TVXQ starts their world tour in Seoul, reveals follow-up track “Humanoid”

TVXQ kicked off the first leg of their first solo concert tour in four years with a bang on Sunday, at Seoul’s Olympic Gymnastics Stadium to a crowd of 25,000 attendees.

Opening the epic concert, TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin descended on wires from the sky, heralding the opening to the packed stadium. Starting with “Rising Sun”, the members met with some equipment problems as the backing track suddenly cut off during the performance of their second track. Yunho glibly rolled over the problem, however, remarking, “This stage was meant to capture all of your energy.”

“We’re so sorry for making [our fans] wait so long,” they said, before going through a plethora of performances, including songs from their new and old Korean albums as well as their Japanese singles.

Changmin performed his solo ballad “Confession”, followed by Yunho’s sexy performance of “Hunny Funny Bunny”. The best was yet to come, however, as TVXQ announced that they would be teasing the audience with performances of  their follow-up promotion track, “Humanoid”.

Check it out below:

“It’s our first concert in four years, so our staff members worked very hard. Let’s work to create this concert together,” Yunho said to the stadium. “I feel like your energy is being directed towards us.”

“We’d like to reveal our greatness to as many people as possible,” Changmin added.

The concert shot to its crescendo with a performance of their newest title track, “Catch Me”, as well as“Keep Your Head Down” from their previous album. When the fans clamored for an encore, TVXQ responded by performing their classic hit, “Mirotic”, as well as “I’ll Be There”.

Using state-of-the-art special effects (including 3D mapping technology) and various equipment to bring the performers closer to the audience and their fans, TVXQ’s first leg of their world tour signaled to the world that their hiatus was over.

Super Junior‘s Donghae and EXO took a group photo to show support for TVXQ and many other celebrities also showed their support.

“I Miss You”, Park Yoochun & Yoon Eun Hye To Appear In Episode 5

“I Miss You”, which has been termed by netizens as the most heartbreaking Korean drama, has been making viewers tear even though Park Yoochun and Yoon Eun Hye have yet to make an appearance. Park Yoochun will be making his first appearance in the fifth episode of “I Miss You”, and appeared briefly in the preview as a charismatic detective on the crime squad. The innocence of a 15-year-old was no longer to be seen, but he instead appears perfectly suited for his nickname “crazy rabbit”, creating suspense and anticipation among the viewers towards upcoming developments in the plot. Park Yoochun, Yoon Eun Hye, and the other adult actors and actresses will be making their appearance in episode 5.

Meanwhile, many fans have also expressed that they are afraid to watch “I Miss You” because the plot is too tragic, and hence the ratings have not been outstanding. It remains a question as to whether the “tragic” storyline will take a turn following Park Yoochun and Yoon Eun Hye’s appearance in episode 5.

On another note, in response to Park Yoochun’s upcoming appearance, netizens have been posting, “Anxious, I can’t wait any longer”, “I’m even more excited after seeing the preview clip” and “Looking forward to Wednesday, just seeing the preview is making me die of anticipation. Speaking of which, the first three to four episodes were too tragic, I can’t eat or sleep well after watching it, and I used up a bunch of tissues. Hopefully the plot will not continue to be as tragic.”
