TVXQ aka Tong Vfang Xien Qi (Chinese), also known as DBSK (Dong Bang Shin Ki) in Korean and Tohoshinki in Japan completed 17 years in the industry on Christmas
One of Kpop's biggest and earliest icons, TVXQ revived the idol industry and made boy groups a phenomenon after the dead period following the 1st generation. One of the first Kpop acts following BoA to gain superstardom in Japan and the rest of Asia, they're one of the leaders of the Hallyu wave and at one time, held the Guinness world record for the largest fan club in the world (Cassiopeia). I think there was also a record in a calendar year of being in the most magazine photos or something lol.
Either way, TVXQ! was huge.
Their debut performance was on a special BoA X Britney Spears concert lol. Right from the start, they showed off their harmonizing abilities with this live acapella:
TVXQ was famed for always singing live and being amazing performers. Here's their MAMA 2008 performance:
JYJ split was unfortunate and SM still blacklists those 3 members. Yoochun has those sexual assault allegations too so rip. Yunho/Changmin have kept the TVXQ brand alive tho and continue being SM's biggest moneymaker.
One of my fav TVXQ OT2 performances:
Selling out huge stadiums in Japan and always delivering epic performances, TVXQ remain the standard bearers in SM Entertainment. Congrats on 17 years
