FAQ: What is Cassiopeia?
A: Cassiopeia is the official Korean, Chinese, Thailand, Malaysian and Global fan club for TVXQ. It is a constellation of five stars that form a “W” on the night sky. Coincidentally, the word “TVfXQ” also forms a “W” when traced on a computer keyboard. Cassiopeia is regarded as “The Queen”. During TVXQ’s Korean comeback for their fourth studio album, their comeback was called, “The Return of the King”.

They dreamt. They fought. They believed in their dreams and in themselves. Before they met, they were five dreaming boys. When they are together, they are one. Their name: 동방신기, Rising Gods of the East. The five-member South Korean group has demonstrated that they have amazing talent on and off stage with beautiful voices, powerful dances, an amazing image, sweet harmonization, and great personalities, 동방신기 has put itself in the top of the music industry since the beginning. Releasing four albums in South Korea – since 2004 to 2008 -, they have changed the way of music in their homeland, beating every chart and winning every award. Moreover, they have gained huge popularity, with their official Korean fan club, “Cassiopeia”, becoming the biggest fanclub in the world. But, as with every artist, 동방신기 wanted to try breaking into another big market: Japan. The beginning was hard and painful, but they fought and worked hard. In the end, what they achieved was the title of “the first foreign artist” (in Japan) to experience such success. Their long and difficult Japanese career has taken them through the release of three albums and have three sold out live tours. Their numerous accomplishments in South Korea, Japan and other countries in Asia bestowed upon them the title of “the best group of Asia”. This heavy claim drew many eyes from all over the world towards 동방신기. However, fans did not fall under the 동방신기 Fever because of their achievements. No… Rather, it was something with more meaning. It was the hard work, the sweat, the love, the teamwork, the sheer inspiration that DBSK shed – all these things and more, have made millions fall in love again and love with this absolutely amazing acapella idol group. 2004 2005 2006 2008 2009 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Misarang Imsil Cheese Pizza Hanilkwan <– this is Chun’s grandparent’s restaurant.
