DBSK's Micky Yoochun (23) was offered gifts of music equipments worth tens of millions of wons (in the $10,000s) for his birthday, but he declined to accept.

Fans had collected money from a month before and planned to give him state-of-the-art music equipments worth tens of millions of wons. But when Micky Yoochun heard about this, he declined, saying, "The expensive gifts are burdensome. I will just accept the hearts (thoughts)."

Instead, Micky Yoochun had a birthday party with the fans. His birthday was the 4th, but he was in Japan then because of a concert. So Micky Yoochun celebrated with the fans on the 7th at the Dream Concert held at Seoul Jamshil main arena.

Fans gave 200 gift sets - with rice cakes, fruits, drinks with Micky Yoochun's stickers on them - for the crew and the staff at the event, and presented a birthday cake. Micky Yoochun declined all other gifts.

DBSK's U-know Yunho also had returned a state-of-the-art notebook, keyboard, digital camera, etc. last February, but he asked the fans for understanding and donated the items.

A staff at Micky Yoochun's agency, SM Entertainment, said, "I think Micky Yoochun made this decision because the presents were too expensive when most of the fans are so young. If the fans would listen to and get 's new album to be released in August, I think that would be the biggest gift they can give to DBSK."
