On the 26th, the group TVXQ(Dong Bang Shin Ki) is making a comeback with their 9th full-length album, marking their 20th anniversary after approximately five years.

Debuting in December 2003 with their first single 'Hug,' TVXQ, with hits such as 'The Way U Are,' 'Magic Castle,' 'O-Jung.Ban.Hap,' 'Balloons,' 'Mirotic,' and 'Why(Keep Your Head Down),' solidified their position as artists representing South Korea.

From their debut, TVXQ captured everyone's attention with unconventional concepts and distinctive performances. Particularly, their powerful sound and beats, combined with flawless choreography, created stages that held viewers captive, providing exhilarating catharsis.

Songs like 'Rising Sun (Pure),' considered TVXQ's identity, the iconic 'Mirotic,' the attention-grabbing 'Catch Me' with its unique choreography, the splendidly staged 'Something,' and the musical-like 'The Chance of Love' have received unwavering love from listeners.

At the '2023 MAMA AWARDS,' TVXQ delivered a powerful performance, showcasing their two decades of experience and once again proving their vitality, building up even greater anticipation for their 9th full-length album.

TVXQ expanded their musical universe by not only presenting outstanding performances but also releasing diverse songs that showcase their vocal colors and harmonies.
