The rock band you see in TVXQ's "Tri-Angle" is SM's idol band Trax, they debuted in 2004 -- about 7 months after TVXQ -- and they were under SM until they disbanded in 2019. Trax originally was a 4 member band -- Typhoon Jay (vocals), Rose Minwoo (drums, percussion), Attack Jungwoo (bass guitar), and Xmas Jungmo (guitar, bass guitar). However, 2 of the members left the band in 2007 and Trax became a duo band consisting of Jay and Jungmo. (Just like TVXQ -- Hero Jaejoong, U-Know Yunho, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, and Max Changmin -- SM gave them all stage names.) And then in 2018 they rebranded themselves as TraxX and became an EDM band by adding DJ GinJo to the band. Although, they only had one comeback as an EDM band. Fun fact: Trax was the reason Chanyeol from EXO decided to audition for SM because he originally wanted to be a member of a rock band. The song is called "Tri-Angle," so I like to think of it as having three distinct parts that make one complete shape/song -- TVXQ's acapella style vocals, BoA's melodic voice with an orchestral sound, and Trax with their hard rock style. Just wait until you hear all 5 of them perform "Purple Line" live. Their vocals and harmonies are even better live. TVXQ are huge in Japan, so "Purple Line" was originally one of their Japanese singles that was so popular that SM decided to release a Korean version with its own MV a month or so later. There is also a Japanese MV. "Something" was released in January 2014, but it was recorded as part of TVXQ's 10th anniversary celebration, so to commemorate their 10th anniversary, if you notice, there is a Roman numeral X on the floor in the middle of the ballroom. Fun fact: as you may know, it wasn't real common to see females in Kpop boy group MVs until more recently, and that's one reason why Changmin used to say that filming for the "Something" MV was his favorite, because after 10 years, this was one of the first times that they had female characters/dancers that they interacted with in one of their MVs. Changmin was 25 years old at the time and U-Know was 27. And as you saw in the MV, you can see why he had such a good time. LOL ;) You should really see a live comeback stage for "Something." The choreo they perform live with this song has them using that double ended mic that is attached in the middle by a rope. They each hold an end of the rope, and they show off their impressive dance skills by dancing without getting tangled in the rope. It's one of those performances that shows exactly why they are considered one of the best performing duos in the industry. "The Chance of Love" in 2018 is a big deal because it was their first comeback after being discharged from the military, so the Kpop industry was ready and waiting for them to release a new album. OK, now you need to check out TVXQ's MVs for "Love Line," which is part of their Chapter No. 1: The Chance of Love album, and "Truth," which is part of their follow up/repackaged album Chapter No. 2: The Truth of Love. Not all of TVXQ's MVs will have them wearing suits, but TVXQ are SM's senior most group, and like the members of Super Junior -- who are known for their suits -- they are now all in their 30s, so suits are part of that more mature adult look that they are going for. Therefore, just like everything in life, TVXQ's look and style has grown and evolved as they have matured and aged. With a lot of their MVs they are supposed to be mature sexy men, so suits go with that theme. You will discover in "Love Line" that that song has a completely different sound and feel to it so they are not wearing suits. :D If you get into Super Junior, you might also notice that Super Junior's "Black Suit" has sort of the same sound and feel as TVXQ's "The Chance of Love." Both of these songs came out within a few months of each other and they were both each group's first comeback in celebration of the fact that most/all of their members had been released from the military, and because the groups are so close in age and debut era, etc. they often are similar. TVXQ and Super Junior are part of the same generation and were trainees together, so they often have a similar style and aesthetic when it comes to their MVs.
I was about to state the same thing, it is great that I am not the only one who knows about Trax! Thanks for the update as I never did a deep dive into them just appreciated their music!
some people don't come to k-pop after going through visual J-rock phase and it shows 😂 for me that hair in Tr-angle was perfectly fine, one of my friends even made a figurine of Changmin with that iconic hair and I still have it)) also, TRAX's "Paradox" is my all-time favorite k-rock song, highly recommend. and about the screaming part, I'm pretty sure you saw/heard something similar. In EXO's Mama. fun thing about those hieroglyphs in the video: TVXQ = 東方神起 =동방신기 = Rising Gods of the East.
