Five dreaming boys met one day. Was it by fate? Was it by mere coincidence? Or was it because their passion for their dreams attracted each other together, creating an undeniably formidable group of extraordinarily talented young men -

동방, Rising Gods of the East.

Debuting with their single “Hug” on December 26, 2003 during a BoA and Britney Spears showcase, they have continually showcased their angelic vocals, overpowering stage-presences and charisma, slick dancing abilities, and most importantly, humble yet hardworking personalities. With such winning combinations, it guaranteed success from the beginning, placing them at the top of the music industry and achieving the world’s largest official fanclub, "Cassiopeia".

Of course, as aspiring artists who strived to aim higher each and every day, 동방 ventured into the biggest entertainment industry after the United States, Japan. It was during the peak of their popularity in Korea, but they wanted to challenge themselves with something new. 2005 was the beginning of an extremely tough period for them. No one recognized them on the streets and they performed to groups of around 100 people in small places without proper stages. But they never said never because it was their destiny. They fought on with their tears, their sweat, and pure determination. Their courage and will eventually lead to countless topping singles and albums on the Oricon charts and sold out dome concerts. But maybe the most important achievement to an artist is being recognized as strong, vocal singers, rather than idols with pretty faces; and that's what 동방 earned, not only in Japan, but in the whole of Asia.

The achievements of 동방 are completely like dreams come true, but is it too good to be true?

What came as a shock to the whole entertainment industry was news of Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun, and Kim Jaejoong filing an Exclusive Contract Suspension Injunction against SM Entertainment on July 31, 2009 to the Seoul Central District Court. 동방 had no choice but to suspend their activities in both Korea and Japan as a group. As the court partially approved the exclusive contract suspension, Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong formed their own sub-unit, JYJ, in Japan under Rhythm Zone, Avex, carrying on with their own promotional activities. On June 25, 2010, JYJ once again filed an exclusive contract invalidity confirmation lawsuit, which confirms their efforts in trying to suspend their entire contracts. Shim Changmin and Jung Yunho did not participate in the filing of the lawsuit, which has caused countless debates and conflicts among the media and fans alike. Many issues have surfaced and everyone has been sinking into the bottomless pit of heartbreaking rumors and harmful assumptions. However, fans and fellow artists are hoping and waiting for the day when the 'feud' with SM will finally end, bringing Asia's most beloved and cherished group back into their deserved, positive spotlight.

One must see the cup half full, rather than half empty. With sheer passion and love for music and grateful attitudes that continue to believe that there is always something greater and more magnificent to reach, impossible is nothing. An invisible string of support and love threads the hearts of the members with their fans, linking up the beautiful emotions of joy and happiness that will continue on for a long long time.

As Yoochun quotes in their song 'Kiss The Baby Sky': "TVXQ - my Hero, my Max, my U-Know, my Xiah, and Micky, we're the one... eternally."

They are not working colleagues. They are not only members. And they are hardly counted as being just friends.

They are brothers, they are one, and they are, forever more, 동방...

Kim Junsu was born to a pizza restaurant owner and a former Miss Korea on December 15th of 1986. Younger by two seconds to his fraternal twin brother, Junho, Junsu was given his name by his father as it sounded prettier out of the two, and Junho sounded manlier.

In 1999, the 12 year old Junsu auditioned with Hyukjae, his best friend, through the Starlight Casting System televised talent search for SM Entertainment. Earning HOT member Kangta’s praise of having potential to become lead singer, Junsu was accepted into the company. But not everything was smooth sailing during his trainee years. Puberty plucked his vocal chords, hinting at Junsu’s worse fears: losing his dream of becoming a singer. Despite the doctor’s warnings, Junsu would purposely stand on top of his apartment, screaming and crying, begging God for his voice back. Miraculously, his voice came back, but with a unique and raw, husky twist.

Finally, after 6 turbulent training years, he became the first member to be cast as a member of 동방기. Junsu chose his stage name as Xiah Junsu. Xiah was derived from Asia, because he wanted to be known not only in South Korea, but in the whole of Asia as well.

