it's been awhile ...how are u guyz
Happy valentine's day everyone
Hello Rainy! So much time without talking to you!
I'm fine, thank you. I hope you're fine too. 
LMAO..yoochun!!..this never gets old..what were they thinking anyway while composing the lyrics!!!..
Hello! I think we haven't talked before, so nice to meet you!

As you know, "Purple Line" lyrics are, basically, about fighting against the life obstacles to be able to achieve your dreams. Probably the meter of the ideal verse in English wouldn't have fit the other ones, so they decided to make it shorter with the "I really wanna touch myself" instead of "I really wanna get in touch with myself", but yeah they know what they did there...

You, kind soul, that gave me the "Loved" banner, thank you.

Clio where have you been

Hello! Well, some university assignments and those things... But always is nice to communicate with you.

yesss i want you to teach me everything

I'll teach you everything and more.

If you upload a vid of you playing i promise i will give you the first 1000 views lol
oh oppa
1. They ship themselves.
2. Luna's mom is going to accept Soul oppa because they're united by the ties of music.
(Should I write a fic?)3. They're not afraid to show their love to the world.
Souluna/Lunaist is more than real. This ship gives me so many feels, I can't.

Do you think Teru ships SouLuna

I was going to ask you both, to choose one but I guess this is going to be the official one, right?

Nada, good job!

OMG! Is he trying to seduce me? I do that all the time! My parents/friends say that it looks ugly, but I think it's fun(?). Chunnie understands me.

For loads of Chunface, may I direct you all here:

Enjoy!

ETA: Okay, that thread is gold, I'm dying with this.
Those threads are pure gold.
To all the people that helped to create them: a big thank you.

Daaaaaaaamn that was a lot LOL. But it was a very interesting read, so I appreciate the fact that you wrote all this. I actually didn't know about many of the things you mentioned. This makes a lot of sense, tbh. Thank you!
You really do deserve your spot in the Wise Trio

You're welcome! I like those topics, so it was fun to write it. I thought probably the thing began somewhere over there, but it actually can be the other motives that have been mentioned. And thank you, you're very kind! (but I'm still an apprentice).
hmm I've honestly looked into the naming issue a lot and I've never heard this story. I'd take it with a grain of salt. it sounds more like a retroactive justification for people who don't want to call the present TVXQ as DBSK because, like you said, to them "DBSK isn't DBSK unless it's five." I've never seen any actual evidence for it. plus if it was from 2011, a pretty contentious era since it was the year TVXQ returned as a duo, I wouldn't be surprised if it was forwarded by fans with ulterior motives since many people were seeking to bring them down for various reasons back then. but of course I could be wrong... that's just the impression I get since this is the first time I'm hearing of it.
I think TVXQ has gained favour over DBSK in recent years because it's not so Korea-specific, and TVXQ was always meant to appeal to and be known across all of Asia. the TVXQ! moniker has been around for longer than a lot of casual fans assume, it just wasn't the popular nomenclature until more recent years I guess.
I wonder how it became an OT5 thing too. honestly I just think it was perpetuated by JJ and Yoochun's fans to the point where other fans latched onto it. not me though, obviously, lol. I'd rather it just stay with them if it means something to them, and not be twisted into whatever people want to conveniently believe it means for themselves. but then everything in fandom is politics...
anyway what's up thread. I finally got a job today so my mind is whirring with possibilities...
I think what differentiates this article from previous ones is that is richer, I mean the lawyer in this one didn't just quote the Korean Patent Law, but also she explained why and how said law would justify the rejection (I would emphasized that she just mentioned the DBSK copyright issue to give an example of what could be KARA's situation in that aspect). But like you know, and has been established here, the copyright situation is not the same now.
I totally agree with what you wrote about information being distorted. When I began to search info about the two groups, one of the first websites that I read said that the application was denied to SM because the name just could be comercialized like that when they were five, but they didn't specify the time, motives or legal base, so I searched a little bit and the thing (as expected) wasn't as clear as it seemed. The same happened with AKTF, when I read it the first time for me it was like an official motto or something like that.
So when Souloist asked the question, the first that came into my mind was what I read in that page. I don't think every person is going to read it (since the info is still there) and search why that was established, on what it was based or if it was old; I think a lot of people would assume it as a fact (not necessarily always). I think this kind of info should be especially well sustained, so it wouldn't be distorted (even if sometimes there aren't bad intentions) and people wouldn't begin to judge everything and everyone based in the part that fit their interest.
Anyway, I guess I'm just complicating things a little bit, but I thought the copyright issue could have been a possible motive to the DBSK = 5 and to use TVXQ! to the duo, because the mayority of the times that I read: "DBSK just exists when they are five" I thought that it was so precise that it had to come from somewhere so I associated it with those aspects, but probably is what you all have replied related to international appealing, aesthetical aspect, etc.
P.S.: Congrats on your job! I wish you a lot of success.

