The meaning of "Dong Bang Shin Ki" or "Tong Vfang Xien Qi" is "Gods Rising from the East". They consist of a five-member dance team is made up of high school students who auditioned for stardom. Each member of Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK) has proved his talent in singing as well as dancing. Thus, the mould of the korean boy band was formed.

The Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK) boys were put in different groups among peers during their training to be selected for the band, which was already named Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK) / Tong Vfang Xien Qi.

The first to join Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK) was Kim JunSu (김준수) who was 12 at that time; he was brought into the program through a TV show looking for a new talent. He continued to train for six more years and debuted under the name of Xiah Junsu (시아준수; Xiah is pronounced SHe-AH in Korean).

The next TVXQ (Dong Bang Shin Ki, DBSK) member to join, Jung YunHo (정윤호), won his audition through a dance competition. However, he was no amateur--he had been a backup dancer and rapper for K-pop singer Dana. His chosen stage name is U-know YunHo (유노윤호; because when you say YunHo real fast, it sounds like U-know in English).

Kim JaeJoong(김재중), like Tamaki Nami (a Japanese pop singer), left his hometown to audition for SM Entertainment and debut under the name a fortune teller foretold years before: YoungWoong JaeJoong (영웅재중). He is also known as Hero, the meaning YoungWoong (영웅).

Shim ChangMin (심창민), was one of the youngest to audition; nevertheless, he passed the try-outs. He joined the band on the name of ChoiKang ChangMin (최강창민; the English counterpart to his stage name is Max).

Six months prior to the Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK)'s debut, a new member was added. American Park YooChun (박유천) changed his name to Micky YooChun (믹키유천). Originally, YooChun's English name was Micky, so he chose his English name to be part of his stage name.

The majority of the lyrics and composition to TVXQ's songs are done by their staff. On occasion, the members of the group contribute to the writing of the lyrics and composition. On their second Korean album, Rising Sun, Micky, U-Know, and Xiah wrote the rap lyrics to "Love After Love". For the third Korean album, "O"-Jung.Ban.Hap., Micky wrote the English rap lyrics to "Phantom Hwanyeong" and Xiah wrote and composed "Nae Gyeote Sumsiur Su Ittdamyeon (White Lie)" (네 곁에 숨쉴 수 있다면). Their fourth Korean album, Mirotic, saw an increase in the members' participation: Hero wrote and composed Saranga Uljima (Don't Cry My Lover) (사랑아 울지마), Max wrote the Korean lyrics for "Love in the Ice", Micky wrote and composed Sarang Annyeong Sarang (Love Bye Love) (사랑 안녕 사랑), and Xiah wrote Noeur.. Baraboda (Picture of You) (노을..바라보다).


For their third Japanese album, T, Micky wrote "Kiss Shita Mama, Sayonara" (Kissしたまま、さよなら, lit. As We Kiss, Goodbye?) and co-composed the song with Hero. Micky also wrote the lyrics for his solo, "My Girlfriend" for the second single in the Trick project, Runaway/My Girlfriend.Xiah composed his solo track, "Rainy Night", for the third single in the Trick project. Hero wrote and co-composed "Wasurenaide" (忘れないで, lit. Don't Forget?) and Micky wrote and composed "Kiss the Baby Sky", both songs were included on their twenty-fifth single "Bolero/Kiss the Baby Sky/Wasurenaide", as the last two A-sides. The songs later appeared on their fourth Japanese album The Secret Code, along with the song, "9095", which was composed by Hero.

Lyrics of Mirotic

In November 2008, the Korean Commission of Youth Protection ruled that Mirotic was detrimental to youths and declared that the lyrics were provocative and overly sexual. As a result, the album was labeled with stickers indicating that it was unsuitable for people under 19 years old and any performances of the song would have to be broadcast after 10 PM.[5][76] In response to the ruling, SM Entertainment agreed to make a clean version but also had filed an injunction to overrule the commission's decision
“ We will make a clean version in accordance with the commission’s administrative order, but since we cannot fully accept the ruling, we plan to make a provisional disposition with the relevant court to nullify the administrative order. ”

After the Commission of Youth Protection released their statement regarding the ban on the album, SM Entertainment said,
“ Even before when the order had been put against Mirotic, we have clearly negotiated and tried to explain the real meaning and explanation of the lyrics, but even after this the results came out unexpectedly and we are bewildered as of this moment. [and] Jumun-Mirotic's lyrical meaning is entirely different and miles away from the erotic or sexual that the association is making it to be. ”

TVXQ performed the clean version at the 23rd Annual Golden Disk Awards. The lyrics were changed from "I got you" to "I chose you" and "I got you under my skin" to "I got you under my sky."

In March 2009, the Seoul Administrative Court ruled in favor of SM Entertainment, stating:
“ We acknowledge that the lyrics concerned, including "You want me, you give yourself up to me, you’re crazy about me" and "I got you under my skin," may imply sexual acts, but they did not describe sexual acts or feelings excessively to the level that can stimulate youths' sexual desire... Even though we acknowledge that the young are more sensitive to sexual stimuli and less able to control sexual urges, the lyrics neither encouraged youth to have sex nor described women as object for sex. ”

On April 9, 2009, the Commission of Youth Protection announced they would appeal the ruling to a high court after having an emergency meeting and deeming that the phrase, "I got you under my skin", was inappropriate for minors.