Over the course of the years, he has earned many silly nicknames, with some of the famous ones like “duck butt”, which came from his womanly S-line and huge, perky butt, and “dolphin”, which came from his dolphin imitation on a Korean show in 2005. In Japan, Junsu became well-known for being the master of cold oyaji-gags, which caused Changmin to say that Junsu's face itself was a gag during their Saipan holiday in 2009. Furthermore, ever since his infamous “angel pose”, he has always been known as the innocent and naïve member among the 5 of them. However, no matter how sweet and bubbly he is, it turns 360 degrees when he walks on-stage. A seductive and charismatic man takes over, capturing the hearts and eyes of adoring fan girls with his charming dancing and mesmerizing voice. In 2010, he once again proved his manly sexiness with “Intoxication”, included in his solo single in Japan, “XIAH”. This, in turn, further encouraged massive amounts of positive feedback on his demanding stage-presence.

As the top baritone of 동방, Junsu has also ventured into the more musical realm, acting as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the Austrian-based musical “Mozart!” in 2009. In the 4th “The Musical Awards” in 2010, he earned the best newcomer award, as well as the male popularity award.

Perhaps the most grueling and hardest decision that Junsu has made in his life was to file an Exclusive Contract Suspension Injunction along with Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun against SM Entertainment on July 31, 2009. When you're faced with unscrupulous working conditions, unreasonable pay for intense labor, and downright ruthless treatment, what would you do? Because of these reasons, Junsu and the others decided to file the lawsuit to better improve the conditions, but after a myriad of yoyo-like deliberations and fervent discussions. SM's so-called 'pride' and 'esteem' was hanging on the line, so they didn't back down and relent. It was announced in October 2009 and April 3, 2010 that the group activities of 동방 would be suspended in Korea and Japan respectively. As the court partially approved the exclusive contract suspension on October 27, 2009, Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong had to freedom to form their own sub-unit, JYJ, in Japan under Rhythm Zone, Avex (April 14, 2010), carrying on with their own promotional activities. On June 25, 2010, JYJ once again filed an exclusive contract invalidity confirmation lawsuit, which confirms their efforts in trying to suspend their entire contracts. Fans and fellow artists are vehemently praying for the day when the 'feud' with SM will finally end, bringing Asia's most beloved and cherished group back into their deserved, positive spotlight.

Despite all of this, he didn’t do it for the fame or the fortune, nor did he go into show business to flaunt his God-given talents to induce jealously. No, Junsu did it because he loves what he’s doing; which is to sing. Although soccer ranks fairly high among his life’s list of passions, he confirmed that he will continue to sing for his fans, his wife, and for himself, until his very last breath…

Ever since his birthday on June 4 1986, Park Yoochun had always been living in Seoul, Korea with his younger brother, Yoohwan, and his parents. That is, until his family decided to migrate to Yoochun’s uncle’s house in Fairfax Virginia, USA in 1998. A 6th grade child is supposed to have fun, be silly, and never think of the future consequences. Unfortunately, Yoochun was robbed of his innocent childhood. During 1999, in addition to leaving all his friends in Korea and learning to adapt to the new environment in America, his parents became divorced, placing Yoochun and his brother in the care of their mother. Struggling to make ends meet, Yoochun had to take on the responsibility of the “father”, finding numerous part time jobs and looking after Yoohwan when their mother wasn’t home. He had to be the strong pillar for this side of the family, even though he was weak and crumbling on the inside.

In deep desperation for something that could allow him to channel all the pain he was going through, he saved up money, bought a keyboard, and taught himself the piano. Seemingly, his talent couldn’t be confined in such a tiny space at home, so he joined an American singing competition and emerged as the Best Artist of the competition in 2001. Going by the name Micky Park, he was recognized by an SM Entertainment talent scout as he conquered the KBN youth music festival, henceforth leaving America to pursue a music career back in Korea in 2003.

Being a trainee for barely a year before debuting as the last member of 동방 by his stage name Micky, the low baritone became known as the sexy, dandy boy with the deep, rich vocals. But however suave and gentlemanly he may seem, his soft, sentimental side still shows at times, labeling him as a truly honest man who wears his heart on his sleeve.

