According to translated reports, TVXQ's Yoochun will star as the grandson of a powerful noble family during Korea's Joseon (Choseon) era. The drama, tentatively titled "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" will involve Lee Son Jun (Yoochun's character) being troubled by his growing love for who he thinks is another guy.

The twist is that the "guy" is really a women who has dressed herself as a man to replace her sickly brother at the Sungkyunkwan Confucian Institute.  Ya!

While the vast majority of TVXQ (Tohoshinki / DBSK) fans are greatly concerned about the group's current situation, there are a few who have taken it upon themselves to spazz in an unwarranted way. Some have even threatened to delete their TVXQ-related youtube accounts or stop using the phrase 'Always Keep the Faith'.

Don't let this post fool you into thinking that there is a fan problem. There's no problem with fan support, as far as what I've seen. But there are things I have to say about that type fair-weather attitude in general.

The phrase 'fair-weather fans' have plagued individual artists and groups since the first boyband in history was ensnared in a situation beyond its control.The first time a crisis happens is not the time to give up on the very people you claimed to have admired for so long.

The problem with such overly dramatic actions is that they change absolutely nothing. What's worse is that it shows just how fickle and shallow an incredibly tiny percentage of certain fan support may be.

Okay. I literally burst out laughing when the rumor / news about the rocker-in-disguise Jaejoong (Jejung) possibly posing for AnAn magazine. I had to look up what AnAn magazine was to get a sense if what being in the magazine means in Japan. I had no idea until people on another forum started to talk about AnAn's content.

After looking at some of a raunchier AnAn pictures of other stars, I immediately remembered a kind of naughty dream I had about Jaejoong (and Junsu) months ago.

I keep a special noteboook by the bed and I normally write my dreams down the minute I get up if I'm not too groggy. This dream was dated Friday November 27, 2009 7:50am (this being the morning after the night of the dream).

It's been 6 years since Dong Bang Shin Ki (TVXQ / Tohoshinki) officially debuted as a group of 5 humble, soft-spoken, fresh-faced young kids at the end of Dec in 2003.

My attention was attracted towards TVXQ much later than probably most of you reading this. Some of you remember when these sexy young men were still innocent young kids.

The hot, sexy Yunho still had a baby-face with an adorable snaggle-toothed smile that made you want to pinch his cheeks.  His difficult life helped to make him a strong-willed, confident performer who won't lose to anybody in a dance battle.

Jaejoong was a deep young kid who -- as legend tells it -- taught himself how to sing. He says he was tone deaf, but by the time he auditioned to be a trainee, he was already on the road to opening up a diversity of musical styles he loves to sing now. He was so striking in appearance that even grown music executives were taken aback. Not to mention all the rest of us!

The multi-talented Junsu has been training since he was 12. His voice made almost everybody jealous; a voice which only became more alluring with his characteristic sexy raspiness. Even during his debut, the dichotomy between the exceedingly cute off-stage Junsu and the explosive on-stage Junsu could clearly be seen.
