Happy Birthday Yoochun!

Yah! Guess whose birthday it is?  Our favorite chun-face: Yoochun!  Yoochun’s birthday is June 4 and the deep voiced cutie pie turns 24 (western).  Yoochun is 1/5  of the supergroup Tohoshinki (DBSK / THSK)  and is currently filming a new drama called SungKyunKwan Scandal in which he will make his acting debut as the lead male character.

Yoochun holds up the low notes and can sound a bit naughty if he goes too deep. Teehee! But he also has a very large range and can hit some of the highest of high notes when necessary.

Yoochun is a Gemini, loves long walks on the beach and… ah, I’m just kidding!

Chunnie, as he is affectionately called by those close to him, is known for those oh so kissable red lips and his sophisticated demeanor. However, Yoochun is quite giggly and he seems to love laughing and having fun.

Oooh Junsu! Junsu is HOT on the Oricon (Japan) charts with Intoxication. The single flirted with the 200,000 mark in its first week of release. The sexy song and sexier video was met with both surprise and delight by fans in Japan leading to 195,000 copies sold. Some entire albums in the US don’t sell that much in their debut week.

This single includes songs from the cool R&B genre to songs which touched people’s hearts, reflecting the great and handsome charm of Xiah Junsu.
The singing becomes the soul in an album.
As a singer, Xiah Junsu has taken an important step from here.

Q: Xiah Junsu finally started as a solo artist. First of all, can you tell us how you’re feeling?
A: I feel very nervous and stressed out, but I’m also very happy. All in all, I’m having mixed feelings about it.

Q: Are you still feeling stressed?
A: Of course! Every time, I always think whether I’m capable of giving a good performance for everyone.

Q: So, what’s the theme of this solo project?
A: This single is entitled “XIAH,” the name which I use in Korea. As a singer, I hope that my music can reflect more of myself. I think “XIAH” can describe the theme for this solo.

Q: “XIAH” also shows a strong demonstration of Junsu’s personality. It’s a really good song.
A: What do you mean?
Q: (laughs) I think all the songs are nice.
A: Ah, that’s great! The CD is already on sale. Have you heard the songs yet?

Q: I heard the songs already so I’m recommending it to people around me.
A: You have to!

SM Efforts to Control the name “DBSK” Gets Shot Down, Trademark App Denied

dbsk
Another blow for SM Entertainment (SM), the Korean management company, some critics say, that thinks its okay to sign kids to 13 year contracts and treat them like slavesX indentured servants.

Months ago, and after the three members took their case against SM to court, the management company tried to trademark the rights to the name “DBSK”.

SM claims they “withdrew” the application to trademark the names. Fans, however, say they have found information to the contrary. According to translated reports, SM’s application to trademark that name was previously rejected.

That means SM does not own the name “DBSK” and may also mean they can’t prevent the guys from using it.
