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.

      i wish it was true. they are OVERRATED now

      • 3 syasz July 31, 2009 at 12:38 am

        how are they overrated? which part of media attention you think they don’t deserve? can you please explain? i mean, they worked really hard to be where they are now, you really don’t wanna disregard that.. for a boyband, i think their talents receive no more attention than it shoud have received, and mind you, their talents are no joke..

        hey!!!!! pokemon heart gold shut the hell up!!!! DBSK can never break up they are amazing!!@!!!111

        you’re overrated

  2. 6 Dong Bang June 29, 2009 at 1:52 pm

    I hope they don’t split :(
    Though, I haven’t been liking many of their japanese singles.
    Wish they would stick to korean.

    • 7 Kyongmi July 4, 2009 at 2:06 pm

      i thought so too, idk, it’s not like i hate japanese or anything but korean pop is waaaaaaaaaay better

    • 8 syasz July 31, 2009 at 12:42 am

      agreed..
      and i kinda dislike their japanese
      pop songs choreography..
      korean choreographies are better than japanese ones,
      based purely on my observation of course..
      japanese dance moves just simply seem..off.
      there’s so much waving and turning,
      and the moves simply don’t feel energetic enough..
      nuff said.

  3. 9 2bi02bi0 June 29, 2009 at 8:33 pm

    what? that’s like impossible. they’re are so successful.. why would they disband? O.O

  4. 10 yunjae-thelove; June 30, 2009 at 4:49 am

    obviously its not true.
    they canceled the photoshoot prob becos they were too tired/sick or it does’nt fits in with their schedule.
    i doubt they’ll quit when they’re focusing on rising in Japan.

  5. 11 Chokohlat June 30, 2009 at 8:57 am

    it’s confirmed that it’s a rumour~~~~

  6. 12 Kyongmi June 30, 2009 at 11:54 am

    NO DON”T! get urself together dbsk! I LUV U! Saranghamnida! don’t quit and junsu, hope ur fine, along with the others boo hoo hoo

  7. 13 Emily July 1, 2009 at 7:45 pm

    I hope it’s not true!T.T.
    I don’t think that SM would let them so easily!
    Anyway, I don’t think that guys would want to do that!
    It’s just a groundless rumour.

  8. 14 JAEJOONGIE < 3 July 2, 2009 at 6:23 am

    They need rest….
    they’ve been working their butts off for a long time now.
    SARANGHAE!!!!! <3

  9. 15 Ollies July 3, 2009 at 5:13 am

    When i read this my heart froze over for a moment.
    I’m so glad it is a rumor! But i do think the boys need to rest up and get better! They have been working for so hard (and it has paid off) but they need to rest up and take care of their bodies!!

  10. 16 jjx3hero July 3, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    i think that they should stick with korean music, it’s actually way better then Japan. no offence to japan, i do like them but i dont really like some of their music, it’s just not catchy and sutff.. i like korean music more! :D

  14. 20 Changminnie July 11, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    even i dunno what happened, but DBSK can’t be disbanded!!!!!!!! Let’s make some WAR with SM Entertaiment if they’re disbanding DBSK.

    NOOOOOO! DBSK you CANNOT disband!!!! Not now.
    I can’t really say what i feel now, but please don’t disband!!! Cassiopeia needs you! OMG! Can you change the picture into a sad one? Seeing them smile, while reading this article makes me feel sadder.

  23. 29 Online33 August 2, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    i want to see DBSK disband….just so i can see yuhno go solo. and changmin join superjunior. LOL

  24. 30 T.R.A August 3, 2009 at 9:10 am

    ATTENTION FANS!!!
    THE RUMOR OF DBSK DISBANDING IS TRUE!!!
    JUNSU, YOOCHUN & JAEJOONG ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEIR DISBANDMENT TODAY! THEY ARE GOING TO HOLD AN OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE! THE 3 MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST SM ENTERTAINMENT! IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 6 MONTHS TO SORT THIS ISSUE OUT! THE 3 MEMBERS ALREADY SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION TO THE COURT IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE!
    SCREW YOU SM! F**K YOU! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?
    & IN REPLY TO POKEMON HEART GOLD’s COMMENT, THEY ARE SOOO NOT OVERRATED! DBSK IS THE MOST POPULAR BAND IN THE WORLD! THEY WERE EVEN IN THE BOOK OF GUINESS WORLD’s RECORD (2009)
    LET’s HOPE THAT THEY DONT DISBAND! YOU ANTI FANS CAN’T SAY SUCH THINGS! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL LIKE IF YOUR FAVE BAND BROKE UP!
    IF SM BREAKS UP THIS WONDERFUL BAND, THEN THEY WOULD LOSE ALL PROFITS! SM ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS WILL GO DOWN AND CASSOPIEA WILL BOYCOTT ALL SM PRODUCTS. (after all, Cassopiea is mighty powerful & scary at time so dont piss them off!)
    SM SHOULD RECONSIDER WHAT THEY ARE DOING! LEE SOO MAN PULL UP SOCKS! AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO DBSK AND US FANS (OR ELSE WE WILL FLY TO KOREA AND PROTEST AGAINST SM) THE CHINESE FANs HAVE ALREADY JOINED FORCES WITH THE OTHER FAN BASES. WE SHOULD TOO!
    FANS UNITE AND FIGHT TO SAVE THE RISING GODS OF THE EAST!!!

