Because of Jaejoong, SM eventually scouted Taeyong and Sungchan for kinda having similar looks as he does. Bless him for being one of SM’s favorite faces because we got to see more variations of him afterwards. Also, this song perfectly embodies SM’s own little genre back in the late 90s up to early 10s called SMP (SM Performance,) which had the loud music, the crazy sounds, the deep lyrics criticizing society, etc. Other examples are H.O.T’s I-yah, TVXQ’s O-Jung.Ban.Hap, TVXQ/BoA/TRAX’s Tri-Angle, Super Junior’s Don’t Don, and EXO’s MAMA. And yup, my years as a Cassiopeia prepared me well to be a Czennie with all the glorious noise that 127 puts out.

Me watching their visual be like: "SO THIS IS WHAT EYES MADE FOR😍TO ADMIRE THESE BEAUTIFUL FACE🥰💗💗💗💗

[@aeling642]

For me this is one of the best kpop songs EVER. This song is a MONSTER and I love every second if it. One of the most played songs on my playlist.

[@Blue-dc3rh]

JX (Junsu and Jaejoong, TVXQ's main vocalists) recently performed this song together at their concert, and they sounded so amazing! They're finally able to sing their songs after a decade of blacklisting

[@laraibahmed3090]

Love this track! Rising sun has always sounded absolutely epic!

[@maliii266]

You guys definitely have to check out the MV for Tri-Angle Extended Ver. feat. BoA & TRAX!

[@vadalma_dorka]

Can’t upvote this enough!! Please please please!

[@sunshineonmymind7055]

Yayyyy I'm so happy my rec made it! Y'all need to dedicate a throwback Thursday to TVXQ! at some point! They have plenty of phenomenal songs that are way too iconic for stream lol (and, yes, Kerry, Jaejoong IS too pretty hehe)

[@Backinmyjaejoongdays]

My men !!!!! Still unbeatable, the best creation of SM

[@allysonwolf5721]

What about EXO? NCT? Super Junior?

[@jlvv_1]

​@@allysonwolf5721 EXO has the best vocal line (Chen, Baekhyun, D.O are unbeatable). While as a whole group, TVXQ is very fulfilling.. just like Baekhyun said, TVXQ only has 5 members but they're so complete as artist

[@mashokd1304]

​@@allysonwolf5721no one can come close to TVXQ as 5 in terms of vocals both in techniques and vocal tone but yeah all these groups has crazy vocalists

[@salitm4215]

​@@jlvv_1 where I find that Baekhyun said about TVXQ OT5 pls? I'm a OT5 BIGBIGFANS.

[@jlvv_1]

@salitm4215 sorry I can't remember.. it's during early days of exo..and not format event. But I don't remember which video

[@mirvale87]

Jaejoong'a stage name was Hero ❤️ kerry you're right.

[@Blue-dc3rh]

Their stage names are Hero, Xia, Max, Micky and U-Know

[@hadascohen-f5o]

hey, a guide the forgotten legacy of k-pop legends (TVXQ's JaeSu) FULL

[@damiratulegenova4315]

the gasp Kerry gasped the second she saw Jaejoong. I mean same. his appearance had such an impact on SM they just went out there looking for boys similar to him for the next 20 years

[@eleonorestuart4089]

I give props to Max and Yunho for keeping this great group together!

[@R.Islam.A]

As you noticed, Jaejoong Hero was not dancing, but rather there was someone wearing a mask instead of him, because at that time he suffered an injury to his knee that required him to be carried and undergo surgery, and he even spent a while walking on crutches.

[@JjPDswife304]

Thank you for reacting to TVXQ! Looking forward to more! I'm a Moa-Cassie :))

[@Jessi_n_Penepolee]

In retrospect, I understand why everything went the way it did. I am an EXOL for life for sure. BUT, one thing is certain... had TVXQ stayed 5, they'd have ruled the kpop world and set such an early standard... these 5 were absolute perfection. World class 100%, no question

[@alittleaboutalot1602]

Simon looks like he's having a coming to Jesus moment with this song hahaha exactly as it should be 😂😂 ❤❤ MORE TVXQ

[@SilverSword6]

Y’all’s faces crack me up. 😂 I hope you get to hear more TVXQ, I love them a lot.

