The M.net Awards problem...
About SM Entertainment artist took too many awards...
hm.. I dont really think so...
Do you think that ZhangLiYin shouldnt took the newcomer awards?!
Nope!! right?! She is totally talented..
And Super Junior although I cant really say that they have good vocals...
But by using 1 year, they are now so popular in Thailand, Taiwan, etc.
And DBSK, they surely are talented....
Actually according to the popularity is the most common way...
Just like American Idol... You must vote for them, right?!
And if no people vote you and its only according to the judges....
Its more biased... Maybe the judges hate some artists...
So I dont think its not accurate...
If M.net wanna to cut down the rumours...
I think next year they can try, 50% judges & 50% votes...
Just like Taiwan... their have judges, votes, DJs, media ....
I am not sure about each of the percentage...
But the votes are always the highest percentage...

Wow! QUIZ-ZY TIME!
1. When and first did you hear about DBSK? (Eg. Friends, news, mag, tv or radio)
Ok this is gonna be long x) Sort of, beginning of the year. There was this Superband competition going on tv, and there's one round when the group which i support chose DBSK's Unforgettable and Rising Sun (both chinese version) . i didn't know who's DBSK at first, so i went to youtube and search for the 2 songs. i thought they were pretty alright though. (i didnt bother knowing them lol!)
and during a gathering with the group that i support, they said they didnt wanna sing the 2 songs for a complication album, because they were afraid of spoiling the songs as DBSK is a very popular group and they showed alot respect to them. so yeah, from then i KNOW i have to know DBSK better.. YEEHA!
2. What was your first reaction of DBSK?
[First song i heard was Unforgettable (chinese version)
'Not bad.. pronounciation is alright. i can understand what they are singing. quite impressed as they are koreans ^^
3. Who was the first member you laid your eyes on ?
First? CHANGMIN!! and later i started to like Jaejoong too =))
4. Who did you think was the cutest member?
CHANGMIN, of because!
5. O.k, Last question. Name the first song/s you heard from DBSK and tell me why you luv DBSK so much?
Oh, i just said. It's Unforgettable chinese version. I started liking them because i was reeeeeeeeally impressed with their acapella!! as i was once from choir, i really appreciate acapella very much! so from there, i started to appreciate them, and i made the right choice! EVERY one of them can sing, dance, act, etc etc etc.. not every groups can be like them =)
-------------------------------
1) If you got a chance to do ONE action with each of the DBSK boys, what would you do?
I wouldnt dare to hug them.. =\ i'll just request to take photos with them
2) If you had a chance to spend some time with them, would you -:
a) spend an hour with them telling each other private stuff and talking
spend a day with them bowling
c) spend a week with them trekking in a tough forest
d) spend a month with them at super tough training sessions
D!!!
3) If you were one of their friends and you won a bet, and they had to do a forfeit, what would you make them do?
Sing a love song to... ME!!!
4) If you were one of their girlfriends and one of them wanted to thank you for inspiring them after winning an award, who would you want as your boyfriend and what you'd want him to say?
I can't decide between Changmin or Jaejoong. im not sure what i want him to say, but thank you is enough, really

About MKMF awards, I think they were people who critized that this year MKMF should be renamed to call SMMK

Yes, no doubt SM ENT is the bigger winner for this year MKMF where they won around 6 awards, but what about others management company's artistes? If I'm not worng, SG Wannabe won 3 awards and Shinhwa won 2 awards etcs.. Do they actually know that there were many many many lots of fans who kept on voting & voting hoping their idol could win?!!! That is the result they get; they were very happy when DBSG won those popularity awards because it shows that their effort had been paid off

About DBSG's lip-synicng, I thought it was alright since if they were to dance and sing at the same time, their stamina could be gone..... & fans were high when they saw theperf, weren't they?! As for this year's MKMF, many singers didn't come because of their shelude and they can't make it. If I'm not wrong, Rain had already mentioned that he will not be coming for this year any awards presentation. BoA did came at the last minute despite there were news that said that she won't be coming

Pics of them at the Hai Nan's aiport :

DBSG will be singing I Believe, Rising Sun, and 'O' Jung.Ban.Hap at the Hai Nan's concert! I hope there'll be some TV Station broadcasting the concert because I haven't seen them dancing Rising Sun and singing I believe for quite a long time ^^;
DBSG will be coming to HK on 29/11 but it's only for press conference and they'll only be in HK for 24 hours. They will then be going back to Korea for other promotional activities