    • 31 Mary August 3, 2009 at 10:51 am

      The TVXQ story is on the main newspaper in Singapore…Let us pray and hope they will resolve the issue.
      I cant imagine that they were not allowed to travel to china for their families business, cosmetic launch just because of contractual constraints on their image righs, I have yet to attend their concert…which I am looking forward to..!
      I hope SM do not repeat the history of HOT and Shinhwa!
      If TVXQ has a slave contract, I wonder about SUJU, Shinee and SNSD too. Maybe, they all should break away from SM and form their own agency or join another agency which given them a better deal!

    • 32 Won Jeon August 13, 2009 at 2:41 am

      OMG T.R.A u are soo right i respect ure sayings…. but they arent disbanding the 3 members and SM made a deal that was fair for all of them…

  25. 33 Michelle August 3, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    I am a much older fan which happen to come to TVXQ thru a vido clip by Baidu and also U tube

    I belive they will try their best to stay together not just for themselves but countless fans

    but no matter what is their decision, please be suppotive, positve for their future endeavors

    Bless them and wish for their good health
    P.S: my personal favorite is u know and will still keep track of him even though TVXQ disband; that’s my daily ritual

  26. 34 tvxq 4eva August 3, 2009 at 4:30 pm

    andwae!!!!!! i really hope it will never happen coz tvxq is the most successful group that i can admit now…. no tvxq it will consider as the end of my life!!!!!! dong bang oppa saranghae!!!!

  27. 35 junsu saranghae August 3, 2009 at 4:46 pm

    keummannae!!!! tvxq CANNOT disband!!!!! i really like tvxq in whateva they did. i really wanted to see them working on their activities TOGETHER as one group. i don’t care what reason there is, it is still unacceptable if they are going to disband….. TVXQ…..HERO-UKNOW-MICKY-XIAH-MAX FOREVER TOGETHER!!!!!

  28. 36 JAENETTE(= August 3, 2009 at 10:46 pm

    I’d read the newspaper today. its in the life session of straits time in singapore.
    well, seriously for so many years, i gotta say that DBSK music give me the motivation to study. As in i study will having their music on.
    i cant totally imagine that they are disbanding.
    Lets hope that they wont disband.
    there are some things in this world that are unfair. being not able to attend families business opening, really sounds unfair. things just had the other ways to work it out.
    disbanding is not a good idea tho. fans will be disappointed! :C hearing the news is already disappointing enough! needless to say if it really happen.
    SRSLY! i think that the problem doesnt lies with the 3. since LSM is back in korea. he gotta change the conditions in the contracts. hear what the boys gotta say. getting involve in courts and fighting lawsuits is srsly waste of time and money. if using such conditions is to tie oneself down. den LSM is so wrong. sooner or later history will just gonna repeat. SNSD, SHINee.. they will be gg tru all this too?
    how many more fans need to be disppointed by all this?

    anyways, i just hope that all these are just rumours! DBSK wont just break off like this. im still waiting for more singles and albums! their creations! :D

    DBSK! FIGHTING! ^^

  29. 37 JAENETTE(= August 3, 2009 at 11:22 pm

    I STILL WAITING FOR THEIR VISIT TO SINGAPORE EH! NO MATTER IS CONCERT OR JUST A MINI LIVE!!!!

  30. 38 Hana August 4, 2009 at 10:58 pm

    Dbsk…dont disband before I can meet you guys face to face and say how amazing your songs are T_T Both Japanese AND Korean!! I dont want dbsk to end up like HOT… Its ok if they going solo or something, but it wouldnt be the same!!!
    Please..I rly want to beg SM and dbsk..Dont disband..

  31. 39 Another Kpop fan August 5, 2009 at 10:25 am

    I just saw it on KBS news. It’s true. Xiah, Micky and Hero have filed a lawsuit against SM for what they believe to be unfair contract terms. SM’s attorney stated in a televised interview with KBS that “The contracts were fair and reasonable. TVXQ receives a considerable portion of overseas and local revenue from record sales and appearances. SM has invested and continue to invest a lot of time, money, education and resources into TVXQ in guaranteeing their success. There will be no negotiations”.

