs, he does falsettos, adlibs, of course the lead vocal starts the song..How fantastic can he be?!He is constantly improving in his vocals..

ONSTAGE - He improves alot here!!during 'Hug' days, he used to sing out of tune at the starting of the songs, once he even came in at a wrong beat for a 'Hug' perf!. But since last yr, he has been having minimal mistakes onstage!and duh..Falsettos will never go off-key~However,i must mention that, in jaejoong's case, the higher the note, the more stable his voice is!The moment he does adlib, it'll blow us off n our hearts will have earthquakes!It's THAT powerful~

Xiah/Kim Jun Su
Mid-lead vocal..His job is to harmonize Jaejoong's voice.Having a hoarse, sore-throat voice, he does the normal singing in the song, as well as adlibs. Usually Jaejoong n Junsu will do this part. In 'Miduhyo', both of them sang as if they r answering each other~ Then in 'Tonight', he starts off the song with a loud, persuading voice, as if trying to release himself from emo breakdowns!!His low voice is sth sharp n soft, but with a hint of hoarseness. His high notes r usually loud, husky,(boyish type of) manly.The other four always complained abt him being so noisy singing in their apartment n micky can't sleep!!XDThis guy,at the age of puberty, losts his voice n couldn't debut!he has to go to the field n shout for one hour!!maybe this was destined to be in TVXQ,that's y he failed to debut twice because of puberty~

ONSTAGE - The most stable voice.He seldom sings out of tune since tvxq debut, almost none!salutes*the most that i can think of is maybe 3 times..once, it was at the Voice of Children concert where they sang 'Tonight'. yeah..THAT'S ALL! It's so amazing how he can do it perfectly in every perf!probably that's y he gets to sing the most in japan perfs..

Max/Shim Chang Min
High vocal .. ("soprano" would sound weird).. usually quiet in front of the cam, but his voice could reach unearthly levels, even he himself doesn't know how high can he himself go!that stick's vocal is really unimaginable-_-"With this ability, he does most of the screaming, high notes aka the impossible pitches for the other four.In 'Hi Ya Ya', at the near ending part 'pyeoheoni seoteulgo..eosaekaji mollado..', he sings with his REAL voice effortlessly, whereas yunho n jaejoong does with falsettos.His low voice..normal boy's voice?Max's voice is really special coz
1. He could be as powerful as he wanted to - he's LOUD!-
2.His vocal range is amazing
3.He has various singing styles, not just one!^^
singing styles
i) sharp, "boy boy"kinda sound
ii)oddly freezing but calming ballad voice
iii)extremely sharp and high pitched used for screams like the "No!" in Rising Sun
iv)rough,manly voice for power-packed perfs

ONSTAGE - He has trouble controlling his voice all the while~ forces it too much..at his adlibs,he tend to get out of control~he needs to improve on this^^then he'll do well.. The good thing is that everybody can hear him, he's very loud! However, i find that he has been trying very hard in recent perfs!i can c a painstaking expression whenever he does an adlib.i'm really worried for him~probably he's sickT.T or maybe his voice is going through a rough time~just maybe! again, it's probably coz he's just so powerful. no wonder he's "The Strongest" as his name says it. hmm he's admitted before that he's not very good at singing but will try hard to improve.. in the 060522 MTV Japan Msize vid there was a short clip of them performing live and he sang perfectly and not as uncontrollably loud as before.

Love to hear them singing live. Although there's flaws here n there, but it makes an overall interesting perf bcoz we get to c their effort in trying to reach the notes! Then we also get to hear them breathe!!gahh..seducing!XDLipsync is just a cheating way..yeah..it's perfect but so what?Singer's job is to sing right?-_-"

Each of them has their strong n weak parts. However, each tvxq members vocal strength mend each other's weakness and combine into the most powerful vocals around the korean music industry!!it complies with the famous saying again, "TVXQ! 5-1=0"

Facial Features~<3

2006-05-03T04:29:00.000+08:00

Personally, I feel that 5 of them has their own unique facial features. It's difficult to say which is more handsome than the other. However, peeps who first saw them, will say Yunho is the most handsome one. (yeah...me too..i thought yunho was the most handsome one at first -_-") Zoom in...

Xiah Junsu
He has the most perfect, flawless skin ever. It is so smooth that every girl dies having it. I wonder what cream he uses..

FACE - He has single eyelid. SEXY EYES~ It's so small that i doubt anyone can see his eyes when he laughs.Haha.. I love how he listens attentively and looks into a person eyes while the person is talking. That's manners...

