TVXQ is a Korean band (Korean Wave) that has gained popularity in Japan, Taiwan, China, and other East-Asian countries. TVXQ is referred to by various names, its Korean title being 'Dong Bang Shin Gi/Ki (동방신기), which is abbreviated to either DBSK or DBSG. The Japanese equivalent is Tōhōshinki (東方神起). Although the group is synonymous with numerous tags, its official name is Tong Vfang Xien Qi. The group debuted in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China approximately in 2004. TVXQ is composed of five male members specializing in the areas of dance, A cappella, various drama acting, and pop with an R&B vibe.
The Five Members From Eldest to Youngest:
1. Kim Jae Joong (김재중 or HERO 在中)
2. Jung Yun Ho (정윤호 or U-know 允浩)
3. Park Yoo Chun (박유천 or Micky 有天)
4. Kim Jun Su (김준수 or Xiah 俊秀)
5. Shim Chang Min (심창민 or MAX 昌珉)

History

The Korean phrase Dong Bang Shin Ki translates almost literally into Gods Rising From The East. This five-man dance team came into being after an audition in 2004. The contestants of the audition were divided into groups of their peers and received training to find potential talents.The first member to join was Kim JunSu (김준수). At the age of 14 he was brought into the band through a televised talent search. His vocals won over the judges and won him thorough training for the next six years until he debuted as Xiah JunSu (시아준수; Xiah is pronounced SHe-AH in Korean).The groups next member, Jung YunHo (정윤호), 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. His chosen stage name is U-know YunHo (유노윤호; YunHo sounds like you know in English).Kim JaeJoong (김재중), like Japanese pop singer Tamaki Nami, left his hometown in Chungnam to audition for SM Entertainment. Having left the shelter of home, he experienced poverty and strife before becoming the successful artist he is today. He debuted under the name a fortune teller foretold years before: YoungWoong JaeJoong (영웅재중, also known as Hero which is the English equivalent).Shim ChangMin (심창민) was grouped with the youngest participants in the audition. Like Xiah JunSu, he impressed the judges with his vocal prowess. He joined the band under the name ChoiKang ChangMin (최강창민; the English counterpart to his stage name is Max).Six months before the groups debut a final member was added. Park YooChun (박유천) lived in Virginia for roughly 4 years with an Americanized name, Micky. 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.TVXQ made their first appearance in 2003 during a Christmastime showcase featuring fellow SM Entertainment star BoA and Britney Spears. 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.For preparation for their first album, the band recorded the single Tri-Angle with BoA and The TRAX. BoAs profound popularity in Japan, alongside The TRAXs evolvement in said country, helped to promote the awareness overseas of the new boy band.Tong Vfang Xien Qi has also released albums and singles in China. SM Entertainment had once even considered adding a Chinese member to the group to help boost popularity within the country. However, SM Entertainment has abandoned the idea due to the overflowing amount of complaints from their fan group Cassiopeia (named after the constellation near the Big Dipper).Their single Rising Sun from the self-titled album has enjoyed great popularity in Korea, China, Taiwan, and Singapore.Their musical talent, pretty-boy looks, and charisma helped to drive the sensational group into a chart-topping force. TVXQ has toured in concerts, made guest appearances, and participated in numerous commercials throughout several Asian countries. Their apparent omnipresence in Asia perhaps solidifies the meaning behind their name.
