TVXQ Cannot Disband

2009-08-03T00:19:00.000-07:00

TVXQ member's Micky Yoochun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu have filed for a Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request and have had people speculating a disbandment of the group. Right now, however, the opinion that TVXQ should be preserved and not disbanded, voiced by SM, the members and the fans, is gaining a lot of support.

SM stated on August 1st that TVXQ is a representative group of, not only the members or SM, but of Korea and Asia as a whole and they must fulfill that by continuing on with their activities as a group. It could be seen clearly that SM would stop any notion of a disbandment.

They have gone into finding a resolution for this dispute with Lee Sooman returning to Korea as soon as he heard the news. The key to fixing this dispute is how much Lee Sooman is willing to listen to the members and how much he is willing to concede to the members' demands.

He has been noted to be very disappointed with the fact that many are seeing Micky Yoohcun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu's lawsuit against their agency as a means of breaking away from the agency and disbanding.

When lawyer Lim Sang-hyuk, who is representing the three members in this lawsuit, releases their official statement on the 3rd, the exact details of the lawsuit will be revealed. But as of now, the three members have voiced their opinions that they truly want to stay together as the five members of TVXQ and have never thought of going off as a group of three as rumors have implied.

This means that if conflicts about the cosmetic company and the exclusive contract are resolved through a compromise, there will be no chance of the group disbanding; even a small step will suffice in this.

The three members' willingness to participate in the SM Town Concert on the 16th and the numerous A-Nation performances shows that there are no conflicts amongst the members that are big enough to cause worries or doubts and have significantly slowed down fears circulating about a disbandment.

The efforts of fans who wish to keep TVXQ as it is can be seen everywhere. On Daum Agora, a petition that was created to keep TVXQ as it is has already gained 13,000 signatures in one day. There are even talks of silent protests. However, some fans are saying that too much involvement from the fans may in fact hurt TVXQ's lawsuit and have warned other fans to just wait and watch quietly.

There is a growing concern that too much attention on TVXQ may continue on to create rumors that will make the entire process more complicated than it should be.

There have been rumors that there is a deep rift between Micky Yoochun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu's side and U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin's side and that the dispute between the three members and their agency ever since last April has become so irreperable that there is no hope for a solution. However, these rumors are only rumors and will only create more misunderstandings between the members and the agency and will only become a hindrance, not a helper.

The K-pop industry has been watching this sitation with concern, and many have stated that they wish this situation will end well and cut the continuous cycle of the disbandment of groups because of disputes between celebrities and their agencies that causes a lot of pain to the fans.

Many Asian fans are watching the situation closely to see if Hallyu group TVXQ, a group that has gathered countless numbers of fans across Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and other Asian countires, will be able to bounce back from the disbandment fears, their first in five years, and shine brighter than ever.

SS501's YoungSaeng talks about his friendship with DBSK and Suju

2009-05-27T19:08:00.000-07:00

People Often Compare SS501 with TVXQ, I don't think of anyone as my rival, but people see TVXQ sunbae, who are now at the highest position as our rivals. Of course, we feel good, feel honoured.TVXQ has released a lot of albums and has risen to a very high position, but we are just preparing to rise.

This is common in the music industry. Just like H.O.T sunbae and Sechskies sunbae, perhaps because of rivals, it makes everything more meaningful.Very Close to TVXQ and Super Junior, I've been close to TVXQ and Super Junior from the very beginning, I think the viewers all know that. I was a trainee together with TVXQ's U-Know Yunho, Hero Jaejoong, Choikang Changmin, Super Junior's YeSung and HeeChul. I attended the same school with Choi SiWon and was even his classmate. I was really close to him at that time.

He had to go to China under his company's orders, but he would call me. In the end, we both debuted at almost the same time. We always played together when we were trainees, but meeting him now feels so weird.

A lot of New Artists Debuting I don't really know how to say this but a lot of strong, charming artists are debuting. Other artists start to feel stressed and work harder. I often look back to when I debuted to see the difference. Now, everytime we see younger artists, it brings comfort to us, it inspires us to work harder, (smiles dorkily XD) thank you!Eternal Rival???I don't like seeing anyone as my rival. I don't go figuring out who's my rival and what I need to do to be better than them.

Naturally, my biggest rival is myself. I think about surpassing myself, I don't want to beat anyone but myself. So I don't see anyone as my rival. Moreover, we are a group, so we have to work together. Although having rivals is a good thing, but overemphasizing isn't. So don't think about this too much.

Q: Do you have a song you like to sing?

Seungri: Songs that I like to listen to a lot is "Undwenayo" by Hwisong-shi. And before I debut, I really really like "Timeless" by Dong bang shin ki-hyung especially Junsu-hyung, whenever I listen to songs that he sings, I always feel very touched (laughs). I've learnt a lot from Dongbangshinki-hyung, I also registered in Junsu-hyung's fan cafe and post lots of news and photos ^^. Because getting to know hyungs makes Bigbang and have Seungri in Bigbang. From now on I will try harder to show better and better products !

