TVXQ Yun-ho says actor debut is lonely

U-Know Yun-ho, leader of five-member boy band TVXQ, said it has been lonely debuting as an actor.

The singer, whose real name is Chung Yun-ho, made the remark in an interview held concurrently with a photoshoot for the November issue of W magazine.

"It's been lonely but I believe this entire process is part of the growing pains. And I need it," Chung said in the interview.

He had recently debuted as an actor in MBC TV series "No Limit" but the sports drama has been struggling with viewership ratings hovering around five percent.

TVXQ is one of South Korea's most successful idol groups with over 800,000 fans across the world.
