On September 12, 2005, DBSK released their sophomore album 'Rising Sun'. The album's popularity quickly spread past Korea to Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and further overseas.
After releasing their '1st Live Concert Album : Rising Sun' early in the summer of 2006, the band moved to Japan, successfully releasing their first Japanese album, which consisted their older Japanese singles and several new songs.
In late August 2006, Dong Bang Shin Ki returned to Korea with the release of their third album 'O'-正.反.合 (O. Jung. Ban. Hap.) featuring the band with a more mature image. Within its first month, the album reached the 100,000 sales mark.To this day they sold 395,105 copies of this album. On March 14, 2007, they released their second Japanese album, "Five in the Black". Currently they've released 23 Japanese singles. Their 4th single "Ashita wa Kuru Kara" was featured as the 17th ending of the anime ONE PIECE.On January 23, 2008, they released their third japanese album "T". On July 22, 2008,TVXQ became the first non-Japanese artist to have three number ones on the weekly Oricon singles chart, when their single " Why Did I Fall In Love With You? " attained number one.They are one of the few Korean bands to secure over 390,000 attendees at concerts.
Dong Bang Shin Ki has also appeared in commercials, dramas, talk shows and radio shows. In 2005, the band released their own set of banjun dramas starring the band members themselves, which were widely accepted by their fanbase, Cassiopeia. Their own TV DRAMA, Vacation, was presented on a movie screen in Korea and they have already finished shooting the sequel, Dating on Earth.

Despite a recent incident in which an anti-fan delivered a threatening letter and a drink laced with cyanoacrylate to band leader, U-Know Yunho, and Youngwoong Jaejoong's knee injury requiring surgery in 2005, Dong Bang Shin Ki remains determined at what they do. Each member has their own distinct style, personality and voice, and they manage to work together to create a sound and an image appreciated by fans worldwide.

The song "Catch Me" by the South Korean pop group DBSK is a fast-paced and energetic track that features lyrics about the thrill of the chase. The song opens with the repeated command "Catch me," which is echoed back by the other members of the group. The verses are sung by Yunho and Changmin, who both describe the excitement of pursuing something or someone they desire.
Yunho's verse focuses on the thrill of the chase, describing a feeling of recklessness and uncertainty as he pursues something he wants. Changmin's verse is more introspective, highlighting the pain and frustration of being rejected by someone he cares about. The chorus of the song features the repeated line "Baby catch me," which is a plea for the listener to join in the chase and pursue their own desires.
The song is notable for its use of robotic vocals, which add an electronic edge to the track. The fast-paced beat and high-energy vocals make it a popular choice for dance performances and workout playlists. Additionally, the song's music video features complex choreography and striking visual effects that showcase the group's talent and creativity.

For those who came from The Fine Bros,
If you want to listen to more of TVXQ!'s songs, I'd recommend,
Keep Your Head Down, Before U Go, Humanoids, Something, Spellbound, etc.
If you are wondering why there's only 2 members. It's because 3 of the members left the company because of "slave" contracts and unfair treatment. (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu).
The 3 members are now known as JYJ (a group).
JYJ has some amazing songs too. I'd recommend,
Get Out, Found You, In Heaven, Back Seat, etc.
The group when it had 5 members has had a lot of very beautiful songs as well.
Such as:
Mirotic, Rising Sun, O-Jung. Ban. Hap., Purple Line, The Way U Are, Hug, etc.
For ballads, it's Love in the Ice, Bolero, Why Did I Fall in Love with You, Wasurenaide, Forever Love, and many more.
Very beautiful.
Enjoy listening to these songs. The group is known for their harmony while singing, live singing while dancing. Truly a legend, I tell you.
And please. Don't start fanwars (to everyone). They'd get us no where. Ignore haters and trolls (they exist everywhere).
@havensohn3821
A friend told me awhile ago that old kpop is better than now and I thought how could that be possible now that I watched this... Damn Kpop back then was freaking revolutionary.
@Mel-bv1nz
I miss the old days 😭
@yeetwitch1348
This song is just legendary i wish there were more songs like this one
@HaNeul0805
Yeah especially the clothes back then e.g. gd wearing skirt back in 2011/2012 a few years later it became a huge thing In usa
@samwisegamgee1243
Yeah there was a lot more experimenting back then and trying out new concepts. I feel like once the agencies figured out which concepts make more money, they decided to stick to those tropes instead of trying out new things like they used to.
For example, most of the groups nowadays have the formulaic group members main rapper, vocalist, main dancer, etc. But back then you could find group members with a larger variety of roles and talents, with a lot of the roles overlapping. This meant just about everyone in the group was capable of doing other roles, and could therefore experiment with more styles, compositions, and choreographies.
A lot of group images/personalities have also become more standard in the industry nowadays, like the "bad boy/girl group" or the "sweet boy/girl group", etc. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you can see them breaking their own styles and trying other stuff for one or two songs. But my point is that old kpop groups looooved being bipolar with their songs and images, so you could expect all kinds of styles and concepts from a group.
Lmao sorry for the history lesson, I just really appreciated older kpop. 😭