[@seungkwnn]

the poetic and somewhat contemporary lyrics paired with aggressive vocals and genre-switching is def an early SM/kpop thing. i know there are a few h.o.t songs that touch on serious topics, like "i yah!" (released in '99) which laments the treatment of children in SK after a tragic incident where 23 kindergartners' lives were lost due to the negligence of adults. other tvxq title tracks that are similar to rising sun are tri-angle and o-jung.ban.hap!!

[@ClariJholic]

Triangle next? That's their Bohemian Rhapsody actually Lol Also Jaejoong as a bias is a good choice ☺️!

[@Enferis-wm6vm]

RISINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Fun Fact: This song has been featured in the Fast & Furious movie Also Jaejoong was injured during the making of this MV. So they put a dancer in a mask as his stand-in in some parts.

[@Miraiwhitelock]

You guys should really react to more of their OT5 live performances. Watching them live is such an experience. One of my personal fav is the song called 'Bolero': kzbin.info/www/bejne/inOqonhuab91hac

[@mashokd1304]

Love in the ice Live at tokyo dome is legendary... Hope you guys check it out someday..

[@revafarleyleebiit]

For me i love this. I love just an assault on the ears, but in a good way for me. The lyrics, translated well, are actually interesting. That super abrupt stop after the last chorus of rising suuuuun, is so abrupt like

[@newnumber2721]

Thanksss please react more TVXQ 🥰🥰🥰 and “ Bolero live at Tokyo Dome “ is the masterpiece!!!

[@4eyesinthecorner399]

Finally!! I’ve been waiting for you to experience it in its full glory and when the video is over 25 minutes long you know it’s had an impact. I also know I’ve recommended this quite a lot but now you’ve seen Rising Sun you have to watch Tri-Angle which is tvxq’s song with trax and boa and is this kind of vibe but cranked up tenfold. (Also, a Cassiopeia-tiny here!)

[@baekhyunbambi]

yeees❤❤ more tvxq reaction please их дискография потрясающая❤

[@R.Islam.A]

I really like your reaction to tvxq 😂 you have amazed by them ❤ please react to all the old songs to tvxq when they were all the five members

[@Hope55328]

This song is kpop

[@birdyashiro1226]

Here we go, the top of the kpop mountain--东方神起 aka TVFXQ.

[@joannafisher3391]

SM losing Jaejoong was a killer he was the ten plate of a lot of there idols to follow definitely Taeyong from 127 . But not one of them can duplicate that fantastic voice. TVXQ as the 5 were unbeatable vocal wise best of the best

[@alittleaboutalot1602]

You've honestly seen nothing yet compared to Tri-Angle 😂 that one is definitely next ❤

[@MANEEMIN]

FYI, some live version had different styles at bridge part. I'm not sure how many version but I've seen the OT5 metal rock and the duo grooving style.

[@milindawilson9175]

"Rising Sun" came out in 2005, about a month before Super Junior debuted with their song "Twins (Knock Out)" -- this song makes a lot more sense when you consider what SM's other groups, and Kpop groups in general, were doing around this time -- the hard rock, grunge vibe was just the style of music that SM and the Kpop industry was playing around with back then, the whole song, MV and style was very on trend. Yes, TVXQ was formed during the era when SM thought all the members needed stage names that were used alongside their real names*. Therefore, the members of TVXQ are named: Jaejoong/Hero, Yunho/U-Know, Yoochun/Micky, Junsu/Xia and Changmin/Max. (Yunho/U-Know and Changmin/Max as members of TVXQ still use their stage names along with their real names; and Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu/Xia became JYJ. Junsu continues to go by the stage name Xia as a solo artist and as a member of JX.) *SM rock band TRAX, which debuted in 2004, also had crazy stage names when they first debuted: Typhoon Jay (vocals), Rose Minwoo (drums, percussion), Attack Jungwoo (bass guitar), and Xmas Jungmo (guitar, bass guitar). But over the years as members left and they rebranded themselves several times, they dropped the use of their stage names. "Rising Sun" is a classic and a lot of artists and groups have covered the song over the years. Plus, it's used in a lot of things, so you'll probably start to notice it being used in things you watch. And it's one of those songs that defines who TVXQ are, so when people talk about them or they perform anywhere they usually play this song. To see what I mean, check out their 2023 MAMA performance of "Rising Sun", where they have an epic collaboration stage with RIIZE, as part of TVXQ's legend performance in celebration of their 20th anniversary, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYmYZotvlrNrl5I. (I know you might not be able to react to it, but you really need to check it out, even if it's just on your own time.) Also check out RIIZE's dance practice/performance video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTSgmtngcmDhrc. Fun fact: Jaejoong and Junsu (Xia) just recently rebranded themselves and started performing together under the group name JX. JX even has their own KZbin channel. And they also just recently performed "Rising Sun" live in concert.

