Overall Meaning

The song "Rising Sun" by DBSK (also known as TVXQ) is a powerful ballad that revolves around the themes of hope, perseverance, and endurance. Each member of the group takes turns singing their parts in Korean and English, showcasing their impressive vocal range and emotive delivery.


The song's lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors, with the first verse sung by Micky describing tears that fall like raindrops and the emotional weight that we carry beneath our skin. The chorus, sung by all members, speaks to the desire to hold onto innocence and the hope for a brighter tomorrow, represented by the rising sun.


The second verse, sung by Xiah, describes a struggle to overcome difficult times and the lack of support from others around when it is most needed. Hero's verse speaks to the idea that everyone faces their own challenges in life, but it's important to keep searching for meaning and purpose.


The final chorus, led by Changmin, calls for everyone to rise up and keep moving forward, even when it feels like the weight of the world is against you. The song's crescendo builds up to an explosive finale, with all members chanting the title phrase "Rising Sun" over and over again.

Many of them saying Mirotic is the iconic song of TVXQ! but actually not..
Rising Sun is the one strikes the whole kpop industry and all awards winning! bringing SME to a next level! Mirotic is just kinda one of their legendary and last title track with 5 members.
when there's so many hoobaes covering Mirotic, why dont they try covering Rising Sun, this is so much more challenging tbh..the vocals the choreograph the flows..the iconic SME style of joining three parts of music is so amazing!! wish SME bring this style & quality back!

@missathirahmunirahzainol9297

Moonbyul (MAMAMOO) covers this song. That's why I'm here. I've heard this song during my secondary school. Just now, I saw the mindblowing lyrics and the explanation of this song. Such a deep with meaningful lyrics and the high note cleared all the problem I'm facing rn lol.
