求东方神起的介绍

Dong Bang Shin Gi [also known as TongVfangXienQi (TVfXQ) in Chinese and TouHou ShinKi in Japanese] means 'The Gods Of The East Are Rising'. It consists of five young men Kim JunSu [Xiah], Kim JaeJoong [Hero/Young Woong], Park YooChun [Micky], Shim ChangMin [Max] and Jung YunHo [U-Know] from Seoul, South Korea. Though the band was constructed and put together by SM Entertainment, they are far from your typcial boy band.

They were discovered through weekly auditions held by the company. The only member that did not audition was JunSu [Xiah], who earned his spot being brought into SME through a television show. SME were looking for fresh new talent, hoping to form a new band. The rest of the members displayed their strengths in singing, dancing and rapping, which impressed those at SME, instantly earning them a spot in the company. It wasn't easy sailing from than on. The five young men weren't automatically put together, nor were any of them given a record deal but given an opportunity to achieve their dream. It would be years before they would officially debut, during that time, they would train to perfect their craft. As some of the members trained, others were put on to perform.

Yunho's [U-Know] first debut was not with the band but as a back-up dancer and a rapper for one of the company's own singers, Dana. It was later on, SME determined that his talents were being wasted and placed him in what was soon to be known as Dong Bang Shin Gi.

Their first performance was back in December of 2003, opening for major headliners Boa and Britney Spears. Those in the venue had no clue who DBSK were but little did they know, that the opening act, those five young men were destine to make a large impact on Korean Pop.

Weeks later, after their first performance, they made their official debut in Korea, unleashing their first single 'Hug'. The medium-tempo accapella dance number was the perfect introduction, displaying the new and young image of the five boys that would take Korea by storm. After the success of their first single, they released their second single 'The Way U Are', showing a new and different image of the five heart-throbs. Many fans were stunned and shocked at the new look of the cute boy band. Despite the new look, they would continue to make an impression on the Korean public, doing varies activities and events to spread the music that was DBSG. The success has continued as they released their much anticipated 2nd studio album 'Rising Sun' and through out the rest of their singles and previous album.

Even with their beautifully sang ballads and choruses Dong Bang Shin Ki is more than just an accappella group but they're pop [Hug], R&B [Tonight], dance [Rising Sun], and maybe even a little bit of rock [Tri-Angle & Free your Mind featuring The Trax]. They have displayed through out many of their singles and their two albums that they are not to box themselves in. They want to expand their music to touch everyone in all music genres. However, it is probably best said that the beauty of their songs are exposed at its fullest when not accompanied by the sounds of instruments but sang by the lovely voices of the five.

Five different men with five different personalities, yet alike in so many ways, all with one common dream and that is to perform. Being exposed to such fame and celebrity in their late teens, one would think that the boys would be at least a bit stuck-up but thats far from it. The boys are down to earth, full of modesty and are completely humble. They owe much of their success to the fans and constantly showing their gratitude and thanks whenever they can. The boys have learned English, Japanese and Chinese [though not completely fluent] to help them communciate with their everlasting fan base. With such busy schedules at the tender ages of 17-19, the boys still find time to focus on their education, attending school to work towards finishing high school or college.

In their short career of approxmiately two 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 are taking the Asian world by force and don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. 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..

Members
The first member to join was Kim Junsu. At the age of 12 he was brought into SM Entertainment through a televised talent search with Moon Hee Jun and Kangta from H.O.T. as judges. His vocals won over the judges and procured him thorough training for the next six years. After three years of training, he was supposed to debut, but puberty caused his voice to change and he was unable to sing until it ended after another three years. After six years, he debuted as Xiah Junsu (Xiah is pronounced Shee-ah in Korean). Xiah is the stage name that Kim himself chose, explaining to his fans that the name was short for "Asia", as Asia is pronounced "ah-shee-ah" in Korean. "Xiah" would be an implication of his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but also a star recognized all throughout the continent.

The group's second member, Jung Yunho, secured his spot in TVXQ through a dance competition in which he won first place. Prior to this, he accumulated some musical experience as a rapper and backup dancer for K-pop singer DANA. As a dancer, he accompanied many Korean singers, travelling to China as well. Jung debuted as U-know Yunho. His chose his stage name as "U-know" from his Korean name "Yun Ho"; U-Know is pronounced "You know" in English. However, it is meant to mean "Yunho 'Knows You'" in regard to his understanding of the other members as their leader. He is the second oldest member and the "leader" in TVXQ.

Kim Jaejoong 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. Kim debuted as Youngwoong Jaejoong. His manager picked the name Hero for him because he wanted him to be the hero of the music industry. Kim took first place in an audition of 5000 people, both in best looking and best vocals.

Shim Changmin was grouped with the youngest participants in the audition. Like Xiah Junsu, he impressed the judges with his powerful voice. He joined the group under the name Choikang Changmin. Choikang in Korean means "Most Powerful", or approximately, "the best"; "Max" became an international rendition of this name.

One year before the group's debut, a final member was added. Park Yoochun lived in Fairfax, Virginia for roughly four years before he auditioned for Brothers Entertainment and was sent to Korea to SM Entertainment.[34] Micky was Park's English nickname when he lived in Virginia. 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.

TVXQ
TVXQ!, an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi (东方神起), is a quintet South Korean boy band formed under SM Entertainment in 2003, and later debuted in Japan under Avex Trax in 2005. Since debut, TVXQ has since been one of the most popular groups in Asia, gaining great popularity in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and other East Asian countries.
TVXQ is known as Dong Bang Shin Gi (동방신기) in South Korea; fans often abbreviate the name to DBSG or DBSK. The Japanese equivalent of the group's name is Tōhōshinki, which is promotionally used in Japan. TVXQ, the acronym based on the Chinese counterpart of their name, is the abbreviation officially used on all advertisements and products outside of Japan. TVfXQ is also used, but not often. Their name roughly translates as "Rising Gods of the East."
Musical style
Although TVXQ was initially marketed as an a cappella group, most of the group's music is mainstream K-pop and J-pop. Their debut single "Hug" was a bubblegum pop song, where as their follow up single "The Way U Are" was a dance/R&B number, complete with stylized outfits and choreographed dance moves. Their third major single release, "믿어요" (I Believe), in contrast, was a ballad. TVXQ concluded the year with a Christmas album that also had an a cappella version of "Jesus, Joy Of Man's Desiring". With their releases in 2004, the group showed a versatility in style and has managed not to be permanently typecast as a certain "genre style" (as opposed to Fly to the Sky's R&Bs or Koyote's dance songs).
With consecutive releases, they have not moved from this formula, as their second and third albums have had a similar mixture without moving outside of the mainstream label. The second album's singles, for example, included a dance song (their first release) and a ballad (their follow up). The third album's releases have been dance, ballad and pop tracks. The group also recorded a cappella tracks for official albums released in both Korea and Japan, in which they rearrange original songs as a cappella versions. In the 13th single released in Japan, TVXQ arranged their debut single 'Hug' as a cappella track and performed it in their 2nd Live Tour in Japan.
In Japan, the group's image and music has shifted towards a different market from the one in South Korea. Owing to their more mature fan base in Japan, TVXQ has gravitated towards a cappella and melodic pop songs rather than the heavy and fast pop tunes, coupled with intensive dance choreography, that are commonly seen in their usual hits in South Korea.
