There’s no need to compare DBSK and HOT. They are both big artists in their own respective times. H.O.T influenced thousands and thousands of fans as did DBSK.

One of the things i took notice of when Kangta was praising DBSK (i read other articles since there were more than one instance where he mentioned DBSK) was the fact that though DBSK is popular, their vocals/talents are underestimated during to their label in Korea as an “idol band” I have to agree with Kangta on this one.

Anyway, like i said before, comparisons are not necessary, especially when they will most likely fuel disputes that neither side will win. H.O.T and DBSK are major contributors to the music industry. Whether one likes or does not like DBSK or HOT, one has to admit that they were exceptionally well-known in their respective times.

all this bitch has to worry about is his upcoming military service

“mr drill sargeant, my name is not ahn, its kang-ta, kang ta, okay.“

“listen here, you sissy gomer pile gook, your last name is ahn”

“also you little fag, you have to take your clothes off when you shower like the rest of the soldiers”

“ooh my, lee soo man told me about this”

I agree with glasspearl. There really isn’t a need for comparisons, since H.O.T fans will vote for theirs and DBSK fans will do the same. One music video won’t sum up their talents into one neat package.

But I do agree with you, H.O.T really did revolutionize the music industry when it came to boybands. They paved the way and without, there wouldn’t a DBSK, big bang, SS501, etc.

But i also think that DBSK paved the way for boybands outside of korea. Of course, BoA paved the way for foreign artists. But talking specifically about boybands, DBSK paved the way for them, making them more widely accepted by the populace.

They both made their mark on the music industry. That, no one can deny, even if they hate any of these two groups. To say that only one contributed or the other is better is purely bias. Most people only say that because they are fans and 1) they don’t want their favorite artist to lose and 2) they just hate the other group and have the guts to judge that group without ever listening to them in the first place.

I also agree with glasspearl on another thing. DBSK’s talents are severely underestimated because they are considered an idol group in Korea.

I have to say this though. In terms of dancing, Jang Woo Hyuk is amazing. Along with Hee Jun’s dancing. Yuhno/Junsu fans may get me for this, but mind you that I am a DBSK fan, as well. They’re all good dancers, actually.

Vocal-wise, I’ll agree with Kangta. DBSK did start out as an a cappella group, after all.

Overall, they both still impacted the way a lot of fans and audiences.

There’s no need to compare…I think both of them are the best of their times…DBSK looks up to H.O.T. like nobody else in their sunbaes…
I’m more of a DBSK fan than a H.O.T. fan, I cannot even call myself a fan of theirs but I won’t vote either…I think it’s just simply ridiculous to ask who’s better….H.O.T. is a legend, but now DBSK is a living legend…Let’s live it at that…They’re in the different time, different perceptions of things…
and yeah…Kang Ta also said that bands like DBSK and Big Bang are being look down upon on because they’re “idol” bands…I don’t consider DBSK an “idol” group, ever since I became their fan and heard their a capella…as for Big Bang, i don’t know…I never listen to any of their songs…I just consider them as a Hip Hop group…not an “idol” group…not just because they’re a group with a bunch of boys, they’re an “idol” group…. they have talents that I think other people should recognize…

and DBSK has better vocals than H.O.T….but to dancing…I’m sorry to DBSK fans (I’m one myself), but I don’t like Junsu/Yunho’s dancing…I just think…it’s so….I don’t know…I just don’t like it…but I’m their fan…they have amazing vocals and harmonization…

Where’s the option for both suck?

<——Apparently. But anyhoo there isn’t a need for comparison since they were both leading groups but in different times. As the times change, music styles change as well.

think about it.

both different time zones
different fans/more or less people.

well duh…of course he wants more money…and thats of course why he said it

So you can’t compare people from two seperate time periods? Kangta himself did the comparison. It’s like saying you can’t compare Julius Erving to Michael Jordan or Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant. To say you can’t is silly.

