"Tohoshinki" carries the meaning of "Gods rising from the east". They were named thus as they wanted to be able to establish for themselves a name worldwide while starting from Asia. The group debuted in Korea in February 2004, and quickly became one of the most popular artistes in Asia, where they also received a lot of support. Although they are modern singers, the group is able to harmonize their voices perfectly in acapella, and all the members have the capability of being lead singers.
Tohoshinki comprises of:
Changmin (Max) -1988/02/18
Yunho (U-Know)- 1986/02/06
Jaejoong (Hero)- 1986/01/26 (T/N: Jae's year was mistakenly put as 1982 in the original ad T_T)
Yoochun (Micky)- 1987/06/04
Junsu (Xiah)- 1987/01/01
Not only is the group active in Korea, they also introduced a new side to Jpop when they officially debuted in Japan in April 2005. The group sang in Japanese, and managed to gain popularity slowly but steadily. They eventually managed to hold a live tour, "Tohoshinki 2nd Live Tour 2007- Five In The Black", which was wildy popular and had fans fighting over the tickets. With this never-before-seen situation, the company added another 2 shows in Japan Budokan, for which tickets were sold out as well. Their performances were well-received and positively reviewed by many. The same summer, the group also took part in SOUL POWER 2007/ Naniwa SUMMIT, alongside artists such as Masayaki Suzuki, Gospellers and Skoop on Somebody, which received positive reviews. "Tohoshinki 3rd Live Tour 2008 ~T~" was held in the first part of 2008, which saw 150 thousand audience members, and the large-scale live tour ended successfully. The group's amazing popularity is not only evident in Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand, the five-member group will also continue their activities with the goal to acquire the world, with their base in Japan and Korea.
Their new album "The Secret Code" will be on sale on 25th March.