Q: Do you have a person you admire and really want to meet?

Seungri: Like I've just said, I really admire Junsu-hyung from Dongbangshinki and I've learned a lot of things from him. I've bought Dongbangshinki's CD and every time I listen to their songs I feel very good. To tell you the truth, if I get the chance to have a meal with Junsu-hyung for once it would be so great. (laughs)

Junsu's Interview

Q: Recently, do you have a song that you like to sing?

Junsu: Recently I've heard about a group called "BIGBANG" a lot. And the song "Koh Jid Mal" is very good (laughs). Especially when I found out that G-Dragon composed it himself, it makes me like the song even more.

(Yunho cuts in)

Yunho: One day, Junsu bought BIG BANG cd back home and we feel very honored that we bought Bigbang's songs to listen to. Then one day while Junsu was having dinner and watching TV, Junsu listens to "Koh Jid Mal" from Bigbang all the time.

Q: If so, have you heard about Seungri-shi from Bigbang being your fanclub?

Junsu: Aaaaa... yes, I've heard about this before and I feel very thankful for everyone in Bigbang. Once I went on a show and got to meet Bigbang. I shook all of their hands and when Seungri shook my hands he won't let go. We looked at each other in the eye and Seungri said "I've always admire you", when he does that I smiled and he smiled, and Seungri greeted me (said hello) again and again. I was so surprised then.

The competition between TVXQ and Big Bang

2008-11-26T01:07:00.001-08:00

The competition between TVXQ and Big Bang has aroused many people’s interest.

TVXQ held their fall mini concert on the 21st at Seoul Plaza. During the press conference, they were asked, “In the 1 year and 7 months after you’ve left Korea, many new competitions have sprouted. What do you feel about the talks of competition?” They answered, “We’ve been away from Korea for 1 year and 7 months, but we’ve been in Japan for all that time. Not being in Korea was like taking a break, so we have to come back and work hard.”

They also said, “The new groups such as Big Bang and SHINee are really good. Because of them, the music world has become more energetic. Looking at it like that, it makes us really happy.”

“Each singer grows and matures, and earns more popularity. This adds energy and fun to the music world. Because of them, we’ve been motivated to do better. Under this kind of situation, we can show everyone TVXQ’s unique qualities. We feel very happy about this.”

TVXQ has revealed that their fourth album theme “Mirotic” was Jaejoong’s idea. “Miro” means a feeling you cannot get rid of, and adding “Tic” to it made a new word. “Even though this gives fans a fresh feeling, we’ve always been determined to created an album where people can’t pull themselves out of it.”

Also, TVXQ’s fall mini concert on the 21st was the official beginning of their fourth album promotions. This time’s event was for young adults to mingle with the general public, and create a passionate atmosphere.

TVXQ performed 5 songs from their new album at their concert, including the title song “Mirotic,” and will also be revealing a series of small stories from the 1 year and 7 months they’ve been in Japan.

We met everyone with “I want to be your bed for one day” in Hug, and gained support with our “I can’t make a mistake, I must perform well, just like when I practice…,” and through these five nervous years, with time and age, we now appear in front of everyone with “You’ve fallen for me, you’re crazy for me…I got you…” in Mirotic, as five true men. We’re always reminiscing like this. Just like you’ve walked these times with us, we’ll have even more time to make more memories! For sure! No matter when, our every minute, every second, and every moment together is precious and we value each other even more. If we could have a relationship like this, how great would that be? Although it can’t be seen, our hearts are the same, right? We’ve always believed in each other, and as time goes on, our trust in each other becomes deeper. No matter when, our songs are by your ears, in your hearts. If we could be with you through sad, happiness, and anger, and make those into memories, how great would that be? Although we can’t compare to the love you give us, although we can never repay the time and love you give to us, we will always work hard and be the TVXQ that makes your heart warm with our songs and our faces. Youngwoong Jaejoong, Choikang Changmin, Xiah Junsu, Uknow Yunho, Micky Yoochun, no matter when, we are always flying with you! Goodbye, we are TVXQ! ”

Junsu On SBS "Closest Friend Note' show

2008-10-30T19:19:00.000-07:00

Junsu & Lee Wan will be join new broadcasting show. They will met together for the first time as a guess. It’s a show where celebrities that most likely wouldn’t meet get an opportunity to meet and hang out for 12 hours talking and figuring out what to do with their time. They said that the meeting between Lee Wan and it’s was happy to him to see Junsu since he heard that he was: a “Nice guy with a great personality.”

Junsu was also happy to meet Lee Wan since being a singer restricts him from meeting actual actors and actresses since they work in two different entertainment scenes. Junsu also will more happy if Lee Wan Noona (Kim Tae hee) join this show.

The second article talks about the same thing. You know how it goes…a huge Idol Singer like Junsu saying that he wanted to meet beautiful Kim Tae Hee will get people squealing haha. Hope it helps out.
