About: The team name means "God rises in the East." This suggests that the group itself is a planned project aimed at winning the Asian music market. In particular, it is said that the four-letter designation of the members' stage names was aimed at targeting the Chinese market. However, with Japan-oriented activities, the company will take a slightly different course from its original plan. At the period, dance music slowed down gradually and ballads and R&B began to gain strength on the music charts, before settling into SMP genre, which they started to pursue in the future in line with the landscape of the music industry, the group said it was a cappella dance group, which each member was given a range of positions accordingly. They declare an official suspension in March 2010. In December 2010, a public notice on the official website confirmed TVXQ's comeback after being reorganized into a two-man group.
