[SHOW + NEWS] DBSK have made their fans laugh once again on SBS's "Chocolate"


Dong Bang Shin Ki have made their fans laugh once again.

The group, who have just recently released their 4th album, 주문-미로틱(MIROTIC) featured and performed on SBS's Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate: DBSK Special on the 27th of September.

The Dong Bang Shin Ki members shared many stories with MC Kim Jung Eun and their fans in the audience, making gestures towards the fans when responding to the MC's questions.

While the members were sharing stories about how they have lived together since their debut, U-Know Yunho said "Since we all live together, our underwear always gets mixed up. Because of this, one of the members started to label his underwear."

"And that member was U-Know Yunho." Young Woong JaeJoong revealed, making Yunho feel awkward. "Recently, our manager's underwear has also gotten mixed up with our own. If our manager realises that we're wearing his underwear and he gives it to us, we're happy - but our underwear keeps disappearing." the Dong Bang boys revealed, making their fans and the audience roll over with laughter.

When Kim Jung Eun asked who the dirtiest DBSK member was, DBSK replied "We all clean oftenly. But when we arrived in Japan, Junsu didn't unpack the suitcase with his clothes in it. When compared to the rest of the members, Junsu is the laziest." Yoochun also added, "Junsu planned on not unpacking his clothes at all, until we would have to leave."

"In the end, Junsu never unpacked his clothes." To which Junsu replied, "I didn't need to unpack my clothes. I just wore other clothes which I'd put elsewhere!" causing the audience to burst into laughter once more.

At one stage, 7 year old blind pianist, Yoo Yae Un along with Super Junior Happy appeared on the show as special guests with their own performance. Dong Bang Shin Ki also performed five songs - The title song of their 4th album, 주문(MIROTIC), Love In The Ice, Balloons, Miduhyo (Trust me) and Hug - to the hot response of their audience.

'Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate - Dong Bang Shin Ki Special' will be broadcast by SBS at 12:30 am on the 1st of October.

Ah~ Can't wait to see the show :D This episode they described with their underwear switch was actually mentioned on a Japanese show "The M" they appeared on a few months ago, and some random bunch of actors did a HILARIOUS reenactment of it (basically pretended to be the DBSK members and did a skit)! A must see:


(This is not the same show that is mentioned in the article; the Korean show will be aired on Oct 1)

DBSK Inspires Charitable Donations; Fans donate 20 million won

Recent fancams of DBSK members with a blind piano prodigy melted hearts all over the world, while the comeback stage made fangirls scream their heads off. Now, leader Yunho’s fans give him a truly special gift.

After their first promotional performance on the 28th, Yunho’s fans gave him a receipt of a donation made in his name to a children’s foundation, in the amount of 20,000,000 won ($17,000 US).

Yunho was very touched by this gesture, and said this was the best present he could have hoped for, especially since he refused the fans’ extravagant birthday presents to him, and asked them to give the presents to those who need them more. It seems the fans really listened.

Some may say the boys are boring goody two-shoes, but I say DBSK is exactly what idols should be: inspiring and talented role models.

Now this is what I call fandom. The people at withyoonho collected and made such a huge difference to the lives of so many kids in just 4 weeks! Way to go.

U-Know Yunho pointed out that, “BoA is a very hardworking singer, didn’t she overcome her difficulties and win over Japan,” and that it will be a good influence for BoA when she enters America.

Choi Kang Chang Min, “We may not know the American Music Market that well but with BoA’s hard work she can do it.”

The title song ‘주문-MIROTIC’ will be available to the public on all music sites on September 19. On the 21st in front of City Hall, TVXQ will have their first 4th album promotional activity in their “Dong Bang Shin Ki Autumn Mini Concert.”

    TVXQ / DBSK’s 4TH ALBUM PRE-ORDERS BREAK RECORD


    Two years after their “O-Union” album, TVXQ is now finally set to release their 4th Korean album!

    Amazingly, on the first day, according to SM Entertainment, the number of people that pre-ordered the album broke records. Reportedly the pre-orders were already a whopping 200,000 just on the first day. When TVXQ released their first album (Tri-Angle), it was only 10,000. During their second album (Rising Sun), they got 130,000 pre-orders. On their 3rd album “O-Union” pre-orders on the first 2 days reached 100,000.

    TVXQ has been a very busy group. They have been concentrating in Japan for almost a year or two and their popularity has truly skyrocketed across Asia, making international music audiences curious. Now that their 4th album is set for release, not only their Korean fans, but also International fans, are buying the album.

    Fans across Korea have been waiting for TVXQ to make a comeback in their homeland. These Korean fans have been anticipating an album release since last year. That much wait must have been frustrating. But fans still show their support and love despite it all. In fact their support seem to have gotten even bigger.

    It is expected that TVXQ will take home some prestigious awards by the end of 2008. According to our source, last year’s Golden Disk Awards top record was 150,000 record sales. But now that TVXQ has already received a big 200,000 pre-orders on the first day, what more when the album is officially released? It is predicted that their record sales might even reach to 500,000 or more!

    The 4th album release is set for September 2008. TVXQ is now currently busy recording songs for the new album. Fans have been spotting them in and out of SM Entertainment’s office for the past weeks. Reportedly, TVXQ will be releasing a Korean version of their Japanese song Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara (As We Kissed Goodbye), which was written and composed by TVXQ members, Micky Yoochun and Hero Jaejoong collaborated on this song.

    Indeed, TVXQ is becoming better and better as they grow with their music. They have proved that they deserve more than be called “idols” in Korea. And we already know that they have become more than that.