    Isn’t this kind of similar to the H.O.T. situation from the 1990s? We all know what that outcome was.

  32. 40 Another Kpop fan August 5, 2009 at 10:39 am

    Kind of off topic but this TVXQ issue had me wondering if they are that unsatisfied with their contracts, how awful the terms must be for other overpopulated idol acts like nine member SNSD, seven member 2PM or worse 13 member Super Junior.

  33. 41 eunmin=D August 15, 2009 at 1:58 am

    is junsu’s injury ok now???? which part???

  34. 42 zue August 16, 2009 at 12:23 pm

    if they do want to separate..they won’t ignore the fans rite..they can’t go these far without us..
    just pray the best for all of them

  35. 43 rosego August 17, 2009 at 8:29 pm

    are you sure it’s true? this can’t be happening~ ]

    i love you DBSK!

  36. 44 pikah pikah August 19, 2009 at 1:28 pm

    i enjoy them,
    but i think it’s time for SMTown to give them some rest.
    i dont think they’re overrated,
    but i don’t really knoe.
    by the time i’m reading these,
    they rumoured to already filed case against SM.
    but just 3 of ‘em – xiah,micky,jaejoong.
    they told,they’ve been forced to work like a dog for this past 5years and they’re bounded to 13years contract with SM.
    i hope they find solution for the probs.
    it’ll b sad somehow if they break for real~even i’m not a fan~

  37. 45 Davis August 20, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    SM neede to give these guys a rest!! They’re overworking them too damn hard!! And I know DBSK is going to say something like, “We enjoy the work”, but seriuosly they look so drained out!! Oh and btw have you noticed whene they do thier K-POP songs they’re more provocative (not saying it’s baddd) then their J-Pop songs? lol

  38. 46 DBSKCASSIESLOVEFOREVERSTAYS August 20, 2009 at 11:33 pm

    aniyo!! i dont wan’t…
    for DAVIS, Yes i know they work so hard.. but if this happens look at this way,
    LSM just used them or played with them so that the money that
    has been bought by Dbsk’s album or so whatever stuff transmits through LSM..or the money is going to LSM.. And yes, i know that should be
    happened because he owns that entertainment and what is wrong about that is why should he just use them like pieces of toys like punching Jaejoong,beat changmin until he bleeds,force changmin to this and that but changmin doesn’t want he even says that he will disband dbsk if he doesnt do that,he even scolds changmin,LSM also let Yunho suffer. LSM almost hit Yoochun because a guy saved him from SME or works at the SME as also he also made DBSK experience just WATER THERAPY. But how about the hard work they did?
    WHy wont lee soo man was just being JAILED.
    and they still enjoy performing to the fans.. they are not
    being DRAINED OUT they could just be simply tired or whatever but im pretty sure they wanted to still perform.
    I really hate LEE SOO MAN’S ALL DIRTY WORK! HE ALMOST MADE EVERY SM ARTIST SUFFER!!!!! I HOPE LSM ALSO SUFFERS! OR GETS KARMA >:P

  39. 47 babogateun :p August 20, 2009 at 11:46 pm

    If thats the case LSM wants lets see if his company goes down..

    And to tell this to lee soo man if he ever does that he wont see

    light when he wokes up.. he will see fire..

    Stupid Soo Man! he doesn’t know how to run a company..

    and if he does that to Shinee,SNSD,SUJU,Dbsk or any other bands..

    Just because he got a new set of groups again..

    I WILL NOT SUPPORT HIS FUTURE NEW SM GROUP.. NVER!!!

    FANS SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO SM ANYMORE IF HE REALLY DOES THAT

    SIMILARLY TO THE OTHERS AS WELL.

    it seems lee soo man doesn’t know whats the purpose of them

    quite people auditioning is because to earn thats the point.

  40. 48 dbskforever August 20, 2009 at 11:55 pm

    maybe LSM is jealous because seriously they more work in japan than
    korea nowadays… hmm… if thats the case dont let them disband and let them transfer on Japan that would be better together with the manager. NO LEE SOO MAN ALLOWED. AND SHOULD NOT ENTER JAPAN OR WHEREVER THEY DECIDE TO HELD THEIR CONCERT. AND THEY SHOULDNT TAKE OFF THEIR SM PROPERTIES OR ELSE CASSIOPEIA WILL…
    Lee soo man is allowed to pass through north korea so he could be shotted by a lot of guns their… hahhahahh…….

  41. 49 lalalalalalala August 23, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    DBSK Must not SPLIT!! i love dbsk!!!

  42. 50 JessicaJung October 11, 2009 at 12:09 pm
