TVXQ, one of the leading dance and vocal groups in K-pop scene since debuting in 2004, was formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho.

However, after disputing with agency SM over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ.

TVXQ is now a duo group led by two remaining members Changmin and Yunho who are set to come back with new releases simultaneously in Korea and Japan in 2011.

Okay so I've been slow on news from them since I'm not a huge fan. So what's been happening lately to them? I heard something happened to JYP and now only two members are left and are releasing a single?

^jyp? lol u really are behind eh? XDD they are under sm :P dbsk had problems with their contracts, that they didnt get paid well and stuff so yoochun, jae and junsu sued SM. now they are having a hiatus and the trio formed a unit called JYJ and homin is going to release a new single in 3 weeks under dbsk :D

^bahahaaaa～ "JYP" it's JYJ (JUNSU/YUCHUN/JEJUNG)
I can't wait for Tohoshinki's (Homin) new album, it's under AVEX Trax? ヽ(；▽；)ノfinally!

Wow JYP lol my bad. Had a huge brain fart there. Yeah I knew about the drama and whatnot. Even listened to a few of the English tracks from JYJ (didn't like them that much though...) but thanks for informing me.

[TRANS] 101219 JYJ - 'TVXQ only holds meaning when all 5 of us are present'

'We're so excited and touched, although it's actually somewhat laughable that we got so emotional over being able to go on Korean TV as Korean singers. All we wanted was to be able to see our fans...'

The above were the words of JYJ members Jaejoong (24), Yoochun (24) and Junsu (23) from an interview on the 16th in Yeouido.

Since filing a lawsuit against their management company SM Entertainment, the three released a worldwide album entitled 'The Beginning' in October and began their activities as a 3-member unit through concerts and fanmeetings. However, not only has the KFCPAI sent out official letters of request to broadcasting stations requesting the prevention of JYJ promotions, SM has also expressed concern over their activities.

Due to issues with attaining work visas in the USA, free showcases had to be held in the US this November.

'When we found out that our US visa applications had been denied, we knew we were faced with a crisis and a challenge, but since we'd already made promises to our fans, there was no way we could cancel the shows. In the end we decided change them into free shows. Our crew over at the US were incredibly touched by our sincerity and determination, so it all turned out well.'

When asked whether or not the lyrics in 'Pierrot' ('In front of me, my bro. in front of money, I’m nothing') were directed towards SM, JYJ replied 'It is a song we wrote whilst thinking back to the days of our debut. When were still rookies, acts of social pressure such as compulsory education and abuse of rights was still prevalent. In terms of freedom being restricted, different people have different interpretations.'

With regard to the other members releasing a new album and promoting as Dong Bang Shin Ki this coming January, JYJ said 'Obviously we want them to be successful in their activities, but the name 'Dong Bang Shin Ki' only has meaning when all 5 of us are present. On those grounds, it is somewhat regretful. Our group is named 'JYJ' and we do not have a leader; we feel that our separation is merely the result of our current situation. One day, we will be together again.'

Having given honest, genuine answers when discussing issues revolving SM and broadcast companies, the three reverted to their usual playful selves when asked everyday life. When the topic of their hobbies and ways of spending free time came up, Jaejoong replied 'I hung 50 baubles to decorate my Christmas tree,' and Yoochun revealed 'recently (we've) been making fun of Junsu a lot but he doesn't really get mad'

When the three 24 year olds were asked about their plans for Christmas, Jaejoong said 'If I had a girlfriend, I'd like to go on a date with her holding hands, but I guess right now the only thing I can do is go out for soju with the members and our manager?' Yoochun and Junsu chimed in 'Soju is best with sausage. Let's go and eat sausage.'

Fansign Event on 19-12-2010:
- Yoochun said they're filming something ("undercover shoot" LOL)
- Jaejoong said the concert DVD is coming soon
- Fans asked Jaejoong why was he wearing sunglasses? Jae replied saying his left eye was not feeling well, he wasn't doing it on purpose.
- Jaejoong also secretly took the fans letter and hid it under his shirt without letting the bodyguard know.
- When asked what are the members have been up to recently, Jaejoong replied he's choosing a new drama, Yoochun said he went skiing and when Jaejoong saw the pictures of him skiing, Jaejoong was depressed (cause he was not invited)
- The fans were allowed to shake hands with JYJ. Fan:" I'm your fan" .. JaeJoong replied " i'm your fan too !!"
- Junsu sang 'Be My Girl' and Jaejoong and Yoochun danced to it with the fans. Starts around 10:50:


