****************************************************************************

"Once we performed with TVXQ in japan, TVXQ's popularity is no joke, and later we felt like we were involved as a guest on TVXQ concert."
- B2ST"

Dong Bang Shin Ki is our role model. We think that Dong Bang Shin Ki is the best idol. We learn a lot of things from them."
- In Jun (DGNA)

"TVXQ is like a giant mountain that casts a giant shadow, and rather than crossing over that mountain, I wish that our group would be right behind them."
- Hyonmin (DGNA)

"All of us watched TVXQ as we grew up, and have had the dream to become singers some day. TVXQ is more than just an idol group. We don't know if we'll be able to sing and dance like them. Whenever we see them, we realize that we have a long way until we can try to be close to them."
- Jay (DGNA)

"It is all thanks to our seniors TVXQ that we're getting so much love from Japan. It should be known that TVXQ changed the Japanese perception of Korean idol groups and because of this, it has become easier to debut in Japan because the people there now pay more attention to K-pop."
- Supernova

"When I dreamt about becoming a singer, I always wanted to make my debut overseas just like our senior singers Rain and TVXQ. They worked really hard overseas and I wanted to follow their footsteps."
- Hoya (Infinite)

"I want to first start off by saying thank you to the senior singers who have made their debut in the country and have led the way for us. I heard of how TVXQ had a hard time performing in the country at first but because they did such a great job, we were able to successfully wrap up our showcase."
- Woohyun (Infinite)"

It's not because of the song. I think, Singer should sing well, They (DBSK) sing well. "
- Youngmin (Boyfriend)

"We all like TVXQ and Bigbang" - NU'EST"I like the powerful stages by seniors TVXQ, they are full of energy. We should hope to showcase such powerful images."
- Baekho (NU'EST)

[Q: who's your fav artist?] "DBSK. If you ask why? Because It's DBSK."
- JR (NU'EST)

"DBSK sunbaenim is the best. They're no longer an Idol Star, But I really enjoy sunbaenim's songs when I'm doing my activities."
- Aron (NU'EST)

"When I was younger, I wasn't really in the know about idols or singers, but the first idol group I ever got into was TVXQ. Out of the five members, I liked Yunho sunbae the most. He was just so charismatic and I respected his unconditional care and leadership."
- Chanyeol (EXO)

"After watching TVXQ's performances and hearing their songs, I was very touched." "TVXQ has always chased after different music styles, and their members all have very strong talents. Seeing TVXQ's music and stage makes me feel touched, and they're a very good influence on us. We've also started promoting in Japan, and compared to TVXQ sunbaes, we still have to secure a place. We all like TVXQ very much. We hope this time we'll use the chance to become more intimate with the members."
- Taeyang (Bigbang)

"I've learnt a lot from Dong Bang Shin Ki-hyung, I also registered in Junsu hyung's fan cafe and post lots of news and photos.""I've bought Dong Bang Shin Ki's CD and every time I listen to their songs I feel very good.""DBSK are a very idol group that everyone adores."
- Seungri (Bigbang)

"I admired them (DBSK) because they'd survived in a different country with different cultures.""Because we're in different genres, I've never seen them as a competitor. TVXQ is our respected sunbae. Their vocal skills are strong, and we've studied much of their performances and choreography. I've watched them stay determined to push themselves forward. They really are the perfect sunbaes."
- GDragon (Bigbang)

"I've been to Japan. TVXQ's popularity is even more extreme than we can imagine."
- Daesung (Bigbang)

"TVXQ sunbaes are very modest.Although they've already become Asia's top idol group, we respect the humbleness they display at all times."
- FT Island

"There are many groups coming out these days, and a lot of them look really good. TVXQ stands out among these groups." Dongwan (SHINHWA)"Back then, when we (Shinhwa) all gathered and saw TVXQ, 'Those fellows are so cool. It's frightening.' We never have the same thought like this before. We all acknowledge TVXQ's powerful song performance is really scary."
- Andy (SHINHWA)

