TVXQ releases special album before Yunho enlists
By Kim Ji-soo
K-pop boy duo TVXQ will release a special album, “Rise as God,” Monday.
The album is a present for fans before U-know Yunho begins his military service on Tuesday.
The album will have 10 songs with solo pieces from the two serving as double title tracks, reports said. The special album is the duo’s first since “Spellbound,” released in February.
Max Changmin is also expected to begin his military service, but details are not yet firm.
All able-bodied South Korean men are subject to compulsory military service for about two years in a country that faces North Korea across a heavily fortified border.
