❤Xiah JunSu❤
The first member to join was Kim Junsu. At the age of 12 he was brought into SM Entertainment through a televised talent search with Moon Hee Jun and Kangta from H.O.T. as judges.
His vocals won over the judges and procured him thorough training for the next six years.
After three years of training, he was supposed to debut, but puberty caused his voice to change and he was unable to sing until it ended after another three years.
After six years, he debuted as Xiah Junsu (Xiah is pronounced Shee-ah in Korean).
Xiah is the stage name that Kim himself chose, explaining to his fans that the name was short for "Asia", as Asia is pronounced "ah-shee-ah" in Korean.
"Xiah" would be an implication of his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but also a star recognized all throughout the continent.
❤U-Know YunHo❤
The group's second member, Jung Yunho, secured his spot in TVXQ through a dance competition in which he won first place.
After his selection he gained some experience in the midst of spotlight by being a rapper and backup dancer for K-pop singer Dana- who is now no longer a solo but a member in The Grace.
As a dancer, he accompanied many Korean singers, traveling to China as well. Jung debuted as U-know Yunho.
His chose his stage name as "U-know" from his Korean name "Yun Ho"; U-Know is pronounced "You know" in English.
However, it is meant to mean "Yunho 'Knows You'" in regard to his understanding of the other members as the leader of TVXQ.
❤Hero JaeJoong❤
Kim Jaejoong left his hometown in Chungnam to audition for SM Entertainment.
Having left the shelter of home, he experienced poverty and strife before becoming a celebrity.
Kim debuted as Youngwoong Jaejoong. Youngwoong is the Korean word for "hero".
His manager picked the name for him because he wanted him to be the hero of the music industry.
Kim took first place in an audition of 5000 people, both in best looking and best vocals.
❤Max ChangMin❤
Shim Changmin was grouped with the youngest participants in the audition.
Like Xiah Junsu, he impressed the judges with his powerful voice.
He joined the group under the name Choikang Changmin.
Choikang in Korean means "Most Powerful", or approximately, "the best"; "Max" became an international rendition of this name.
One year before the group's debut, the final member, Park Yoochun was added.
❤Micky YooChun❤
Park Yoochun grew up in Seoul and immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was in the sixth grade.
He lived in Fairfax, Virginia for roughly four years before he auditioned for Brothers Entertainment and was sent to Korea to SM Entertainment.
Micky was Park's English nickname when he lived in Virginia.
As the winner of a talent show, he was granted the opportunity to sign with SM Entertainment in Korea.
He now performs under the stage name Micky Yoochun.

◎ 第一屆SM Best選拔大會舞蹈獎冠軍
Setting foot on the Singapore stage for the first time yesterday, Korean boy band TVXQ brought the house down with their energetic dance sequences and charismatic stage presence.
The duo, Changmin and Yunho, were in Singapore over the weekend for their “TVXQ! Asia Fan Party”, performing to a 4,500-strong crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Fans cheered and screamed whenever their idols appeared on stage. They waved their red light sticks enthusiastically, synchronising to the beat of TVXQ’s songs, bringing the fan party to a high.
TVXQ debuted seven years ago as a five-member boy band, but made a successful comeback as a duo group with a studio album “Keep Your Head Down” in January this year.
Yunho thanked their fans for waiting for them and giving them their utmost support over the years, even during tough times.
Changmin said: “Seeing our fans in Singapore made us have a new resolution – we would want to come back to Singapore again.”
Singlish for TVXQ? ‘No problem… lah!’
Fans were tickled by TVXQ’s attempt on the use of Singlish.
When asked if they had picked up any Singlish from the local staff, Changmin tried saying “No problem… lah!” and “Alamak! So many fans are here today!”, drawing much cheers and laughters from the crowd.
While fans did not have a chance to go on stage to get upclose with their idols, five lucky fans were picked to each pose a question to TVXQ personally; one of them even grabbed the chance to say “I love you” to the duo.
Dubbed as the “Kings of the Hallyu Wave”, Changmin and Yunho performed a total of six songs, including a medley of their earlier hit songs “The Way U Are” and “Mirotic”.
As much as the two-hour fan party was also a showcase of the duo’s strong stage performances, fans did not mind the lack of fan service. They echoed on almost every song performed, showing their practical support to their idols’ live performance.
Great Success with the First Fan Party in Singapore!
TVXQ!, who has been touring in Asia, ended fan party in Singapore in great success following Beijing.
‘TVXQ! Asia Fan Party 2011 in Singapore’ was held at the largest indoor venue in Singapore, Singapore Indoor Stadium, on the 4th at 7:00 p.m. (local time) and received an explosive response from local fans.
Especially, since this was the first time for TVXQ! to visit Singapore, on the 3rd, Changi Airport was full of local fans who gathered at the airport to see TVXQ!. As TVXQ! appeared at the gate, fans shouted and began clicking the shutter of their cameras.
Also, TVXQ! had interview with the media such as Wan Bao, U Weekly, XINMSN, etc. prior to the fan party and proved local media’s high interest in TVXQ!.
With the passionate and powerful stages of ‘MAXIMUM’, ‘Rising Sun’, ‘Before U Go,’ etc., TVXQ! thrilled the audiences at this fan party. And also, TVXQ! had a meaningful time by communicating with fans through various sessions including quiz, question and answer, talk, watching video message made by fans.
Meanwhile, TVXQ! is scheduled to hold a fan party in Shanghai, China on the 9th.
