By Cara Emmeline Garcia

If there's one thing to note about K-pop boy group TVXQ is that they'll bring their A-game no matter where they go.

That's why on their Beyond Live concert held on May 24, TVXQ members Yunho and Changmin did not disappoint their fans, Cassiopeia, as they showcased powerful performances in an innovative concert.

Titled “TVXQ! - Beyond the T,” the duo attracted their millions of fans from all over the world with their dynamic AR effects and interactive communication while singing hits like “Mirotic,” “The Chance of Love,” “Rising Sun,” and “Keep Your Head Down.”

In total, they sang 14 songs which also included the solo tracks of the two artists like Yunho's “Follow” and Changmin's latest single “Chocolate.”

'We Are T!'

Aside from their charming dance moves, augmented reality graphics were used to create real-like effects during their performances.

Graphics like a helicopter during “Keep Your Head Down,” haze during “Rising Sun,” and a huge whale swimming over their heads for the Japanese track “Asu Wa Kuru Kara” were seen.

They even upped the ante by answering fans' questions directly through the app and even chanted their slogan, “We are T,” together with the audience.

During the concert, TVXQ also celebrated its 15th anniversary since its debut in Japan that's why they performed some Japanese tracks.

Furthermore, leader Yunho expressed his happiness of seeing fans after a very long time. Changmin added how this experience made him feel like he's in the same space as the fans who are watching them.

TVXQ first debuted in 2003 and began as a five-member boy band composed of members Yunho, Changmin, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. But legal turmoil and internal conflict with the members in 2010 led the group to continue as a duo.

TVXQ is one of Korea's most successful music acts of their generation. They are often referred to as the “Asia's Stars” and “K-pop royalty” for their immense success and contributions to the Hallyu wave.

'Beyond Live' is part of SM Entertainment's digital concert in partnership with Naver's digital platform, VLive. TVXQ is among the many acts by the Korean agency that brought a successful show to its viewers including SuperM, WayV, NCT Dream, and NCT 127.

The next K-pop group to take the stage will be Super Junior who will hold their concert on May 31.