[@totheworld_NCTot25]

THIS was literally my reaction to 'Feel My Rhythm' by Red Velvet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm so confused like... WHAT'S GOING ON?!?! 😵‍💫😵The most bizarre music video I've ever seen!

[@sigitmargiadi9390]

TVXQ? better watch them live..they were vocal gods in kpop. More TVXQ song please..like Bolero, Love in the ice, Dont say goodbye, Mirotic and many more..

[@maliii266]

U-Know Yunho, Hero Jaejoong, Max Changmin, Micky Yoochun & Xia Junsu 😊

[@chisitopwark]

MY SONGGG 😭 The shinkis are on another level, hope you can react to more of them

[@R.Islam.A]

You should reaction to Hero Jaejoong from tvxq ❤ his vocal is the best in the K-pop ❤and also his visual and personality ❤ you will be addicted of him ❤

[@april_lynne93]

This reaction was amazing 😂❤

[@정필-n6m]

그당시 최강창민(max) 춤추면서 고음 미쳤었다.

[@jlvv_1]

Idk if you have reacted to their first MV "HUG"... the live perf is so good. Riize just recently covered it as well

[@mercurycures8204]

Idk man this song makes complete sense to me

[@emma-kati]

Cassiopeiatiny! I love how you were left almost speechless 😂 it’s not exactly a common occurrence on this channel. This song goes so hard! And is so weird in that very sm way. Before mirotic rising sun was THE tvxq song. And yes it’s Hero Jaejoong, just like Max Changmin or U-know Yunho. They all had two part stage names. Jaejoong's name has a really funny story too, Junsu and daesung talked about it on zip daesung 😂 Jaejoong btw is known as “SM's first love” and you can definitely see the influence his looks had on sm's visual ideals. Changmin looks young because he is young, seventeen if I remember correctly, the song is from 2005 so if my maths are mathing then he should be around that age. The bowl cut does not help the baby face at all. But compared to many of their other mvs the styling in this isn’t bad, even if Jaejoong looks like every jpop idol my friend was in love with in 2012 with that feathery hair. At least it’s not triangle… Thank you for the very entertaining reaction as always!

[@sani9839]

Legendary song ! When I first heard the beginning of the song it reminded me of back in '96 Chemical Brothers " Setting Sun" with Noel Gallagher on vocals

[@jarnopadiachy]

Simon is losing his mind with this one, you love to see it, and I think your right lee sooman was like, I like weird sounds let's make an entire group that makes weird sounding music but more modern

[@hexl.9105]

Please react to Tonight by TVXQ 😍✨

[@greywhale]

Something funny I just realized. Max singing on the rooftop is the same place Siwon was singing during Miracle 😂 and then Both TVXQ dance break stage and the Miracle stage at the end of the MV are also the same place hahaha 🤣 and I find it so funny because Rising Sun and Miracle are on 2 completely ends of a spectrum 🤣🤣.

[@mirvale87]

The bird learned that got7 lost 🤣💚 then realised midfall that life goes on~

[@mirvale87]

Btw i love this spng. This was my second kpop song ever

[@maliii266]

I love this song so much!

[@alittleaboutalot1602]

CASSIOPEIATINY ❤❤

[@baekhyunbambi]

It would be great if you would react to live performances, they are much better than recordings.❤

[@allysonwolf5721]

This was KPOP!!!!!! If you don't understand don't react to the old kpop.

[@2yify]

Do triangle now!!
