It’s not a V-line, U-line, S-line or M-line. It’s a Purple Line – the latest single from the busy Dong Bang boys. Perhaps they ditched the letters and added the colors to appear creative. But anything goes since they are Korea’s darling boyband export.
DBSK has been thriving in Japan, releasing single after single and Purple Line is a preempt to the highly anticipated third Japanese album which includes this single.
Oricon Star News’s survey found that DBSK’s reach escalated to a whopping 68.8% of consumers. This could be only a testament of their hard work and the ajumma force’s efforts to spread the word.
DBSK’s third album titled “T” will hit record stores on January 23rd.
Check out the preview of DBSK’s “Purple Line”
Pop in:
DBSK’s Jae Joong, likes it hot!
DBSK’s Choi Kang Chang Min is more than a pretty face
Who let the crazy DBSK fans out of the loony bin?
lol. u know what’s funny.. when i saw the ‘purple line’ the first thing that popped into my mind was the ‘first response’ or whatever brand pregnancy tests! .. and how the commercials always says something about the lines!! hahaha ..
this leads me to think about those ‘you never knew …’ ads.. where they get a guy and it says how you could never tell they had herpes or sometihng like that
love the song! the beat is good and the dance is cool!
but yuhos rap was a little…first, i thought it would be changminh xD
They’re average like every other boyband.
There’s nothing new or special about them or the song or anything…Not that that’s bad, but let’s not pretend DBSK is something different, it’s old and annoying. Bring on the Cassiopeias, you’re all the same, i understand you want to defend your idols, but come on…there’s no way you can say they’re better than everyone else when they’re exactly the same. It’s stupid to make them look so Godly and unique when they’re not, every other boyband is the same. And seriously? They’re NOT the only acapella group on the planet, nor are they the best, so we can stop making it look like they are they were the first to sing acapella. I don’t even have a problem with DBSK, they’re not bad, but they’re not Gods either. I’m just sick of everyone being compared to this…ordinary boyband. Blah-blah-blah.
didn’t really feel this song when i first heard it. but after the second, the beat just got into me and before i knew it, i’ve started to love the song already.
the smooth choreography, although certainly one of their best for me, was only a plus point for the over-all impact of the song.
damn.. i love this song.. haha i can’t wait for the mv..
haha well like i said.. i can’t wait for their mv… junsuie is going to be so adorable… ahaha same goes for the other members as well haha… saranghae oppas
i l9ove purple line…
fuking talentless bunch of underweight boys…
image is everything nowdays, talent is 0
they won’t survive a day in the american industry and will be ripped apart by appearing so very gay
Blahblahbon – LOL , i find u complaining about DBSK’s overrated popularity all the time. That’s right, they’re ordinary boys but they have CHARISMA and godknowswhat to make girls go crazy over them.
^to add to junsufan- one more thing that sets them apart is that they CAN sing (live), unlike you’re ordinary boy bands
@Chink: The American industry? It’s funny that you mention it because it is barely filled with any talent these days.
This is a catchy song but it takes a while to grow on you. The rapping sounds weird but somewhat fits the song. Their practice vid and the choreography was AWESOME!
Congratz to them for making it to #1 on the Oricon charts. They’ve worked hard…even to the extent of endangering their health.
Well, Still dun know why they try all their best to enter Japanese market. It’s not their country. Why they dun go back to their own country and word hard there?
It’s ridiculous to hear that they reach the top rank at Japan. There are a lot of talented groups there. Will they be able to reach the top rank?? I doubt it….
Go, go, go…! By the way, when are they supposed to be called in for Military Duty/Service? When that happens…I hope the band doesn’t dissolve…
geez. they’re still very young yknow.
this song is…..welll…mediocre. hope to hear more songs with the standard of Ojungbanhap, Hug, Mideoyo n The Way u Are.
wow finally an upbeat and a nice song .. i was kinda getting tired of listening to the slow songs they were singing. purple is line is really catchy. the first time i heard it, it was like, huh was is it? but then it grew on me. its very nice a new style for the dong bang boys.