CuteAznBunni: I was about to say that myself. It does look like Jun Su is being taken away by the police. Hehe!
Ch'uk'ahamnida to TVXQ again!! You've done a great job this year. Maybe you can sing live next year instead of lip synching.
I'm loyal to TVXQ, but I'd still make this criticism. If you noticed, SS501 and W-inds sang live. Especially W-inds!! They were impressive... singing immediately after breakdancing and yet they don't sound like they have difficulty breathing. But then, TVXQ danced non-stop for the entire song (SS501's routine was much more simple compared to TVXQ's) and that's hard as well. So my wish for them for the coming year is to build up that stamina and show the world that they can do it too! Aja!!!
Yay!!! Another questionnaire!!
1)If you got a chance to do ONE action with each of the DBSK boys, what would you do?I'm gonna hug them and give them each a big fat kiss!!!
2) If you had a chance to spend some time with them, would you -:Spend a long day on a private beach, swimming, surfing and playing in the sand. 
I change my mind. I want to have a mini concert with them and get them to teach me all the dance moves they'd ever learnt.
3) If you were one of their friends and you won a bet, and they had to do a forfeit, what would you make them do?Hmm... get them to strip
naked and run down the street. Wahaha!! I'll let them keep their boxers on though. No one needs to see 'that'...
4) If you were one of their girlfriends and one of them wanted to thank you for inspiring them after winning an award,who would you want as your boyfriend and what you'd want him to say?I want Jae Joong to say: Thank you for being there for me, Sierra. Without your love and support, I could not have done this. Saranghae... You are the my one and only Cassiopeia.

I, myself was pretty dissapointed when they lip-synched. But then it's not like they can't sing live while dancing to O. They showed us plenty of times that they can sing 'O live. Fans know that they can sing live, but for people who don't know DBSK at all, it would've been nice if they sang the song live at Mnet.
I read that SM Ent value (visual) performance more than singing. So basically, SM Ent ordered DBSk to lip-synch. I find that odd and bizzare, because I think the singing always comes first before dancing.
Poor DBSK got bashed throughout Korean internet sites (even newspapers). But I am sure these people probably never saw DBSK performing live. I really hope SME learn from this, and allow our boys to sing live.

