Re: INKODE, Jaejoong, DBSK, and all of the Cassies who still hold AKTF.

Before we start: I just want to point everyone to the "bio" and handle and be very clear that DBSK was the thing that caused this blog to exist in the first place. Back in the late 2000s. DongBangSkies? DongBangShinKi.

I was there when the announcement of the JYJ lawsuit and the end of DBSK hit Allkpop.com. I remember running home from school ready to watch another live performance on YouTube and seeing that article instead. And I remember hoping and praying they just settle it normally, knowing full well it was the end. Because thats just the nature of boybands rights? They make it big and split. And either they all fizzle out or only one person gets really famous.

Even back then, the DB5K Cassies all said the only way they would come back is if someone needs to have their own label, buy back everything they ever released and come back in 10 years after they all establish solo careers.

And even in 2009, I said Jaejoong was going to be the only one that could do it. Make enough money as a solo to make a company or be able to buy back what he spent 9 years working on.

Its been well over 10 years. and he has fought and clawed his way back despite getting blacklisted at the height of his career and spending his remaining hot-topic youth years without broadcasts. And he fucking did it. He has his own label.

Is it still a pipeline dream that Yunho and Changmin will leave SM or do a partnership with Jaejoong after all these years estranged? Is it kind of impossible for a DB5K comeback with Yoochun cancelled for drugs? Yes. 100% yes.

But I've kept the faith for this long. And I won't be stopping any time soon.

To my Cassiopeia community, regardless of where you are now: Hi. I miss you. I want you to know how important you were to my teenage self and hope to meet you under the Red Sea again someday.
