The competition between TVXQ and Big Bang has aroused many people’s interest.
TVXQ held their fall mini concert on the 21st at Seoul Plaza. During the press conference, they were asked, “In the 1 year and 7 months after you’ve left Korea, many new competitions have sprouted. What do you feel about the talks of competition?” They answered, “We’ve been away from Korea for 1 year and 7 months, but we’ve been in Japan for all that time. Not being in Korea was like taking a break, so we have to come back and work hard.”
They also said, “The new groups such as Big Bang and SHINee are really good. Because of them, the music world has become more energetic. Looking at it like that, it makes us really happy.”
“Each singer grows and matures, and earns more popularity. This adds energy and fun to the music world. Because of them, we’ve been motivated to do better. Under this kind of situation, we can show everyone TVXQ’s unique qualities. We feel very happy about this.”
TVXQ has revealed that their fourth album theme “Mirotic” was Jaejoong’s idea. “Miro” means a feeling you cannot get rid of, and adding “Tic” to it made a new word. “Even though this gives fans a fresh feeling, we’ve always been determined to created an album where people can’t pull themselves out of it.”
Also, TVXQ’s fall mini concert on the 21st was the official beginning of their fourth album promotions. This time’s event was for young adults to mingle with the general public, and create a passionate atmosphere.
TVXQ performed 5 songs from their new album at their concert, including the title song “Mirotic,” and will also be revealing a series of small stories from the 1 year and 7 months they’ve been in Japan.
