TVXQ to release music video for song from SBS drama

Korean duo TVXQ [SM Entertainment]

Korean idols TVXQ have released the music video to a song from SBS drama "Athena," according to the show's producer Taewon Entertainment on Monday.

Taewon announced in a press release that the song and music video titled “Athena” from the soundtrack to the show of the same name was unveiled today on various online music websites including MelOn, Dosirak, Bugs and Cyworld.

The music video revealed the powerful voices of TVXQ members Max Changmin and U-know Yunho with scenes from the show "Athena."

"Athena," a spin-off to last year's blockbuster hit series "IRIS," is about terrorist acts and threats against the Korean Peninsula and the whole world. It also stars Korean actors Jung Woo-sung, Cha Seung-won, Soo Ae, E Ji-ah and Choi Si-won of boy band Super Junior.

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

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

TVXQ is now a duo with members Changmin and Yunho, who are set to make their comeback to the music scene with a new album on January 5.