LOL, it's a must watch :laugh Jaejoong forgetting the moves, Yoochun only half dancing (more watching the fans who are dancing xD) and Junsu singing a part more and confusing Jaejoong and his moves even more :roflmao

Would be so mean if the news was made up :no

thanks Liz for providing the article here..
woah those words, about TVXQ doesn't mean anything if not the 5 of them..woahh..
they really wish them to be back rite?

just 8 more hours for the new toho song:heart
so excited!! i hope it's awesome :heart

^what, 8 more hours?! (it's the korean ablum not Japanese, right...) :heart this thread kekeke~

^it's just the korean song for athena drama:yes but still, it's gonna be awesomeee

that JYJ article... hopefully they said this, but... this kinda smells fake for me. anyway, that "Changmin wannabe" hairstyle should be banned, wtf Jae :no

excited for new song! :heart and there will be a japanese version of their album!

marie claire behind the scenes:

lol ho.

^
LOL, Jaejoong had hair like that too in "Break Out" PV, so he not really copied Changmin :P

Oh my, I really don't like this... :no

it still can't be compared to this disaster.:shakehead

That picture is so cute :3 Does anyone know when we might get the scans?
Oh and I can't wait for the full song from the OST :yes

scans are up already ;) check the first page, Jorge posted the link

Well, avex did their best to sell losts of stuff at expensive prices :laugh

I'm using the Korean tag 동방신기, like I always do for their Korean music.

Yay the song is great :heart ! Hearing Changmin sing again is the best <3

Congrats on getting #2 on the Oricon ! Selling even better than AKB without being active is impressive *o*

Yeah I think the correct tag is 동방신기 :yes, that's the one I'm gonna use as well

oh my I thought AKB48 is crazy this year but our boys are selling better than them :laugh
yay time to download Athena~

is this the song and its PV? it sounds great!!

WOWWW really impressed with the new song, Athena!
sound so GREAT!
love their vocals so much..I miss them !

wow congrats to Tohoshinki!!!

atehans ong = perfection
:heart
minnie scream!!!! <3 omg, i was so happy while listening to it

but i won't watch the mv, i don't wanna be spoiled with athena XD

I hope that Athena will be on the new album..
I don't want to buy the OST CD haha..
their album is more important :)

^i doubt it'll in their album, it's just a song for the drama
and i like it like that, because it mean more songs on their album XD

I love the song lol at first I thought I won't be used to hear only homin singing but the fact is, I love the song x)

ah too bad T__T haha~
coz i'm not really a fan who will buy a CD OST..
but i'll definitely buy their album once it's out..so can't wait!

Ginger scans (I don't like them :no)

and omg...
http://community.livejournal.com/tohosomnia/468032.html

wow, the ginger scans are so... orange? lol
but we all alraedy know that korean photoshoots > japanese ones :laugh

will listen to the mr removed now ~

^^ omg the second link </3. I'm glad that someone finally asked them straight questions and that they gave honest answers. So SM probably told homin to change their numbers right ? I hope that after the law suit is over, even if they can't perform together they can at least stay in contact ;__;.

woahh that latest article..
finally JYJ gave the answers from all the fans have been so curous about..
but actually, it's not so clear whether it's now that they don't contact each other or when they started lawsuit..

I think JYJ are good liars here. I can't believe they didn't contact with Homin at least once. Something isn't correct for me here.

that Athena song is ****ing awesome all right :heart

AGREE~~~!!
IT'S SO EPIC :thud:thud

ChanGod interview

:thud why so perfect/amazing/flawless/etc?:heart

^ I always love Changmin's interviews. He don't answer like a typical idol. I appreciate his wisdom and honesty so much.


More flawlessness to come:

it's DAT MAGAZINE omg
...but I'm kind of afraid since it's japanese one LOL

^let's hope for the best then XD
but tbh, i'm kinda afraid too haha

c'mon Jae you go boy


and reading translations of Homin interviews can make you emo as well. ;_;

^yeah
but still min can get really "deep" (aka funny lol) XD
:laugh

^want to share this, kekeke~ 笑 and what Ayu said here? ↓

translation?

It's something like "While I was writing in the car, blossom started to play/flow (my tears maybe?), I wonder why. It must be the song". I'm not sure about the last part, has some weird slang I haven't come across before/learned yet. =P. Oh well, I tried my best. ^^;;.

↑ありがとう、for your translation. I already got it and can't wait for JYJ「Mission」song to be release next week ( ^ ^ ) すごい！

!!!

changmin looks a bit like vampire, I like it.

