DBSK (Dong Bang Shin Ki) is one of Korea's most popular boy band under SM Entertainment. Debuted in December 26, 2003, their first single HUG captured the many hearts of Korean girls and soon, formed the Korean fanclub, Cassiopeia. ]Their official debut was held as a Christmas special where they performed the song Oh Holy Night with BoA and their debut song HUG live. In the same year, two months after their first album they have already released their second album which was a Christmas album dedicated for their fans. Both their first and second album soared through the Korean charts. SM Entertainment saw DBSK's potential to be marketed overseas, therefore, several versions of HUG and TRI-ANGLE (one of the songs from their album TRI-ANGLE) were made. A Chinese, International (English) and Japanese version were made for HUG while TRI-ANGLE had all versions except for an English version. Nonetheless, DBSK were fairly successful overseas. SM Entertainment began a push to make DBSK debut in Japan language barrier aside. In 2005, DBSK was introduced in the Japanese market with their single Stay with Me Tonight. In the summer of the same year, DBSK gained popularity in Japan that they continued releasing singles in the Japanese market. Later, they were to be marketed throughout Asia, these countries include Malaysia, Thailand and China.DBSK can not only sing and dance, but they also learned how to speak Japanese fluently, some Mandarin and some English in addition to their first language, Korean.This year, following Koda Kumi's success, Rhythm Zone came up with the plan to release five more singles in February and March for DBSK. Each single will contain a member's solo. All five solos are included in the Mash-Up song Trick, the intro to their T album, and the main song on the T.R.I.C.K. singles. Also, DBSK will release their 22nd single Beautiful You in April and in May, it has been confirmed that DBSK will perform in Hollywood Bowl on May 17th as part of the Korean Music Festival along with fellow SM Entertainment Artists BoA and Super Junior. TVXQ releases their latest single Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou on July 16th 2008