Haha!! Spot on!! I got introduced to TVXQ back in late 05 via a RUclips video comparing Gackt and TVXQ. At the time, I was super into visual kei (Miyavi, Gackt, GazettE, etc), so Triangle was a perfect bridge into kpop for me 🥰
@@emilyh3412 I know right! Gackt was my favourite and his Malice Mizer era was spectacular visually)) Also, now every time I see a fandom crossover, I feel like it's from a past life. Like, who would have thought Hyde would be friends with Jaejoong and Miyavi would record a track with Kang Daniel. XD
fun fact: I pretty much dived into kpop bc of a U-know fancam from “the chance of love” and istg I completely fell in love with him bc of his sassy a5s HAHAHAHAHA, he’s such an amazing dancer and I remember watching that one fancam a hundred times only to see his facial expressions and how much fun he was having while dancing
In 2008, I saw Mirotic. It was my introduction to KPOP, and I have never looked back. TVXQ is in my top 5 groups, honoring the legendary kings that they are.
TRAX was a group created as a collaboration between SM ent and Jrock/visual kei legend Yoshiki from X Japan. Visual kei takes from hair metal and brought the styling to 1000 😅 it was a big thing in the 90s and 2000s in Japan but Korea has never been hugely into the rock/punk/metal genre. Btw a lot of TVXQ's Japanese songs have rock elements! Tri-angle is such a base SM song, all the elements of their production recipe are crammed into 4 minutes. It wasn't received very well at the time in Korea though. Purple Line is actually about being true to yourself and your beliefs and walking your own way which is a theme that comes back often in their songs (including in Rebel)! THE lyrics mean "to be in touch with myself" and Yoochun really protested against "really want to touch myself" but the songwriter insisted and the rest is history lol. The characters at the end of the MV are actually their official group name before rebranding for the international market. It's read as Dongbang Shinki in Korean and Toho Shinki in Japanese, TVXQ is the alphabet acronym of a Chinese pronunciation (that's why some people say they have multiple group names, in reality they have one group name pronounced multiple ways). The characters are still used regularly when they go on entertainment programs or in their MVs (I think the most recent was in Yunho's Thank U)
Purple Line was originally in japanese i believe, and was then recorded in this Korean version. It was the first song of theirs I ever heard back in 2010! It had a special place in my heart.
TRAX was SM entertainment’s first rock band . Consisting of 4 members they debuted in 2004 and disbanded 2019 .Ginjo if your familiar with SM Dj’s he is a former member of the band . He is currently a DJ signed under ScreaM records which is a subsidiary of SM
It is interesting that in a show they both said that "Something" is the hardest music to perform because of the strings, you should see a performance it is indeed crazy
Haven‘t listened to Triangle for a while, its such a good song. That‘s how i found BoA way back. I‘m sure you would love „O“ and „Wrong Number“ for 5 member group songs next
Thank you so much for your reaction on TVXQ! I am so glad to follow the throwback- journey with you. I really do hope you can continue with their ballads (both Korean and Japanese) as those are the ones for the harmony. I recommend I wish, My little princess, One, Don't say goodbye, Love is, holding back the tears.
About Trax, that was SM trying to get in on the very popular visual-kei genre from Japan. It didn't really take though, since rock music in general isn't as huge in Korea as it is in Japan. This is also why FT Island tends to only release harder rock songs in Japan, because they do way better there than in Korea.
The chance of love was my first proper introduction to the group [I knew about Mirotic and also the name DBSK but did not first make the connection to them]. The song has a special place in my heart lol. I remember hours spent watching their comeback show. It made me fall in love with both guys.
Yess I’ve been waiting for this I also reccomend slow songs like the 5 member versions of the songs forever love live, love in the ice live, bolero live & wrong number. Also btw purple line was a Japanese comeback tvxq are huge in Japan and have an amazinggg Japanese discography
I always love telling people that Tri-Angle was the song that got me into kpop in the first place because they look at me like I'm insane. 😂 But I came from jpop/jrock fandoms, so I already knew BoA and The Trax and then suddenly I had TVXQ plopped down in front of me and it was all over for me lol. Even so, I only seriously tracked down more of their music later and got into the fandom just in time to be there for the Mirotic comeback. Wild times.
