This is regarding the previously-posted International Cassiopeia Pre-Order Project.
An official community has now been started to assist Cassiopeians from all over the world in purchasing TVXQ CDs, official limited concert goods, etc for cheaper than other online stores and most importantly, have sales count toward the Oricon chart! It is a NON-PROFIT international fan effort - probably the first of its kind. :D
If you are from Singapore or Malaysia, you should definitely order via Cassiopride because you will be able to get it for a lot cheaper, as well as be able to meet up with other local Cassiopeians. Even better, the more people that order, the cheaper it gets - so spread the word!
Be sure to check it out: Cassiopride - an International Cassiopeia-TVXQ Support Project! (:
All orders for The Secret Code close on March 9, 2009 so place your orders soon!

[Trans] DBSK SHINE interviews, Part 5 - Yunho
Q: From the time you debuted in Japan until now, what is the thing that has made you the most happy?
A: As expected, the thing I was happiest about was being able to sing at Budoukan. This is because we really did our best, beginning when we came to Japan and performed on a really small stage, all the way up to Budoukan. Moreover, I'm really happy that our fans gradually keep increasing.
Q: I think this might turn into a conversation about "sadness", but when I was talking to you in the dressing room of Budoukan, you said even though in Korea you were really loved by so many people, when you came to Japan you felt lost and confused because you had to start all over again from zero as newcomers, right?>
A: But that became a good lesson for us instead.
Q: And so because of that, when you laid your eyes on Budoukan being filled by fans, weren't you all the more overjoyed?
A: That's right. But I don't cry even at happy times. I didn't cry at all even when we received a big prize in Korea. If you ask why, it's because I made a promise a long time ago. There are extremely painful memories of when I was a trainee.... When an uncle that I respected and really loved passed away, I had a really painful period of time. At that time I made a promise to myself. "In the whole of Asia, and the whole of the world, until I myself am able to become a human being I am satisfied with, I will never cry." But at Budoukan, I ended up crying a little for the first time (smiles bitterly). Seeing Junsu and Yoochun crying, I too........but I was really happy, standing in Budoukan. Because while singing and dancing, when I looked at everyone's faces, they had become one with us, and sang along for us with faces that seemed so happy. That was truly something that made me happy.
Q: That was really the best moment, wasn't it?
A: Yes. I always think, "I wonder if everyone who came listened to our music and was able to become happy." When I saw everyone feeling happiness, I was also able to be satisfied. Since in Budoukan everyone became one and seemed to be enjoying themselves. When I remembered the lifestyle we had ever since coming to Japan, when I thought about how we'd started on a small stage and were able to make it all the way till here, my heart welled up with all kinds of emotions.
Q: It was really a good experience, wasn't it? Now next, would you tell me about "anger"?
A: The thing I was most angry at myself about was injuring my leg and not being able to participate in "a-nation".
Q: It was last year, wasn't it?
A: Yes. The truth is it wasn't just "a-nation", but because I also couldn't participate in all kinds of events in Korea. Now I can laugh while talking about it, but at that time I was told by the doctor, "You might not be able to dance ever again. Your Achilles tendon is weakening, and it's a miracle you've been able to dance up till now." At that time, I really got so angry at myself that I beat my own leg. And I cried and cried and cried. It was such an important period for Tohoshinki, and because I wanted to be able to participate even if it was just a day earlier, from morning till night I played sports, I did physical rehabilitation exercises, I gave it everything I had!
Q: You're a strong-willed person, aren't you? Have you been that way since you were a child?
A: I have a personality where I definitely do things that I feel I want to do. Since a long time ago, if I start to concentrate on something just once, I really don't like it if I don't do it all the way till the end.
Read the rest here! (:

[Announcement] Donating in the Name of the Fandom
Dear Readers,
I have recently come across the plight of Yvonne Foong, a 23 year old girl who suffers from Neurofibromatosis Type 2. She is the author of the book "I'm Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell". I know about her because the company in which I'm working with acts as her trustee. So I can verify that this is absolutely real and not a scam of any sort.
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 is genetic disorder that makes tumors grow in the brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves.
She has become deaf in both ears. She has an Auditory Brainstem Implant that helps her to perceive sounds, but it is limited and may take many years to train. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be to not be able to enjoy wonderful music the way we do. Yet, we take such enjoyment for granted most of the time. She was also born with an under-developed left eye. So vision in her right eye is very important. It must be preserved.
She needs funds to undergo a Gamma Knife Radiosurgery on 28 February 2009, which will kill an optic nerve tumor and save her remaining right eye. The amount required for the operation is Ringgit Malaysia 94,000.00. As of today, she has only managed to raise RM37,346.62. The surgery will be done at Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles. She has gone through many surgeries since 2002 and have very limited physical abilities such as profound deafness, underdeveloped left optic nerve, low right visual acuity, poor balance and semi facial paralysis.and is trying to gather funds for her operation. She needs to raise in order to save her remaining right eye.
I am posting this today because tomorrow is Valentine's Day. A day of love. As such, I would like to gather funds from the DBSK fandom worldwide and donate it to her in the name of DBSK and in the name of the fans.
You may transfer your donations to the DBSKer Archive paypal account dbsker(at)gmail(dot)com by the 20th of February 2009. I will transfer all funds to her paypal account on the 21st February 2009 and send her an email. If you're afraid I will run away with your funds instead of donating, you can donate to her directly at her website by clicking the links below. Every cent counts, and your contribution does make a difference in saving her left eye.