@ANTI DBSK
your username tells us why u posted your useless comment. dbsk arent the worst boyband alive they can sing and dance i dont get why you hate them so much. jealous? and speak for yourself not others. its not like u’re much better
@chink
no offense but their talent is higher than many artists in the amercian industry and they would do fine in the amercian industy. their talent is limitless and captivate many fans in the western world as well as asia. so think again? the amercian industry isnt exactly at its best is it?
its finally out!proud that they are doing really well.
but i miss them and their Korean music..hope they return to Korea soon and start releasing Korean singles..
They were no.1 on the chart for like a day, lol.
isnt jae joong kinda short???? i hope he doesnt read this!!!
changmin is kinda tall compared to him.
Micky=hes a better rapper than i thought i didnt even know he could rap!!
U-Know=well he has most of the dancing skills
Xiah/Xia=best voice ttly!!! rising sun on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDITeXObEjE
Hero=cute!!!!! liked him in black hair better sooooo much cuter!!!
Max=my personal favorite!!! cutie!!! more than Hero anyway!!
hes a good dancer!!! in rising sun he is like screaming his head off!!!
Nice beat, I was waiting for them to make another song something like “Rising Sun” or “O”, so it’s cool they came up with this.
But something’s lacking, I’m not sure. The song seem too short. And.. and.. and.. they should really ask someone to “check” they’re English words/grammar before releasing the song. I mean… “ITS LOOKS LIKE.. PURPLE LINE.” That sounds really wrong. I don’t want this guys to tour Europe or the US and be laughed at with that kind of grammar.
Anyway, it’s a cool song, something that most fans have been waiting for to hear. Hopefully they can have more like this.
ommo… it’s so cooL..
makes me wanna dance…
i really waNT TO See the full version MV…
cant hardly wait this see that..
This mv is so cool! I love Yunho’s rapping in the begining!;)
Yuriko: this song seems too short ’cause it’s not the entire song. the entire dongbang fandom is waiting w. bated breath for avex to release the entire pv, to no avail. at least not yet.
personally, i love different singing style, and i’m totally digging the choreography.
FYI guys. Micky’s “I really wanna touch myself” has nothing to do with anything nasty. It’s something like.. the things around him is fake? so he wants to touch himself to see if it’s real. Something along those lines.
Antifans needs a life and stop LOOKING INTO things they are NOT interested in. If you don’t the person, move on dude, just freaking move on. No one tells you to freaking watch them, and no one made you comment them. So why do it? Why can’t you just LOOK THE OTHER WAY? dang. No need for bashing. Go get a life dude.
Ohhh they are soooo gorgeous! I agree that yunhos rappings a bit…wierd (?) but it is growing on me
Yeah i was really disappointed when i found out yoochuns “i really wanna touch myself” wasnt what it sounded like lol
i wonder if he knows what it sounds like in english? haha
But anyway yeah, they look absolutely stunning…even more so than ever! gotta love em
saranghae DBSK!!!
xxxxx
totally dig this song, i’ve been waiting for the next heavy choreographed song–which i totally love.
yes there are some similarities from rising sun and O in their dances but what is has more is body rolling and dancing off-beat.
*total LOVE*.
aaah yunho ^^;;; is he trying something new?
the dance itself is awesome. i reaaally hope the director has some sense of mind to make a dance ver. of the video clip–cuz that would just complete their CD+DVD single [but too late...]
micky’s “i really wanna touch myself” DOES sound english. if you know what he’s gonna say X3.
if you look at DBSK’s discography on wiki you’ll find that they have a Korean ver. of Purple Line *OMGOMGOMGOGMOGOGMOGMOGMGGG!!!!11!!one!1*
damn i’d love to hear that.
the songwriter of this song is jap, but the composer is korean (from what i can tell from his name). the music does sound abit korean tho dont you think?
to all anti’s…..another hit for DONG BANG SHIN KI!!!!!accept the fact that no one can ever defeat my dong bang babies…ha-ha-ha-
i definitely agree with u jjiyul!!! come on anti’s release ur INSECURITIES …maybe ur a bunch of ugly people ! bwahahahahaha….
lol i dont get the whole PURPLE line thing either. but it works out! :]
and yes. kill the whole anti-fandom thing.
HAWT. T out today!!!!!
WAHAHAHA!
but i getting kor ver!
HWAITING BOYS! SARANGHAE~
when is this coming out i’m EXHAUSTED .. of going to youtube & looking for it to find out its not there yet.. DAMNIT!!!! …lol…
hahah i think its so funny how micky says he wants to touch himself.. i’m always like ,” You go do that darling!” hahhaah.
I LOVE THIS SONG!
i can’t wait to get their album!
grrr, hate my country.
HOT SONG!! ^^ ARGH! i have to wait till it’s imported here in my country >=[
“i just wanna touch mtself”
dong bang, u guys r awsome…. please marry me!!!
DBSK love 4-ever.
Lol, I love how they intersperse English words with their Japanese songs. I think their Japanese image is like cooler, slimer compared to their Korean image. Remember the different Japanese and Korean Mvs for O?
The first time I heard Micky’s line “I really wanna touch myself” – I love his introduction in English; “gotta introduce myself”
I rly like Purple Line. It grows on you =)
Regarding Yunho’s voice, all of their voices sound a lil modified (by themselves of course). Listen to Jaejoong’s voice at first, it has a lil of that wierd quality in Yunho’s voice. Does that make sense?
HWAITING DBSK!
purple line was very cool,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sarangeyo jae joong uppa
i love you jae joong uppa,ich liebe dich jae joong uppa
i read somewhere “purple line” was referring to the horizon? here’s the translation of it: (http://delymma.imeem.com/blogs/2008/01/17/WTsNtpCW/purple_line_complete_translation) oh! and the meaning behind purple line is in the comments.
i like it. its different. they do different things to break the monotonous-ness (i know that’s not a word) of ballads and stuff. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE their ballads, but a pop-y song or a hip hop-y song once in a while isn’t so bad.
as for their looks, i’ve always thought they all looked good all the time… but i REALLY prefer yoochun’s hair long. it framed his face well.
has anybody heard the korean version of it??
It’sokay…but the Jap. ver. sounds better
Girls, check their latest Mv’s on korean version.
This is DBSK entry isnt it? It is the time to be fangirly!
I say!
Sizzilingly hot..
Overload hotness…
Solid sexiness….
They didnt have to overdone some sexyness like some artist did by take out their shirt etc but DBSK sexiness is subtle.
And those who said they are girly mans who sing the same song better check their temperature and T album respectively.
Has a lot of new genres. Full of it..
Our boys never make us bored.
At least they didnt have to make a mv that sooo americanized or westernized to burn us with their hotness. They have at least their own identity and didnt have to try soo hard to look sexy.

* But I have to agree with YURIKO, we in Soompi’s even have discussed widely the lines in this songs. We tough are a fans of Dbsk but not stupid or blind. Most of international fans are educated and not some obsessed fangiry Cassies.
*In terms of music, it always open to critism but in fair, equal judgment and objective way. Yes, SM should hired a prof reader and hired a profound whatever if they want to be acknowledge internationally and also as a profesional singer and musican.I agreed on you with it.
*The issues of Yunho rapping also, it is subjective and a relative matter that is open to discussion and different people has different view on it. I said. I loved it.!
Btw: Popseoul. Purple Line mean the other side or horizon that hard to catch but try to achive. Like high ambition sort of.
WARNINGS: This post above is contain with fangirly stuff. If you are alergic to it, please do avoid read it. Thanks.^_^
Wow! it was almost killed me! I’m telling the truth yes it so freaking cool and damn hot. At first after reading the comments in Soompi, I didnt put so much expectation. I just watched calmly. After it is just started what the heck i can’t get calm anymore, i really need to cool off. Except the scynchronize of the song’s with their lips that I still try to adapt other than that it is marvelous!
I mean i is so amazingly done, from the dances, the lightning, the choreography, the arrangment of the studio’s, additional dancers, and it is SURELY very different with thier previous MV’s and that what is amazed me so much. As we can see, their previous Mv’s- from their debut most of the dances always in the dim light etc. But this is different. They mixed the two concept of dark and light amazingly. Especially the light version that focusing to the boys when they dance and it is not so light yet it is depressing in subtle way. Very sexy and subtle.
I can’t find the exact word. It is beyonds words and expectation. It is not an ordinary visual of them that we will see. Yunho is so incredibaly stunning mostly the rapping part. When he started to stopped with a very different gesture’s of his hand and his body.
Arghh i just might die then. It is so wonderfully done. I bet they sure will received a recognition with this MV. It is so professional. As for me, this is my favorite dance MV’s of them for now. I didnt easily fall for a dance MV. As much as I loved the boys, their previous MV’s and find Yunho so freaking hot in dancing, i still yearning for more and carving for new style of dances. I want to see something that totally blow me off. And this MV has did it. Blow me off. Right from the beginning. Beside their rehearsal, this is their best. The solo dance that was subtle sexy with the additional dancers that not overshadowed them yet emphasizing on them more.
Everything! I mean it is such an amusing, stunning and incredibly done, powerful, profesional, high quality, different- not their usual movements, with a very neat details MV for me.
What I mean for my post above is their latest Purple Line Korean Version Mv.
Girls, check their latest Mv’s on korean version.

This song is amazing. I’ve been addicted since it was released. But try listening to their T album. It’s one of their best yet, every song on it is perfect and unique (especially their track TRICK)–check it out XD
TVQX ARE THE ALL_ROUNDERS OF MUSIC!
purple line let me set up my world
this song is keep weighing in my mind…
At 1st i cn’t believe that’s U-Know voice… ehhe.. i mean the rappin’ part.. is so attractive… he can relly make a twist of the fate of this song.. hehe
the MV is cool too.. the purple line is everywhr..
Micky’s always stick with car.. hehe as usual..
U-Know’s 1 cute pose make me speechless..
He really did it in front of the camera.. haha… It makes me want to repeat the clip over and over again…
Hero’s hair is still golden brown in color.. I wish I can see the black-hair-Hero again… the black color suits him the best.. hehe
/*fangirl mode*
oh my freaking god, I love DBSK!! I adore yunho! Can that man get any sexier? He’s perfect! even his dyed hair and capped teeth are perfect!
I love you, yunho! It took me a while to appreciate you (because, I did like that other member of dbsk), but I utterly, absolutely love you ~
Saranghae <3
/end *fangirl mode*
But what the hell is Mickey saying? First he touches his crotch in the summer 06′ japanese mv of summer dream (or whatever its called) and now this?
I don’t care if they’re trying to “excuse” the meaning of this enlish on-liner, with the japanese lyrics – its funky & we all know that the music producers enjoyed this lewd deviation – that establishes Mickey as the full-blown perv.
Why Mickey? Keep it in your pants, behind closed doors.
* english one-liner
(& normally I care less about my typos here since you can’t edit)
blah.
IluvPurpleLine
the song is awesome!!!!
I loved the song, though I have to admit the Japanese version sounds smoother than the Korean one.
They all looked nice in the mv, and their voices kind of scared me the first time I listened to it, especially Yunho’s.
The choreography and the dancing was exceptional, as expected of DBSK (Tohoshinki, is it in Japan?).
Also, why the random English phrases?
I mean, most popular Korean songs have at least one English word in it.
Is it a secret rule?
Is it to make their song better?
Ahhh, but I laughed when I heard, “I really wanna touch myself.” in the lyrics.
i love my dong bang boys, but seriously, when i first heard this song’s mp3 version, i was like, what kind of crap is this?
but when i listened to the song again and again, and started to hum along, AND after i watched the MV ( finally ! ) i actually kinda really like this song now.. though i can’t help but admit that they sound strange singing this song, especially in live.. nasal much!
and has anybody realised that they seem to suffer a lot when they try to pull off forever love live? they can’t seem to reach the high notes, and it’s really killing me to see them like that! i mean, whatever happen to your ‘tonight’, ‘footsteps’, ‘beautifuk thing’ and ‘hey girl’ voices that i love so much?
*sigh* i miss your korean voices guys..
wth is purple line? they suck. yunho can’t rap, he should just get poisoned again dbsk SUCK
F*ck all the DBSK haters. If you hate them why are you sooo obsessed in trying to find more things about them you hate?
You’re worse than the obsessed fans…
Get a life. DBSK has good talent.
Sincerely,
An intelligent DBSK fan.
