[ Dong Bang Shin Gi - Dong Bang-ui tuhon (Dong Bang Shin Gi's Fighting Spirit : 2006 World Cup Korean Official Image Song) ] Tracklist : 1. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (Original ver.) 2. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (2 Step ver.) 3. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (Vibe 7 ver.) 4. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (instrumental)   [ Review ] 1. Dong Bang-ui tuhon This official song for Korea in the 2006 Football World Cup is a pretty ballad, very calm because the voices are not too powerful and the chorus stays very calm too. The first one is sang by one member only, Hero, the second one is sang by Xiah and U-know, and the final one is sang all together, adding to the song a strong solidarity feeling, with additional female and male voices in the background. Of course, the song finishes with the word "Korea". 2. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (2 Step ver.) Like a lot of remixes, this one has a music which is a little strange, it is not a ballad anymore, the rhythm is faster. It is not that bad, but the song seems less good than the real one. 3. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (Vibe 7 ver.) When i heard the beginning of this version, i thought i was listening to "Rising Sun" at the same time ! The noises added in the beginning are the same as "Rising Sun" 's beginning. I don't really understand why they did another version again because the rhythm is the same as the previous one, it is the same kind of music, just a little more dance-like. But i like it in the end when there is a part in which the additional voices are added without the music. 4. Dong Bang-ui tuhon (instrumental) Conclusion The main song is a beautiful ballad, with a different feeling from Kpop ballads since it is an official song for the World Cup, here we can feel it is a hope song. I like a lot how the power of the voices increases with the time, the end is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the different versions are not really necessary, especially the fact that there are two of them, not very different. But maybe the special features coming with this CD will decide you to get it...
