4.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 approxmiately 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.