During 동방’s Tokyo Dome tour in Japan in 2009, Yoochun and Jaejoong presented their personally arranged and composed duet at the concerts, which later became their new unit’s (JEJUNG & YUCHUN) first Japanese single, "COLORS ~Melody and Harmony~". It was then selected as the theme song for Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary. With a simple melody that loops and intertwines with touching harmonies, it clearly shows how meaningful it is for them to continue conveying their feelings and thanks to their fans through their love of music.

However, perhaps the most grueling and hardest decision that Yoochun has made in his life was to file an Exclusive Contract Suspension Injunction along with Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu against SM Entertainment on July 31, 2009. When you're faced with unscrupulous working conditions, unreasonable pay for intense labor, and downright ruthless treatment, what would you do? Because of these reasons, Yoochun and the others decided to file the injunction to better improve the conditions, but after a myriad of yoyo-like deliberations and fervent discussions. SM's so-called 'pride' and 'esteem' was hanging on the line, so they didn't back down and relent. It was announced in October 2009 and April 3, 2010 that the group activities of 동방 would be suspended in Korea and Japan respectively. As the court partially approved the exclusive contract suspension on October 27, 2009, Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong had to freedom to form their own sub-unit, JYJ, in Japan under Rhythm Zone, Avex (April 14, 2010), carrying on with their own promotional activities. On June 25, 2010, JYJ once again filed an exclusive contract invalidity confirmation lawsuit, which confirms their efforts in trying to suspend their entire contracts. Fans and fellow artists are vehemently praying for the day when the 'feud' with SM will finally end, bringing Asia's most beloved and cherished group back into their deserved, positive spotlight.

Nevertheless, he landed two lead drama roles in both Japan and Korea shortly after. Respectively, “Beautiful Love” and “SungKyunkwan Scandal” may have clichéd and overused themes, like rich heir falling in love with Cinderella, or man falling in love with man, who is actually a girl, Yoochun’s attraction and intense acting, as proved from previous experiences, still grabs hold of fans by their heartstrings, causing heartache and immense jealously towards the female leads.

Overbearing emotions didn’t stop him from crying openly on-stage in front of the whole country at award shows, asthma and previous dog allergies didn’t stop him from being the proud owner of furry-licious dogs, and the lawsuits didn’t stop him and Jaejoong from etching “Always Keep The Faith” tattoos right above their hearts. Through his painful sufferings did Yoochun learn how to grasp and strive for his dream, knowing that he could succeed in anything he put his mind to despite the hindering circumstances. And that’s what fans have come to adore and love, his beautiful and courageous smile that never fails to lighten up anyone’s day.

A breathtakingly beautiful baby was bestowed upon this earth on January 26th, 1986, at Gongju, South Korea. His name is Kim Jaejoong, and growing up with eight older sisters, it’s easy to see where his cleaning and cooking habits originated from. However, the only things they share in common are their womanly quirks. Originally born as ‘Han Jaejoon’, Jaejoong’s mother didn’t have the environment and ability to take care of him, so he was given up for adoption. Only when name registration and birth date (Real: February 4) problems arose for army service did he find out about his real birth mother. Later on, a short-lived custody battle between his biological father and mother commenced, but ‘Kim Jaejoong’ now acknowledges both his adopted and his biological family.

In order to participate in the auditions held by SM Entertainment in Seoul, the 15 year old bravely moved there by himself and jumped at any opportunities where he could obtain money to pay for his ₩150,000 rent. From sending newspapers door to door to acting as a soldier in the movie Taegeukgi Hwinallimyeo, he used the money acquired from the job to buy gum and sold it to a female employee at a supermarket.

2001 was the year SM Entertainment held its second singing competition, so Jaejoong gave it his very best and passed the auditions, as well as winning the best looking award, not to anyone’s surprise. Debuting as the third member of 동방, he chose the stage name Young Woong (Korean)/Hero (English), because he wanted to be the hero of Asia. The main vocal first came off as mysteriously chilly and distant. But his cold stare and pouty lips were actually misleading signs that in actuality, suggested his ultimate shyness. But beyond those hauntingly good looks, he is just your friendly, guy-off-the-street who likes to talk his mind without beating around the bush. He is also very caring and warm towards the members, acting as their second mother, fussing, tidying, and cooking for them.

