With the disbandment

had to search for another boy band to compete against other popular idol groups in the growing
market. In early 2003, Lee eventually selected five teenage boys from four different S.M. training teams to debut in a vocal dance unit. Xiah Junsu, the first to join the new group, became an S.M. trainee at age eleven and was originally trained to be a solo singer. He was put into an R&B trio with trainees
(both now of
fame), and the trio made their first appearance on the reality show Survival Audition – Heejun vs. Kangta, Battle of the Century, a 2002 series that starred former H.O.T. members

Max Changmin, the youngest at age fifteen, was the fourth to join the new band. Micky Yoochun, who started his training only a few months before the group's official debut in December 2003, was the last member to make the cut. The boys received phone calls from Lee and were told to attend a photo shoot session, which turned out to be a briefing for their upcoming debut. To build group chemistry, the members moved into a small dormitory room arranged by their management. After a few weeks of training and rehearsals, they recorded their first song "Thanks To" and performed it at the S.M. New Face Showcase. Yunho was appointed as the group's leader.
During their early recording sessions, the group was offered some tentative names to use: SM5, Dream Team, O Jang Yuk Bu (: ????; : 五臟六腑; literally "The Five

character, . They decided on Dong Bang Bul Pae, and even obtained permission to use the name from , but the name was later rejected by their management because the
was not aesthetically pleasing. Their name was subsequently finalized to Dong Bang Shin Ki (: ????; : 東方神起), which was suggested by Lee's acquaintance.

A S.M. official was quoted as saying, "We made a judgment that we don't have to manage the three members of JYJ any longer as they expressed their intention not to keep their activity as TVXQ" and further added that they have decided to end the litigation "to avoid bringing additional harm to U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who are active as TVXQ, and to avoid making any more unneeded issues".
