TVXQ will take part in the soundtrack for new SBS TV series “Athena,” announced the drama's promoter Vidan Co on Wednesday.
Film marketing company Vidan stated through a press release that boy band TVXQ will sing a soundtrack to spy thriller “Athena,” joining the list of big names in the Korean music scene including Park Hyo-shin, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Brown Eyed Soul, who have already sung and released soundtracks to the new show.
“Athena,” starring Jung Woo-sung, Soo Ae, Cha Seung-won and E Ji-ah, is Korea’s first attempt at a spin-off drama based on spy action series “IRIS (2009)” from KBS.
"Athena," filmed in five nations, is about terrorist acts and threats against the Korean Peninsula and the whole world.
However, after disputing with agency SM Entertainment over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ.
TVXQ is now a duo group led by two remaining members Changmin and Yunho who are set to make a comeback to the local music scene on January 5.