I think it’s a little hard to compare them because they are from different eras, basically. HOT looks RIDICULOUS in that video, but maybe it was cool when it came out. Who knows. The Purple Line video is not my fav. DBSK video, but the song is so catchy haha. I love DBSK, but since I don’t listen to HOT, I can’t compare them.

KangTa is on crack…H.O.T. was better then DBSK. but im biased anyway. =]

dong bang shin ki is like smelling shit.

oops.

I’ll say this maybe vocally DBSK is better since they are an acapella group, but overall talent, i think H.O.T wins there, i don’t care if DBSK fans jump me, but DBSK has not reached legend status yet, so don’t even start. I hate this damn H.O.T vs DBSK shit, but hey what can you gonna do about it.

As for KangTa he really needs to think before speaking, some of his fans don’t like this comment at all.

ON OTHER NOTES, HEE JUN’S ALBUM REACHED #1 ON THE CHARTS, with Gummy in second place and KangTa in third….YAY!

man, this makes me mad, i am a huge fan of both of them, I was a big fan of H.O.T. This makes no sense at all, I don’t know what was wrong with kangta, H.O.T was great back then and DBSK is great now, there’s now reason to say who is better then who, it’s just pointless, they were both popular and still will be forever! They all produce great music and perform great, no reason to judge them saying who is better than who! +_+

I don’t think one group is any better than the other. They both have their equal share of positive and negative points.
Anyway, both groups are awesome and provide us with good music, so that’s enough for me.

HOT is a legend.. DBSK is not a legend.. HOT is the greatest.

If we’re talking bout old groups, then Shinhwa & G.O.D > H.O.T

hehehe don’t kill me

DBSK all the way!

is true
are different timeline
both are great!

I remember that I knew HOT
thanks a Korean program with Backstreet Boys and HOT
xD

I can’t compare
Is like compare any pop artist with Michael Jackson

I have all the discography of HOT
and I have to say that It´s true that DBSK has better vocals
bot Both are GREAT

lol sounds like somebody made kangta say this

Well he is a shareholder?? in SM, the more popular DBSK gets, the more money he gets. LOL

Im just a regular obsessed dbsk fangirl=P

Ive seen h.o.t and i think overall, DBSK has more talent and looks..hehe.. or maybe it was just the era wherein boybands look uhmm., i dun0w..DBSK is just more stylish, has greater vocals (everyone of them can sing..)..but theres no point in comparing since the two look up to each other,,Comparing Shinhwa and H.O.T may be more logical since they came from the same time.Compare DBSk to nobody since their rivals are not born yet..n0 boyband is as multitalented and gifted as a group and individually as these boys are..u have to admit.whether u hate them or not.

another thing..if Kangta himself thinks DBSk is better, then who are we to say they arent? gotta love these legends… DBSK is like HOT’s prodigies..they are the next or even the better HOT..

HOT= legends
DBSK= living legends

HEROine, that’s where you’re wrong, i listen to DBSG solo work, and it’s not pretty, their good as a group but as solo’s….no way.
I like MHJ, and i like H.O.T, but i’m not obsessed and blind. DBSG have better vocals, but in overall talent i think H.O.T is first. I don’t care if you’re a DBSG mega fan or not or if you’re a mega H.O.T fan, that’s the fact. No one is as multitalented as DGSG? that’s where you see how over rated they are. In H.O.T you can see, songwriters, composers, choreographers, bussinesmen etc. I really hate this H.O.T vs DBSG thing, but i hate it even more when DBSG fans, start praising and inventing things to praise them about. And don’t say i hate DBSG, cause i don’t care about them enough to hate them, i don’t like or dislike them.

As for KangTa, don’t even bring him up in this disscusion.