Question time!
Do you guys associate the term "DBSK" with DB5K only, and TVXQ as "TVXQ2"?*
Or do you usually use them interchangeably?
*Even though DBSK = TVXQ
I get the feeling that people use DBSK to represent DB5K, and TVXQ for TVXQ2.
Or is that just me?
Well I’m not sure but I think some people/non-fans/OT5 began to use “DBSK†(to make reference to the old lineup) and “TVXQ!†(to make reference to the duo) with different meaning, because of what the Korean Trademark Office said about the five members and what they represented according to Korean law as a group at the time (which would be the same that the duo represents currently).
There was an article by a lawyer from around 2011 (if I remember well) in which that was explained. There are two important parts in the article:
1. It was written that according to Korean law SM couldn’t file an application for “DBSK†(Korean characters) because it was related to specific people and their consent was needed (through their parents because they were minors at the time). Seems like the parents didn’t give the consent due to certain motives that weren’t specified (if someone knows…).
2. SM filed an application to register “TVXQ!†and the Chinese characters, so they owned it.
So the idea that “DBSK†belonged to the five of them stayed in the fans’ minds and probably it was spread it (which, before the end of the lawsuit, wasn’t completely wrong); but that didn’t happen with “TVXQ!†since SM filed the registration. It would be like: “SM owns the ‘TVXQ!’ name but not the ‘DBSK’ one, so ‘DBSK’ just exists when they are five, and since SM owns TVXQ! name the duo can be called like thatâ€. I’ve read fans asking; “Why do you call them HoMin?" and I’ve read answers like: “Because they are ‘DBSK’ just when they 5 are togetherâ€. I asked that myself and I received a similar answer.
Well currently (and after the lawsuit and everything) the people involved with “DBSK†are Yunho and Changmin as we know, so probably (and being adults) they gave their consent and now “DBSK†(Korean characters) belongs, also, to SM.
So yes, DBSK = TVXQ!
It would be totally correct if you say: “I love DBSK’s ‘Mirotic’ video and also I love DBSK ‘Catch Me’ videoâ€. But to specify the old lineup we all, like it has been written, would use “DB5K†for the “Mirotic†video.
I wrote general (and resumed) ideas, I’m sorry if I omitted or misunderstand something. Please anyone feel free to correct me. (Sorry for the essay).
Btw, how do you guys feel about the Suzy/Yoochun thing in a new drama? Not confirmed by agencies yet, though... I admit at first I was bumped bc I've only seen Suzy in Dream High and she sucked soooo bad, but I've heard she's improved a lot. I'm warming up to the idea, it'd be a nice change to see him with someone younger, and Suzy is very pretty imo, so the visual is aesthetically quite appealing to me. Rooftop Prince was a drama with many comical elements, which suits Yoochun, so I'm all for the team behind it.
Idk, I'll wait for confirmation, but so far I'm starting to like the idea.
I haven't seen Suzy in dramas but all I've read is that she's not very good; but yes, visually they would be a nice couple.

I saw the first two episodes in viki and I loved them! This kind of dramas the best because they're fresh and intriguing. "Spy" is really well produced. Jae was amazing and the other actors too. I'm really going to enjoy this drama.

[Engsub] 141224 JYJ in Fukuoka - Talk (Oppai chocolate)
I was waiting for the English subtitles since forever! That video is pure gold. I had a very good laugh.

[Engsub] 140826 百度King榜 Exclusive Interview with JYJ
I really like "Age 7". The verses tempo have this nostalgic but recomforting instrumental which I really appreciate, plus Junsu's voice. It's really a beautiful song.
I remember when some fans were doing different theories about the "J" like: "ah, this song is like a letter in which he encourages himself in a hypothetical scenario" and then BAM! it's about Angelina Jolie. LOL. As expected from Jae.
"Thirty" it's really fresh and relaxing. Like when you listen to it inmediately you think about your friends and all the memories with them. Precious song.

2. Jae's sister is so positive! I like her! Jae baby, fighting! (I hope we can have a clear explanation about what's going on).
3. Junsu is amazing, I wish I could have listened to the concert. I hope to be able to do it today.

OMG I really wanted gifs of that moment! Poor Junsu couldn't react on time, Naughty Santa is fast. I loved Chunnie's reaction.