This lil' guy also has an adorable smile. So adorable that u won't have the heart to bully him! U'll go "awww...how cute!!" His upper lip is thicker than lower lip. Any indications according to the facial analyzation? (the chinese feng shui thing) :D A slight smile from him can kill!
bang*

LAUGH - He has an infectious loud laugh too, mind u, it's "euk ha ha ha ha". yeah...u can always hear that laugh background somewhere in those vids. I found myself laugh along too>.<" He gives out such optimistic aura that one will smile looking at him. I sounded like a crazy freak. bleh.. TEETH - Perfect darlie teeth~ how can this guy be so perfect?! mind u, natural, no braces!!

HAIRSTYLE - His hair always makes him look more mature and serious. But the mature hairstyles won't do any help once he smiles or laughs~ he'll still have the kiddy traits!!
but i love his Rising Sun hairstyle, the one with maroon highlights n black hair. That's just so oozing. why? because it breaks off from the routinely dye - all-gold, all-brunette. I really hate the japanese hairstyle, which is CURLY>.>wany is ok..but curls is wayy too far..like an aunty!golden hair for junsu is a nono-_-

I love how his expressions are straightforward, no hiding~ He's happy, u'll find yourself happy along with him. He's moody, he'll keep quiet.

Micky Yoochun
FACE - The most obvious part of his face - I'm afraid to admit - is his pimples scars. It does ruin his face, but who cares? :P His smile itself can kill the fans! I think the lack of sleep, the pressure being a star, plus he SMOKES...does contribute a lot to his skin condition.

He used to have single eyelids before debut. But now, he has double eyelids.. The papparazi claimed it's plastic surgery. On the other hand, Micky himself says it's from his family. It'll change to double eyelid as he grows up. Well..up to u all to trust whichever side.

He also used to wear specs. Went for laser as solution. However, I still c him around with specs tho. Wear specs for fun? or the laser was to decrease the short-sighted power only? He DOES look HOTTER with specs. I dono...it adds a hint of intelligence~

He has the sweetest smile ever among the 5 of them. I used to find him the most ugly one among 5 of them. However, as time passes by, i found out that he has the most sincere smile. Although sometimes there's a hint of sadness coming out from his eyes. The members say it's because he misses his family in the States.

The lips!!! It's luscious, kissable...(whatever tempting adjectives u can think of) He was even voted as the artiste who has the sexiest lips in KM last year.

LAUGH - hmm...about his laughter..i would say it's almost the same as his singing voice (duh..that's his voice -_-") It has that blurry, deep, sexy tone.

TEETH - no comments..usual teeth that everyone has..not sure whether his teeth is yellowish/brownish bcoz he smokes~

HAIRSTSYLE - he's really suitable for short haircuts. Hi Ya Ya is..shaggy, messy. Hug n Tonight hairstyle makes him look more polished, clean, n playful! However, the Rising Sun one was cool too! that ponytail is just suave!<3it>

Hero Jaejoong
FACE - He has near-to-perfect skin! And he uses water to wash his face ONLY~ bcoz his skin is sensitive. He smokes too btw. Without makeup, he's pale white, like a drug addict! he has chicken pox scars on his cheeks too! However, with makeup, his lips are just irresistable!!faints*

The most attention grabbing feature is his eyes r so big n black, like a doll! Once he looks at u, it's as if he can see thru everyth abt u! Junsu also felt this way at the 1st time they met!! When he's quiet, he'll have a cold expression. When he's in the mood, u can c him all hyped up n talks non stop! According to the members, u'll even get thirsty listening to jaejoong n changmin talk!!coz they talk so fast n NON STOP! At times, when they have interviews, he always have the blank O_O look? he'll nod, but u can feel that blank tinge. probably he's too tired~

His face is so feminine that it becomes a jealousy to girls!>.<" He was voted the most feminine-face celeb by KM poll~faints* i love how he always have lots of actions on his lips. Sometimes he'll have random, sudden expressions that make u laugh ur head off!wonder wat's going on his head-__-" LAUGH - "egh herh herh herh"that's his laugh~ i love his laugh the most!coz it's not too loud, not too normal n it has a hint of shyness too~^^ jiunn loves shy guys~

TEETH - straight, neat. white teeth. i was also wondering abt it coz he smokes.jz hope that he'll stop smoking coz 1)it'll spoil his sexy voice 2)his teeth will turn brownish.did braces too.but somehow, he's still not confident abt his teeth!probably covering his mouth while laughing has become a habit to him.

