hmm.
I dont really want DBSK to debut in the US.
Because its more fun to watch them play around in Korea, they cant really express themselves well in Japanese because they still are not fully fluent. So they dont play around as much as they do in Korea.
But I’m excited to watch them on my TV =P

Props to Lee Soo Man for recognizing that his talents are nowhere near ready to debut in America.  Maybe he can give JYP a much-needed smack upside the head.

As much as I would love to have DBSK in America, the U.S. has been over the boy band phenomenon for at least 7 or 8 years now.  I don’t think their talent would matter much - if they wear their usual outfits, people will just laugh them off.  If BoA can get her English to a near-fluent level, though, she might have a shot.

I don’t want DBSK to debut in US XDDD…
I love their music but I like it better if they stay in Japan or Korea .. Or just go back to Korea because they are more ‘them’ there :D.
And I totally agree with Serpantine..

xoxLIZZI3xox ???? Girs Generation?? OMFG XDD NOOO…
DBSK is a big and I mean a really big step ahead of them..

And yeah I think people are gonna make fun of them 2 :x…
example LOOK at their tour outfits , but maybe if they work really hard or something well yeah I don’t :S..

LSM knows what he is doing.

Plus, Micky said he never wanted to come back to America for what happened in the past. Yeah, they’re coming for one day, but to stay here? No.

they will all fail imo (se7en, rain, boa, dbsk, wondergirls), but out of all of them i think se7en has the best chance. the boy band craze ended in america long ago so dbsk will definately not make it. IF someone were actually suceed in the us market i would have to think brian joo of ftts because of his english, but even he won’t sell tons of records.

america is the dumbest decision...everyone knows the next economic superpower is china…

they need to strengthen their presence in china (and, of course, japan) where there are fewer cultural differences (compared to the us) and they already have fan support...in addition, there are fewer logistical problems (ex. travel time and time differences)…

they should master those neighboring markets as well as the other asian markets before going to the us...i think that would be the more successful and profitable strategy...it makes me wonder if they really did their market research on the us for asian music...i’d like to see the swot analysis they performed (assuming they did one)…

No, I’m not ready.. So keep them fuckers in Asia.

i didn’t know lsm even had plans to debut tvxq in america. i thought his plans for them was to take over asia.. one country at a time.

but anyway, it’s good to see at least one company making smart decisions. :x

ohhh well yes i think the same way as him
america its not ready for TVXQ
even thought i whant them here
its not posible

NOOOOOOOOOOO. dbsg is like nsync. people will frkcn laugh & make fun of them like crazy. T_T. its going to be so embarassing espeically sine they cannot speak english! stop!!

DBSK in America?! DO NOT WANT. It’s like what missy said. Ugh. And if I see DBSK pulling an Akanishi Jin and acting all hardcore/gangsta later in their home country or Japan… [dies]

I never heard of plans to debut TVXQ in America.  I only heard of Boa being the one who was supposed to cross over.  I rather have TVXQ be in Asia only because that’s their territory and they are loved very much there.  And I would highly dislike it if they changed their image to fit in with mainstream America,much like what happened to Min and Seven.  Blah, just try to be yourself.

i think dbsk has a better chance debuting in Europe, imo. why does everybody wanna debut in America? i live here, it’s not that great, lol.

I agree with almost all these comments here, if there was a market they should try to conquer, China would be it right now.  Plus the language is more similar to Japanese/Korean, and they already have hardcore fans there, so it wouldn’t be as embarrassing as if they were to come to the US.  I think the boy/girl pop band concept is beyond dead and buried.  There’s someone standing with a shovel over its grave ready to knock it back in if it tries to come back to life.  If there isn’t I’m willing to take the post.

OH MY GOSH, i can not belive that DBSk would debut here, i would literally have a heart attack!!! oh my gosh!!!!

as much as i love the boys...stay in asia.

america doesn’t want you and you dont want america...trust me on this.

i mean there’s hundreds of fans here who would love to see them...but thats why we have hollywood bowl. no need to ruin careers over a country who’s majority wont give a damn anyway.  -__-

Teehee~ they could expand themselves to Europe X3~
I’d welcome the Dong Bang boys here, anytime!!

But if they want to consolidate their fame in Asia, I’d totally go for China. Not only it is the biggest market out there but.. I’ll be going to China for a full year in the 3rd year of University, as the placement year, so...yeah =P

@veropetho lol yeah I forgot to mention that too. especially Hero. It’s not really “cool” in America to look like that, unfortunately o_O;; they really gonna just think they roll on the other side ~_~

@veropetho.
so true. it’s really sad though but true

i think it would be okay for boa do debut in the US but TVXQ? i dont think so. .lol their english isnt that great…

US=World.  Everyone knows America is a insensitive place and the era of milk and cook is ancient history but really they don’t have to enter the US market.  They can just tour as a foreign band here.  I’ll be more than glad to see them tour over here but if not I don’t mind flying over there to see them.

@hiroshi- yeah, that’s true. Its better for them to just tour.

LSM is thinking! Yay!

...NOOOOOO! As much as I like them, DBSK will DIE in AMerica. Boa needs to fix her english, same with DBSK (more so) if they want to debut here in the US.

They’ll fail, mainly because they’d have to change their style. And half the time, its just a rip off American music. If you have nothing new to give, you won’t make it. Plus, DBSK has the feminine look, except for maybe Changmin and Yunho. Basically they’ll be ridiculed.

SNSD would FAIL here, unless the went to Disney Channel… Even there, they might fail. My friend likes Disney things and when she say SNSD she went “they piss me off”. So yeah. They’ll fail. Unless there are a lot of guys here with an Asian fetish.

This should have been posted on April fool

Gotta correct some things here:

1. ‘America is not ready for a boy band’.  FALSE.  We wouldn’t care for a boy band because we’ve had boy band-mania ALREADY.  Been there, done that.

2.  ‘Make America beg for it’.  Beg...for what, pray tell?  A boy band?  Please.  We didn’t even beg for the Beatles!  They came over here, played there music and the teen girls went wild and that was all she wrote!  It’ll be a cold day in hell before the US market ‘begs’ for a DBSK/TVXQ. 

Nice wishful thinking, though, but next time, stay in the zone called reality.

LMBO!

I also think that SNSD has a greater chance of making it in the US than either DBSK or Boa. They do have 2 members who can speak fluent english.
