Everybody still loves DBSK.

Of course Dong Bang Shin Ki’s legion of fans worship the five idols, but apparently, a lot of other people in the industry think highly of the band as well. Take a gander:
YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Sok: Ah! They’re the only singers I admire. TVXQ is really awesome. On the live stage, they do very well. If they weren’t good looking, they would probably be the male version of Big Mama. Some of our country’s bias towards TVXQ is wrong.
SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man: It’s really a waste~ The kids who could’ve gone onto their solo careers became a group in the end.
Kim Gun Mo: If only I was a TVXQ member! They’re a group that’s hard to believe, with talent that’s shocking.
Tony An of H.O.T.: After they get onstage, they can bring together all of the audience’s focus. This is the kind of thing we need to bring energy to the music world. From this kind of view, there should be many groups like TVXQ appearing now. It’s not talking about coming out with many groups. More like, there should be more groups with such power to influence. Being able to receive the general audience’s support can also become a good foundation for the entertainment industry.
Kangta of H.O.T.: Although they’re already top stars, their personality is still very good. Compared to when I was younger, they’re really very kind.
Kim Dong Wan of Shinhwa: There are many groups coming out these days, and a lot of them look really good. TVXQ stands out among these groups.
Park Joon Hyung: There were a lot of groups in the music industry during that time that disbanded because there were conflicts between members. Today I walked in and saw TVXQ, and knew that nothing like that would happen.
Rain/Bi: I’m very envious of TVXQ, who is able to have those teen fans anticipating them. After the performances, those teen fans will chase after their cars,and wait for them outside the office buildings. But with my fans, after performances, they say “You’ve worked hard~” I’ve also been asked, “How come you don’t have teen fans?”
G-Dragon of Big Bang: Because we’re in different genres, I’ve never seen them as a competitor. TVXQ is our respected sunbae. Their vocal skills are strong, and we’ve studied much of their performances and choreography. I’ve watched them stay determined to push themselves forward. They really are the perfect sunbaes.
Taeyang of Big Bang: TVXQ has always chased after different music styles, and their members all have very strong talents. Seeing TVXQ’s music and stage makes me feel touched, and they’re a very good influence on us. We’ve also started promoting in Japan, and compared to TVXQ sunbaes, we still have to secure a place. We all like TVXQ very much. We hope this time we’ll use the chance to become more intimate with the members.
FT Island: TVXQ sunbaes are very modest. Although they’ve already become Asia’s top idol group, we respect the humbleness they display at all times.
Jonghyun of SHINee: Out of all our sunbaes, TVXQ doesn’t hold back, they’ve done very well. Especially to TVXQ’s Micky Yoochun, I’m very thankful. The first time we went onstage, he came in person to bring food over to support us, I was really thankful that time.
