TVXQ’s five bitter struggles

July 29, 2003, was an important day for Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin to unite. In order to discuss the project called TVXQ, the five people were named the "dream team" from that day on. They started dancing, singing and acting classes together, and were also arranged to share the dormitory of the same office.

HOT had been disbanded for more than two years at that time, and Shinhwa, like their name, became the only Shinhwa in SM history: SM made a mistake in decision-making, and the contracts of 6 people expired at the same time! Eric used his family's power and financial resources in the United States. Under the leadership of the boss Comet, and after the great efforts of the six people and Orange Princess, he finally succeeded in switching from SM, the paradise and hell, to GOOD, and at the same time brought out the copyright of their album. SM must have been very upset and angry at the time, and tried their best to suppress Shinhwa. As the largest and most powerful entertainment company in South Korea, SM managed to make almost all **** stay away from Shinhwa. They had almost no jobs for a long time. In the ever-changing Korean entertainment industry, this kind of blow is very fatal. Shinhwa's popularity has been greatly affected. I have to admire SM's ability to turn clouds into rain in the Korean entertainment industry!

At that time, there was a vacancy in South Korea's top boy group. Shinki was a "dream team" carefully selected by SM. They debuted with a cappella singing and harmony as their biggest feature. Several of them were good at singing, dancing, and even their appearance. The names are almost impeccable. The name is a combination of the four Chinese characters "TVXQ" and its eyes are set on the Chinese market. HOT pioneered the Korean music industry in China, and the number of freebies in China is also quite astonishing. Even today, ten years after HOT was established and five years after its disbandment, everyone respects HOT, whether they are fairy queens, princesses or goblins. Shinki and SJ are almost all fans of HOT, and there are many people who were influenced by HOT before embarking on the music path. In this year's "Korean Wave China" competition, Shinki was also defeated by HOT. In 2004, SM may have felt that the Chinese market was huge, so "TVXQ", a group that was fully launched, was named in Chinese, and its plans for overseas markets were clearly set in China.

"HUG" was released on January 14, 2004, and TVXQ's debut was officially announced on the TV program MBC-TV "Music Camp" on February 7 of the same year. The debut song sold 200,000 copies and set a record, and also won the TOP awards from various TV stations. Years of hard work have paid off, and we finally took the first step towards success. The five people cried with joy on March 6th on KMTV Popular Songs, and all the unknown hard work paid off.

After becoming an instant hit in South Korea, Shinqi’s workload was astonishing. In addition to still having to contact and train, they also went on countless stages and recorded countless songs. They can be seen everywhere on programs, radio and television stations. In addition to increasing popularity, the extremely high exposure rate has also brought fatigue and pressure to these five 17- and 8-year-old boys that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Xinqi will never give up in the face of difficulties. Jaejoong dropped out of school and ran away from home, living a lonely life in Seoul while working and practicing. When he was hungry for his dream, he did not give in; Yunho was not the oldest but he served as the captain and participated in the most programs. In the interview Yunho, who talked the most and had the least lyrics when singing, and who was under the most pressure, did not give in; Junsu has been a trainee for the longest time and has gone through a voice-changing period for 3 years. He almost thought he could no longer sing. He was originally going to debut at the same time as BOA. But he was delayed because of his voice. Seven years of practice gave him the most solid singing skills and powerful and agile dancing. Junxiu, who worked hard for his dream, did not give up; he gave up his American citizenship and took only his childhood memories with him. The money for air tickets from the United States to South Korea. Yoochun, who left his family for the dream of music, has the richest emotions and the most sensitive and fragile heart. Yoochun, who missed his relatives very much when he was lonely, did not admit defeat; he also shouldered many responsibilities during his trainee days. As a middle school student, he tried his best to maintain excellent academic performance while training with SM devils. Even the youngest Changmin, who was ranked first in grade, did not give in; five young people with persistent dreams are walking on the road of music. No matter how hard it is, there is no turning back. Faced with a huge workload, Shinqi still strives for perfection. Finally became the top boy group in Korea.

In July 2004, Shinki came to China for the first time and was invited to Taiwan as a guest. Since China’s reports on the epidemic have always been limited, MS did not cause a lot of fluctuations at the time. It can be said that TVXQ did not have many activities in China in 2004. During the "The Way U Are" period, they participated in a performance at the Dalian Fashion Festival. During the "I Believe" period, they visited Beijing in a hurry. There are probably not many TVXQ fans in China who know about TVXQ. Not much.