Riding the Seoul Train
Korean American Teens Embrace a Pop Music Hybrid
By Cecilia Kang
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 26, 2006; Page N01
Teens swarm against the stage at DAR Constitution Hall, holding their cellphone cameras aloft, ready to fire. In nervous anticipation, a girl squeals, unleashing a torrent of Oh my Gods! and a wave of synchronized bouncing.
The object of their affection, a 26-year-old pop star named Danny, emerges in a plume of smoke and struts into a fog of high school estrogen. Jumbo rhinestone-studded crosses dangle from his neck. He peels down to his singlet, showing off lean tattooed arms and baring just enough of his glistening ice-hard chest to set off fountains of tears and howls of eye-squinting desire.
K-pop idol Se7en, who often plays to capacity crowds in Asia, heats up the stage last month at Constitution Hall. (By Tracy A. Woodward -- The Washington Post)
"Obbah," screams Elaine Park, a sophomore at Lake Braddock High School in Burke. "Obbah! You're so freaky sexy!"
Obbah? It means "elder brother" in Korean, and it's the sort of honorific that sets this teen crowd apart from one you might have found for, say, 'N Sync. Normally "older brother" wouldn't belong in the same sentence as "sexy," yet it's a combination that fits this culturally blended audience.
Other than that, it's an example of a classic teeny-bopper formula that works in Korea just as well as it does anywhere else, since the days of the bobby-soxers and the Beatles. "Ahnyong haseyo! What's up, D.C.?" he bellows, greeting the audience. They respond with even louder screams as a sea of neon glow sticks wave frantically in appreciation.
He launches into Korean rap, pumping his shoulders to the heavy hip-hop bass line of "Nasty," sung in English and Korean. His 1Tym group mate Teddy Park joins in, wearing a trucker hat over a Louis Vuitton do-rag: "Say He-ey! Say ho-oh!"
Born and raised near Los Angeles, Danny Im is among a growing cadre of Korean Americans who have broken into the Korean entertainment industry and now serve as K-pop stars to be exported globally.
Some hail from the suburbs of Northern Virginia: Chart-topper Micky Yuchun of boy group TVXQ attended Chantilly High before he became famous in Asia for his baby-face good looks and Justin Timberlake dance moves; Lee Ming Young of the best-selling pop duo As One is a graduate of Fairfax High School.
Like the thousand-plus fans at the multi-act concert at Constitution Hall last month, Danny grew up with one Converse-clad foot firmly planted in the beats and sounds of Snoop and Mariah, and the other in the burgeoning hip-hop and R&B scene of Korea. He and other artists, including the show's headlining star, Se7en, routinely sell out arenas in Korea and across Asia.
"You grow up hearing all kinds of music, languages and sounds growing up in America," says Danny, an eight-year veteran Korean singer and rapper. "Those experiences make you open to more things and more versatile. "
One in five residents of the Washington area is foreign-born, making imports like manga (Japanese comics) and bhangra (Punjabi music) part of the cultural vernacular of the youth. Global travel is more accessible. So is entertainment. In the world of teens, K-pop, J-pop and Taiwanese pop music and movies are a click away. Even some K-pop band names mean more than Americans realize: TVXQ, for example, is a transliteration of the name in Mandarin Chinese -- the group is also seeking a market in the Communist mainland.
This cultural shift has, of course, caught the attention of big business. In the past year, MTV World has launched three channels -- MTV Desi, MTV Chi and MTV K -- with a mix of content from the United States and Asia catering to Asian Americans.
"Asian American youth are coming of age in this country," said Nusrat Durrani, general manager of MTV World. "They are bicultural and demanding a more bicultural experience."
* * *
Micky Yuchun grew up in Seoul, where he was known as Yuchun Park. He immigrated with his parents, middle-class small-business owners, in the sixth grade. He watched Korean dramas on satellite TV and listened to the CDs of K-pop bands. At Holmes Middle School, Chantilly High and among friends, he soaked up the Backstreet Boys, Eric Clapton and MTV.
Three years ago he was plucked from talent contests in Northern Virginia to join one of Asia's hottest boy bands. He uses his American moniker, Micky, as his stage name.
"I felt 50-50 American and Korean," Micky, 21, says in a telephone interview from Seoul. "I think most Korean kids in America feel that way these days."
That's true of Alice Chang, 17, who has closely watched celebrities like Danny and Micky rise from the U.S. suburbs to globe-trotting stardom. The Fairfax native is making a run for fame herself: She plans to try out as a singer on "American Idol" next season. Fluent in Korean and possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of Korean entertainers, she has aspirations to become a K-pop star, too.
"I want to make it in American or Korean entertainment," says the Fairfax High senior. "I could see myself fitting in either."
So on a recent balmy Sunday afternoon, Alice is among about 200 hopefuls who show up at SM Entertainment's talent auditions at the Don Quixote bar and club in Alexandria. Parents pull up to the peeling facade of the two-story Latin dance club in their Honda Odysseys, dropping off sons and daughters -- perhaps the next Beyonces and Ushers of Korea. Five friends in knit caps and trucker hats practice break-dance moves in the parking lot, fine-tuning their footwork and robot-sharp turns. A dozen contestants are gathered around a parked minivan that is playing Korean music videos on two drop-down DVD screens.
Inside the Don Quixote, talent scout Jung Ah Kang of SM Entertainment sits behind a folding tablle on the dance floor as contestants come before her in groups of five. They each take turns singing a cappella for Kang, "Idol"-style. There's a silver disco ball overhead and Spanish-language beer posters on the walls.
Kang is stoic, taking careful notes while assistants train a video camera on the dance floor. After months of travel, she will return to Korea with only a handful of standouts to call back. One may be the next big thing for the Korean pop star machine.
Clean-cut, wearing an argyle sweater and jeans, Alice waits for her number to be announced. In a prayer-like gesture, she raises her clasped hands to her face and takes several deep breaths. "I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous," she tells herself.
When she is called, Alice introduces herself in Korean and then in English and sings "Sarah," a love ballad from Korean chanteuse BoA. Her voice sounds dry and she sings softly. Kang then asks Alice to dance freestyle for the camera along with four other contestants.
* * *
Just as baby boomers once fought over which Beatle would be their "boyfriend," teens Elaine Park, Joanne Kim and Christina Oh argue over who gets to "claim" Tae Yang of boy band Big Bang.
They are sophomores at Lake Braddock High and self-described BFFs -- best friends forever. All born and raised in Fairfax, the three have attended the same schools and churches since childhood. They've shared countless hours lounging in each other's bedrooms, the walls decorated with posters of Korean boy bands, memorizing lyrics and scouring Korean entertainment forums like Soompi.com for scraps of gossip.
At the concert at Constitution Hall, the three stake their claim to a small section in front of the stage. Elaine says she will go home happy if she can give Big Bang's Tae Yang a personal memento -- maybe her student ID.
As performers come on, one by one, the friends sing all the lyrics -- Korean and English -- to songs performed by Se7en, Gummy and Lexy. Arms interlaced, they sway side to side.
"I like American music too, but sometimes I find it too sexual," says 16-year-old Christina. "Korean music is more innocent, but still really fun."
Suddenly the stage falls dim. With a buildup of smoke and flashing lights, the six members of Big Bang come out to the heavily synthesized dance beats of the song "La La La."
The BFFs lose it as the music inspires a hormonal storm. The floor shakes. Fans jump and scream. "Musheesuh!" a girl in back yells. You are so handsome!
Elaine presses forward, trying to get as close as she can. Her moment arrives; Tae Yang comes to her part of the stage. She frantically grabs for something to give him: a water bottle. He takes it and smiles. She floats to another world, but a very familiar one.