No offense, inyourheart, but since you listed what you hate about dbsg fans, I’ll state my grievances, as well. I think it is completely irritating when people categorized a lot of dbsg fans as blind when honestly, most fans acknowledge that dbsg has room for improvement and that they are not perfect. Most fans know perfectly well that every artist has flaws. While one may think that DBSG is overrated as a group, which I will admit I understand why people may think that way due to their fanbase, it is this exact reason why their talents are underestimated. Because they are considered an “idol group” and some, not all, like to jump onto the bandwagon and call them overrated without even giving them a fair chance, their talents are not as well-recognized to many. I know you said yourself that you have listened to them, and for that, this statement does not target you as an individual. I am just stating in general.

They have composed some of their songs, by the way. Few obsessed fans invent things to praise them for. But what most fans will praise them for is their vocals and their humbleness. The issue over how talented they are is purely subjective.

I also don’t like this H.O.T vs DBSG, as I am a big fan of both of them. But as you can see, most people in here were respectful and reasonable with their answers and most have given credit where credit is due. Whether one hates them or likes them, it’s obvious that they impacted the music industry in one way or another. 

I don’t mean to start an argument, but I’m giving my two cents.

And when I meant “they impacted the music industry,“ and I meant both H.O.T and dbsg.

When i say fans, i think if you don’t give them false praise, then i don’t think you should feel offended, since the statement is not directed at you (not meaning you aeon, i’m just speaking in general)and i don’t mean my statement to come of as bashing them, since i’m not a anti DBSG, i just..don’t really care for them, i liked Hug and My Little Princess from them, but after that, i just feel they got stuck in the same whirlpool, i also know SM is mainly to blame for that. As for talent wise, i will agree with you, but fans should keep in mind that DBSG still have a lot of growing to do and saying that they are more talented than the veteran bands (ShinHwa included) is stupid.

Also keep in mind that these veteran bands didn’t have nearly as much training as DBSG or even SuJu, they had raw talent and only had litttle training in comparison, not meaning DBSG don’t have their own talents.

Example: How some fans say Yuhno is a better dancer than Jang Woo Hyuk and Minwoo.

InYourHeart, don’t you think you’re being unfair saying that they don’t do as good as their solo’s?! Jaejoong and Junsu are really good singers. Jaejoong is a really versatile singer, he can do from ballad to trot, even rock. Though, Junsu is not as versatile as Jaejoong, his unique voice steps him up when it comes to singing ballads. The other three may not be as good when it comes to vocals as the other two. However, I believe, that they are much better than other solo singers of today…

You said that H.O.T. had songwriters, composers, choreographers, businessmen, and etc…Aren’t you looking down upon DBSK? You aren’t recognizing that they too have their own songs written and compose…Then, I wonder what “Holding Back The Tears”, “Evergreen”, “Kiss Ashita Mama Sayonara”, “Rainy Night”, “Fox Rain” and a bunch of other songs that they themselves wrote and compose for. As for choreography, I don’t know if they choreograph it themselves, but I do know that Yunho taught them some of their moves…Businessmen?! Why? Are H.O.T. businessmen when they were working as a group? I think not. Eventhough you think some of DBSK fans overrate them, you underrate them…

Isn’t DBSK multitalented? I think, when it comes to singing, they are. I don’t think that’s overrating at all…and what HEROine was saying is that you can’t compare DBSK to any groups of today. Where can you actually find an “idol” group who can sing a capella, ballad, RnB, and some of their songs which I really can’t distinguish what genre it is? You may say I am overrating them, but I believe I am not…Aren’t those true? Then, if it isn’t, I don’t really know…

and like what aeon said both group impacted the music industry…They’re both the best of their times…If you want to argue with that, I won’t….

and Yunho is not better than Jang Woo Hyuk and Minwoo…I’m a DBSK fan because of their voices…not because of their dancing….I sometimes don’t even understand why some fans say that Yunho/Junsu is a really good dancer…I can’t seem to notice that…..