But not everything is as sweet as it seems. On April 7, 2006 at 1:20 AM, Jaejoong got pulled over in the BMW he was driving by a police officer. His breath test resulted in a 0.071% blood alcohol concentration, so because he violated traffic laws by driving under the influence, Jaejoong had his license taken away for 100 days, in addition to having him temporarily suspended from all 동방 activities. He promised never to commit the same offense ever again.

During 동방’s Tokyo Dome tour in Japan in 2009, Yoochun and Jaejoong presented their personally arranged and composed duet at the concerts, which later became their new unit’s (JEJUNG & YUCHUN) first Japanese single, "COLORS ~Melody and Harmony~". It was then selected as the theme song for Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary. With a simple melody that loops and intertwines with touching harmonies, it clearly shows how meaningful it is for them to continue conveying their feelings and thanks to their fans through their love of music.

However, perhaps the most grueling and hardest decision that Jaejoong has made in his life was to file an Exclusive Contract Suspension Injunction along with Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu against SM Entertainment on July 31, 2009. When you're faced with unscrupulous working conditions, unreasonable pay for intense labor, and downright ruthless treatment, what would you do? Because of these reasons, Jaejoong and the others decided to file the injunction to better improve the conditions, but after a myriad of yoyo-like deliberations and fervent discussions. SM's so-called 'pride' and 'esteem' was hanging on the line, so they didn't back down and relent. It was announced in October 2009 and April 3, 2010 that the group activities of 동방 would be suspended in Korea and Japan respectively. As the court partially approved the exclusive contract suspension on October 27, 2009, Junsu, Yoochun, and Jaejoong had to freedom to form their own sub-unit, JYJ, in Japan under Rhythm Zone, Avex (April 14, 2010), carrying on with their own promotional activities. On June 25, 2010, JYJ once again filed an exclusive contract invalidity confirmation lawsuit, which confirms their efforts in trying to suspend their entire contracts. Fans and fellow artists are vehemently praying for the day when the 'feud' with SM will finally end, bringing Asia's most beloved and cherished group back into their deserved, positive spotlight.

The bad-boy image is always reserved for Jaejoong, and with his abundant number of tattoos all over his body, that title couldn’t be any more perfect for him. Four worded tattoos cover the expanse of his upper back and roman numerals go down his lower back. On his chest, right above his heart, are two tattoos, one of which is the “Always Keep The Faith” imprint he received together with Yoochun. The other still remains a mystery to fans, who are eagerly dying to know what it is.

On November 11, 2009, ‘Heaven’s Postman’ was released as the first movie of the Telecinema productions. Written by Eriko Kitagawa, Jaejoong’s character is a messenger that has the ability to travel between the present and the afterworld. He meets Jo Ha Na, who is the only person that can see him, as she is trying to send her boyfriend a letter. Furthermore, on April 15, 2010, Jaejoong was invited to be cast in another Kitagawa drama, Fuji TV’s drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ (Hard To Say I Love You). The 5 characters in the drama meet through Twitter, and from there, their lives unfold in unexpectedly twisted ways that grabs hold of the viewers attention until the very end. Jaejoong portrays a "Doctor", who moved from Korea to Japan with his younger sister and works for a medical equipment manufacturer.

Kim Jaejoong is the legitimate definition of sexy. His rippling muscles, his smooth yet commanding voice, his unforgettable and unique laughter, his delicious sweetness resembling that of an unapproachable cream cheese cake, just like how Sekine-san perfectly described (Sekine Tsutomu: famous Japanese comedian/talk show host. Also a huge 동방 fanboy), and most of all, his story encourages people who are hesitant in fighting for their dreams. Despite everything he went through, his ability to reach his dreams proves that deep inside, there lies the soul of a true hero. His daunting center-presence in the group holds together and completes the bright, sparkling constitution of both 동방 and Cassiopeia.

