Let's first, let’s analyze the factors that make DBSK the leading group in Japan, Korea and even the whole of Asia:

1. Perfect vocal

(Most songs that DBSK released in Japan were ballads. Ballads usually show the group vocals’ best. DBSK should not be questioned about their vocals, they can sing well even without any background music. (acapella) From a musician point of view, if DBSK didn’t have the looks, they are considered a group which will be known for their strength in singing. Outstanding looks normally makes one ignore how good their vocals are. But, those who have really good vocals would never be forgotten. DBSK’s fan club is considered one of the biggest in the whole world, this is because part of their fans are ‘music’ fan. (this case it means become their fans is because of the music they released.) If there are people who thinks that they are just an idol group, listen to their music, it is certain that you will become their next fan.)

2. Outstanding looks

( To satisfy fans’ vanity, to state it plainly, you will feel proud when you are comparing your idols with the rest. With that kind of looks, and an average height of 182.5cm, in terms of looks or height, it will definitely outshine others by one level. Between fans of different groups, they will normally be comparing each other’s idols. And the thing is, in any of the areas that you are going to compare, DBSK is going to win for sure. Eg, what your idol have, my idol have too but what your idol don’t have, my idol have.)

3. Teamwork and teamspirit

(Looking at the korean idol groups, a team with 5 members are the best for teamwork. Also because it’s a rare thing to see this kind of team spirit, so I will say, I can only use fate to describe this. Fate brought them together and they compromise well with each other. In addition to the hardship that they had when they just debuted in Japan, it deepens the friendship between the 5 of them. They supported and held on to each other in Japan, from an unknown group till now, a group where everyone knows and like.)

4. Good Personalities

(Those who have seen their off-stage personalities before will know that the 5 of them are very modest. This is also because of the hardship they encountered in Japan. To the five, 20 years old boys, at that time, they realised that no one is superior to the other, as long as you work hard, with a humble attitude, others will respect and like you. An artiste said this about them, “They seem completely unaware of their status, they greet the staff like they were in the past.” To a group which has achieved so much in both Korea and Japan, they had never boasted about themselves, instead they are silently working hard towards their goal.)

5. An era hero

(In Korea song field at that time, the ‘pressure’ faced by the Korean people and young people. They needed a voice to represent their ideas and thinking, and during this time, DBSK debuted, and they had become a popular idol among the youths.)

6. Amazing accomplishments and records

(If you have seen before the performances and awards ceremony in Korea, whether is it the charts ranking, music award ceremonies, combined performances with others, DBSK is no doubt the last group to perform, no doubt the winner of all. Looking at DBSK sweeping all the awards was a norm for their fans. There may be certain awards that other group’s fan wish to win, but to a DBSK’s fan, they do not have much to worry about, because they can know that DBSK will bag these awards easily. Also in terms of voting, cassies normally don’t have to worry as DBSK are usually the first. One of the reasons is because their fans are considered the largest in the world. Their fan just needs to cast one vote and they can be assured that they will win anything that they were nominated for. This also makes their fans to have a sense of pride, like hey, my idol won the 1st place, hey my idol won the big award again or, hey my idol is the last to perform! Fans will feel proud to they have such idols.)

7. Number 1 

DBSK is always number 1. And this number 1, when compared the results of number 1 and 2, normally has a great difference in percentage. In terms of popularity, album sales, concert tickets sales, normally, they would be leading the second in place by more than half. If they are compared to others of the same age or even idols that are older in age, we can say this:

When DBSK debuted, the others are still trainees

When DBSK were performing on stage, the others are still trainees.

When DBSK sweeps off all major awards in 06, the others are still trainees.

When DBSK debuted in Japan, the other groups finally debuted.

When DBSK topped Orion charts in Japan, other groups haven’t even received an award in Korea.

When DBSK made their comeback with their fourth album in Korea, artistes that released their albums in the same year cried (it means they shouldn’t have released the album because DBSK will get all the awards)

When DBSK won #1 within one week of their comeback, other groups haven’t had the chance to win them.

When DBSK once again sweep all the music awards in Korea, other groups can only watch them received it.

When DBSK had their third asia tour, other groups haven’t had a concert before.

When DBSK held their concert in Tokyo Dome, other groups haven’t been to japan before.

When DBSK have their concerts in Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and China, others groups are still having small-scale concerts in Seoul and Busan

When DBSK dominates in Japan, other groups are waiting in their waiting rooms, looking at this legendary group.

When DBSK reached their peak in the Asia, other groups haven’t even established their position in Korea.

When DBSK are sunbae, other groups are still greeting them and bowing ( as dbsk is sunbae), and the sad thing is, they are older than DBSK.

When DBSK are in Korea and Japan and they are in their highest point, they are still as modest and hardworking as before.

When DBSK become the most ‘expensive’ group to invite, they still greet the staffs and greet their hoobae with smiles.

Since DBSK debuted, they had been leading when compared with other artistes or concerts size. Their concert size and the people attending them are usually the largest. Other groups maybe are still hoping someday, they could have their own concert, but DBSK might have already had around 100 concerts under their records. I had once been to a concert that was by a quite popular group. (T/N the author is going to compare about the differences that he had experienced between a concert by DBSK and a concert not by DBSK, so he might be sarcastic here. I’m just translating what he had said.) 

I say, let’s see how’s the scale of the concert, I had a shock, originally, it was already considered not a big venue, but the seats in between are huge! You could even have your leg up and relax while sitting down to enjoy the concert. Also, I heard that it’s a concert tour, but no matter how I see, it’s only touring around Seoul and Busan. I started to think. DBSK concerts are normally touring in Malaysia, Thailand, Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Seoul and Japan. Is this because that I had watched DBSK large scale concert before? Even DBSK’s mini showcase was bigger than this. If my memory had not failed me, when DBSK just debuted, they had already had a concert venue that could hold up to 70,000 audiences. So I asked around my friends, “why is the difference so big”, and my friend said, "because they are DBSK! How could you compare?!" My friend just give a cold smile and carry on doing her stuff.

8. Popularity

The rate of DBSK popularity is already shown when they had just debuted.

There had never been a group that gained so much popularity when they just debuted.

They had won the Daesung with just 2 years prior to their debut.

For a rookie group, their first single had a record sale of 300,000. And now, you think about a popular group in Korea can barely had an album record of 200,000

9. What makes DBSK have a stable vocal?

First, as all of us know, Korean groups are normally classifies into whose the lead singer, those who can’t sing are normally known for other talents like dancing, etc.. But, DBSK are the only group in which all 5 of them are able to take the role of a lead singer, with this characteristic, it makes them stand out against all when they debuted. If at that time you say that their vocals are strong but not to the extent of perfect yet, then the obstacles that they had encountered in Japan and the constant holding of concerts tours, had trained their live singing to sound perfectly like the cd version. Japan usually focus a lot on the singing portion and being the best of the idol groups in Korea, when they debuted in Japan, nobody knows them at all, they are just a rookie group. In Japan, a country that is known for emphasizing talents more than looks, what should they do to gain recognition from them? This is where the 5 of them realised that they had to improve; they will use their music to conquer Japan. They keep on practicing their singing, increasing their own standard to gain other’s recognition, all these, plus the continuous concerts tours in Japan increased their on-stage experiences. This is also why up till now, DBSK still maintain
