TVXQ, an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi, is a South Korean pop group formed under SM Entertainment in 2003. In South Korea they are known as Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK); they were later introduced in Japan as Tohoshinki  in 2005. Their name translates as "The Rising Gods of the East".

The group was formed by 5 members:Hero (Kim JaeJoong), U-Know (Jung Yoon Ho),Micky (Park Yoochun), Xiah (Kim Junsu) y Max (Shim Changmin).

Because of legal issues,as on July 31, 2009 three members stated that the 13-year contract was excessively long and that the group's earnings were not fairly distributed to the members, their contracts with SM Entertainment were ended, these three members of TVXQ (Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu)debuted in Japan in 2010 as JYJ, and later with a global debut in October with the English language album The Beginning. 
 U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who are still under SM Entertainment's contract, continued their music career under the band name of TVXQ starting with new album, Keep Your Head Down, release in South Korea in early January 2011.

In response to that lawsuit, 120,000 TVXQ fans filed a petition against SM Entertainment’s long-term contracts to the Seoul District Court and also, TVXQ's Korean fanclub Cassiopeia,  filed for compensation from SM Entertainment for the cancelled SM Town Live Concert, as both SM and TVXQ initially stated that the concert would go on as planned and that concert was cancelled a week before its scheduled date.



In 2008, TVXQ made it in the Guinness World Records for having the world's largest official fan club. Cassiopeia, the band's official fan club, is claimed of having more than 800,000 official members just in South Korea , more than 200, 000 official memeber in Japan (Bigeast)and more than 200, 000 international fans (icassies).

They also made the Guinness World Records a second time in 2009. Aside from the world's largest fan club, the group was also listed in the world record book as the most photographed celebrities in the world. From the day of their debut to March 19, 2005, the five members are estimated to have been photographed about 500 million times in magazines, albums jackets, and commercials, etc.