HAIRSTYLE - he usually has a neck-length hair.he never has short hair tho.miduhyo hair was so LONG!n he always covers one eye with his fringe.recently he got rid of that, coz it has increased his eyesight power!!:DTri-angle one was by far his most suitable one!it's so feminine!i find TWUA hairstyle funny, like kena electric shock!!XDblack hair suits him the most~

I wonder y he always have that sadness within his expressions?!i just want him to be happy!!whenever i c him smile,i'll also smile along.dono y is it so contagious!X_X

Max Changmin
FACE - Completely original, this cute boy's face is a delightful eyecandy even before he auditioned for SM. He has double eyelids and long eyelashes(thus extraordinarily pretty eyes), traits uncommon among typical Korean guys. That and his unusally dry, exquisite and wide lips plus his flawless complexion made his face totally unforgettable and handsome. (yling, i fainted at this sentence..u put more lip gloss for him lah!:P) He has a short bridge tho (the place between your nose n lips), according to fengshui, it means he has a short life!T.T nooooo!!!He is a beautiful picture no matter what his expression is, be it smiling, frowning(only in perfs coz he's basically good-natured), confused(yea his politely puzzled look is just so charming~) or even LOLing.

In the days before Rising Sun his face is always the "boy boy" look.. you know, like a cute teenage boy with slightly chubby cheeks, bright eyes and innocent expression... Then he starts maturing with such intensity it's kinda surprising!I mean, one moment you see him waving his signature open-palm move with a sheepish grin.. and the next you see a determined faced hunkie delivering a powerful performance with hardly a smile...

LAUGH - polite, quiet and sweet~ just like him =)

TEETH - you may already notice that his mouth could open really big during his shoutings in RS... what better way to show of his perfect pearly whites...

HAIRSTYLE - His face is so undefeatably handsome, his hairdresser probably thought it's ok to match it with anything( I think- don't kill me, hairdresser) - which explains his outrageous hairstyles, which sometimes surpasses JJ as the most shocking ^^ Max's hairstyles evolve from "safe" mode to "more and more bold" mode. like in Hug days his hairstlye is always the straight+downwards+brownish~blondish+kinda boring type. Then nowadays it keeps on changing, from the extremely ruffled and bizzare "bird nest" hairstyle in their 1st concert to the sophisticatedly tousled heap that makes him look manly.

The fact that he's the tallest member already creates some kinda impact and attract attention, like a crane among the chickens(this unusual metaphor is by Jiunn!)His refreshing, cute, thoughtful, clean and dashing face strikes deep into the hearts of many. Overlook his roundish nose and dryness of lips and you get a really charming Chang Min!!!<33333>

U-Know Yunho
FACE - Right from the start I've been unable to forget Yunho's face. His attentive eyes and clear complexion constitute a commanding look, catching my eye even when he's still and silent in photographs. Something about that intense stare of his. He has 2 scars on his face whichhe got during his hapkido years, also contributes to his manliness

Yunho will never appear really upset because to him, being a leader, he feels that he must be a pole for the other 4 to support... just look at him! Always cheerful and enthusiastic about everything he does... when he looks serious he's not terrifying and I hardly see him getting angry. He's the "poser" guy in the group alongside JJ... never failing to impress the camera! His eyes(or is it eyebrows) always arch or point in that cute manner, radiating a confident,happy-go-lucky feel.

LAUGH - almost like micky..probably bcoz they have the same deep voice..but his one has a trustworthy, dependable kind of laugh wheareas micky's one is a playful one. his laugh oso sounds deeper.

TEETH - before this, he has crooked teeth, which i find very cute n hot~but he did braces n all, now it's white, shiny, and FLASHY!!a disastrous move-__-"why??!!!it's so flashy n mind disturbing that in those dark backgrounds photoshoots, wat u'll notice 1st, is those white teeth!

HAIRSTYLE - I find his hairstyle is the most boring of all 5 DBSK members!! Seriously he should be allowed to experiment freely like what the rest did. He looked fabulous in the 1st concert and the LG M6100 CF perfs so why revert to his old short-spiky style?

Being the leader and the one that talks the most, he certainly grabs alot of attention. Why is he giving everyone a fantastic first impression?Coz he's the most manly looking guy, the most serious, normal, down-to-earth guy, then also the one that exerts the most confidence and individual style. hey no wonder they made him leader!^^

1st crit of our own =)

2006-04-30T15:15:00.000+08:00

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~^^

From 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.

Within these 2 years, they have stamped their foot onto Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Los Angeles. Sweeping fans across the globe proving "Music has no boundaries".

5 of them has individual talents, each of their individual strength make up for each other's flaws, combining them into a strong core. As the math sentence goes (specially for 동방신기), "5-1=0; 5+1=0;5/5=0".

동방신기 consists of 5 boys aged between 18-20 with an average height of 180cm.
