History
[edit] Pre-fame
The Korean phrase “Dong Bang Shin Ki” translates
Gods Rising from the East.” This five-man dance team came into
contestants of the audition were divided into
to find potential talents. All the members of
TVXQ were originally the lead vocals of other singing groups.
TVXQ has also gained a significant amount of popularity around Asia. They were the first
Asian group to win Thailand's Music Award for Best Music Video for their hit "Rising
Sun". Also, the first artist to win 2 Thailand's Music Awards: Popular Music Video Award
and Asian Most Favorite Artist. They are also one of the few Korean groups that can draw
40,000 fans to one concert and have sufficiently secured their place in Japan as well.
Their seventh Japanese single Sky reached third place on the Oricon daily charts,
making them one of the few non-Japanese artists to have reached the top five; it
eventually hit #6 on the Oricon weekly chart. The song was used as the background
music for a Baskin Robin's commercial, as well. As of August 2006, they are performing
with a-nation and will return to Korea to assemble their third album before recording
their 8th Japanese single.
The first member to
join was Kim JunSu
(김준수). He enjoyed
singing at his church
when he was little. At
the age of 14 he was
brought into the
band through a
televised talent
search which Moon
Hee Jun and Kangta
from H.O.T. were
judges. His vocals
won over the judges
and won him
thorough training for
the next six years
until he debuted as
Xiah JunSu (시아준
수; Xiah is
pronounced SHe-ah
in Korean).
Xiah was a
stage name
that Junsu
himself chose,
explaining to
his fans that
the name was
short for
"Asia," as Asia
is pronounced
"a-shi-a" in
Korean. "Xiah"
would be a
reference to
his desire to
become not
only a star in
Korea, but a
star
recognized all
throughout the
continent.
The group’s
second member,
Jung YunHo (정윤
호), secured his
spot in TVXQ
through a dance
competition. Prior
to this, he
accumulated some
musical experience
as a rapper and
backup dancer for
K-pop singer Dana
in her Diamond
video [1]. His
chosen stage name
is U-know YunHo
from his Korean
name YunHo which
sounds like "You
know" in English.
He is the second
oldest member in
TVXQ and is also
Kim JaeJoong (김재중) left his hometown in Chungnam to
audition for SM Entertainment. Having left the shelter of
home, he experienced poverty and strife before becoming
a celebrity. He debuted under the name a fortune teller
foretold years before: YoungWoong JaeJoong (영웅재중).
YoungWoong means "hero" in Korean, hence his
international name, Hero.
Shim ChangMin (심
창민) was grouped
with the youngest
participants in the
audition. Like Xiah
JunSu, he impressed
the judges with his
vocal powers. He
joined the band
under the name
ChoiKang ChangMin
(최강창민; the
English counterpart
to his stage name is
Max). ChoiKang in
Korean means "the
best;" "Max" became
an international
rendition of this
name.
Six months before
the group’s debut, a
final member was
added. Park YooChun
(박유천) lived in
Virginia for roughly
four years. Yoochun's
stage name, Micky,
written as 秘寄 in
Hanmoon (Chinese
characters)
means "hidden
weapon
which symbolises his desire to become a
"hidden weapon" in the music industry.
Micky was also his English name as to
when he lived in Virginia, United States.
As the winner of a talent show, he was
granted the opportunity to sign with SM
Entertainment in Korea. He now performs
under the stage name Micky Yoochun (믹
키유천).
TVXQ made
their first
appearance in
2003 during a
Christmas time
showcase
featuring fellow
SM
Entertainment
star BoA. They
performed their
debut single
"Hug" as well
as an A
cappella
rendition of "O
Holy Night"
alongside BoA.
The group eventually released two singles
before their first album in 2004. TVXQ
surprised everybody by being #1 on Korean
music charts 3 months after their debut.
For preparation
for their first
album, the band
recorded the
single “Tri-Angle”
with BoA and
The TRAX.
BoA’s profound
popularity in
Japan, alongside
The TRAX’s
evolvement in
said country,
helped to
promote the
awareness
overseas of the
new boy band.
In their career of approximately five years, their popularity has
grown to such incredible heights. With the releases of 'Always
There' and 'Rising Sun' from their second album and their new
Japanese single 'My Destiny', they took the Asian world by force
and has not seemed to be slowing down any time soon. And it is
also the third album . Now their fourth album ‘MIROTIC”has
become the best-seller instantly being on market. True to their
name, they have expanded outside of their native country of
Korea, directing their eye on the rest of the Asian market. But
their music hasn't solely touched the hearts of those in Asia but
around the world.
The Gods from the East certainly are rising..
