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".

" 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.

The lyrics of DBSK's song "I Don't Know" talk about the feelings of not being able to fully understand or comprehend the person they are in love with. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer's love has become too much for them and now they are lost in a labyrinth of irony, unsure of how to proceed. The following lines introduce the idea that it is difficult to tell what someone's true intentions are, and that even though they may appear attractive, they could be dangerous like a medusa. The singer is unable to resist their allure and falls deeper into their game still unsure if they are telling the truth or not.
The chorus expresses the desperation of the singer as they state that they do not know what is happening and feel like they are constantly drowning in their feelings. The idea of destiny and eternity is mentioned, signaling that the singer is uncertain if their love is predestined or if it will last forever. The following verse introduces the idea of obsession and how love can make him lose control. The idea of a puzzle as a metaphor for destiny is used, and the singer falls further into the trap (the lure of the puzzle) and heads towards a point of no return.
The bridge reassures that, despite everything, the singer won't give up and wants the person to know that they want to be together despite the uncertainty. The closing chorus repeats the same sentiments, that the singer is clueless but still hopelessly in love.