1) If you got a chance to do ONE action with each of the DBSK boys, what would you do?
hmm i would want to hold their hands for long long time...cause i too shy to hug them or kiss them...
2) If you had a chance to spend some time with them, would you -:
a) spend an hour with them telling each other private stuff and talking
b )spend a day with them bowling
c) spend a week with them trekking in a tough forest
d) spend a month with them at super tough training sessions
hmm...i will spend a month with them at supertough training sessions...because i can dance with them, practise with them, same time can also do lots of things...
3) If you were one of their friends and you won a bet, and they had to do a forfeit, what would you make them do?
hmm, i want them to dance or sing for me...or say some jokes that is super funny...haha
4) If you were one of their girlfriends ( I'd die happy) and one of them wanted to thank you for inspiring them after winning an award ( yeah right),who would you want as your boyfriend and what you'd want him to say?
hmm...i want u-know to be my boyfriend....and i wanna him to say thanks for all this time for being at his side when he is down or happy, glad that to have you around....haha

I, myself was pretty dissapointed when they lip-synched. But then it's not like they can't sing live while dancing to O. They showed us plenty of times that they can sing 'O live. Fans know that they can sing live, but for people who don't know DBSK at all, it would've been nice if they sang the song live at Mnet.
I read that SM Ent value (visual) performance more than singing. So basically, SM Ent ordered DBSk to lip-synch. I find that odd and bizzare, because I think the singing always comes first before dancing.
Poor DBSK got bashed throughout Korean internet sites (even newspapers). But I am sure these people probably never saw DBSK performing live. I really hope SME learn from this, and allow our boys to sing live.
Actually, I was expecting them to sing live [since they have done it numerous times already]
But take in consideration that Junsu was sick. ^^
Actually, it's not SM that values visual performances more. It's the whole Korean culture. The fans rather watch something 'perfect' with perfect dances and performances.
If you look at their Japan activities, their showcases, stages are pretty simple; It's practically bare I would daresay. Sometimes it's just 5 of them and the mikes [like M!on premium showcase] with no backstage dancers etc.. cuz in Japan, most fans expect live performances
I have yet to see any jap performance of them lipsyncing. YeT^^
and thank you love*knots for the translated news and pictures! and to the rest as well! ^^

