The first member to join TVXQ was Kim Junsu. At the age of 12 he was brought into SM Entertainment through a televised talent search with Moon Hee Jun and Kangta from H.O.T. as judges. His vocals won over the judges and procured him thorough training for the next six years. After three years of training, he was supposed to debut, but puberty caused his voice to change and he was unable to sing until it ended after another three years. After six years, he debuted as Xiah Junsu (Xiah is pronounced Shee-ah in Korean). Xiah is the stage name that Kim himself chose, explaining to his fans that the name was short for "Asia", as Asia is pronounced "ah-shee-ah" in Korean. "Xiah" would be an implication of his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but also a star recognized all throughout the continent.

Personal Comments: I just adore Xiah, he has such a infectious laughter! He's my favorite singer in DBSK, I simply do not get tired of listening to him. I would definitely buy his records if he decides to persue a solo career (though not likely at this time). I was so surprised to find out he's not only a good singer but also such a skillful dancer! He's as good as Yunho. Xiah's funny and cute even when he wakes up. Keep up the good work! ;-)

DBSK song that reminds me of Xiah: Holding back the tears, Love in the ice, Miduhyo, On and On, You're my melody.

Song I would like to dedicate to him: Men at work's Land down under (upbeat song for an upbeat boy ;-)