In February 2005, Shinki turned to Japan! One of the important reasons for this is probably BOA. In 2001, the 14-year-old BOA debuted in South Korea and released songs. However, she was not as lucky as Shinki. The sales of her records were not good at that time. SM seems to always give singers only one chance. For example, the MILK group of which Himoto and Bomi were members also disappeared due to poor sales after one single. After BOA failed to release his first film, he was sent to Japan alone by SM.

It seems that the plan is to let this 14-year-old girl fend for herself, so fans who complain about SM's unfair treatment of others really don't have to look down on BOA. If she can achieve today's results, she can get SM to obediently hand over a job with favorable conditions after the contract is over. contract renewal letter, which was also achieved through her own efforts and strength. In the first half of 2004, BOA became popular in Japan, allowing SM to make a lot of money. Japan's entertainment industry developed earlier, and Japan is a country that pays great attention to etiquette, so the entertainment mechanism can be said to be very sound. Japan and South Korea have always The exchanges were very close, and Japan's public relations were very high. SM, which had always only looked at money, saw BOA's success, so they made complete changes to Shinqi's development plan, giving up China and attacking Japan.

On November 23, 2004, Shinqi held a press conference for Japan at Narita Airport in Japan. On November 25, the commemorative single "HUG-international Ver-" and "ALBUM" TRI-ANGLE were released. On sale. On November 27th, "HUG" release commemorative visit@Osaka , Aichi, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Fukuoka, Shinki began to enter the Japanese market. At the end of 2004, after returning to Korea to win awards and get soft, the Japanese debut single "Stay With Me Tonight" was released on February 27, 2005, and then began its development in Japan.

Xinqi’s first single was in the top ten of the Oricon singles chart. In 2006, Shinqi became an official performer and participated in A-Nation with Japan’s most important lineup. In 2006, Shinqi They held 11 tours in seven major cities in Japan this month, setting a precedent for foreign groups. Shinqi has a huge fan club like Bigeast... The five of them seem to have unlimited fame in Japan. If they develop smoothly in Japan and live a happy and healthy life, I don’t care if they come to China or not, and I don’t care if they release a Chinese album. If Japan is Shinki’s paradise, then their behavior of abandoning China and turning to Japan is a big deal in my heart. Not a pity. But behind Shinki's success in Japan is the heartbroken and tearful dedication of all the queens. The five of them worked very hard to learn Japanese, tried their best to communicate with Japanese MCs during interviews, and participated in so many recorded programs that it makes people feel sad. They were already extremely popular in Korea, but they had to start over in Japan. Their debut single "Stay With Me Tonight" barely even made it into the Oricon top 50. On August 27, 2005, A-Nation@Kobe Port Island Phase 2 Kobe Airport North Venue outdoor special venue. The sparse red balloons on the venue and the five performing on the stage were unpopular. Watch the live again for a second time. ★ While Japan is struggling to develop, they also have to take care of Korean fans, so what we see the most are 5 figures dragging their tired bodies and hurriedly at the airport with two big black circles... The fairy queen of the trapeze is a gift How much helplessness is contained in the title given to them. The workload of window washing in Japan and South Korea has worn down the body of five 20-year-old boys. July 2006 should be a very heartbreaking month for all fairy queens. Shinqi returned to South Korea on June 28 after finishing their 11-tour tour in Japan. Yunho, the leader who has always been the strongest and never let the Fairy Queen see his illness, and the pillar of Shinqi, stayed in Korea on the day he returned to Korea. After entering the hospital, the situation was shockingly bad. I thought I was particularly strong after Jaejoong's leg injury, but I looked at U-Know's sunken eyes, black eye sockets, and face that was so swollen that I had to wear a mask. , Yunho was completely broken down due to a sore throat that could not eat for nearly half a month and gastrointestinal problems for many years. I shed tears for Shinqi for the second time. Later, it was reported that the leg injury had recurred. Junxiu had been relying on intravenous drip to maintain his strength, Daomi had caught a cold, and the young and old had injured their intestines and stomach due to excessive fatigue and had not been able to eat well for a long time. This kind of Shinki touches the Queen's heart every day. She feels sorry for Shinki so much. I hope they leave Japan and return to Korea to have a good rest. For Japan, a place that can exhaust artists to death, SM uses people like machines. And extremely angry. But China's Fairy Queen can't do anything for Shinki because SM chose Japan for them.
