So, TVfXQ, or more easily DBSK, since I'm lazy to type is the only Korean boyband that I've ever had a long term interest in. Admittedly I'm not a very intense or dedicated fan, but I can say with certainty that of ALL the bands I've come into contact with, DBSK was the first and until now remains top on my list. I've spent some years not even listening to their songs, but the VERY MINUTE I do hear them, I'm back in love and addicted to their songs. I can't explain it. No other Kpop boy band has ever come close. Not Beast, Nuest(whose existence I only know off since my sister is a major Kpop fan),MBLAQ, EXO, Super Junior, no not even Big Bang. Yes I know that there will be people who do not agree with my assessment (and a whole lot more who obviously will). Do bear in mind that this is my opinion. You're entitled to yours. Finally, when I say DBSK, I mean both the original DBSK and the current DBSK.
ChangMin and YunHo have really come a long way. It's reflected in their singing, their dancing, their charisma, their whole being in their performances and personalities. ChangMin has always been my favourite btw.
So what prompted this DBSK post? Well, my friend Sophie told me today, 'You HAVE to watch DBSK's new MV 'Catch Me'. So, I went home, got on YouTube and did just that. And was left drowning in epicness. DBSK has that effect on me. Keep Your Head Down(WHY) did that too when I first heard it. Still does by the way. This one even more so. I don't have the time at the moment to fully express just how that song sounded to me. But ChangMin's vocals.....wow...I literally felt chills run up and down my spine and arms. Goosebumps followed suit. The beginning intro where his voice climbed? EPIC. And that's just the beginning. It reminded me of Rising Sun. And YunHo, his vocals were damned good too. His dancing is as good as ever, and ChangMin has improved even more, at one point I couldn't tell them apart by dance alone. This dance choreography is going to be difficult to sing to. I cannot wait for them to perform this live. It might not come out perfect, but the both of them will pull it off. Omigosh I'm listening to it as I type and ChangMin just hit another high note, the one just before it goes into full dubstep mode. So.Many.Chills.Running.Down.My.Spine.
Just to say, another song in that new album, Gorgeous, is also great. I listened to it on repeat for a long while. I love the tune changes and the change in rhythm at points. With Catch Me of course. Not that the other songs aren't equally great. But currently these two are the ones that have me stuck like a fly on sticky paper.
I reiterate, DBSK= Kings of Kpop.
Now back to this darned assignment that's depressing me......less depressed now though since bf skyped with me. Had fun teasing xD.
