I don't want to bring this into discussion, just wanted to say, thrusting their hips is not an amazing talent, in my eyes.
I understand that it is definitely up to a dance choreographer to include it to the steps. But, wells.. Let me not go too much into details.
I prefer them to show a very complex and jaw dropping dance performances rather than the moves that make a half of the audience droll, and half of them.. wells..whatever..
I hope Avex won't bring it DOWN to the ero ero dance level. If it ever happens, I don't know, I would probably end up buying only their concert CDs, not DVDs just NOT to see it. (that would have been a disaster, I can't even say enough how much I love their LIVE concert perfs). I know it is a bad habit to mind too much this kind of thing. anyways. I just hope, our Boys will stay as they are. They have enough talent to sell their music by just standing at the empty stage even without microphone wearing just T shirt and jeans.
Do I sound so so traditional? Probably I am.
EDIT: v Oh yeah! She probably meant with the way you said. But, I am really not liking this too many praises about thrusting
i think i'm not a very 'dance' person, the reason why i like the dongbang boys is because of their wonderful voices, especially their acappella. but it IS a fact that the boys do dance very well, and all this hip-thrusting thing is just built on their level of dancing. and also since the boys are labelled as "idols", they should dance and so forth, or it might be counted as a form of fan-service? but i would really like it if they come out with this full acappella album...

I think this might due to our differing culture, but i came frm a culture where that'd be considered as wrong too, but we mustn't say that to others cuz theirs might be different. Its what we call Ethnocentrism = Within this ideology, individuals will judge other groups in relation to their own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behaviour, customs, and religion.
i agree to this, its mainly about the customs that different countries in the world have. people in asia are more...conservative? i guess its the way people are brought up and exposed to the different things. i wouldnt think its atrocious to hip-thrust and all that even i'm asian, but i just prefer the boys singing

Question
Bought my "T" (2dvd+2cd ver.) from HMV Singapore and it comes with 5 photocards, which I didn't expected! So totally happy right now.
Would like to ask Singaporean fans here, do all the TVXQ first press release singles/ albums sold in Singapore come with 5 different photocards? Is it true that their cds and dvds are cheaper in Singapore than in Malaysia?
yepp the first press release of the T album in singapore has all 5 cards of the boys. and the singles sold in singapore is usually first press, and has the first press goodies -- 1 card at random, and off-shot movie (for DVD)
i'm not sure whether the DVDs and CDs in singapore is cheaper than malaysia. i went to malaysia CD-rama once, and i saw sky single selling at RM60 ++, but in singapore, a single usually costs about $15 ++ (CD+DVD) which is about RM 35. i guess there is a difference in prices but i'm not sure.

anyway thanks everyone for the videos and the pictures of the boys! i'm trying really hard to update myself on the boys despite all the schoolwork i've got.

sorry i cant credit everyone for contributing the videos and pictures. but thanks a lot!!
