Title: Teen Tunes Get the Rap From Censoring Body
...
Korean authorities categorize albums that contain songs with what they consider sensational or lewd material as albums that shouldn't be sold to people under 19.
Record companies are obliged to attach special labels, and record shops have to set up a separate area for those records.
But there was a rare sighting this time. At the top of the shelf were the latest albums by two major artists in Korea, possibly two of the most famous and successful pop singers in the country: Dong Bang Shin Gi, a boy band also known as TVXQ, and Rain.
TVXQ's fourth album, "Mirotic," has sold more than 482,000 copies as of Nov. 30 since its release in September, making it the best-selling album since Seo Tai-ji put out his seventh album in 2004.

Even with the current state of digital sales being over album sales, DBSK being able to sell over 300,000 album is truely amazing and meaningful. Even though this year has been the best year with the artists/idols passing 100,000 album selling were Kim Dong-Yul, Big bang, Brown Eyes, Seo Taiji and etc. Although They have all passed record sales of 100,000 , the amount of sales DBSK has sold has surpassed even this.

TVXQ's 4th album, Mirotic, which had 330,000 copies in stock, has SOLD OUT! So due to this situation, could it lead to 400,000 copies? If it does, 400,000 copies will be the best sales history that TVXQ's made.
On the 17th TVXQ's representative from SM Company mentioned, "Now all the album copies are SOLD OUT, and now we're working on the extra packages." And also stated, "Though we don't know exact number, but over the number of 300,000 is CERTAIN."

Popular group Dong bang Shin Ki, who have made their comeback after 1 year and 7 months gathered much new interest after taking a blood type based dating psychology test.
As part of the popular “Psychology break” corner of SBS Power FM’s Choi Hwa Jung’s Power Time (something like Toho-psychology in Bigeaststation I presume), the Dong Bang boys took some time to take a psychology test.
DBSG will be making their comeback on SBS Inkigayo, on the 28th. Today, DBSG visited the studio at 10 in the morning, and had three pre-recordings. Despite the severe flu, all the members had; they were able to perform very powerful performances very well.

Over 300,000 copies of Dong Bang Shin Ki's new 4th album have been pre-ordered causing the official release date to be pushed back for two days to Sept 26 2008.
Because of the large number of preorders, based on translations of reports from allkpop.com and asianfanatics.net, it's caused a shortage in the supply chain.
From the report:
MIROTIC has racked up approximately 300,000 pre-orders causing a shortage from supply chain, hence the release date was pushed back.
TVXQ members said, "Thank you for waiting and for the tremendous amount of support. We have been working very hard to not disappoint anyone."

TVXQ Fall Mini Concert Press Conference Q + A
Yunho: This time, our album title song and theme is "Mirotic." It was Jaejoong's idea. The word comes from "Miro," which carries the meaning of being unable to pull yourself out of somtehing, and "Tic." The idea is to make you feel as if you cannot pull yourself away/out from the fourth album. It includes a lot of ideas and opinions from the members.
Junsu and Changmin participated in the lyric-writing. Coming back to Korea after 1 year and 7 months, we've carried the memories and feelings with us and have worked hard. Even now, we want to show a better TVXQ through different music styles, and the past years have been like an extension of a blank period. Or you could say that we wanted to use that time to test our own ideas and thoughts. We've been constantly trying to put many unique qualities of TVXQ together to show everyone, and we're ready to take any criticisms that result from our change.