Ichigo Heaven :
Ehh!! You haven't watch it yet??.. Even in youtube??.. Why??.. Had any problem girl??.. ahah.. I just ordered their 3rd album Version C with DVD repackage Vacation with subs from YesAsia.. ahah.. Have you bought their 3rd album yet??Look! I found something interesting from MySpace.. ahah.. So FUNNY!!
1. Yoochun is the lazy one in the group.
2. Junsu wakes everybody up in the morning with his video games.
3. Changmin is a crybaby.
4. Junsu is an uncle.
5. Yoochun is from the U.S. but was born in Korea.
6. Jaejoong is the "mom"; he cooks.
7. Yunho is the leader.
8. The house in "Ocean's 12" is the house in Miduyo.
9. Yoochun's family currently lives in Virginia.
10. Yoochun has had a lot of girlfriends.
11. They watch Korean dramas when they have time.
12. Junsu, Yunho, and Yoochun are all ambidextrous.
13. Jaejoong and Yoochun both dropped out of high school.
14. They both used to smoke.
15. Jaejoong wants to marry a fan- he believes that he`ll end up marrying a fan anyway.
16. Junsu wants a bright girl with a positive outlook of the world. Yoochun thinks it`s because Junsu is a negative person.
17. Yoochun doesn`t want to get married. (Junsu disagrees...he thinks that he MUST get married...)
18. Jaejoong wants 2 daughters and 1 son while Junsu wants 2 sons and 1 daughter. Yunho wants 5 sons and 20 daughters - Junsu says "Think of your wife!" and Jaejoong says "Are you trying to kill somebody?"
19. Yunho wants a girl who is assertive and has senses - someone who can guide him.
20. Changmin wants to marry someone who is girly and who will attach herself easily because he is shy and quiet.
21. Yunho`s message to his future son is "I love you".
22. Junsu thinks that dating and marriage are the same thing because he sees the girl he`s dating as his future wife. He has to like the girl that much (enough to see her as a hopefully Mrs. Kim Junsu) in order for him to date her - he doesn`t want to date just anyone. He`ll date her to a point where he wants to marry her. (Changmin agrees with him.)
23. Junsu likes to use his hand as a pillow.
24. Jaejoong made Changmin show off his body in their Hiyaya single.
25. Yunho sleeps diagonally on his bed.
26. Jaejoong was laughed at because of his puberty stage--his voice would crack and his friends would laugh at him each time he sang.
27. Yunho got rejected by a friend that he came to like. He asked her out and lit 100 candles. She told him she only wanted to be friends.
28. Junsu was suppose to debut earlier, but due to puberty...he lost his voice. He would always go and scream hoping his voice would come back.
29 Before debut, Max would make up excuses as to why he missed class. Each time it was always a relative's funeral and when he couldn't make that up he'd say something else. No one was curious because Max has a wide range of relatives.
30. Micky ikes to sleep listening to music on his walkman. He tends to drop it, so at nighttime Junsu might get hit with a walkman or book or something. (That was when they had bunkbeds...) SOO ADORKABLE~~

I think u can watch their Hai Nan's concert thru' tvAnts ^^;
Download the program:
http://cache3.tvants.com/?keyword=%u56FD%u5185 & find the channel called: 旅游卫视
Not that 100% sure though but u can still check the channel

The concert will start around 7.30PM [China's time]
About them lip-syncing
When I was watching their perf. for 'O' Jung.Ban.Hap, I was hoping that they could sing live for almost every perf, but they lip-sync-ed

Then slowly I got used to it since most of the Korea singers did the same thing too when they're singing fast songs
A news report about DBSG at Hai Nan's concert by Sohu It has been 2 years since I had met TVXQ! They were still very shy when I first saw them, however, today, when I met them again, they indeed had a drastic change.
Yoon Ho had really become more handsome, but he still holds the firm and resolute eyes he had whenever he is dancing. As for Jae Joong, he becomes more pretty. However, it is a pity that I didn't get a chance to see him smiling from the route to airport to the rehearsal area. It was definte that Chang Min has the largest change as compared to the others. From far, he isn't a tall boy but now, a young lad with lots of muscles
YooChun smile is still cheerful as usual, he seems to be even happier when he saw the beautiful view of this place. JunSu is well-know for his duck buttock?! where he dances with 100% power. Translation by:

i realized that they do lipsync during fast dance song performances, it kind of sucks but still the hot dancing makes up for it~! and besides we all know the guys can sing so its all good!

although i wished they sang live for everythinggg ~ would be MORE awesome

that's so bad of micky to have the impression that junsu is negative just because of junsu wanting a bright girl with a positive outlook of the world. i personally thinks that junsu wants an optimistic girl because he himself is optimistic. i see some yoosu in there. but it's just me.

There was a woman in Italy or something a long,long time ago who lived with her farmer husband and they had 61 children. She was 60++ by the time her last child was born. JJ has the same preferences as me! I'd want two daughters and a son too...hmm...I bet a lot of girls wanna marry him...