^i like that pic!!! but becuase of the ligh min is looking so pale ._. i liked the other one better

**** yes! :D

omggggg
can't wait

hmm... dunno if I can post it here... but anyway

from his new photobook. :lech

^
"hmm... dunno if I can post it here..."
LOL, why not? This is still the TVXQ as 5 members thread :shrug

Yeah, Cassies on my twitter freaked out when they saw that pic :laugh
Also, there are vids where JaeChunSu send their Christmas wishes to us :)

^^ WHY ARE YOU COVERIIING? XD

I don't want to fight or be rude, but JYJ are still part of TVXQ and therefore they deserve a place in this thread.
I understand the excitement for HoMin's comeback, because they are you guys biases and they haven't been active for a long time. But yet I can't help but feel that JYJ aren't considered as a part of TVXQ anymore since the comeback as 2 has been anounced. Maybe it's just me, but I can't help but feel that way. If that's the case, then maybe we should have seperate threads because it hurts me to see this thread so divided (jyj are emo, liars, ...).
Some wise words from Jaejoong: "Cassiopeia was created because they loved TVXQ as a whole, not because they loved individual members." (Read whole interview here: http://community.livejournal.com/tohosomnia/471663.html)

Again, I don't want to fight or be rude, just speaking out what I've been wanting to say for a week now.

^i don't think nobody here is treatin jyj rude or anything ._.
at least i didn't see anything at all

lol Liz I mean that I was afraid to post this since it could be against the rules... you know, naked pic. I didn't even think about this omg. Can we stop bashing each other please? They're still part of TVXQ, it's obvious, they said this recently, fans are agreeing, me too, if not, I wouldn't be there, I would not care to make new thread and even though I would not mention about them in the first post. As you see I'm acting in a completely different way. :/ Sorry if I offended anyone though.

Anyway, I'm losing interest in this forum, I've been here only for this thread recently and it seems I might not go here at all.

Ah, I see. Well, Ayu's Vivi scans with the nude shoot were posted here too and Jaejoong is her little brother, so it should be allowed :P
I'm sorry if I offended you, Natalia! I just took your comments the wrong way. I don't want you to leave this thread, because of something I said.
But agree with you, I'm losing my interest in AHS too and this is also the only thread where I'm myself and love coming to. This is the only thread where you can express your thoughts without people hating on you and bashing you. That's why I want this to be a happy thread. I'm sorry if I hurted your feelings :(

Noura and Yvonne, come back please! I miss you guys :)

Jorge-ous, JYJ will release a Korean album early next year. It will be a self-produced (lyrics+music) album =)

I totally forgot about Ayu's shoot oops. If I did then that horrible misunderstanding would not happen. I'm really sorry! That was me who acted childish and hurt your feelings. :( /hugs

Seconded, come back soon Noura and Von!

I'm really happy JYJ are doing successfully with their self-produced work. I'm looking forward to their album!

They're music geniuses in making music. For me at least. If Jaechun didn't compose and write lyrics, I wouldn't get my favorite japanese song from TVXQ, along with Heart, Mind of Soul.

the saddest song ever seriously.

yeah, i know that:laugh
im hopping for a pierrot studio version if not, i'll get really mad :roflmao

We both acted childish :)
Yeah, I love their self producted music too :yes Kiss shita mama, sayonara is really :heart If I wouldn't love "Love in the ice" so much, it would be my favorite too :)

Did you know that Jaejoong wrote Pierrot lyrics? Well, that's what he said in an interview (don't remember which, because they did so many interviews this month). He wanted to make a song that critizes society, like some TVXQ songs (Tri-angle, Rising sun, O).

YUNHO IS SO MUCH WIN HERE. :laugh :heart


I'm glad you love it too! And well Love in the Ice is awesome indeed. I haven't got the love before but I think it's a great, lovely song now.

edit: omg read this
there's something which not pleases me but nevermind, I'm so excited!

gosh I can't wait for all their new material u guys have NO IDEA how much I've missed all their voices :luv2

Lmao. Changmin looks like he's about to facepalm himself and Yunho looks like he's getting a massive orgasm.

100 pages photobook?
10 tracks?
:thud

omgggg:heart
i hope YA puts link for preorders now:yes i need it naooo

It's called keep your head down ? O .. Kay.
Lmao at their expressions in the pic, it looks like a poster for a horror movie :laugh
Can't wait for the 100 page photo book and 10 new tracks *_*
