JYJ

Changmin & Yunho

On November 2010, an announcement was made that TVXQ will be returning as a duo consisting of Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho. The other three members filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment and later on won. Xiah Junsu, Hero Jeajoong and Micky Yoochun now call themselves as JYJ.

Though boy groups get disbanded or not as long as  they make music, love what they do and be good persons inside and out, fans will still be there for them and love them.

Kudos!
