MOHAMAD FAIZAL SAMSUDIN discovers a world of friendship and music across language barriers as a fan of Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin KiI DO not understand Korean but the music, vocals and performance of Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK) have captured my attention.
The group consists of five members — Xiah Junsu, Micky Yuchun, Hero Jaejoong, U-know Yunho and Choikang Changmin.
DBSK has split up due to issues with its management and three of its members Junsu, Yuchun and Jaejoong have formed a new group, JYJ.
Being a DBSK fan makes me a Cassies, short for Cassiopeia, an official worldwide fan club created for DBSK fans to gather, share news, interest and talk about the group.
It has been more than two years since I became a devoted fan and I keep myself updated with its latest activities.
YouTube introduced me to DBSK. I was searching for Korean dramas to download but DBSK’s Hug music video caught my eye. I was hooked in an instant.
I started to search all related information about it after that.
DBSK performed a concert in Malaysia before it disbanded. I was able to catch JYJ live when the group came here for its album showcase last month.
Junsu is my favourite as he has the best vocals, dance skills and expression when he sings.
When I decided to go to the showcase, I did not have anyone to accompany me. However, I did not let that blow my chances of meeting JYJ.
I did not dare to blink when I was watching the show as I wanted to capture the entire event.
I was screaming and shouting for Junsu again and again. The showcase left me happy throughout the week.
I cannot wait for JYJ’s concert that may be held next year.
Some of my friends make fun of me because I am a boy obsessed with DBSK and JYJ. Well, I saw several other boys during the showcase and many of them are Chinese. The majority of Cassies are girls.
We are all connected with a special relationship that is hard for me to explain. That bond has introduced me to a few other Cassies who were willing to hang out with me during the show.
It felt like the whole world was smiling at me when they mentioned that I am the first and only Malay “fan boy” that they know.
The friendship did not end there. We stayed in touch via Facebook.
In fact, I managed to make friends with Cassies from Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Tunisia, among others, via the social network.
DBSK and JYJ unite us all.
Becoming a Cassies has also inspired me to achieve my goals.
I studied Tourism Management at Universiti Teknologi Mara and hope to work in Korea or Japan, specifically with the Malaysian Embassy.
To secure my dream job, I must gain work experience at related organisations in Malaysia.
I have already applied to work in the Foreign Affairs and Tourism Ministries and plan to take the Administrative and Diplomatic Service entrance exam.
The bands have also motivated me to learn Korean.
After discovering DBSK, I started to say “Ahn Nyong Ha Se Yo” instead of “Hello” whenever I make and receive calls from my friends.
They kept asking me, “Do you really need to do that?” but I just smile.
DBSK and JYJ are the most entertaining “Korean Language Teachers” ever!
I also picked up the language from books and watching Korean drama series.
I spent my leisure time at Kinokuniya in KLCC to read more books or related materials when I was studying in Shah Alam.
There is no harm in being obsessed with boy bands as long as you can gain something positive out of it.
Your interest in boy bands should not only allow you to enjoy yourself but also inspire you to do great things.

Hey Cassies~
A group of us from the LA Showcase facebook discussion page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/JYJ-Los-Angeles-Discussion-Board/140652409318009?v=app_2373072738&ref=ts#!/pages/JYJ-Los-Angeles-Discussion-Board/140652409318009) are trying to purchase 1000 LED lightsticks so we can create a full red ocean for JYJ. Unfortunately, it will cost $800 for 1000 lightsticks and we can’t come up with that kind of money in such a short time. So in order to create a FULL RED OCEAN, we’ll need all the support we can get. Please send Tiffany Chien (tifferini@gmail.com) or I (ng0cnguy3n@yahoo.com), a message if you’ll like to help donate! 100% of the money will go towards purchasing lightsticks, we’re keeping none of it for ourselves. Even $1 counts a lot! We would really love to show our support and gratitude towards JYJ by giving them a full red ocean! Thank you!
Dear all,
We all know now that JYJ holding their showcase in United States for free due to the failure to clear up visa for them.
In other words we can say that Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu paid instead of being paid to promote their album and to let even more fans watching to their live music. Imagine how much should these people spent to pay for all staffs hotel rooms, venue, dancers, etc–all those costs are probably cut from the three’s fees they’ve gathered through previous showcases .
Regarding this issue, a lot of people sent SYC e-mail asking us to organize a fund raising which will be used to buy a mass number of The Beginning albums and those albums bought are going to distribute to SYC readers through contest, and other big kpop websites founders (in USA, Europe, Asia) to promote JYJ themselves.
We’re thinking of asking USD 20 donation per person (or you can give more) for this project, we will buy JYJ /THE BEGINNING (NEW LIMITED EDITION) (with 36p photobook) that is going to release on November 19th.
But of course, since we only help to grant fans’ wishes to help JYJ, we want to make sure that this project will not fail, because once it started, it will takes even more time from SYC team that consists only 5 of us. So to everyone who are definitely will help, please fill the poll provided below–if the number of fans who will participate doesn’t meet the target, we won’t start the project at all.
The poll will open for 1 week only.
Sincerely,
SYC Admins

