TVXQ

Formed in 2003, TVXQ were originally a five-member group consisting of Hero Jaejoong, Max Changmin, Micky Yoochun, U-Know Yunho, and Xiah Junsu.

TVXQ made their debut with one of their biggest hits, "Hug". The group, which was signed to SM Entertainment, immediately became well-known in both South Korea and Japan, where they released Japanese language albums. After years of successful songs like "O"-Jung.Ban.Hap. and Rising Sun, the boy band finally ended up with two members, U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, as a result of a lawsuit brought by Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu against SM over their contracts with the company.
