Cassiopeia got angry towards tonight Korea SBS ‘News Track’!!
“They are not Hallyu stars!”
The term ‘Hallyu stars’ refers to celebrities who are already popular in Korea, yet they go to other countries (including Japan) and hold a short-term event in the destination country to get more income and fans.
And they (TVXQ) are not Hallyu stars!
They are local stars! (T/N: from word ‘localization’)
What does mean by local star is… the artists must go along with Japanese method/system, make debut as rookies in J-POP and do entertainment activities according to system that is ruled for rookie in the local industry. Regardless the treatment they have for their star status in their home country, these artists have to work hard and make all great efforts as rookie.
The term ‘Hallyu stars’ have also been recognized in Japanese entertainment industry, therefore for a program from such big TV channel, the program officials should have been more careful and look for more understanding on the differences between localization and Hallyu.
These protests and opinions from Cassiopeia were revealed through a preliminary survey before the broadcast, however since the broadcast time is approaching thus program officials couldn’t modify the program’s content in sudden, SBS offered to write apology sentences for having mistaken in describing TVXQ as Hallyu stars on their homepage and will also display news ticker about the protest directly during the broadcasts.

SBS ‘News Track’ will be airing today on December 23rd, at 11 pm.

cassies r absolutely right~ if dbsk went as hallyu stars they wouldnt hav had to work so hard~ dbsk went from rookies to top stars in japan! they definately did not ride on the korean wave~

True, dbsk are not hallyu stars in Japan cause they didnt use and borrow their fame in Korea to venture out into Japan ent industry, instead they started out just like any rookie Japanese artist and gain respect for being recognised as J-pop artist.
However, Hallyu could be applied to them when they are promoting in Southeast asia and other parts of Asia but not Japan. But in Japan, They are not hallyu, they worked hard to get the recognition as J-pop stars.

I know cassies in Korea maybe known as these really “obsessive and overprotective” of DBSK and many people complain about that. However, I feel grateful because of Cassies, many people are afraid to mess with our boys, so I’m not complaining. That what makes people to think twice before hurting them.
Korean Cassiopeias are actually smart and mature. They stand up for the boys and before I joined this fandom, I’ve never seen any fanclub in this world that are as dedicated as Cassies are. I bet DBSk are proud of Cassiopeias despite how other people (antis, non-fans) view them.

Yes @madiyunhojunsu: ”makes people to think twice before hurting them. ” Korean Cassies is still the best spokesperson for our boys more than any bodyguard

even though i understand why this offends them, & the two terms are indeed a big difference, i still feel that they should ‘tone’ down a little, i guess. you can say i worry too much, but i always think if things like this keep going on, the people will eventually be fed up & give up on DBSK-related shows in general…idk
just my thought. to me its more like an unintentional error :s

I am glad that Cassies let them know that our boys are not hallyu stars. I have been saying it for some time now. Finally somebody tells them. Hopefully they don’t get called that anymore.

cassies have the power to do anything!! … and yes, TVXQ is absolutely, unquestionably, not a hallyu star!!!!! .. HEAR THAT SBS … xD …the last part was just to satisfy myself the need of saying something, therefore i nothing against SBS(.. maybe
) ..
but generally, TVXQ is not a hallyu star! .. i mean k-ent always says there are idol groups or whatever .. but they are actually based on qualities!!! … (not quantities xD) … not just how they look! .. yes, im mad!!!!!!!!!
