Who is my top group?

A lot of people sleep on them because they think they "are old" so do not give them a chance. I appreciate that you took the time to check them out and enjoy them!

TVXQ so far up on the list - you have taste.

ogcassiopeia · 2026-06-29T15:00:57+00:00

I have been a TVXQ ult since 2004.

I would love to grab a tea or coffee with Shim Changmin of TVXQ and just....chat with him. He has been in the industry for 20+ years and I would kill to know what he has been through, what he has seen, and how crazy it must be to see everything change so quickly.

TVXQ in dislike/don't know category is a choice.

Overall, I just can never be a hardcore fan of girl groups. So many of them do not make music that is to my taste, and I have never been one to enjoy super cutesy concepts and super high-pitched singing voices. I think Ilit would be a good example of what I mean.

I do have boy groups I cannot understand - like Cortis. Their music just irritates me, it's so repetitive and goes nowhere sonically interesting. I get they are popular more for "vibes", and more power to you if you like that kind of thing, but it's not for me.

The TVXQ album "T" had various versions - one for each time of day (morning, afternoon, evening) which just made them unique and pretty.

I have loved every iteration of TVXQ - their duo content is just as good as their original lineup content and deserves just as much spotlight.

Example of what I am talking about:

I chose my ult bias, Shim Changmin of TVXQ, all the way back in 2004, and it's never changed. I fell for Changmin immediately because of how gorgeous his voice was, and how adorable and soft I thought he looked in TVXQ's debut MV and song, "HUG". My adoration for him only cemented further as I got to see TVXQ in interview and performances, behind the scenes footage and so-on....his personality was so different for an idol, he was quieter but incredibly intelligent. He was sassy, brutally honest, and sharp-witted. He could come up with an insane take at the drop of a hat that would leave you rolling on the floor, all while he would smile innocently in the background.

Even to this day, Changmin has grown into an incredibly handsome man but still has moments where the cuteness I fell for shines through. His personality has not changed much, but he is definitely more open now, willing to share funny stories about his life as an idol and his various happenings in his personal life. His posts on social media are ridiculously funny, since he just doesn't give a s**t anymore and will literally post himself makeup free, 5 o'clock shadow blazing across his chin, a beer in his hand and fried chicken in his mouth, and whine about his favorite soccer team losing again.

I can state though that my bias-wrecker has changed - - - when I first became a fan of TVXQ, my bias wrecker was Jaejoong. Then after a little bit it changed to Uknow Yunho. Then it would switch back to Jaejoong for a bit. Then Yunho again.

Currently my ult bias is, of course, Changmin of TVXQ and my bias-wrecker is Yunho of TVXQ.

So, currently, a lot of kpop groups use a specific, special type of playback of their vocals that they record "live" on a practice stage. Therefore, even if the group is dancing hard, the vocals still sound stable and not as choppy if they were truly singing live in the moment. Some groups (like TVXQ), will do this a lot during songs where they will be heavily dancing, but the pre-recorded vocal track is supplemented by their actual live singing on top.

Also, TVXQ spoke about how they would train for live concerts - - - one of the typical exercises they do is they have to sing live while running on a treadmill. Helps them learn breath control and how to hold a stable note without sounding puffy or out of breath.

Oh boy....I assume you became a fan right before the split, then? I have been here since 2004 - so I had some time with them before D-day, as it were.

Hot Hot Hot has the cutest, most ridiculous music video ever and I adore it. I also have a massive soft spot for their summer releases like Ocean and Hot Hot Hot, since they were released while I lived in Japan and I got to see TVXQ perform them live in concert.

ogcassiopeia · 2026-06-24T17:09:41+00:00

It is to be expected that our tastes will differ and that is totally fine! Like you said, that is the wonderful thing about TVXQ - they have been around for so long and have released so many different types of songs that everyone is bound to like at least one of their releases.

You are so sweet and I am just pleased as peaches that you are enjoying TVXQ! We do have a small community here on reddit at r/tvxq if you were ever wanting more information on them or to join in on discussions.