I'm honestly surprised I never came across TVXQ earlier, I was super into T-pistonz + KMC which isn't really rock but it is some flavour of wild Japanese music 😅 they were the ones making the opening songs for my first anime and gateway into Asian art in general Inazuma Eleven. It did take a while for me to get into kpop in 2015 but when I did I went straight to SM, found EXO and TVXQ and fell in love! It's crazy how real the j-pop/j-rock collaboration pipeline that got most of us into where we are now is 😂
Thank you so much for reacting to my favorite group ever! I've been listening to them for the past 15 years and their music still hits that special spot in my heart :') TVXQ are amazing at live performances, you can check them out if you'd like.
Also can't wait to see you react to Jaejoong and Junsu! Jaejoong does more of a rock sound now I recommend Mine, One Kiss, and his cover of Glamorous Sky and Junsu's songs are just incredible! I recommend Flower and Tarantallegra.
Yes! Thank you for the comparison to SF9 I've been wondering how to explain why I fell so hard for SF9 when I did, turns out it was the TVXQ flavor all along! I do think they have some great similarities and it makes their music so good! Anyway, I got Something, Truth and The Chance of Love on repeat, along with Bibora 😉
Hi there! U got new subs here! Thank u for your reaction. TVXQ! as duo is the strongest duo there ever was and TVXQ! with 5 members is unmatched. Their musics are so diverse. They have both visual and talent. TVXQ! is never boring. Dig up some more. Whenever I see TVXQ! Im on board. Shoutout from Indonesian CASSIOPEIA! 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
23:29 A cassietasy smiled here. Yes my classy men/boys 😌 I was obsessed with Something when it first came out. I wasn't a cassie yet but i loved every stage of it. The song, the concept, the choreo, the mv. Everything was just my style. The live performances were so fun too. It was such a fan era. Btw, the live version of Purple Line is 10x better. They're singing with their raw vocals without autotune and it sounds so much better for sure. My favorite Purple Line performances: Korean ver. ruclips.net/video/bSLs2Wni5Us/видео.htmlsi=5-4oF8hgx4lolESg Japanese ver. ruclips.net/video/VQ5lxPzMqYk/видео.htmlsi=4XuVv-UEqntM1rGM
Changmin has publicly stated that his hair in Tri-Angle was terrible and he hates it, lol. Btw, I'm not sure if you're taking requests but the more I see of your TVXQ reactions, the more I'm sure that you'll like SB19. They're from the Philippines, not Korea, but I really feel like they're this generation's OT5!TVXQ. If you only have time to check out a couple of things, I'd recommend the Gento MV (a hype song) and Mapa live on the Wish Bus (a ballad). Both have subtitles. ♥
Thanks for reacting to Something, the one got me into TVXQ. The song, concept, choreography and both member's presentation are on the other level. You should check out their Japanese songs next time. They are like another new group in Japan. I'd recommend some ballads like I Love You, Duet, Still, Chandelier and other more. hope you enjoy :O)
The song I absolutely have to recommend is Before U Go (dance version) The close up shots while having dreamy eyes migt be finny but the vocals and spice this song has 🥵
Spellbound was the repackage to Something which is why the songs sound similar! Purple line!!! One of their more underrated title tracks, I also get 2nd gen kpop nostalgia from watching it 😭 Thank you for another great TVXQ reaction~
I love your TVXQ reactions! Please react to more of their old stuff! I recommend Wrong Number and also their Japanese stuff when they were 5. Purple Line was a Japanese single that's why you see Japanese words it says Tohoshinki which is their Japanese name. I recommend survivor and why did i fall in love with you.
Love that you are taking time to get to know some of SM older artist... if you have the time maybe you can make this ELF happy by reacting to Super Junior or enjoy another SM project group from back then like SM the Ballad (special group made up of SM best vocalist, mixed groups) I know you will love songs like Hot Times Ps. TRAX was the band doing the screamo in Triangle, 😂 yes SM actually had a Rock band.
