With almost a decade under their belts, the group has proven themselves time and time again in the ever-changing Korean pop world by crafting new sounds, constructing imaginative live shows -- weathering member changes along the way -- to sell millions of singles and albums to try and satiate their hugely dedicated fanbase. 东方神起!K-POP的帝王，出道近十年的他们，在千变万化的韩国流行乐界中，以全新的音 乐不断证明自己的实力。即使经历了成员变动风波，仍打造出幻想的现场表演，卖出上百 万张单曲和专辑，竭力满足广大的死忠歌迷。 TVXQ! consists of Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, actively promoted as a duo since 2011. In that time frame, the group has racked up two No. 1 singles ("Superstar" and "Still") on the Japan Hot 100 plus two No. 2 singles ("Winter Rose" and "Android"). 自2011年起，东方神起由Max昌珉和U-Know允浩以二人组合积极活动。在这段时间里，他 们取得了两次Japan Hot 100的第一名("Superstar"、"Still") ，以及两次排行第二名 ("Winter Rose"、"Android")的成绩 (注: Japan Hot 100是由Billboard和阪神CONTENTS LINK联合运营的日本单曲排行榜，是 Billboard在日本的音乐排行榜系列——「Billboard JAPAN」的一部分。 来源: 维基百科) While TVXQ! has yet to hit the American market on their own like fellow K-pop acts BIGBANG, 2NE1, or their SM Entertainment labelmates Girls' Generation, the boys have begun planting seeds. The two performed at the 2011 SMTown showcase featuring labelmates BoA, Super Junior, f(x), SHINee, and more. In addition, they headlined the "Google" stop of the MBC Korean Music Wave show in San Francisco (with Wonder Girls, Kara, MBLAQ, SISTAR, and others) and the Billboard KPOP Masters Concert in Las Vegas. 虽然东方神起还未像其他K-pop团体 BIGBANG、2NE1、或同属SME经纪公司的少女时代一样 打进美国市场，他们早已开始耕耘。2011年两人便和同家公司的艺人BoA, Super Junior, f(x), SHINee等艺人共同举行SMT家族演唱会，同时也是Google和MBC共同合作的韩 流演唱会的主要团体(Wonder Girls, Kara, MBLAQ, SISTAR等人演出)，并参与了在拉斯维 加斯举办的Billboard KPOP Masters Concert。 The boys made a comeback this fall with their new "Catch Me" album (which peaked at No. 6 on the World Albums chart in October) featuring the K-Pop Hot 100 No. 25 hit single of the same name. Most recently, they repackaged the set with two new tracks including new single "Humanoids" and "Here I Stand." The duo recently began touring (for the first time in four years) with their TVXQ! LIVE WORLD TOUR 'Catch Me,' holding a show in Korea's capital of Seoul with more dates to come. 今年秋天他们带着新专辑"Catch Me"回归，十月时在世界专辑排行榜中排行第六， 同名 单曲於K-Pop Hot 100排行榜位居第25名。最近改版专辑收录了两首歌"Humanoids"和 "Here I Stand。睽违四年，两人从韩国的首都首尔为出发点，展开TVXQ! LIVE WORLD TOUR 'Catch Me' 世界巡回。 Max and U-Know took some time to answer questions for Billboard readers in this exclusive Q&A session. Check out which song they think best represents them, who they look up to musically, and where they may come to see their fans next. 独家Q&A时间，Max和U-Know为了"告示牌(Billboard)"的读者回答了一些问题。来看看他 们觉得哪首歌最能代表东方神起、谁是最尊敬的音乐人、接下来会到哪见歌迷。 HUMANOINDS MV http://youtu.be/XAC5KRMyiQk Billboard: Hello Max and U-Know!