I completely understand the example and where you are coming from, as I have also stated before how JWH’s dance skills are incredible. I also agree with you on the fact that fans should be more open to other bands and note that they should not be bias. But like I said before, a lot of fans already acknowledge the the fact the every group will have its flaws and that every artist has room for improvement. Most fans, believe it or not, have no problem with stating what they dislike and what they think dbsg has room to improve on. I’ve seen it hundreds of times on that dbsg thread in soompi. And while some are just too stubborn to admit those flaws, a lot of dbsg fans accept other’s opinions and get on with life.

And about training…while I will admire artists who have raw talent (which doesn’t mean to say that dbsg doesn’t have raw talent) i also think that people should also respect those artists who worked and persevered for years to develop that talent.

I don’t think any one is wrong here, since it’s all just point of view and opinions. And while we may differ on some parts, i also agree with some of your points as well.

hi, HPDANM. lol i see you everywhere.

i agree with you a lot of the points you stated, but i actually think that junsu and yuhno are good dancers. They may not be as great of a dancer as Jang Woo Hyuk, but better than average. Jae Joong and Micky, and Yoochun on the other hand….while they can get the right dance steps and such, I think that dancing is not their field of specialty. lol They’ve improved, i’ll give them that. But like you, their singing and a cappella is what got me to recognize them. It’s not that i don’t care about their dancing or that I blindly let the issue of dancing be neglected. It’s just that to me, DBSG is originally an a cappella group and that is what i see them as.

ahaha…yeah…well, I think, if there’s a DBSK discussion going on, we will see each other…

Well, I don’t think they are bad…There are times that I think Junsu’s dancing is really good…and one time for Yunho, when he danced at New X-man…I think there’s too much flexibility in their dance move. lol…I mean, if they will keep it like Minwoo’s and JunJin…I might like it…ahaha…I think, even though Jae is my fav…He should just keep from singing…He’s dancing is not as top notch as his singing…Though, he improve a lot…There was one time when I thought Changmin’s dancing is really good, at their “Shine” MV when they did the solo parts…Other than that, those three should just keep on singing forever and ever…ahehe….and yeah, for me DBSK is an a capella group…no matter what other people say, even though it’s overrating for them…I think, DBSK has the best vocals especially when their voices are blended together…Their voices and personality just simply make you love and admire them…

HPDANM, you’re reading my comment and taking it the wrong way, i’m not saying that they aren’t songwriters and what not, i’m just pointing out that i don’t consider them more talented than the guys from H.O.T because they are more than just singers and rappers, not saying that DBSG only sings.

As for their solo’s it’s not as good as group work, that’s what i meant to the top, at the no way…i meant to put, no way the same, i can’t say it’s horrible, when it comes to their singing, i have never said they can’t sing, my problem is i don’t like JaeJoong or Junsu’s voice too much, it sounds kind of annoying on the solo (but that’s just what i think), but i like Yuhno’s.

The Bussiness comment was just an example, probably not the best, but it was just that. You say i underate DBSG, but i don’t, this : “n0 boyband is as multitalented and gifted as a group and individually as these boys are” was what i was answering talent wise, but i think HEROine was maybe talking about bands today and not H.O.T, if so, my bad.

About fans, once again, i’m not saying all fans are the SAME, if you’re not like this then do mind the comment.

LaLa: DBSG is a great group, but they have psycho fans, plus while i love them, i don’t consider the best boy band in Asia.

For those who don’t get it, i’m letting LaLa use my account to put in her two cents. Also i wish to leave this disscusion here, this is what i think about DBSG. MOST of their fans over rate them and i guess i can concede that some people underate them. While I just don’t care.

Hands down, H.O.T. is better at dancing but DBSK’s vocals are superior.

i don’t think they should compare,cuz DBSK loves H.O.T. and respects them.remember when junsu sported kangta’s hairstyle last time?
but well,i can’t deny it myself…..i love DBSK ^^“

YEAH DBSK!
THAT’S MY BOYZ♥