"We admire TVXQ, who has been able to successfully make a place for themselves in Japan." - Super Junior"Watching DBSK and Super Junior brought me up to be a singer.."
- Zelo BAP

"When it comes to music, their passion is so intense that they're like different people, and that's what we admire."
- Jessica Tiffany SNSD

"Although they (DBSK) are already top stars, their personality is still very good."
- Kangta

"Out of all our sunbaes, TVXQ doesn't hold back, they've done very well." - Jonghyun (SHINee)"They're still the strongest group in Asia, can never be replaced because they're just too good."
- Alexander (U-Kiss)

"I've looked up to TVXQ since before I joined the company. I met then two weeks after I became a trainee during their 'Mirotic' activities. My heart was racing and it was an electrifying moment for me.""At first, I couldn't even speak. Though I've made my debut, I still feel nervous when I meet U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin. I still feel like just another fan."
- Xiumin (EXO)

"TVXQ are the seniors we wish to emulate and the embodiment of the goal we should strive to attain. TVXQ are able to fill up an entire stage with their presence alone, even though there's just two people. We barely fill up a stage with 12 people."
- Baekyun (EXO)

"When I was in 4th to 5th grade in elementary school, I liked TVXQ."
- Youngjae (B.A.P)

TVXQ vs BIGBANG :: BB OUT!

(Do you spot Bigbang's name on the screen?)


TVXQ In: Bigbang Out:

Around 03:02, they announce the name of TVXQ (東方神起) as a chosen performer of Kohaku 2009,
but interestingly that Mezamashi TV station had already placed a flower on TVXQ's name.
So, Mezamashi TV program must have known TVXQ's appearance at kohaku 2009.^^

Bigbang had mentioned many times in their interviews in Japan that
their wish in Japan is to perform at Kohaku this year.
However, they did not make it this year.
(In the Mezamashi TV we can spot Bigbang's name on the list.
And they had a special "watch" mark in front of their name.)

Everyone knows that Bigbang is a talented performer.
It is just being selected to perform at Kohaku is something very special in Japan.
Like Jero who made it to perform at Kohaku for the first time with TVXQ last year
had openly shared his dream in his life was to perform at Kohaku and he cried at Kohaku.

Jero wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jero

So, for the Japanese TV stations and the news paper companies to predict TVXQ's Kohaku
appearance undoubtedly is indeed an amazing news itself. ^^

Let us look forward to TVXQ's performances to come one after another in Japan
starting this coming Wednesday! Yeah!! ^^

TOP has a Baby boy!!

Welcome Charlie, the Cocker Spaniel puppy to the list of Big Bang's celebrity dogs!

The newest addition to the family belongs to the charismatic rapper, T.O.P. The dog sure is cute, just like the others, Gaho and Boss.

Big Bang's dorm must look like a dog shelter right now with the mix of breeds but who's to complain? After all, aren't we waiting for Seungri and Daesung to join in on the dog fest?

Big Bang in TIME magazine

One of Korea's hottest boy groups, Big Bang, has been featured in TIME magazine. Usually when we report about Korean stars in magazines, they are in the Korean issue, but not this time! The magazine is also known for presenting Rain as one of the "World's Most Influential People," which is also mention in this article. It seems like TIME can't get enough of kpop!

Big Bang was featured on their website as a Korean band that is currently trying to make it into the Japanese music scene. The article is titled, "How to Crack Japan: The Big Bang Theory." How perfect is that? The story talked about how famous kpop stars set their sights on the Japanese market and that out of all the Korean bands that want to make it in Japan, TIME magazine called Big Bang the "most promising."

The author doesn't cease with the compliments towards the quintet group as they go on about the group's "fluid raps and great vocal harmonies" and unique style of hip-hop music.

It seems as though everyone can agree that Big Bang has what it takes to be able to get attention in America. After getting in a big name magazine like TIME, which is a big deal for international artists, the boys just keep on proving themselves capable.