Six of us tried it today. It was okay! In fact, it was fun! As in, small groups, maybe max. 6 or 7. Then the appointed leaders go together into a conference and talk about their ideas they've discussed. And it wasn't unorganized. It was neat!~YingLing~ : I think that was her point. He is in desperate need of some girls. AHAHAHAAA! But it's a cute shirt. Lol. Yunho looks so formal, as usual. The rest are dressed in casual shirts and the dude is in a jacket. Lol. More gentleman-ly, I guess. Did anybody else notice, or is it just me, Changmin's been looking un-Changmin like lately. He just doesn't look like himself to me. I don't know why.

14. They both used to smoke. (Micky and JaeJoong)
Which explains why JaeJoong's voice cracks (in a nice way) when he hits those high notes.... and the fact that he can hit those high notes. I heard that most popular singers cannot achieve that type of voice (even with training) unless they have previously smoked (Mariah Carey has admitted to it as well... and she can sing HIGH...!)

22. Junsu thinks that dating and marriage are the same thing because he sees the girl he`s dating as his future wife.

He`ll date her to a point where he wants to marry her. (Changmin agrees with him.)
That is a healthy outlook to take on dating. Go Xiah!
*It's funny that JaeJoong wants to marry a fan. Personally, I think it'd be kinda freaky. "Whoa. You know more about me then I know about you." It kinda ruins the whole 'falling in love' process when you discover as much as you can about the other person... when you already know as much as you can about the other person... hahhaa.

Nov 28 2006 5 00 PM
wow, nanshi, you are visiting here pretty often nowadays. it's nice to have you around. do come in often. 
i can't believe that smoking can help a singer to hit the high notes?!! have both micky and jaejoong quit smoking? cause i kinda hate it when people smokes. it's very unhealthy. 
now that you mention it, it does look pretty scary to marry a fan. i mean the love between them will not be in the true form. like if i were to marry him, i will most probably be admiring him. and not loving him like a normal couple who fall in love naturally. and i would probably have a fangirl moment all the time. it's like not falling in love with his unique, private person that he is. it will be more likely a love for who he is as a public figure.

About MKMF : Lee Soo Man & Mnet have a good relationship and once SM has had a SCANDAL with Mnet ( I'm not sure if it's true or not). People said that some years ago SM has bought prizes for their singers ( a few, not all ) in MKMF . This year , nobody can know whether it happened , but I think because of their good relationship ( SM & Mnet ) , Mnet favoured for SM's singers , especially Zhang Li Yin ( she sings live really badly

) . I read it in some forums & I'm not sure , so I hope u won't believe it totally because it's only a rumor that was begun by the lack of MKMF's prestige . Remember SM , Mnet & CJ Entertainment are close companies
Though I'm glad because our DBSK won many awards , but u see , many people are not satisfied , so I'm really sad

. This doesn't mean I deny DBSK's talent & achievements but I can't stand SM . They don't let our boys sing live dance songs in most of important events ( in normal show ,it's not a matter ) although they can ( look at all their perf. in Japan ). Who will admit your talent if u lipsync even at a big event ?????? While W-inds sang live , Suju , SS501 , DBSK & Uhm Jung Hwa lipsync

. I'm disappointed about this

Only one thing that I like in MKMF this year . That is the stage ...
whoa...been MIA for quite sometime...dunno wats really going on here
...anyhoo, i see some Q&A happenin here and there...oh well, regarding their lip-syncing matter...as much as i love 'em, i enjoy their perfs better wen they sing LIVE...am not really a fan of lip-syncing
...i was hoping they'll sing live at MKMF...granted, its an enormous task to sing and dance at the same time esp with those kinda dance routines they do but yea, LIVE is always good
...aniwai, my love for DBSK goes on and on
...look forward to each and every of their perfs
Its nice dat Joongie is willing to marry a fan...random Joongie
...gta take care of my hands and feet tho

I don't really understand the mentality of not letting singers
sing at shows...
since DBSK has sung live, at least fans know it...but the point of their career is to sing - why not let them sing?
Can anyone explain?
Marry a fan is...nice, it's kinda weird though, I'd agree. I mean, marrying someone who happens to like your music is a different thing from a fan (I'm imagining someone like us

).

Why not let them sing? ---Maybe god & SM know ...
But I think because DBSK's pef. schedule is very tight ( almost everday) , so SM limits their live performance when they sing a dance song to protect their voice or something but I'm not sure . Most of SM's singers have sung lipsync before even Shinhwa or H.O.T . But lipsync in a big event like MKMF ... it'd better not
And do you guys take notice of some program such as Show Music Bank of KBS or Music Core of MBC that DBSK performed ? All singers must sing live . I like those programs ...