I love your reactions to them😊, The song TRIANGLE is how you heard it, since there was a collaboration with BOA and a Rock group of that time and the hairstyles they wear are like that because they were familiar with the Japanese, since they based their songs more on the Japanese market, why is that where they wanted to enter, that is why in that album they have those hairstyles and those types of songs, and also I would also like you to listen to WRONG NUMBER by the 5 as a group and also by JAEJOONG, YOOCHUN AND JUNSU as JYJ since they also have good songs like: GET OUT which is a song with which They return to the stage, the song W, which is a song that talks about their former colleagues, as well as songs like PIERROT, EMPTY, IN HEAVEN, BACK SEAT, and also the songs of TVXQ as a duo that you still need to hear are BUT, SUPER STAR, BEFORE U GO, ANDROIT, and as a group of 5 I would love for you to hear, SUMMER DREAM, HI YAYAYA, PICTURE, BOLERO, LOVE IN THE ICE, TAXI, WE ARE, SHARE THE WORLD, SOMEBODY TO LOVE, SKY, ANGEL with Japanese singer Koda Kumi, and STAND BY U, which is their last song they release as a group.
I love your reactions to TVXQ sooo much!!!It's somehow like watching them for the first time again... :D When you're done with their MV's, I really hope you will watch their solo stuff, including Xia and the other JYJ members songs... One of my favourite songs is Flower :)
1:50 The one in the front is No Minwoo or Rose (his stage name when he was in Trax) or Minue. He left SM nearly at the same time as JYJ members. He has a band called The Midnight Romance now. And he is mostly active as an actor. 3:37 You should check out Junsu's Killing Voice. You'll hear more of that. That's at level 2 here. He is doing that at level 50 now.
I got interested in TVXQ bcoz PURPLE LINE song. Bcoz I like the bass 😀 Then I watch their live performance video for this song and made me got into this fandom. 😊 Even my friend introduced TVXQ for first time is Mirotic MV, but I didn't get any intereted. And everyone just "WHAT!??" becoz Yoochun's line "I really wanna touch my self" 😂😂😂 You can find in the comments in the MV 😛
so happy you're reacting to tvxq :D i've stanned a lot of groups in kpop, but they were the group that got me into kpop in the first place, and they'll always be my favorite. also yes, tri-angle is iconic and unmatched. it's so beautifully campy oh I'd recommend checking out their solo stuff! devil and chocolate by max are amazing, and I also love mine by jaejoong
Tri-angle is called that cuz it's 3 sm artists together, & the looks were so exaggerated cuz the concept was Visual Kei since SM has always been trying to crossover into different markets... Traxx is a band, & I feel like no one knows/talks about them since they weren't made for the kpop market, they were a straight up rock band mostly made to get money from the Japanese market & were completely opposite to what sold/sells now in Korea, so yeah, their part is definitely in the song
I miss TRAX so much. I recommend you check out their song Scorpio it’s fantastic, in both Korean and Japanese versions. Also Paradox. The main singer sings heavenly, I miss him singing. I love this song eventhough it was unexpected for the time. It’s also uncovered by anyone LOL no one has attempted to cover this collab 😂
The only reason why i wasnt as shocked when i 1st saw tri-angle was because i was already into j-rock..my lil bro was flabbergasted to see cosplaying singer😅
Omg thank you for your reaction!!! You should check out Boa's works!! Her Japanese releases are AMAZING as well! And you should definitely check Don't Don - Super Junior with Changmin and TRAX
triangle was my first kpop song when i was a child back in the day~ i didn't know what it was but i liked it. that was the song that got me into kpop (what's actually really funny)
triangle is a classic! and so is purple line! i remember learning the choreo to both for a flashmob back when my knees could still take it 😂😂😂 something is part of their 15th year anniversary~^^ it’s also the song where tvxq had first danced with female backup dancers, for which the fans were really happy about. the chance of love is another favorite too! it does have an old school vibe to it but with the unique tvxq twist~ try and see if you can find a live performance for all the mvs you’ve reacted to and see how tvxq is just, if not more amazing when they perform live! another suggestion: watch their mbc gayo daejeon performance 😊
I love the song Tri-Angle so much! And it is part of the original song. 💗 And TRAX was the band. I loved the variety you get in the song. Watching Purple Line made me realize I listen to the Japanese version too much, since I feel like those lyrics pop out in my mind... 😅
SOMETHING is a song in Tense Album dedicated for TVXQ's 10 years anniversary. ruclips.net/video/zwbDMkJq8_M/видео.htmlsi=Hu-jQ2zZmxnUp47e And The Chance of Love is released after Yunho and Changmin military enlistment
If you like the more rocky type of song maybe you could listen to Kardi? They were on immortal songs and performed an incredible version of Rising Sun!! I'd love to see a reaction to that🥰
Thank u for another tvxq reaction. Could you also please react to their live performance of love in the ice and bolero when they were still 5? Both are japanese
THE FUN FACT We're cassiopeia (TVXQ fans) hated and blame SM or stylist bcoz we didn't like tvxq styles (esp their hairstyles) in Triangle era. But we just knew when Jaejoong and Junsu said that style they themselves (members) wanted 😂😂😂😂😂 We just knew after about 20 years 🤣🤣🤣🙈
EXO - MAMA FTISLAND - I PRAY FTISLAND - TAKE ME NOW XDINARY HEROES - STRAWBERRY CAKE THE ROSE - ALIVE THE ROSE - BACK TO ME KIM YERI - RIVER KIM YERI - LEGENDS
Plz take a look at Sistar. They are a 2nd gen girl group that having a comeback recently. Im watching their MV n just know that ur so gonna love them, so I come here for a comment real quick lol
Tri angle is the song that has never been covered because no one can LOL
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
Yes 😂
Have you seen EXO's debut sing Mama?