[JE + SM?] DBSK to Guest in boyband SMAPxSMAP & Kinki Kids Show - Is this the end of the boyband cold war?
The top pop groups of Korea and Japan - DBSK (or TVXQ) and SMAP - have met on a Japanese program.
DBSK on Jan. 29 joined the recording of the popular show "SMAP×SMAP" on Fuji TV, hosted by SMAP. In a friendly atmosphere, the two groups talked and sang together. The program airs next month.
Previously, top Korean stars such as Jang Dong-gun, Song Seung-heon, Lee Young-ae, Choi Ji-woo, Ryo Si-won, kwon Sang-woo and Sin Hye-seong appeared in the program's "Bistro SMAP" segment. Sin notably sang a live duet with SMAP member Kusanagi Tsuyoshi.
The two top groups had already met Dec. 31 during an NHK year-end pop festival, the most prestigious of its kind in Japan. The two groups briefly met during rehearsals and DBSK later went to SMAP's room for a formal greeting.
SMAP member Takuya Kimura talked about that first encounter on a radio show last month. He laughingly said, "The room was small for ten healthy men. It was suffocating. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi's supposed Korean skills didn't really come out".
The Korean group's appearance on "SMAP×SMAP" is as significant as their first meeting last month.
Japan's Johnny's Entertainment manages not only SMAP but many other top notch idol groups including KinKi Kids. It maintains their popularity by having group members host shows on all private broadcasts.
DBSK is also scheduled to appear soon on a Fuji TV show hosted by the KinKi Kids (Domoto Koichi, Domoto Tsuyoshi). The "honeymoon affair" between DBSK and Johnny's is expected to continue for quite some time.

On January 29 in Japan, THSK recorded 'SUMA SUMA'(SMAPXSMAP) on Fuji TV with SMAP members, THSK appeared on talk show and with a friendly atmosphere they sang a song together. This sneak peek will be broadcasted next month.
Until now, 'SUMA SUMA', already had a Korean star as their guests such as Jang Dong-gun, Song Seung Heon, Lee Young-ae, Choi Ji Woo, ryusiwon, Kwon Sang-Woo, Shin Hye Sung on SMAP BISTRO corner, and Shin Hye Sung has a duet with Kusanagi Tsuyoshi singing "sky~ eternal love" live.
THSK and SMAP met for the first time on December 31 at the most prestigious show "NHK 59th KOUHAKU Utagassen". On the rehearsal the day before the show, THSK had a light greetings with SMAP at SMAP's waiting room.
Takuya Kimura on a radio show explainned about this, "10 people were filling that small room made a frustating situation" then he described, "even Kusanagi's korean didnt help much." telling a disclosed episode that hapenned that time.
THSK signed a contract for their appereance on NHK's programme with SMAP.
SMAP, ARASHI, KATTUN, NEWS, Kinki Kids, known as Japanese Idol groups from a popular management, Johnny, who had many kind of popular shows.
After their appereance in SUMASUMA, THSK soon will be appeared with popular duo, Tsuyoshi Domoto and Koichi Domoto from Kinki Kids, "Domoto Brothers". THSK also schedulled to appear in other Johnny's shows with a friendly atmosphere in the future.

TVXQ had previously guested in Utaban, which SMAP leader Nakai is the host for. It was that show where the DBSK guested with Koda Kumi last year.

*The cake on the right was sent by fans and says, "Thank you for giving birth to Jaejoong."

From her latest entry:
The last time my son came to our house and talked to me he held my hand and said these words~ "Umma! Umma's really lucky... even your younger siblings are kind, everyone's so kind and it's great... In the future, when I get married and have children, it's fine even if they are unattractive, it's fine even if they aren't intelligent, but I really hope they'd be kind! ..."

Today I found out...
Someone touched my purse...
It's awful...
60 manwon ($600)... that's really a big sum...
Someone took it.....ㅠ.ㅠ
That person... really... for a month... he'd be happy...
I was so sad I cried...
And the first person that came to my mind was JaeJoongie
Of course... family can never let you down...
When JaeJoongie first arrived home...
Because I was robbed... he bought me some meat...
I wanted to make pork bokkeum... kkk
I made it for JaeJoongie... kk
But in the end... since it was my first time making it...
In the end... JaeJoongie... he made it for me.........
It was really......... delicious.....
JaeJoongah... thank you... kk
This nuna will really... work hard...
That's why... kk you'll surely overcome Japanese (language)... kk
JaeJoongah... I love you......

Apparently Jae's mom has been having some problems with fans lately. :( I know there are a number of fans who hold their own views about Jae's family background and his adoption, but we don't know the whole story of what might have happened all those years ago, so as fans, who are we to comment? ^^

Jaejoong's Real Birthday. . . Feb 4th!
A shocking revelation by sparkskey@dbsgLJ, according to Jaejoong's birth mother:
According to Jaejoong's birth mother, Jaejoong's actual birthdate is the 4th of Feb.
She revealed it on her blog sometime in January.
She posted Jaejoong's baby pictures and stated that his birthday was on the 4th of Feb but changed it to 26th Jan for auspicious reasons.
Apparently, if Jaejoong's birthday was recorded as the 4th of Feb, it would bring him bad luck.

the only dispute on korean sites is the reason for the change in birthday. some people say that 26 Jan is actually his adopted father's birthday. but *shrugs* I don't know.
can't find his mother's blog to verify though cause no one wants to give out the address, though they say her blog is just like a fangirl's.
anyway, yesterday's Jaejoong's real birthday so happy belated birthday Jaejoong :D
So now, I actually didn't miss wishing him online (though I did know it was his birthday on the 26th)...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAEJOONGIE!
Baby and older Jaejoong with his birth mom, separated at the age of four. She seems to love him alot.
(He was brought up by adoptive parents, for those that don't know -- info here).
*RECENT EXTRA RELEASE*

Dude, this is even more special because his birthday is only a day away from my own. (I know, irrelevant to the news, but I can't help but be happy just a bit ^^)