So… what is this all about? Well, lately we have a lot of information, photos, fancams, music, showcases, videos, and everything from JYJ. And that is AWESOME, isn’t it? We’re happy for them and with them and it’s really nice to see them so active.
BUT.
JYJ is only 3/5. Where are the other 2/5? Yunho and Changmin are not that active right now. Changmin could be even called a hermit… But does this mean we love them less? Does this mean we are already forgetting them? Not caring about them?
NO.
So this is why this thing has been done, to show our love and support for the other 2 members of the 5 gods. They deserve it too, wherever they are, whatever they are doing 
So, how do we do this? Easy:
SPAM!
Spam everywhere with HoMin related things! Post pictures of them, edits of their pictures, macros, fanarts, quotes, songs, fanvideos, videos… whatever you want! Anything related to them, and your love for them, is welcomed.
To make this more ‘funny’ and to try to persuade people to participate, I created a small contest. It’s a really easy one! Here, at this post that will be kept public, post a link to the sites where you will be spamming HoMin love, or the user name of your twitter/tumblr/livejournal/whatever where you will post it all. The sites have to be public, since this is a spreading the love everywhere contest! ;P
Me and a couple of other Yunho and Changmin biased people (XD) will check all the links and spams around, and decide who contributed the most to spread the HoMin love. That person will be the winner! And what will the prize be? The only thing I can offer: a fanart by me. Since this is HoMin day, it would basically be Yunho or Changmin, but if the winner is biased towards other member, it’s also ok! Anything TVXQ related will be ok ^^ Plus, if the money and the post service of my country (^^U) allows it, I’ll send a folded A3 poster version of the draw to the winner ^^. It’s always better to have it in your hands, isn’t it? ;P
So, the basic rules:
1. The contest will have a length of 24 hours (HoMin DAY, not week %D) from 08/8 am on the 11th of november until 08/8 am on the 12th of november. (GMT/UTC time, adapt it to your countries ;P)
2. Everything is welcomed as a way of support to them: your favorite photos of them, a song that reminds you of them, your favorite song by them, or video, or a draw you’ve done, or a writing you’ve done about them, etc etc.
3. All sites welcomed for the spam, as long as they are public and can be checked by everybody. We want to spread the love to them, and we want the world to see it!
4. You can post as much as you want during the day. The more you post, the more chances of winning!
5. You can post about the both of them, or Yunho alone, or Changmin alone. All is valid as long as it is about them two ^^
6. No couple stuff, please. This is a message for them as the people they are, and to show them we support them, so nothing that could offend them in any way, please. Let’s be neutral! ^^
7. No mentions of 5-2=0, 5-3=0, COMEBACKNOW, and stuff like that. As much as some fans are hurting, this is to show love and support, not to put more pressure on them.
8. The winner will be anounced the night of the 12/10/10, or during the 13/10/10 at this community
So come on, participate!! It’s an easy thing to do, you don’t have to work much on it nor prepare much stuff for it. And they both deserve all our love. They have been there for long years too, loving us, giving us their souls, their music, their lives. Let’s show them that we’re still here for them, as well as for JYJ ^^
You can also spam HoMin love without taking part on the contest ^^
Another thing to make this the ultimate HoMin day, if you have a twitter, let’s trend weloveHoMin (no hashtag, #) during the whole day tomorrow! Let’s see if we can make it to the top 10, and someone shows them they’re there ;P
That’s all! Spread the word, tell every TVXQ fan to participate, and let’s spam the world with some HoMin LOVE!!! ^^
PS. please, SPREAD THE WORD. Tell everybody, announce it everywhere, so all the TVXQ fans will contribute and make the HoMin day a success!

For all the fans attending New York Showcase in 6 days, we have a simple project for you!
Remember the beautiful blue sea during Stand By U at TSC Dome concert that brought a smile onto their faces? We will be doing something similar for the New York showcase!
For this project, we will be trying to change the color of the “Red Ocean” to a “White Ocean” for one song,
Chajatta-Found You (SKKS OST).
Instructions:
1) Have your cellphone charged and ready for the day
2) Change the background of your cellphone to a solid white background
3) When they announce Chajatta-Found You, turn off your lightsticks (the red ones)
4) Hold up your cellphone as if it is a lightstick for the duration of the song
5) Spread this news to your friends so they can join in on the fun too
Note: Remember to turn off the timer for your backlight so your cellphone can stay on throughout the whole song!
Donations
We are collecting donations to print out the instructions
on papers so we can distribute them at the venue.
This way, people who do not know of the project can still join in.
Our goal right now is $50 – we can get 1600 fliers for that amount
To donate, simply click here 
“The sight of togetherness of the fans and the the color of love, hope, passion, and life (red) flying through the sky to heaven or beyond is beautiful, and it would be even more beautiful if we could see fans all over the world do this. Let’s follow TVXQ with positivity and support and love. Let our hopes fly just as high as the red balloons and never come down again”.
Our project was inspired by Red Sky in Vietnam. This sight of togetherness of the fans and the the color of love, hope, passion, and life flying through the sky to heaven or beyond is beautiful, and it would be even more beautiful if we could see fans all over the world do this.
