BIGBANG’s Taeyang and Daesung reveal insights about TVXQ
During the episode, the BIGBANG duo revealed that in the past, TVXQ was at the peak of their success, and YG Entertainment once suggested they become like TVXQ more. Their response? "That's nonsense."
They were puzzled by the suggestion, feeling that the company should have instead made promises tailored to their own aspirations, rather than trying to mold them into something that was so huge and at the peak. It was a request they found hilariously hard to believe at first but later BIGBANG too became immensely popular and a household name in South Korea.
For those who might not be familiar, TVXQ, known as Tohoshinki in Japan, is a South Korean pop duo formed by SM Entertainment, consisting of U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin.
Initially, TVXQ was a five-member group including Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu. They skyrocketed to fame after the release of their debut single Hug (2004). Their first four albums as a quintet—Tri-Angle (2004), Rising Sun (2005), O-Jung.Ban.Hap. (2006), and Mirotic (2008)—achieved tremendous commercial success in South Korea.
Mirotic, in particular, won the Golden Disk Award for Album of the Year. The album featured the iconic single Mirotic, hailed by international music critics as a quintessential K-pop track. TVXQ played a pivotal role in spreading the Korean Wave to Japan, where they attained mainstream fame with their fourth Japanese album, The Secret Code.