Lawsuit against SM Entertainment

In late July 2009, three of the members—Hero, Micky, and Xiah—submitted an application to the Seoul Central District Court to determine the validity of their contract with SM Entertainment.Through their lawyers, the members stated that the 13-year contract was excessively long and that the group's earnings were not fairly distributed to the members.Early termination penalty of their contract will cost them 2 times the profit that the group is estimated to earn for rest of the contract period (over ₩11 billion, or around US$9.2 million). The news was enough to cause SM Entertainment's stock price to drop over 10% on the KOSPI.

The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three members. They have claimed that the contract was unfair and the members were left out of proper profit distribution. In response, SM Entertainment called a press conference and claimed that the lawsuit a big fraud, stating that the lawsuit was not about unfair contracts or human rights, but a scam motivated by the three members’ greed over their cosmetics business. The three members remained silent except to say through their lawyers that they hoped SM Entertainment would respect the court’s decision.

In response to the lawsuit, 120,000 TVXQ fans filed a petition against SM Entertainment’s long-term contracts to the Seoul District Court. Cassiopeia also filed for compensation from SM Entertainment for the cancelled SM Town Live Concert, as both SM and TVXQ initially stated that the concert would go on as planned; the concert was cancelled a week before its scheduled date.

君がさよならを告げずに 出て行ったあの日から
この街の景色や匂いが 変わった気がするよ
君のすべてになりたくて 交わした約束も
果たされないまま 思い出に変わってしまう

ひとりきりで君が泣いたあの時 すぐに飛んで行けば
今もまだ君は 僕の横にいてくれた?
できるならばもう一度言いたかった 大好きって
君への思いを溢れ出した言葉も 今は届かない

君はどこにいて 誰とどこにいて
どんな服を着て 何して笑ってるんだろう
僕はここにいて 今もここにいて
君と二人でまた会えると信じているよ

変わらず想っているよ
君だけ想っているよ

結んだ髪の後ろ姿に 君を重ねて
振り返る知らぬ誰かに 何度も勘違いした
着信があるたび 君の名前を期待したり
かっこ悪い毎日ばかり過ぎていくよ

忘れられないは言って嘘で 本当は忘れたくないだけ
強がりが僕らしさならば もういらない
君がいなきゃ 何にも感じない幸せって
どう頑張ってみても零れ落ちた涙は すぐに止まらない

君はどこにいて 誰とどこにいて
どんな服を着て 何して笑ってるんだろう
僕はここにいて 今もここにいて
君と二人でまた会えると信じているよ

だから今こうして 僕はまたひとり 君の名前呼んでる
これ以上切なさを抱きしめていけるわけなどないよ
でもそれしかないんだよ

君がいるだけで 輝いて見えた
あの頃は 二度と戻ってはこないけど
何が起こっても 何を失っても
君を愛したこと 決して忘れたくない

君がどこにいて 誰とどこにいて
どんな夢を見て 何して笑っていても
ずっとここにいて 今もここにいて
君といつの日か 逢えると信じているよ

変わらず想っているよ
君だけ想っているよ
変わらず想っているよ
君だけ想っているよ

하루에 열두번씩 전활걸어 확인하고
어쩌다 통화중일때면 괜한 의심으로
넌 또 메세질 남겨놔

이 시간에 대체 누구길래 전활해
있지도 않은 여잘 상상해 만들어내
숨이 막힐 것 같아 Yeah-

사랑이라는 말에 날 가둬두고
지겨운 잔소리는 쌓여 또 집착이 되고 No
널 지울래 다신 내 전화에 네가 뜨지 못하게 I said

You Got The Wrong Number
You Got The Wrong Number
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
So Don't Call Me No More

마치 넌 엄마처럼 하룰 다 알고있고
어디서 누구와 뭘 할까 불안하고
날 위한거라 또 믿지


관심이였단 말로 변명을 하지만
지나친 구속은 사랑을 더 아프게 만드는걸
끊긴 전화에 매달리면 뭘 해 들려오는건 뻔해
What To Say

You Got The Wrong Number
You Got The Wrong Number
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
So Don't Call Me No More

You Got The Wrong Number
나 갈수가없어
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
So Don't Call Me No More

다 지워버린 다 바꿔버린
너와 날 기억하고 있는 숫자, 비밀번호
언제라도 내 이름이 뜰 때마다 울리던 너의 벨소리
모두 다지워 Reset Reset

Rap)
Wow 미쳐버리겠다 닥쳐주길 원했다
너의 그물속에 바보같은 Fish 이걸로는 안돼? Cash
너의 사랑이 내 살을 도려내 아련해
오늘 나 머리가 아파와 또 다시 환청이 들려와
관심있는 척 날 위한척 이라는 곳에 난 그대만의 꼭두각시
No라는 소리에 모든 숨을 죽일 필요가 없는데
니 품에 있는 날 놓아줘 Say
벗어 날 수 있게 날 도와줘 Say
다시 시작 할 수 없을만큼 너무 멀리 와버렸어

