[News] TVXQ to unveil title track from new album on Jan 3rd
TVXQ will unveil the title track from their upcoming album next week ahead of their comeback, according to their agency SM Entertainment on Thursday.
SM announced in a press release that TVXQ will reveal the song "Keep Your Head Down" on January 3 on various online music sites, two days before their album of the same name goes on sale, while the teaser video for the song will be available on their official website and YouTube channel tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the boys revealed two versions of a teaser video, in the format of a commercial, which aired for the first time on December 29 during SBS' "Gayo Daejun" and MBC's Entertainment Awards. It will be shown on other year-end programs on major Korean networks till tomorrow.
TVXQ, formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejung, Micky Yuchun, Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, is known as one of the leading dance groups in the K-pop market since making their debut in 2004.
However, after disputing with agency SM Entertainment over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Jaejung, Yuchun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ.
TVXQ is now a duo with members Changmin and Yunho, who are set to make their comeback to their music scene with a new album “Keep Your Head Down” whose special edition will hit stores on January 5 and the regular version a week later. The same album is also set for release in Japan on January 26.

[News] Tickets sold out for Park Jung Min's fan meeting
Tickets for singer Park Jung-min’s fan meeting sold out in ten minutes of going on sale, announced his agency CNR Media on Wednesday.
According to CNR, tickets for Park Jung-min’s first exclusive showcase event in Korea slated for January 22 at 7 p.m. in the Dome Art hall in Children’s Grand Park, sold out in 10 minutes of reservations opening on Tuesday.
Park, who was set to release his first album in last November, delayed the date to next year due to the nation being in a state of mourning after North Korea unexpectedly shelled South Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island the same month, taking the lives of two soldiers and two civilians among other casualties caused.
Park's first solo album “Not Alone” is now set to go on sale on January 20 of next year.
Park debuted as one of the members in boy band SS501 along with Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Kyu-jong, Heo Young-saeng and Kim Hyung-jun in 2005. He signed with CNR media in August to continue with his singing career after their contract with DSP Media expired in June this year.
His first exclusive fan meeting in Osaka and Tokyo in Japan held on December 22 and 23 respectively, attracted some 7,000 fans.