Jung Yunho was born and raised in Gwangju, South Korea along with his younger sister Ji Hye. With his dad and uncle both being prosecutors, his dream was to be a lawyer too. But life for his family wasn’t exactly a box of chocolates. During his teenage years, his family met with financial troubles. Yunho willingly shouldered the responsibility of paying for Ji Hye to attend school, from shoveling and sanding down snow during the bitter Korean winters to fighting over a spot to sleep under a bridge, nothing was considered too low for him. Ever since then, he has learned to be frugal with everything, even collecting coins and putting them in a water dispenser bottle, bearing the dream of collecting enough money to buy a huge house!

Through many accidents and careless mishaps, Yunho was adorned with a calamity of scars on his face. One on the left side, one near his eye, one on his forehead, and another on his neck due to a surgery on his infected vocal chords. It became a chore for him to sing, so he put that aside and discovered his new craze, dancing.

At the age of 13, he auditioned as a dancer for SM Entertainment, becoming the second member to join 동방. Because he came from Gwangju, he had a heavy accent, so it was already hard enough for him to adjust to the standard Seoul accent. In addition, to make his voice sound clearer and to mature his image, he took out and changed his adorable “tiger teeth” that he had for 19 years. The Bass of 동방 then chose his stage name to be U-Know, because as the leader of the group, he wants to understand everybody.

But not everybody understood him. While the group was filming Heroine 6 on October 14, 2006, Yunho was rushed to the hospital after drinking a beverage laced with cyanoacrylate (adhesive super glue). It had been given to him by an anti-fan of 2 years who bore a huge grudge against his popularity. She turned herself in the next day and was apprehended on October 16. Being the generously magnanimous person that he is, he didn’t press charges; forgiven and forgotten.

Yunho has always been known to have a gigantic crush on the movie “My Sassy Girl”. He’s watched it over 100 times, the theme song “I Believe” is his favorite song, and his ideal type is someone like Jung Ji Hyun’s character, having a strong outside image but is actually a soft and meek woman on the inside. Maybe that’s why his character in the MBC drama “Heading To The Ground” (2009) fell in love with his female manager. His character’s dream was to become a professional soccer player, and his manager, played by label-mate Go Ara, fought with all her might to make his dreams come true. She appeared tough and fearless on the outside, but was just trying to prove to her father that she could be independent by herself.

Yunho’s individual activities did not cease there. In February 2010, it was announced that Yunho would be the only Asian artist performing in the Korea leg of the memorial concert “This Is It”, dedicated to legendary icon Michael Jackson. The project was the first joint production between Korea and the U.S. Later in June 2010, Yunho was once again confirmed as one of the main male leads, Prince Lee Shin, in the musical version of hit-television drama, “Goong”.

And yet, despite his busy schedule, he still makes time for personal activities. Besides studying at Myongji University, Seoul, his heart of gold continues to amaze and awe everyone. Being an Alumni at Kwangil High School, Yunho and his parents visited his alma mater 5 years after his graduation on February 2004. Yunho paid for the scholarships of 6 junior students, totaling to about 6 Million won. On July 18, 2009, he volunteered at an orphanage in Nam-gu, Gwangju City with 10 other people, including his father. They prepared meals, helped clean up, and Yunho himself spent some quality time with the kids. He continues this line of giving back by donating 5 Million Won towards the Haitian funds on January 20, 2010. This sweet, caring man can be compared to the likes of a pure and giving angel, sent by the heavens to touch and inspire people all over the world.

A compassionate, respectful, and sincere man; a faithful believer; a loyal friend; a responsible leader; a powerfully fierce dancer; a soulful bass that beautifully wraps and holds the songs together; the man who lead’s 동방, the Stars of Asia – Jung Yunho. He is the man.

Born on February 18 1988 and raised by teacher-parents in Seoul, South Korea, Shim Changmin has always been the studiously elder brother, governing over his two younger sisters, Sooyeon and Gi-yeon. However, his playful nature still shows through, even as the oldest, “mature” brother. Nearly causing his family to be kicked out of their house, Changmin relieved himself on top of their roof in second grade and ended up peeing on the woman living downstairs.

