Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia is the official fan club of South Korean band, TVXQ. It was named after the 5-starred constellation, Cassiopeia. Its counterpart in Japan is called BigEast.
The fan club was formed on April 23, 2006, a few years after the
group's debut. The official fanclub color is pearl red, signifying
passion. April 23 is celebrated by fans as Cassiopeia Day as this is the
day when the fanclub member registration initiated.

Cassiopeia is the largest fan club in South Korea, with over 800,000
members registered on their Daum fancafe, Yuaerubi. Its membership
totalled to over 920,000 members internationally in 2009.
In 2008, Cassiopeia was listed in ‘Guinness Book of Records’ for

International fans of TVXQ who do not belong to the official Daum
fancafe or have SMTown membership also call themselves Cassiopeia.
Charity
Cassiopeia shows their support in TVXQ's name by sponsoring and
donating to charities, building schools and parks as well as community
centers across Asia. These are referred to as "fan projects".

Members of Yunho’s Japanese fan blog ‘ONE‘ donated nearly $20,000 to a social welfare association in his hometown of Gwangju, celebrating his 27th birthday. His fans in China also volunteered their time with the less fortunate, and donated enough money to support a young girl living in a difficult situation in China so that she can live comfortably for an entire year.