The rock band you see in TVXQ's "Tri-Angle" is SM's idol band Trax, they debuted in 2004 -- about 7 months after TVXQ -- and they were under SM until they disbanded in 2019.

Always love hearing "I really wanna touch maaa self" ❤😂 Ah, those were some good kpop times.
Also, Spellbound was actually the repackage for Something, so that's why they have a similar vibe
My first time actually listening through Tri Angle. Haha I actually like it this time around...lol
Haven‘t listened to Triangle for a while, its such a good song. That‘s how i found BoA way back. I‘m sure you would love „O“ and „Wrong Number“ for 5 member group songs next
Let's go solo stuffs!! Both have GREATTTTTTTTTTT and CRRRRAZYY solo worksss
U-know: Drop, Follow, Thank U, Nexus
Max: Chocolate, Devil, Maniac, Fever
Up
Thank you so much for your reaction on TVXQ! I am so glad to follow the throwback- journey with you.

Hi, what comeback show is this? Is it on youtube?
What is the comeback show ?? 😮
Thankyou for react to tvxq more. Next you can react to their singing livee like begin, bolero, and more!! Bless youu❤❤❤
Yess I’ve been waiting for this I also reccomend slow songs like the 5 member versions of the songs forever love live, love in the ice live, bolero live & wrong number. Also btw purple line was a Japanese comeback tvxq are huge in Japan and have an amazinggg Japanese discography
Glad you played all of Something….such a short portion was sung in the Killing Voice! Also really love Chance of Love!
TVXQ! Purple line performance in Tokyo Dome Secret Code Concert 2009 is the reason I become a Cassiopeia 😂
I always love telling people that Tri-Angle was the song that got me into kpop in the first place because they look at me like I'm insane. 😂 But I came from jpop/jrock fandoms, so I already knew BoA and The Trax and then suddenly I had TVXQ plopped down in front of me and it was all over for me lol.

It did take a while for me to get into kpop in 2015 but when I did I went straight to SM, found EXO and TVXQ and fell in love!
It's crazy how real the j-pop/j-rock collaboration pipeline that got most of us into where we are now is 😂
Tri-Angle was my intro to kpop lol and all because of BoA and her song she did for Inu Yasha 😂
You need to listen to their japanese discography.. those are real gems 💎
Yes! He seriously needs to!
Thank you so much for reacting to my favorite group ever! I've been listening to them for the past 15 years and their music still hits that special spot in my heart :') TVXQ are amazing at live performances, you can check them out if you'd like.
When you started with Tri-Angle I started laughing, when it got to Trax I CACKLED.
YES TVXQ all of them have really unique voices but junsu and jaejoong are the most unique and are loved a lot by k netizens
Also can't wait to see you react to Jaejoong and Junsu! Jaejoong does more of a rock sound now I recommend Mine, One Kiss, and his cover of Glamorous Sky and Junsu's songs are just incredible! I recommend Flower and Tarantallegra.
