Dong Bang Shin Gi means 'The Gods Of The East Are Rising'. It consists of five young boy Xiah, Hero, Micky, Max and U-Know from Seoul, South Korea. Though the band was constructed and put together by SM Entertainment, they are far from your typical boy band.

They were discovered through weekly auditions held by the company. The only member that did not audition was Xiah, who earned his spot being brought into SME through a television show. SME were looking for fresh new talent, hoping to form a new band. The rest of the members displayed their strengths in singing, dancing and rapping, which impressed those at SME, instantly earning them a spot in the company. It wasn't easy sailing from than on. The five young men weren't automatically put together, nor were any of them given a record deal but given an opportunity to achieve their dream. It would be years before they would officially debut, during that time, they would train to perfect their craft. As some of the members trained, others were put on to perform.

U-Know first debut was not with the band but as a back-up dancer and a rapper for one of the company's own singers, Dana. It was later on, SME determined that his talents were being wasted and placed him in what was soon to be known as Dong Bang Shin Gi.

Their first performance was back in December of 2003, opening for major headliners Boa and Britney Spears. Those in the venue had no clue who DBSK were but little did they know, that the opening act, those five young men were destine to make a large impact on Korean Pop.

Weeks later, after their first performance, they made their official debut in Korea, unleashing their first single 'Hug'. The medium-tempo accapella dance number was the perfect introduction, displaying the new and young image of the five boys that would take Korea by storm. After the success of their first single, they released their second single 'The Way U Are', showing a new and different image of the five heart-throbs. Many fans were stunned and shocked at the new look of the cute boy band. Despite the new look, they would continue to make an impression on the Korean public, doing varies activities and events to spread the music that was DBSG. The success has continued as they released their much anticipated 2nd studio album 'Rising Sun' and through out the rest of their singles and previous album.

Even with their beautifully sang ballads and choruses Dong Bang Shin Ki is more than just an accappella group but they're pop [Hug], R&B [Tonight], dance [Rising Sun], and maybe even a little bit of rock [Tri-Angle & Free your Mind featuring The Trax]. They have displayed through out many of their singles and their two albums that they are not to box themselves in. They want to expand their music to touch everyone in all music genres. However, it is probably best said that the beauty of their songs are exposed at its fullest when not accompanied by the sounds of instruments but sang by the lovely voices of the five.

Five different men with five different personalities, yet alike in so many ways, all with one common dream and that is to perform. Being exposed to such fame and celebrity in their late teens, one would think that the boys would be at least a bit stuck-up but thats far from it. The boys are down to earth, full of modesty and are completely humble. They owe much of their success to the fans and constantly showing their gratitude and thanks whenever they can. The boys have learned English, Japanese and Chinese [though not completely fluent] to help them communciate with their everlasting fan base. With such busy schedules at the tender ages of 17-19, the boys still find time to focus on their education, attending school to work towards finishing high school or college.

In their short career of approximately two years, their popularity has grown to such incredible heights. With the releases of 'Always There' and 'Rising Sun' from their second album and their new Japanese single 'My Destiny', they are taking the Asian world by force and don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. True to their name, they have expanded outside of their native country of Korea, directing their eye on the rest of the Asian market. But their music hasn't solely touched the hearts of those in Asia but around the world.

The Gods from the East certainly are rising..
