Netizens look back on TVXQ's legendary era when fans almost fled despite their massive popularity

AKP STAFF

Netizens cannot help but bring back this legendary era of TVXQ.

On an online forum, a netizen uploaded a post titled "The era when TVXQ's popularity soared and fans experienced a momentary flight." Nostalgically referring to the group's notorious 'Tri-Angle' phase, the post was about the period where the group’s extreme hairstyles had fans contemplating a temporary 'fandom vacation'.

Recognized widely at this point, this notorious epoch of TVXQ was indeed what netizens anticipated upon seeing the post. In the content, the uploader wrote, "It's that concept you all expect. Hairstyles, make-up and outfit coordination that baffled and amazed in equal measure. Most Cassiopeias (TVXQ’s fan club) were school students then, so shocked that they temporarily had to leave the fandom lololololol."

Hilariously, the uploader added: "The song has no fault. The song is great."

The post further included comparison images showcasing the striking transformation from their pre 'Tri-Angle' phase.

Some legendary fan reactions include:

"I will never not be shocked by this hair"
"I think had an idol group promoted like this today the fandom would have sent out a protest truck"
"I wonder how many hours it took them..."
"My love as a fan carried me through some hard times"
"My family member literally cried after watching their performance with this style"
"I tried to ignore the styling as much as possible and focused on the song lmao"
"I am glad I survived this era"
"Good song though lmao"

"I am sorry but I still entered the fandom during this era lmao thanks to Changmin"

"There was a running joke that blonde Junsu looked like a chicken..."
"Why do their facial expressions look so depressed lmao"

"That famous YouTube comment of Changmin being sad and becoming ★TL instead of OTL..."

What are some of your legendary comments?

Max Changmin really got it bad.


The hair stylist just woke up one day and decided to choose violence.