Purple line is one of the most iconic songs 💟
Junsu's vocals shine as always
Yes! Thank you for the comparison to SF9 I've been wondering how to explain why I fell so hard for SF9 when I did, turns out it was the TVXQ flavor all along! I do think they have some great similarities and it makes their music so good! Anyway, I got Something, Truth and The Chance of Love on repeat, along with Bibora 😉
Tri Angle is that song. YES! Gosh i also missed Trax, the only rock band SM debuted. I still have this song on my playlist 🤭
Hi there! U got new subs here! Thank u for your reaction. TVXQ! as duo is the strongest duo there ever was and TVXQ! with 5 members is unmatched. Their musics are so diverse. They have both visual and talent. TVXQ! is never boring. Dig up some more. Whenever I see TVXQ! Im on board.
Shoutout from Indonesian CASSIOPEIA!
🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
bro i love when people react to tvxq
23:29 A cassietasy smiled here. Yes my classy men/boys 😌
I was obsessed with Something when it first came out. I wasn't a cassie yet but i loved every stage of it. The song, the concept, the choreo, the mv. Everything was just my style. The live performances were so fun too. It was such a fan era.
Btw, the live version of Purple Line is 10x better. They're singing with their raw vocals without autotune and it sounds so much better for sure.
My favorite Purple Line performances:
Korean ver. ruclips.net/video/bSLs2Wni5Us/видео.htmlsi=5-4oF8hgx4lolESg
Japanese ver.

tvxq has good skills. l want you to react their live performance. Their 'love in the ice' and 'bolero' live is legendary.
Changmin has publicly stated that his hair in Tri-Angle was terrible and he hates it, lol. Btw, I'm not sure if you're taking requests but the more I see of your TVXQ reactions, the more I'm sure that you'll like SB19. They're from the Philippines, not Korea, but I really feel like they're this generation's OT5!TVXQ. If you only have time to check out a couple of things, I'd recommend the Gento MV (a hype song) and Mapa live on the Wish Bus (a ballad). Both have subtitles. ♥
Thanks for reacting to Something, the one got me into TVXQ. The song, concept, choreography and both member's presentation are on the other level. You should check out their Japanese songs next time. They are like another new group in Japan. I'd recommend some ballads like I Love You, Duet, Still, Chandelier and other more. hope you enjoy :O)
ahhh so excited to watch this, thank you RJ!
The song I absolutely have to recommend is Before U Go (dance version) The close up shots while having dreamy eyes migt be finny but the vocals and spice this song has 🥵
Ahhh yessss!! Before U Go ❤❤❤
Spellbound was the repackage to Something which is why the songs sound similar! Purple line!!! One of their more underrated title tracks, I also get 2nd gen kpop nostalgia from watching it 😭 Thank you for another great TVXQ reaction~
Hopefully you react to queen BOA! She’s the one that introduced kpop to Japan. She literally opened the doors for K-pop’s success in the US as well. ❤
I love your TVXQ reactions! Please react to more of their old stuff! I recommend Wrong Number and also their Japanese stuff when they were 5. Purple Line was a Japanese single that's why you see Japanese words it says Tohoshinki which is their Japanese name. I recommend survivor and why did i fall in love with you.
Love that you are taking time to get to know some of SM older artist... if you have the time maybe you can make this ELF happy by reacting to Super Junior or enjoy another SM project group from back then like SM the Ballad (special group made up of SM best vocalist, mixed groups) I know you will love songs like Hot Times
Ps. TRAX was the band doing the screamo in Triangle, 😂 yes SM actually had a Rock band.
I love your reactions to them😊, The song TRIANGLE is how you heard it, since there was a collaboration with BOA and a Rock group of that time and the hairstyles they wear are like that because they were familiar with the Japanese, since they based their songs more on the Japanese market, why is that where they wanted to enter, that is why in that album they have those hairstyles and those types of songs, and also I would also like you to listen to WRONG NUMBER by the 5 as a group and also by JAEJOONG, YOOCHUN AND JUNSU as JYJ since they also have good songs like: GET OUT which is a song with which They return to the stage, the song W, which is a song that talks about their former colleagues, as well as songs like PIERROT, EMPTY, IN HEAVEN, BACK SEAT, and also the songs of TVXQ as a duo that you still need to hear are BUT, SUPER STAR, BEFORE U GO, ANDROIT, and as a group of 5 I would love for you to hear, SUMMER DREAM, HI YAYAYA, PICTURE, BOLERO, LOVE IN THE ICE, TAXI, WE ARE, SHARE THE WORLD, SOMEBODY TO LOVE, SKY, ANGEL with Japanese singer Koda Kumi, and STAND BY U, which is their last song they release as a group.
