SHINee vows to return to Philippines

Korean idol group SHINee will likely include the Philippines in their itinerary if they embark on an Asian tour.

SHINee members Onew, Jonghyun, Minho, and Key made the announcement at the press conference following their participation in the concert dubbed “Philippines-Korea Friendship Festival,” held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) last November 27.

SHINee is part of the current hallyu, or Korean wave, currently sweeping Asia. They debuted in the Korean music scene in 2008 under SM Entertainment agency, which also manages boy bands TVXQ and Super Junior.

“It was such an amazing experience. I actually cried,” one Filipino fan posted on the SHINee World Philippines fan forum after watching the pop idol group performed.

SHINee’s repertoire included “Stand by Me”, a song from the official soundtrack of the Korean hit drama series, “Boys over Flowers;” “Juliette,” one of their hits in Korea; and “Ring Ding Dong,” the group’s latest output that has already won several awards. Their fifth member, Taemin, was unable to join the concert due to illness.

Fans of the Korean boy band---many of whom wore SHINee t-shirts and brought banners and balloons---started lining up outside CCP as early as 1 p.m., some four hours before showtime. Many of the concertgoers got their tickets through a raffle sponsored by Arirang TV days prior.

The “Philippines-Korea Friendship Festival” concert was emceed by VJ Isak of Arirang TV’s “Pops in Seoul” and Filipino actor Luis Manzano. The opening remarks were given by Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Choi Joong Kyung.

Other featured acts were Filipino dance troupe Teatro Miguel, reggae band Brownman Revival, Korean jazz group Winterplay, and Korean rap duo Mighty Mouth.

The concert was part of the Korean Cultural Festival in the Philippines. It was organized by Korean broadcast station Arirang TV and government-owned TV station NBN, with support from Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism; Korea Communications Commission; the Korean Embassy in the Philippines; United Korean Community Association in the Philippines; Department of Tourism; Hanjin; ABS-CBN; SkyCable and Global Destiny.

SHINee is the first Korean idol group to hold a concert in the Philippines.

TVXQ "The 3rd Asia Tour Concert Mirotic Live Album"

Although it's not an official 5th album, the boys of TVXQ release their live concert album, "TVXQ: The 3rd Asia Tour Concert Mirotic Live Album"! The new live concert CD will consist of tracks from their February 2009 concert at the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Naturally, the guys performed many of the songs off their "Mirotic" album including "Hey! (Don't Bring Me Down)", "Crazy Love" and "Wrong Number" but they also made room for older dance hits like "Rising Sun" and "Purple Line", as well as a few of their Japanese tracks including "Somebody To Love" and "Sky" plus remix versions of perennial favorites "Hug", "The Way U Are" and "Balloons" adding up to a whopping 34 live tracks!

What’s unique about their new 34 track live concert CD album is that it includes solo tracks from each member. Yunho’s contribution is the self-produced track titled "Checkmate". Junsu also produced his own track titled "Xiahtic" featuring SHINee member Key. A solo by Chang-min titled, "Upon This Rock" and one by Jae-joong titled "It’s My World" have also been included. In addition, TVXQ fans can also hear a piano track, performed by Yoo-chun himself titled "Love Bye Love".

TVXQ, an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi, are a South Korean boy band quintet formed under SM Entertainment in 2003. In South Korea they are known as Dong Bang Shin Ki. They were later introduced in Japan as Tohoshinki under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone in 2005. Their name roughly translates as "Rising Gods of the East".

Manila Bulletin online | TVXQ to release 'Mirotic Live' in RP

By: Jonathan M. Hicap
December 13, 2009, 5:51pm

Filipino fans of K-pop boy band TVXQ (aka DBSK or Dong Bang Shin Ki) are excited about the local release of the group’s The 3rd Asia Tour Concert “Mirotic” Live 2-CD album under Universal Record Philippines.

Spearheading the campaign for fans to buy the album is Cassiopeia Philippines, TVXQ’s fan club in the country.

The release of the album on Dec. 15 is more meaningful for the fans as they will also celebrate on that day the 23rd birthday of TVXQ member Xiah Junsu.

CassPH is planning to celebrate the Nationwide Dong Bang Day on Dec. 15 for the two events.

Fans are encouraged to buy the album and CassPH are planning to send their photos with the album and birthday banners to Junsu through AVEX, a record company which manages TVXQ’s activities and records in Japan.

Fans have been calling record stores Odyssey, Music One, Astroplus, Astrovision, O Music Video and the Landmark to reserve the album.

CassPH is also encouraging fans to text to MYX to make “Mirotic” number one on the music channel.

Universal Records said fans who’ll buy the album will also get free TVXQ posters.

TVXQ is a five-member pop group composed of Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin. The group debuted in 2003 and has a huge following in Korea, Japan and in other Asian countries.

The boy band is the first foreign male group to debut at number one on Japan’s Oricon charts in 2008 with their Japanese single “Purple Line.”

TVXQ has the largest fan club in Korea called Cassiopeia with about 800,000 members.
