TVXQ is Plastic Fantastic
45 Commentsjohnnydorama in News | 24 Mar 2008 - 04:37 PM

Top boy band TVXQ aka Tohoshinki, has graced the front of Mastercards - they are now literally plastified.
Registrations for this commemorative credit card started March 19th at their Yokohama Arena concert, I can only assume we will have thousands of teenagers with credit card debt very soon.
Die hard fans can now show their pride and embarrass themselves on every purchase they make, thanks to their plastic friends, TVXQ. To further capitalize on teenagers, Mastercard can even extend this commemorative credit card to Big Bang and offer special discounts at gay sex shops - what a great idea, I think I deserve a percentage of the profits.

Please don’t make misleading titles.
I thought another one of my KPOP source sites is framing my favorite boy band for Plastic Surgery.
Nearly had a heart attack.

If I see a guy use that credit card I’m going to punch him in the face on the spot.

DBSK poster ... $5
DBSK printed t-shirt ... $15
DBSK album ... $20
DBSK concert DVD ... $40
The chance to shamelessly show off your obsessive fangirl side to the public ... priceless
The chance that DBSK members would know or even care about it ... hopeless

I want one of these badly. I’m not ashamed of my fangirlness. They have more than that one design posted up. There’s like 4 designs.

they always seem to put Hero in the center…if i didn’t know any better, i would assume he is the leader..i guess it’s because he has the most unique look..

@yeli - It’s like Kangta from H.O.T. or Seo Taiji from the Taiji Boys, they got the most attention.

@yeli - thats because of their voice arrangement when doing acapella.
and LOL XD hahaha yeah actually yo have to make at least 50K a year. So only Obasans and ajummas can afford it == (or unles you are a filthy rich teenager >.>)
there are 8 designs actually and like if you collect all eight you get this special frame with a surprise :D

The credit card is only applicable to those who earn $50k year. Obviously, that would rule out most, if not all, teenagers.
the oricon news stated that from a survey taken early in 2007, most of DBSK’s fans in japan were ahjummas. of course, the percentage has changed since then, but it’s reasonable why the credit card is only applicable to the older audience.
lol @ yumi’s comment.
yeli, they always put hero in the center due to the position they singin. Yoochun and Yuhno are usually the ones who sing with a low range. Junsu is in the middle range. Changmin is in the highest range. Thus, they are positioned in a way where they can all hear each other. It’s not about popularity and or what some like to believe “because jae joong is the shortest” lol

That’s correct. Hero is in the middle because his voice acts as the ‘sponge’ or ‘glue’ when they sing a capella. Junsu and Hero are both the shortest members at 178 cm. Changmin is the tallest at 188 cm. (Source: Pinky Magazine)

AEON… i konw right ! if u put Jae on the sides or anywhere else it would seem imbalanced,u could immediately see the gap of their heights, when he’s in the middle it seems like their all of the same height..thats another reason besides their vocal arrangement.
Im getting my mastercard next week… ; p

@De La Methode, KangTa wasn’t mostly in the middle, it was Woo Hyuk. Actually either one of them were randomly in the middle.
As for this card thing, lmao you wouldn’t catch me with one of those.

Butter - How do you expect to fit Super Junior on a card? Hell, just putting Shindong alone would be a challenge.

You have to earn 50k to get this card.

@InYourHeart - Most of the Posters, Pictures, Performances that I’ve seen of H.O.T. featured Kangta in the middle.

@Yumi that was so hilarious
@yeli…it was because of their a capella voices…to balance it evenly….since Jae is the main vocal he’s in the middle…yeah…I thought he was the leader at first too….
ah…I thought johhny gave me my most awaiting article…I was going to be mad when I read the title, but then I saw the pic….not yet…though I really want that card…I can’t possibly get it…wah….why am I not in Japan?! wash….ahehe…

I laughed at mk23’s comment.
I don’t think they can even put the whole of Super Junior on an album cover.
I like Super Junior, though so don’t go bashing me about it.
However, I doubt anyone would be able to use these.
I mean, having a boy band on your credit card?
Imagine this in 5-10 years.
DBSK will be the new Backstreet Boys.
No one will love them.
