Super Junior and TVXQ together in one movie?

It would be called “Attack of the 18 Pin-Up Boys.”
Rumor has it that SM Entertainment’s big guns may be collaborating on a movie together. The film will allow all thirteen members of Super Junior to showcase what little acting ability they can muster, just like in the amusing self-indulgent 2007 film, “Attack of the Pin-Up Boys.” This sounds like something Kim Ki-bum would actually take the time out of his “busy” schedule to join the group to do.
Although everything is in the “top secret” phase, it is said that this would also feature Dong-Bang-Shin-Ki as “guest stars” in this film about life in the city. With eighteen big stars, a plausible format could be that SM give each member a five minute vignettes that all somehow interconnects with one another and that would make an hour and a half movie.
It is safe to say that if this thing were to happen at all, this wouldn’t hit the screen until at least the 2011. Then the world can end in 2012, and your life would be complete after seeing this movie.

TVXQ “Stand By U”

They may belong in Korea, but they make better music in Japan.
Dong-bang-shin-ki or Tohoshinki in Japanese are doing their thang as always in the land of the rising sun, cranking out single after single that keeps hitting Oricon chart gold. Their most recent and 28th Japanese single, “Stand By U,” is a soft ballad about a relationship that may have ended, but the feelings of love have remained unchanged. “Stand By U” follows the trend set by their previous single “Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou” with a drama music video and a MV exclusively featuring the members of TVXQ.
Originally, I wasn’t going to bother with this, despite all the Cassiopeians out there, but once I saw their live performance of “Stand By U” on NHK Eco Song special, I was honestly pretty blown away. This really makes me feel that the raw talent of TVXQ is extremely underutilized by the mainstream Korean music scene who don’t really care for acappella singers and soothing ballads. I don’t mind keeping them in Japan if Rhythm Zone keeps making songs like “Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni natte Shimattandarou” and “Stand By U” for TVXQ.

BoA & TVXQ on the roster for AVEX A-Nation 2009 Tour

The Japanese do love them.
Since 2001, Avex Group, one of the biggest entertainment companies in Japan, holds an annual summer concert tour called “A-Nation” that features performances from some of their most popular artists. Throughout the month of August, various artists will perform in various locations, some of this year’s acts include TRF, Ayumi Hamasaki, hitomi, GIRL NEXT DOOR, and many more. Korea’s two Japanese favorites, BoA and Tohoshinki (TVXQ), have also been confirmed as acts for A-Nation 2009.
BoA is taking some time from her American dream to perform in Japan, the land where she really soared into stardom. TVXQ always seems to be in Japan, as their activities are more frequent there than in their homeland. Don’t blame SM Entertainment for shipping their hottest acts to Japan though because their market is much bigger and more influential than the music scene in Korea. It also leaves Korean fans hanging, meaning their comebacks always have a lot of hype surrounding them.