You Got The Wrong Number
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
So Don't Call Me No More
이젠 벗어나고 싶은데

You Got The Wrong Number
다신 전화하지마
You Got The Wrong Number
더 날 사랑하지마
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
So Don't Call Me No More
제발 도와줘 그만큼 너도

Wrong Number. Wrong Number
I'm Sorry. You Got The Wrong Number
I'm Sorry. You Got The. You Got The
I'm Sorry. You Got The. So Don't Call Me No More

시작은 달콤하게, 평범하게 나에게 끌려
언제나 그랬듯이 먼저 말을 걸어와
모든 가능성, 열어둬 Oh-

사랑은 뭐다? 뭐다! 이미 수식어 Red ocean
난, breakin` my rules again 알잖아 지루한걸?
조금 다쳐도 넌, 괜찮아 Oh-

넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
헤어 날수 없어 I got you- Under my skin
넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
넌 나의 노예 I got you- Under my skin

네 머릿속을 파고드는 날카로운 눈빛
나 아니고선, 움직이지도 않는 Chrome heart
네가 선택한 길인걸 Oh-

혈관을 타고 흐르는 수억 개의 나의 Crystal
마침내 시작된 변신의 끝은 나
이것도 사랑은 아닐까? Oh-

넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
헤어 날수 없어 I got you- Under my skin
넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
넌 나의 노예 I got you- Under my skin

한 번의 키스와 함께-날이 선듯한-강한 이끌림
두 번의 키스, 뜨겁게 터져버릴 것 같은 네 심장을
Yeah~ 너를 가졌어 You know you got it!
Yeah~ Come on! Come on! I got you- Under my skin

네 꿈속에 난 널 지배하는 마법사 내 주문에
넌 다시 그려지고 있어 I got you-Under my skin

My devils ride, 더는 숨을 곳이 없잖아 그렇다면
이젠 즐겨 보는게 어떨까 I got you-Under my skin

넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
헤어 날수 없어 I got you- Under my skin

넌 나를 원해 넌 내게 빠져 넌 내게 미쳐
넌 나의 노예

I got you- Under my skin

Now I see this way
It's looks like purple line
Gotta introduce myself

触れることさえできないって　疑心暗鬼に囚われて
身動きひとつとれない　時もある
I really wanna touch myself.
奇跡を願っていても
自分の心が強くなくちゃ進めない　right now!

Purple line, let me set up my world!
誰も歩いたことないthis way,
夢を抱いて　生き方を探し続けてる
自分らしくmy progression.
強い気持ちを持って　勝ち遂げてみせる
情熱のpurple line.

試練が襲うたびに　心が制御不能になってしまうけど
逃げないさ
僕が成長してゆく為の糧だと
自分に言い聞かせながら　乗り越えてゆけ！　right now!

Purple line, let me set up my world!
誰も歩いたことないthis way,
希望抱いて　未来を見つめ続けている
願いこめてmy progression.
けしてあきらめないで　勝ち遂げてみせる
真実のpurple line.

今のこの瞬間を胸に刻みながら
映画のように時を描こう
昨日よりも価値ある今へ
進化を遂げる予感Imageして...oh-oh

Woop! 世界はblack & white.. 光と闇がsouth & north, like.
Woop! 善悪が微笑み　手招きしてる　信じた道を
Woop! 進めるように
Woop! 叫び続けているMy soul
we gotta purple like that. my time is still going on

Purple line, let me set up my world!
誰も歩いたことないthis way,
夢を抱いて　生き方を探し続けてる
自分らしくmy progression.
強い気持ちを持って　勝ち遂げてみせる
情熱のpurple line.

Purple line, let me set up my world!
誰も歩いたことないthis way,
希望抱いて　未来を見つめ続けている
願いこめてmy progression.
けしてあきらめないで　勝ち遂げてみせる
真実のpurple line

どうして…君を好きになってしまったんだろう?
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
ここにいると　思ってたのに

でも君が選んだのは違う道

どうして…君に何も伝えられなかったんだろう?
毎日毎晩募ってく想い
溢れ出す言葉　解ってたのに(もう届かない)

初めて出会ったその日から　君を知っていた気がしたんだ
あまりに自然に溶け込んでしまったふたり
何処へ行くのにも一緒で　君がいることが当然で
僕らはふたりで大人になってきた

でも君が選んだのは違う道

どうして…君を好きになってしまったんだろう?
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
ここにいると　思ってたのに(もう叶わない)

特別な意味を持つ今日を　幸せがあふれ出す今日を
綺麗な姿で神様に誓ってる君を
僕じゃない人の隣で　祝福されてる姿を
僕はどうやって見送ればいいのだろう?

もうどうして…君を好きになってしまったんだろう?
あの頃の僕らの事を(もう戻れない)
考えた…(もう戻らない)考えた…
どうして…君の手を掴み奪えなかったんだろう?
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
僕の横にいるはずだった(もう叶わない)

それでも…君が僕のそば　離れていっても
永遠に君が幸せであること　ただ願ってる
(例えそれがどんなに寂しくても)
辛くても…