I love your reactions to TVXQ sooo much!!!It's somehow like watching them for the first time again... :D When you're done with their MV's, I really hope you will watch their solo stuff, including Xia and the other JYJ members songs... One of my favourite songs is Flower :)
1:50 The one in the front is No Minwoo or Rose (his stage name when he was in Trax) or Minue. He left SM nearly at the same time as JYJ members. He has a band called The Midnight Romance now. And he is mostly active as an actor.
3:37 You should check out Junsu's Killing Voice. You'll hear more of that. That's at level 2 here. He is doing that at level 50 now.
yaaas this was great! hopefully balloons is next that was a smash hit in korea such a cute song
I got interested in TVXQ bcoz PURPLE LINE song. Bcoz I like the bass 😀 Then I watch their live performance video for this song and made me got into this fandom. 😊
Even my friend introduced TVXQ for first time is Mirotic MV, but I didn't get any intereted.
And everyone just "WHAT!??" becoz Yoochun's line "I really wanna touch my self" 😂😂😂
You can find in the comments in the MV 😛
I don’t know if it’s block, bit please reaction to Mama 2008 Tvxq presentation. It’s amazing.
Thanks for react to tvxq old songs ❤️❤️
Indeed this is really my addiction same as the title stage. They are doing the perfect stage. I watched it many times 🎉🎉
Omg. Please react to old Trax music. I recommend Paradox and Scorpio. It is that screamo noise music and SO GOOD.
so happy you're reacting to tvxq :D i've stanned a lot of groups in kpop, but they were the group that got me into kpop in the first place, and they'll always be my favorite.
also yes, tri-angle is iconic and unmatched. it's so beautifully campy
oh I'd recommend checking out their solo stuff! devil and chocolate by max are amazing, and I also love mine by jaejoong
Purple Line is my fav song since i was in elementary school 😂✌️
Triangle has been on my playlist for YEARS
Live action of bolero and love in the ice
Tri-angle is called that cuz it's 3 sm artists together, & the looks were so exaggerated cuz the concept was Visual Kei since SM has always been trying to crossover into different markets...
Traxx is a band, & I feel like no one knows/talks about them since they weren't made for the kpop market, they were a straight up rock band mostly made to get money from the Japanese market & were completely opposite to what sold/sells now in Korea, so yeah, their part is definitely in the song
Thankssss🥰
Please react to their ballad songs and acappella .
okay seriously you need to check junsu (xia) Flower mv!!
I miss TRAX so much. I recommend you check out their song Scorpio it’s fantastic, in both Korean and Japanese versions. Also Paradox. The main singer sings heavenly, I miss him singing. I love this song eventhough it was unexpected for the time. It’s also uncovered by anyone LOL no one has attempted to cover this collab 😂
Please react to Yunho's solo songs, you will like them, then react to Max, you will like Yunho, he dances a lot
YES! DONG BANG SHIN KI! Next react to JYJ
sm epic rocknroll phase HAHA tri-angle, rising sun, don't don, mama 🔥
The only reason why i wasnt as shocked when i 1st saw tri-angle was because i was already into j-rock..my lil bro was flabbergasted to see cosplaying singer😅
Thank you for your reaction!
Please check out U-KNOW YUNHO's solo MV.
"Vuja De" "NEXUS" short film, "Thank U"
He's a great entertainer!
Omg thank you for your reaction!!! You should check out Boa's works!! Her Japanese releases are AMAZING as well! And you should definitely check Don't Don - Super Junior with Changmin and TRAX
triangle was my first kpop song when i was a child back in the day~ i didn't know what it was but i liked it. that was the song that got me into kpop (what's actually really funny)
Me after seeing that the blond guy in triangle is Noh Minwoo 😂 !
