My Love Affair with DBSK

I. LOVE. DBSK. This goes way beyond my childhood obssessions with the Backstreet Boys (but not Nsync, I really didn't like them), DBSK is simply awesomely amazingly spectacular.

The story goes kind of like this. [it's long, sorry, but DBSK is too great! it's very interesting and readable, I promise!]

- initial exposure -

About three years ago, Amanda showed me the video for Hug. I remember thinking, Ew wtf is this, with all the stupid white clothing, and icky Yoochun cam-whoring and checking out his face and shaving and random crap like that.

And I didn't really get a kick out of Jaejoong in that video, I just remember thinking, Holy crap that man is sooo pretty, like Zhao Wei but even prettier. Not necessarily in a good way. I didn't find him ugly per se, as I will maintain still that I have never ever found Jaejoong ugly [questionable hair and clothing choices? absolutely! ugly? NEVERRRRR]. But...definitely didn't do much for me.

Then...about a year ago I was on a forum, and I came across a post by this Korean American girl, "This guy may be femme but I'd hit it!" Who else but Jaejoong. It was, again, not a good pic of him, so I didn't get freaked out or anything, but I was vaguely reminded of the other super femme prettyboy Amanda had shown me earlier. With a little bit of investigation, I realized it was the same guy. Then that was that, I didn't further pursue it.

Also, Laura would mention DBSK in passing every so often. So it's not like DBSK ever fully dropped from my mind.

- seeds of obssession -

The real climactic moment was in November, or was it December - at Alice's sleepover. Laura showed us the video for Tri-Angle....and the rest is history. You all know the story.

But shinki knows that I have to blab about it anyway.

So basically, I saw Jaejoong so differently. Although the wardrobe and hair in this video were exceedingly questionable, and uber Asian not in a good way, I was very very intrigued. Jaejoong looked .... SO HOT. I was totally gone from that moment on. His gorgeousness was...overwhelming.

And that voice! I remember feeling so upset that they frickin gave so many parts to all these other uglies. I mean, I heart Junsu now , but let's face it - he did NOT look good in that video. Changmin was...ok. I'll get to that. And I've never been a Yoochun or Yunho fan, so I only succeeded in being exceedingly entertained by Yunho's feather eye [although, I couldn't distinguish b/w Yunho and Yoochun yet at that time lol].

So...for the weeks afterward, I was *obssessed* with Tri-Angle, just watching it over and over. Over time, I started to finally be able to tell Yunho and Yoochun apart! And notice the other members. I remember first finding Changmin attractive (but paling in comparison to Jaejoong), and also noting Junsu wasn't *too* bad.

And thus began my DBSK obssession.

- jaesu love -

I was full on obssessed with Jaejoong, and if I was hard pressed to pick a #2 I liked Changmin. So at that time I was a Jaemin shipper, if I had to ship [I was at first extremely horrified by the idea of coupling until I figured out they weren't really gay lol. I really hated Jaeho at the time, but they've grown on me].

Then I started to watch other videos. And....the second chapter of my obssession begins.

I discovered the AWESOMENESS of junsu. His hair thoroughly unimpressed me in Tri-Angle, but seeing him after he cut it short...gasp! SO GOOD LOOKING. And he was just way too fricking adorable. That infectious laugh. That amazingly easygoing personality [he takes so much abuse!]. That impossible cuteness. That adorable squeaky voice!!!!

Junsu is one of those rare people who can look SOOO adorable or SOOO HOT with just a change of expression. I heart both looks equally, Junsu can rock either. And he was my second favorite singing voice too.

Around this time, I started paying more attention to Junsu than Jaejoong. When they were together, and Junsu looked good [unlike Jaejoong, he can't pull off everything, unfortunately], I definitely noticed him more. Yes, I can't believe it either but it's true.

I just had to start shipping Jaesu, they were SOO cute together. To this day I am not sure if what I've read is true, that in reality Jaejoong doesn't like Junsu too much, but I sure hope not. Expect a Jaesu pic post in the future. EXTENSIVE. I have maybe 200 pictures from a delightful Asianfanatics thread. I'll see how many I'll use.

This period is when I went youtube crazy, as well as music downloading crazy. I'd ballpark between January and March.

- and now... -

I finally stopped cheating on my husband, and am now back to Jaejoong 24/7 100% :) I got more into Changmin again, although Junsu is still my [distant] #2. Especially Rising Sun. Changmin is a GOD in Rising Sun. That's a lot for me to say, considering Jaejoong is pure hotness in that video. Also Purple Line. holy crap, I missed hot Changmin. He's back though, thank shinki

Also...I've come to appreciate Yunho more, especially O Jung Ban Hap and later, b/c he finally grew out his hair a bit and got his teeth fixed, and that is VERY GOOD. The spiky shorter hair circa Rising Sun and earlier...no, sorry.

And Yoochun is growing on me as well, especially when he has nice short hair. I also rather like his voice, possibly more than Changmin's [except in Rising Sun! again - changmin in RS = GODDD] - making him my #3 voice in DBSK.

Basically, I have really come to love DBSK as a group more and more. They are fabulous, really. It's so hard to put their awesomeness in words. They are just...great. They better not fricking go into military service anytime soon.

[Sorry for the novel! If you made it through, comments please????? :D]

PS: I am going to edit this post with more links to videos and pictures. Just give me a couple days.
