TVXQ, what is the reality?

A few days ago, from the release of TVXQ's new single album, Tokiotomete, TVXQ broke a new record in the Japanese Oricon chart in 31 years!

They were the first foreign boy band who held first place in the daily oricon chart for 8 days! On the day of the release, over 12 million copies were sold. This made the news flame up, but just yesterday another big issue came up on the news.

As said before, due to Jun Su, Je jung, Yu chun suing their Korean company, SM Entertainment they are no longer able to be active in Korea by the name of TVXQ. Even this was a big depression to both TVXQ and TVXQ fans, but now their Japanese company, AVEX Entertainment had also stopped TVXQ from being active in Japan as a group but working alone was okay.

Not only this but the Japanese TVXQ fan club, Big East is in danger as well. The fan club site said that by the end of April, they will announce whether they will keep the fan club going on or abolish the fan club.

This was a big issue and this made fans very curious because everything was going on well; they broke a new record in Japan; Junsu is doing a musical; Jejung, Yuchun, Changmin, a drama; Yunho performing at the tribute concert of Michael Jackson with world wide celebrities in Europe.

Maybe the reason is that many people think that the reason of those twosome and trios is because of their different ideas but reality was different. Where ever these 5 people went out on TV, they all said that TVXQ was their family and they can't live without them. Then why did they divide up?

Changmin and Yunho probably stayed in Korea because they thought that if at least one member stays back, their group will be able to survive through all of this chaos. On the other hand, Jejung, Yuchun, and Junsu thought that it was right to find back their rights of being a super star.

TVXQ and SM Entertainment made a contract saying that if TVXQ sells more than 50 million copies, they will receive more than half of the money they earned by selling it. When TVXQ came back to Korea in 2008, they sold more than 50 million copies but in the end, they got only less than 20% of their earnings. They had only 3 days of vacation every year, and their average sleeping time was only 2 hours! Even though they are the most famous pop group in Korea and one of the most famous pop groups in Asia, the reality was that TVXQ was treated as a money-giving-machine.

I understand TVXQ's situation, and I strongly support them. I hope the win this 'game' and actually live a happy life!!

p.s. During a magazine interview, when the interviewer asked Yuchun what he wanted to do, Yuchun said, "I want to be happy because I was never happy lately." This was and is the reality of TVXQ and I hope they cheer up.