TRAX❤
Just one of the fcng best things that happens with the hall industry
So love them
U should watch the live by Super Junior + MAX CHANGMIN + TRAX
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Thank you for watching the second generation of K-Pop. I suggest you also watch the most famous solo of the first generation, se7en and Rain
triangle is a classic! and so is purple line! i remember learning the choreo to both for a flashmob back when my knees could still take it 😂😂😂 something is part of their 15th year anniversary~^^ it’s also the song where tvxq had first danced with female backup dancers, for which the fans were really happy about. the chance of love is another favorite too! it does have an old school vibe to it but with the unique tvxq twist~
try and see if you can find a live performance for all the mvs you’ve reacted to and see how tvxq is just, if not more amazing when they perform live! another suggestion: watch their mbc gayo daejeon performance 😊
I love the song Tri-Angle so much! And it is part of the original song. 💗 And TRAX was the band. I loved the variety you get in the song. Watching Purple Line made me realize I listen to the Japanese version too much, since I feel like those lyrics pop out in my mind... 😅
TRAX GOAT, and No MinWoo sooo handsome ❤
Plss react Tvxq Before U Go mv dance ver. Your jaw will drop after watch the dance😂🤭
Thank you for reacting old songs of TVXQ .There are plenty of good songs that you will like it.Please react more of the old songs.
早期TVXQ出道時比較以視覺系的造型出現,後來到日本發展,也以日本當時本土流行的曲風先試市場反應,後來加入自己舞蹈的風格,成功站穩日本頂流地位❤~很喜歡您的reaction, 可以請你聽看看他們2018年日本NISSAN STADIUM演唱會的live(ruclips.net/video/w4P6-FmWIxc/видео.htmlsi=xdUmvvFqMfbAi06m),堪比教科書等級的表演,大雨滂沱下的"humanoids "🎉❤❤,及個人很喜歡的一首"trigger"的演唱會live歌曲🎊
Pls react more to tvxq love in the ice, bolero,wrong number and For JYJ in heaven, W and creation.
SOMETHING is a song in Tense Album dedicated for TVXQ's 10 years anniversary.
ruclips.net/video/zwbDMkJq8_M/видео.htmlsi=Hu-jQ2zZmxnUp47e
And The Chance of Love is released after Yunho and Changmin military enlistment
If you like the more rocky type of song maybe you could listen to Kardi? They were on immortal songs and performed an incredible version of Rising Sun!! I'd love to see a reaction to that🥰
Would you like some Boa recs? Shes considered the queen of kpop. Shes like their britney spears. I can give you some good mainstream and b- sides
Thank u for another tvxq reaction. Could you also please react to their live performance of love in the ice and bolero when they were still 5? Both are japanese
❤️🔥 ❤️🔥 ❤️🔥
THE FUN FACT
We're cassiopeia (TVXQ fans) hated and blame SM or stylist bcoz we didn't like tvxq styles (esp their hairstyles) in Triangle era.
But we just knew when Jaejoong and Junsu said that style they themselves (members) wanted 😂😂😂😂😂
We just knew after about 20 years 🤣🤣🤣🙈
17:08 Changmin’s hair and outfit reminds me of Daesung 😂
The TRAX is the band, one and only SM had😂
EXO - MAMA
FTISLAND - I PRAY
FTISLAND - TAKE ME NOW
XDINARY HEROES - STRAWBERRY CAKE
THE ROSE - ALIVE
THE ROSE - BACK TO ME
KIM YERI - RIVER
KIM YERI - LEGENDS
LMAO don’t let them know your next move

Plz take a look at Sistar. They are a 2nd gen girl group that having a comeback recently. Im watching their MV n just know that ur so gonna love them, so I come here for a comment real quick lol
Maybe Next Reaction could be
TVXQ - Wrong Number / TVXQ - Tonight / TVXQ - 믿어요 (Mideoyo) / TVXQ - Ballons
7:30 hello??? KAI’s part in “MAMA” by EXO tho
He’s screaming (just like that yeah) in it
퍼플라인 노래 아직도 듣기좋네
Thank You for reaction!! Btw, EXO had (I think Kai) growling like that in "MAMA", and Ateez's "Guerilla"featured scream like that one in "Tri-angle".
You definitely need to react to Boa ❤
Please react tvxq japan song too. Sorry my English is bad😅
You need to react to their 2008 MMFK? something like MAMA live performance
