TVXQ, an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi (traditional chinese: 東方神起), stylized as TVXQ! is a South Korean pop group formed in 2003 under SM Entertaiment. In South Korea they are known as Dong Bang Shin Ki (Korean: 동방신기), often abbreviated as DBSK; and in Japan as Tohoshinki (Japanese; 東方神起). Their name translates to "The Rising Gods of The East".

The group debuted in 2003 as a 5 member boy band consisting of leader U-Know Yunho, Max Changmin, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu. In July 2009, the latter three filed for an injunction against their Korean agency SM Entertainment. This led to TVXQ ceasing all public activities and appearances after 2009. After a hiatus of 2 years and 3 months, TVXQ returned as a duo consisting of Yunho and Changmin.


TVXQ is one of Asia's most successful acts and they have been labelled as "Asia's Stars" and "King of K-pop" as certified by their Tone Tour in Japan for their immense success and contributions to Korean pop. Since their debut, TVXQ has released 6 Korean albums, 5 Japanese albums, over 20 Korean singles and over 30 Japanese singles. According to Gaon Chart and Oricon, till October 2012, TVXQ has sold over 11.1 million copies of albums alone throughout their career in Korea and Japan alone, excluding sales from other Asian and international countries, and 20 million copies in world-wide. TVXQ’s The Best Selection 2010 broke several records for being the first foreign male artists to surpass the 700,000 mark in Japan. They have two official fanclubs in Korea and Japan, known respectively as Cassiopeia and BigEast, the former which notably earned a Guinness World Record in 2008 for its size and is said to be one of the largest fan clubs in the world, boasting 800,000 fans in Korea alone. ©

Happy 9th Anniversary to my dearest 東方神起.

I thank God for letting me find the five of you. Your music simply touched me and I really appreciate the love y'all gave to Cassiopeia. Although the five of you have gone seperate ways, but do know that in Cassiopeia's heart, the five of you will always remain as one. The five of you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I couldn't ask for more.

Our charismatic diva leader - Jung Yunho

Our ethereal lead singer - Kim Jaejoong

Our emotional chunfez/trollchun/dork - Park Yoochun

Our sexy angel - Kim Junsu

Our snarky voldemin maknae - Shim Changmin

I wasn't there when y'all first started but it has been two years since I've been in love with y'all. Words cannot describe how precious the five of you are to me. The five of you taught me so much and I promise I would stand by each of you forever. My promise as your Cassiopeia. Thank you, the five of you. Thank you for creating such good music which helped me through a lot in my life, bond such strong relationship and dared to pursue what y'all wanted. The precious memories - the laughter, the tears, the obstacles and trauma that y'all went through  made me even sure that the five of you are people that I can  look up to. I'm proud of each and every one of you. I respect any decision that y'all make and only thing I wish for would be your health and happiness. 

Happy TVXQ 9th Anniversary... and counting.

Always Keep The Faith.

 東方神起's Cassiopeia,
