TVXQ, one the leading dance groups in K-pop scene since debuting in 2004, was formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejoong, Mickey Yuchun, Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho.

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