TVXQ are well-known as legends in the K-pop industry. Debuting as 5 members in 2003, TVXQ quickly rose to success, becoming known for their incredible vocals and stage presence.
But the K-pop industry has changed significantly in the 20 years since TVXQ's golden era, and this has sparked discussion among netizens about whether debut-era TVXQ would succeed in today's industry. A popular post appeared this week and posed the question, "If TVXQ debuted now with all 5 members, would they be successful? Would they fit in with today's trends?" Netizens joined in to share their opinions.
For reference, this is a performance from debut-era TVXQ:
Netizens debated the question of whether young TVXQ could be successful in today's K-pop industry, with many saying they were talented enough to make it no matter what.
"They would definitely be popular. They're tall, dark-haired, and handsome.. and they're all good vocalists. There really aren't any groups like that these days"
"With those faces and those skills, they would be famous even if they debuted now"
"No matter what, they were so talented that they could've been successful in any time, 2000s or now"
"I'm not sure if they would fit in with the current K-pop style though. Back then, it was all about ballads. If TVXQ had to adapt to the current style, they wouldn't be able to fully showcase their talent..."
"Aren't they all tall, handsome, and have good individual skills?"
"Of course, they're a well-balanced group, and their skill level is higher than most groups these days"
"Visuals, physique, talent, and song quality... I don't think there's any other boy group who is as perfectly well-rounded as TVXQ"
"Even if they debuted now, they would still become legends"
"Back then, they were seen as really cute. But I think these days, they could've been even more popular, because they're so talented at performing"
"TVXQ could eat today's K-pop groups alive, they're so talented"
"I don't think there will ever be another group like TVXQ"
"Their skills are timeless"
"It's rare to find a group that sings as well as them"
"Even their debut song 'Hug' seems like it could do well today too"
"Looking at the state of male idols these days... I think TVXQ could succeed"
"For one thing, their skills are just amazing.. It's not even just that they sing well, but they also have emotion and sincerity..."
"Jaejoong, Changmin, and Yunho's visuals are undefeatable"
"I'd love to see another group like them debut now, but... Back then, there was no other group like TVXQ, and now, there still isn't..."