That story LOL
Well, then I'm glad MusicSouloist knew because I love my current username. :D
You're username is genius though. It really does reflect you.MusicSouloist will be remembered for that good action.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your words.
it's not a flower , Nada = dew/ or dew drops


Oh, sorry. Thank you very much, due to my mistake I won't forget it now.

ooh nice, good choice. I love Greek & Roman mythology
Thank you! I also love both mythologies. About your username even if others use Teru I think people here (and in other forums, since I guess you were really active in them, too) will always recognize you as the original Teru.
You've chosen an awesome username, I knew it had something to do with the muse when I first saw it.
Thank you very much! You know that I love your country. Whenever I read your username I smile, because that's the name of a really good friend that used to live in my neighborhood. She was like a big sister to me.
LOL, Souloist and Clio said the same thing too, and it has a diffrent meaning in arabic thank god haha
that's really beautiful.
Would you mind writing the flower's name in English again? (Sorry, I forgot). And yes, Greek Mithology is very beautiful.clio name alwayz gives me vibe of calling highness name
..so without knowing i used to think before typing her name...
Rainy Blue is a nice song. Okay, how Souloist was born. Hmm...
Souloist is better. MusicSouloist knew it (I don't how but it knew it), so it decided to sacrifice itself. Props and respect to MusicSouloist.
-
speaking of usernames let's have this topic... where do all of your usernames come from?
According to Greek Mithology there were Nine Muses that inspired music creations, in general terms, and also arts and sciences. ClÃo was the muse of history and poetry, and since I really like those aspects I thought that it would be nice to use that name here.

The secret to wisdom lies in having a four-letter username, I seeNo, Teru and Lina are in another level, I'm an apprentice. But you all are very kind, so thank you very much. Lol to the four-letter username, you don't miss anything Soul oppa.

Hello everyone! This thread is refreshing as always!
Well I am fan of both groups (and some pre-split material). When it comes to them, the balance holds the same weight. (Sometimes it leans to one side or the other but it's almost imperceptible).
well I like lots of old 5-member songs and albums, and consider myself a fan of those albums... but I don't bother with the DB5K badge because I wasn't a fan when they were a 5-member group and I don't regard them as the same group now (because they aren't) so I don't see the point lol. it was what it was
"all fan" is someone who is a fan of both TVXQ and JYJ (and DB5K) but doesn't care about reunions or seeing them together or etc. I take OT5 to specifically mean a fan who wants them to be in one group again imo.
This exactly. Some fans use both terms equally, which often causes confusion. I think this is the best way to use said terms.
1. Thank goodness the term "All Fan" exists because I've always felt out of place lol.
2. omg I got into Changmin because his high notes and screams, too lol. I remember when I first heard Mirotic, Changmin's scream/high note blew me away. It made my throat hurt lol.
Like, how is that high note even possible
1. *High fives*.
2. I remember that one of the first videos that I listened to was a recopilation of Changmin's legendary scream in Mirotic. Epic.
@rainy
One day we'll become experienced, too
They're awsome, seriously.

they look cute together...
psh Jae fans...I need to beat the hell out of my fandom.
I agree. Aish! The first time I saw her I thought she was really beautiful/elegant and I wanted to know more about her, but when I was going to see her Twitter/Instagram it was too late.
Would Jaejoong stans kill me if I said I hope it's his girl?

No, you're cool. I think you're safe. (But as you never know, be careful from now on).

0.0
what is this?
Her name is Lee Jane and she's Moldir's Creative Director. She deleted her social networks (Twitter and Instagram) because of, I guess and some fans have confirmed it, Jae fans "advices" (I would say).
I'm fine, thank you. I hope you're fine too.







[Official Mamamoo Thread] MAMAMOO & MOOMOO Forever
in Groups
Posted · Edited by ClÃo
Hello, hello! Nice to meet you all! hope everyone is fine here! Well, I haven't lurked a lot in this thread but I'm definitely going to enjoy reading all the posts. Originally I was an exclusive fan of TVXQ! and JYJ and was an ocasional listener of other groups. I wanted to know more K-Pop groups, so I began like a "process" with some of them (just male groups) so becoming a fan of a girl group wasn't my intention at first, not that I have something against them but some concepts were or too cute or too sexy for me. That's why I really liked these four girls, they are powerful and impressive so they caught my attention.
I read some people speaking about them and I really thought they were just a normal girl group like the others, but the first time I saw them performing I was like: "I'm liking them too fast" but I guess no, those vocals, stage presence and that incredible aura told me "You know you're going to stan them, so give up". And here I am. I've listened to "Hello" and "Piano Man" mini albums and I loved them, I've also read some general info about them but I just began to be a MooMoo this month, so please be patient if I ask stupid questions.
I'm really happy to become a fan of this amazing girls and to feel, again, the "super new fan" feeling... It is really refreshing. My bias are Moon Byul and Hwa Sa. So, that's it! Sorry for the long post. Ah, and I'm from Dominican Republic
