TVXQ members celebrate 7th anniversary in music industry

Korean idols TVXQ, composed of member Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, have celebrated their seventh year in the music industry.

The two members, both donning black suits, uploaded a photo in front of a white two layered cake with a candle indicating the years that they have been in the industry as well as posting a voice message to their fans on their official website.

"I have already spent seven years with my fans and time goes by really fast. Our comeback performance is not that far off and I'm more nervous than I was for our stage debut. I hope that the fans have high expectations for our return and always show their support for TVXQ", Yunho was quoted as saying in his message.

"It's kind of weird greeting the fans this way but I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for always showing your love for us. We are working hard for our comeback so that our fans will be proud to call themselves our fans. I love you all very much", Changmin said during his message.

The two members ended their voice message by wishing their fans the best for the rest of the year.

TVXQ, formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejung, Micky Yoochun, Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, had been known as one of the leading dance groups in the K-pop scene since making their debut in 2004.

However, after disputing with agency SM Entertainment over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Hero Jaejung, Micky Yoochun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ.

Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho has made their comeback with the release of their special edition new album titled "Keep Your Head Down" on January 5 and its full version on January 12. The same album is also set for release in Japan on January 26.

TVXQ's new comeback video in the format of a commercial, was disclosed for the first time at MBC's entertainment awards and SBS' music awards.

TVXQ's video, which was shown in two versions, went on air during the year-end shows of top three major public networks: KBS, MBC and SBS from December 29 to 31.

An additional video was also released on the group's official website (http://tvxq.smtown.com) and Youtube SM channel (http://www.youtube.com/sment) on January 1st at midnight, as a New Year gift for their fans.