Congratulations to Big Bang for cracking into TIME. Check out the article for yourself here!

G-Dragon’s thoughts on being called a “herbivore”

"Herbivore" or "Cho Shik Nam" (초식남) is a fairly new term in Korea. Herbivore is a slang term that comes from a new phenomenon in Japan that refers to men who do not show off their masculinity. They're passive about sex and relationships because they're too busy and aggressive when it comes to their own hobbies, interests, which are often considered "childish." They're "rebels," don't have money-driven careers and don't really care about pursuing women. Want an example? G-Dragon, who has been quite busy lately with his solo album HEARTBREAKER, is often referred to as a herbivore. Now, what does he think of the term?

G-Dragon performed at the 2009 Wonderful Korea concert on the 27th. When the MC of the show asked him "Aren't you a herbivore?," he smiled and answered. "I'm not sure what it means but I think it refers to a person who dresses well. In that sense, I think the term suits me." He might be way off there, but its nice that he at least took the question positively.

When the MC joked "Herbivores apparently aren't into relationships," G-Dragon answered, "On the contrary, I'm very interested in having a relationship. I just don't have a girlfriend yet though." And I'm pretty sure that G-Dragon is VERY interested in relationships, judging from this infamous look of his.

G-Dragon also told stories of other Big Bang members: "Taeyang is preparing for his second solo album, Daesung is pretty well now so you'll be able to see him soon. Seungri is preparing for a musical again and TOP is shooting a drama. Everyone is working hard."

If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to check out his performance of "Breathe". Also check out the BBVIP Forum.

a super dupper thanks to allkpop. ^^

Dragon and Park Chemistry

The eye contact between's Big Bang's leader G-Dragon and 2NE1's weiner, Sandara Park aka Dara was a hot issue today.

G-Dragon performed today at Korea's Global Gathering event and had KUSH as well as Dara join him on stage. G-Dragon's new album is not only consisted of well written songs but also features many great artists from Teddy to CL to Dara to KUSH.

When Dara joined him on stage for their duet song, Hello, people noticed the amazing chemistry between the two performers. Netizens commented, "Are they dating?", "Alright, just go out already!", "Aww they would be a young boy-older woman couple!", and "They both have a cute face so they look good together." I won't mention the jealous fans but there was one comment that caught my eye. It's a bit off topic but... "Dara kind of looks like BoA." Doesn't she?

Though we all know that it's not love that is bringing the enthusiastic performance, it's their amazing stage persona.
Here is a fancam of the performance:

Girls’ Generation’s Global Language Skills

After seeing CL speak English, we now have SNSD / Girls' Generation turn at speaking other languages. It's been mentioned Girls' Generation can speak many languages but we got to see it all at once during the press conference of the Asian Song Festival.

After leader TaeYeon introduced her group and how honored the whole group is to be there she passed down the microphone to SooYoung who spoke in Japanese. Then it was Tiffany who gave a speech in English followed by HyoYeon who said a quick thank you in Chinese.

All the idol groups have been proving their skills in not only performing but knowledge of other cultures these days. We know 2NE1 speaks six languages, and there are so many international members in idol groups.

We can now see Girl's Generation definitely has some talented foreign language skills.

2009 Asia Song Festival

The 6th Asia Song Festival is finally upon us, and it is just as spectacular (hot - see Dara) as the ones preceding it in the previous years.

Although there were a few notable non-attendees, namely Super Junior's Kangin, and Big Bang's Daesung, the show was still nothing less than sensational. Although with such an impressive list of performers, it's hard to go wrong. Add to the fact that this event is free only serves to sweeten the deal.

It's great that the goal is to raise the competitiveness of Asian Music in the global market, but honestly, we're all here for the performances. It's unfortunate that the video of the broadcast hasn't aired yet (only wrap-up and press conferences) but here are some of the photos:
