Dong-bang-shin-ki calls it quits?

DBSK_090625

Could this be?

The rumor mill has been going into overdrive when Dong-bang-shin-ki canceled the “Summer SM Town” jacket photoshoot on June 25th. Also, the boys’ health has weakened after promoting their 4th album in Japan. Not only that, Junsu’s injury has fed the rumors that DBSK will no longer stay together.

However, SM Entertainment has squashed rumors by saying that it is groundless.

And it must be, since Dong-bang-shin-ki left for Thailand on June 26th for “THE 3rd ASIA TOUR CONCERT-MIROTIC” in Bangkok on June 27th and 28th. DBSK will move on to Tokyo, Japan on July 4th and 5th to perform at the Tokyo Dome.

    This only goes to show how much the boys love their fans. They always want their fans to be satisfied and happy by always being their to perform for them. I do not believe the boys would disband or anything. Maybe a quick break would happen but not disbanding.

    its gonna be a bummer when they disband…buts its gonna happen someday…like all good things, always come to an end …..like M.J for an example…R.I.P

    this will never happen…they have always worked their butts off to show how much they love their fans, n they been on tours n other shows nonstop. no matter what happen they will always be the top kpop boy group cuz they will always have wat others might not have which are BOTH talent and good manner towards everyone.

    [NEWS] DBSK, “Disbanding? Just Groundless Rumours”

    QUOTE
    There has been rumours that group Dong Bang Shin Ki is disbanding.

    Curiosity rose as the group’s schedule to film for ‘2009 Summer SMTown’ jacket on 25th June was called off. This had made fans even more curious why so especially with rumours about the group disbanding coming up recently.

    With that SM Entertainment cleared in a phone interview on 26th, “This is just rumours. Like the past, such rumours came up and there were all groundless. This time this is the same thing.” emphasising that rumours about the group disbanding back in year 2004 and 2006 were all groundless.

    The representative said, “Dong Bang Shin Ki had left Korea on 26th June for their performance in Thailand.”

    Meanwhile, Dong Bang Shin Ki recently started on their Japanese tour concert in May. And coming 4th and 5th July they will be having a large-scale concert performance in Tokyo Dome.

    some people need to learn how to read the whole article instead of just the title.. >.>

  7. 7 stupid June 27, 2009 at 10:17 am

    btw dbsk has a new japanese single coming out in Aug!
    man, they never stop do they?

  8. 8 arielk June 27, 2009 at 10:30 am

    They’re gonna disband eventually , but
    pretty sure they wont disband anytime soon!

  9. 9 DBSKAddict June 27, 2009 at 10:34 am

    Yay a new album!!

  10. 10 FTW June 27, 2009 at 10:37 am

    im sure they’ll never disband, but… what does junsu’s injury have to do disbanding? o.O and it’s probably because they’re tired, and had to prepare/ practice for their Thailand concert the nxt day after the photoshoot so they decided to cancel it. =]

  11. 11 hyunnie June 27, 2009 at 10:38 am

    good luck to dong bang shin ki!

  12. 12 Alia June 27, 2009 at 10:40 am

    Jeeez, don’t scare people with titles like that… hahaha.

    Glad it’s just a rumor though. :]

  13. 13 jen June 27, 2009 at 10:44 am

    omg if they do disband, i would totally cry
    they’re too talented
    i hope they stay together like shinhwa did (kinda lol)

  14. 14 Noona Rean June 27, 2009 at 10:52 am

    Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1HELL NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO no and NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. 15 Jade C. June 27, 2009 at 11:01 am

    I wish people would stop starting rumors of their disbanding. It’s not their place to make such announcements. When Dong Bang Shin Ki is ready to disband or go on haitus, SM Entertainment will make an official announcement. People should have more faith in their dedication and not question these rumors.

  16. 16 Dana June 27, 2009 at 11:56 am

    If they ever do disband I’ll be really f*cking sad.

  17. 17 balabababa1003325 June 27, 2009 at 12:26 pm

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    THAT’S NOT FUNNY
    WHY WOULD PEOPLE SAY STUFF LIKE THAT?!
    THAT’S SICK!!!!!!!

    GROSS RUMOR

    • 18 zgonp June 27, 2009 at 1:16 pm

      yeah, news like this is not really funny. ^_^
      They must confirmed it before posting it in all of kpop websites’

  18. 19 HEE TAE June 27, 2009 at 12:35 pm

    JAE JOONG!!! <3

  19. 21 kiki June 27, 2009 at 1:57 pm

    That is such a nice photo of DBSK up there :-) I’d be pretty traumatised if they break up, they work as a group and they produce listenable Kpop :-)

  20. 22 kiki June 27, 2009 at 1:57 pm

    Or rather, Jpop lol :)

  21. 23 Dukie June 27, 2009 at 2:05 pm

    well they don’t actually produce…they perform…there’s a difference :)

  22. 24 jasmine June 27, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    Actually I’m a little bored with dbsk T.T
    (it’s weird if you know i’m crazy about changmin since junior high)
    I think they need a break for a long time (maybe military service?)
    so that everyone can relly miss dbsk a lot.
    not only Cassiopeia but SM’s money bank.
    hey,
    they could earnt millions for SM since they’ve debuted.
    it’s stupid if SM disband them.

  23. 25 Dovey June 27, 2009 at 2:48 pm

    I will be sad if they disband now. I want them to continue on for some more years (while they are still young) and make beautiful music together for the rest of the world to hear. D:

  24. 26 ew June 27, 2009 at 3:11 pm

    I hope they disband and make it soon!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. 28 sophie June 27, 2009 at 4:18 pm

    dbsk get well please
    DBSK<3

  26. 29 DBSJSHINee June 27, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    Oh man, i hope they don’t disband. I don’t want to go through the fear of them disbanding like in 2006 and 2007 again.

  27. 30 trangl June 27, 2009 at 5:52 pm

    omg!
    dbsk CAN NOT disband,
    after almost 6 years, they can’t possibly disband!
    but earlier in the year they had an interview and they said themselves that its not time to break up and that they want to be dbsk forever! they even promised that too!
    they won’t break that promise to their fans!
    who ever made this rumour up is crazy!
    i hope they get healthier soon and to continue on with what they’re doing!
    dbsk fighting!

  28. 31 miira-chaan June 27, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    ahk.~ this proves that those stupiid rumor starters are those anti’s going crazy over the cassiopeians…

    the bond these boys have are strong..there’s no way they’ll disband…!~ >:P

  29. 32 lkaakakjs June 27, 2009 at 7:08 pm

    This is something that I have been thinking about for the entire night, I couldn’t sleep because of this. If they decide to disband we fans must respect that they wants it, but I would rather like it if they took a break from DBSK and just tried living their lives as they feel like they want, and maybe if they feel that it’s something they like more than being dbsk, then they can decide if they want to split up or not. A break would be good for them since they have worked so hard for us fans and for themselves for a while now. I mean people need their lives to, and they need to take a break sometimes to just find themselves and get back on their feet. Maybe that’s what dbsk needs? I would be so sad if they disband since I love these people and their music almost more than I love anything in the entire galaxy (not kidding). I would rather see them taking a break to think things through before doing anything they might maybe regret in the future. Bands that disband and then come back together is less successful and have less fans than earlier because of the sadness they caused when they disbanded, and I know dbsk loves their fans and do all this just for them, and themselves but they work so hard for us… And you can see in their eyes that they truly love what they are doing. But they are also human beings, I will always love them no matter what they do.

  30. 33 lkaakakjs June 27, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    Though I think their love for what they are doing and the people around them that also loves their hard work is something that keeps them together. I don’t think and I don’t hope they will disband. They did make a promise. DBSK FOREVER!<3

  31. 34 tahoser June 27, 2009 at 9:53 pm

    My gosh,this can`t be true..
    They are so great <3 please let it be just a stupid rumor

  32. 35 yukaigrl June 27, 2009 at 11:49 pm

    Of course, it is truly their choice if they want to disband, but I know that DBSK truly loves their fans and would’nt want to disappoint them….
    They work so hard for us and to keep us happy…they do need rest. Instead disbanding, they should take a vacation and rest. Please stay well and take care of yourselves Oppas!!!
    Dong Bang Shin Ki FIGHTING!!! ^^

    NONONONONONONONO!!!!!!
    I don’t want DBSK to disband!!!!!
    plus, its kinda annoying that they pay more attntion to Japan these days. Aren’t they native Korean??
    DBSK!!!!!
    I LUV UUUUUU!!!!

    • 38 LOL. June 29, 2009 at 6:46 am

      So what if they’re native Korean?

      That doesn’t really mean anything to SM.

      Money is money, no matter where you make it.

      Fans are fans, no matter where they live.

      It’s kinda annoying when possessive fans comepletely ignore Tohoshinki’s accomplishments in Japan just because they want them to sing in Korean.

      Another thing that is annoying is that most of these fans aren’t even Korean, and most likely can’t even understand the language.

      lol, /rant.

      Anyways, since they are “over” that scary five year mark, I guess SM is being smart and thinking about their recent money problems… In fact, if any of their groups disband right now, they could go back into the red. D: Ohnoes!

  35. 39 Puppy June 28, 2009 at 5:07 am

    hmmm… Sm is pushing them Waaaaaaay to hard. let them have a break after Japan… seriously!

  36. 40 Lala la lexus June 28, 2009 at 8:20 am

    This a horrible thing to say in a rumor!

    this rumor will probably give half the female population heart attacks :(

  37. 41 Sakumi June 28, 2009 at 10:31 am

    I don´t want they to disband, they seem to enjoy their job but I wish that they’d get some rest. Their fans (inclunding me) would miss them so much, but they really need it.

  38. 42 kimeunna June 28, 2009 at 11:51 am

    I seriously dunno what to do if they disband.

    but i tink they really need a vacation ..

  39. 43 shang June 28, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    dang! the title got me! I thought it was for real!! @_@

    The Death of Michael Jackson just shock me now another

    about DBSK Disbanding???

    I’m glad that it is only a rumour….

  41. 45 lalanine June 28, 2009 at 1:44 pm

  42. 46 Jaz June 28, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    I luv them so so much!!plz don’t disband them..They were meant to sing together!!
    DBSK forever!

  43. 47 turtle June 28, 2009 at 5:15 pm

    I really hope they don’t disband! I’ll be SO depressed, there may be a very high chance of suicide. I know they will disband someday, but at least not for the next 5 years please :) I know that seems harsh, but seriously, I need that to be able to live. So please DBSK, hear this, yea?

  44. 48 amber June 28, 2009 at 6:18 pm

    @lol, thanks for their updated schedule!

    Makes me wish I lived in Japan XD

  47. 51 razilia June 29, 2009 at 12:28 am

    This will not happen yet because I have to see them first…LIVE!

    What the heck…what if they cancel one photoshoot? Is that something that could be linked with disbanding?Like hello…they work everyday…travel everyday. They come and go from different countries within a week. Kinda tiring. It’s okay to cancel at least one appointment for that reason. Even I feel tired for them…but still they go on. That’s why we all love them.

  48. 52 wingedvoice June 29, 2009 at 9:04 am

    eww whats with their hair??

    especially xiah and micky.

  49. 53 nadia June 29, 2009 at 10:44 am

    OMG…don’t!!!!!!

  50. 54 yeshe June 29, 2009 at 10:57 am

    Oh hell no. They can not disband I love them to death. I will so cry a lot if they disband. I don’t even what to think about. Even if the disband, they have a legacy no one can forget like for example “The Beetles”, “HOT”, “Shinhwa” and “The Backstreet Boys”. I trully love them. Also Super Juinor. I love like all the artists of SM Town. I’ll miss them. DBSK FIGHTING!! SARANGHAY
