don't know if you're current with korean pop-music, but this band is huge in asia--especially japan (the 2nd largest music market). TVQX - Tong Vfang Xien Qi (東方神起), is a quintet South Korean boy band formed under SM Entertainment in 2003. In South Korea they are known as Dong Bang Shin Ki or Dong Bang Shin Gi (동방신기). they were later introduced in Japan as Tōhōshinki (東方神起?) under Avex sub label, Rhythm Zone in 2005. and here's the interesting thing . . . their name roughly translates as "rising gods of the east". TVXQ, the acronym based on the Chinese counterpart of their name, is the abbreviation officially used on all products and advertisements outside of Japan. i've always found names interesting because they usually have so much history and meaning behind them, especially in eastern traditions. want to know what a name or acronym means? click here...
