Introduction
Tohoshinki has another name that is "tvxq". They are five people, and they are from Korea. Their singing and dancing are great, so they have a high popularity among young people in Korea. They are, so to speak, SMAP in Japan. Each can main vocal all of them, and their chorus is so nice!!
origin of name
Japan, they are called "tohoshinki". If I write with kanji, it's "東方神起". Their names are different by country that the way to call name. For example, in Korea, they are called "Tong Vfang Xien Qi" so it for "TVXQ". In China, they are called "Dong Bang Shin Ki ", so it for "DBSK". Names are different, but these mean same group.
background of tohoshinki(tvxq)
Tvxq are Yunho, Changmin, Jejung, Yuchun and Junsu. Yunho and Jejung are same old, and they are the oldest of the five, and then Changmin is the youngest. Yonho and Jejung are 24 years old. Yuchun and Junsu are 23 years old. Changmin is 22 years old. Their average stature is over 180cm. They are good at Japanese, and they look up to "The Gospellers", so they co-stared with The Gospellers. When I listened to co-stared song, I was moved. Tvxq made them debut on the world of Korean music in 2004. Their debut single was "Hug", and this song was sold like fun. In Japan, they came out in 2005, and their debut song is "Stay With Me Tonight". However, they weren’t known then in Japan.
present condition
Now, tvxq suspending activity, because Jejung, Yuchun and Junsu accused a theatrical agency in Korea of injects contract. It is terrible that the substance of contract for them. They can't activity all through they are doing individual activity. Yunho will take part in concert that will hold a public performance in honor of the late Michael Jackson. Changmin and Yuchun will try to an actor in Korea, and Jejung also trying to an actor in Japan. Junsu will go solo in Japan.

There are eight hundreds thousand people in Cassiopeia. Secondly, They are a group that were took a most photographs all over the world. Its amount to five hundred million sheets!!
Conclusion
When they debut in Japan, they were confused on difference of treatment Japan and Korea. In Korea, they were great singer, but they sang at small stage of region in Japan. In addition, they couldn't speak Japanese well. Whatever they hard, they didn't give up so they gained publicity in Japan. I hope that they song together and comeback!!
My favorite member is Jejung!! He is so cool and very good at cooking. I have gone their concert two times before. And so, I will go their concert on June 5. If you want to get this ticket, it is all but impossible X(