With the iPod as his most treasured item, Changmin had always liked music, but never bore the actual dream of becoming a singer. He really only wanted to accompany his friend who was participating in the 6th Annual SM Entertainment Auditions, but was somehow cajoled into singing, unexpectedly earning the ‘Best Singing Award’ and 1st place in the ‘Best Youth Competition’ with his powerful voice that could reach high notes flawlessly.

After training for two years, he was the forth member to join 동방, where he debuted as the youngest member with the stage name Choikang (Korean)/Max (English), which means “most powerful” or “the best”. As Junsu stole his cute image with his “angel pose”, it allowed Changmin to resign to his original self; from his once-planned adorable image to masculinity with a touch of coolness.

Always the shy member in the background of shows, his uneven eyes and slant smile appears when he claps his hands gleefully at a hilarious remark. He’s also considered the smart and level-headed member, and despite being the baby of the group, he has a quiet assertiveness and maturity that fits well with his sophisticated, model-esque looks. However, there are times when he insists and maybe even bribes the older members to call him "hyung" (Korean for an older brother) in order for him to complete the favor they asked for, much too his immense amount of satisfaction.

The top tenor of 동방 did not let his popularity and hectic schedules get the better of his private life. He graduated from Gaepo High School in 2006 and majored in postmodern music in Seoul's Kyung Hee University in 2009. In 2008, Changmin volunteered with his father to clean up the nation’s worst oil spill on the beaches in Taean, South Korea. What was supposed to be a private matter turned into a great act of philanthropy on news sites as another volunteer posted his sightings of Changmin online.

He may have a sarcastic exterior but deep down, he’s a very compassionate and caring person. Slipping a note to Yunho to remind him to eat because of his stomach problems and wishing for Jaejoong’s knee injury to recover as a new year’s gift are only a few of the many examples of how affectionate and lovable Changmin is.

Changmin's solo debut as an actor for his new drama "Paradise Meadow" is scheduled to broadcast sometime in 2010. It's a story about a divorced couple who comes back to their house to find out that there’s another chance of them to fall in love again. Teasers and even the release date have yet to be announced, so fans are anxiously anticipating any new updates to come.

When asked what 동방meant to him, he said that without 동방, he wouldn't have debuted into show business, and would be a regular student. This comes to show how important his bond is with the group, which sets fans' hearts at rest if there are, for any reason, doubts about how deep his love for the group is.

With his black-hole of a stomach, endless collections of special “videos”, and snarky comebacks dosed with extra dollops of humorous wit, it’s no wonder his fans choose him to be their 동방BFF – the down-to-earth, guy-next-door personality, which also happens to be coupled with amazingly gorgeous features that would cause Brad Pitt to cry with shame.

i'm so happy that the 5th thread is open!! :D

i hope that we can continue to support the boys with a positive attitude.

thanks everyone for all your effort in putting it together.

it always amazes me every time i re-read their bio and history. the boys have worked so hard over the years and as a result have accomplished many things that some can only dream of.

yuibkkko18.jpg

The real reason why i love them...

sometimes i feel sad about all that has happened within the last year...watching them perform always makes me realize that they truly are special.

no matter how many times i see this fanvid...it always amazes me.

@candybow

thanks for sharing that gif...it makes me lol everytime i see it. xD

cute chun!

@sygdbsk

"I'll wait for you.." i feel the same.

Moo! Well it's about time! Felt like we were waiting for the thread almost as long as this lawsuit to end xD (jkjk)

Thanks though, I know things like this aren't easy to pop out.

Let's make this the best thread on SOOMPI!

Also, let's all continue to support our guys, together or not! As fans we represent them when they aren't around to represent themselves, so let's be a little more mature this time around. I know that as soon as they get back together all these so called "big" groups are gonna be left in the dust so until that day comes DBSK hwaiting! Cassiopeia hwaiting! Fan Club Members hwaiting!

Always Keep the Faith! <3

CandyBow where is that gif from? It's totally adorable lol
