TVXQ responds to the Backstreet Boys' remarks

Posted by lawlietta4 pts Friday, February 19, 2010

Yesterday, we got to hear the Backstreet Boys' take on TVXQ; today, TVXQ exchanged their side of their encounter with the "living legends" as well. During a recent program recording at a Japanese broadcasting station, TVXQ recounted their meeting with the Backstreet Boys at an episode of Japanese Fuju TV's Music Fair 21 last year. "[When they met us,] the Backstreet Boys asked, 'How long have you guys been performing?' and we answered, 'Around six years,'" Yoochun revealed. He continued, "They then asked us, 'Are you going to perform together for long?' We replied, 'We'd like to continue performing together forever. That's part of the reason why we're concentrating with our best efforts right now." Yunho then added, "The Boys then said, 'This is interesting ... you remind us of our past days,'" presumably referring to the height of the Backstreet Boys' careers & popularity. The Boys reportedly proceeded to praise TVXQ for their excellent vocal talent. After the report connecting these two groups was released yesterday, many fans jumped up to defend TVXQ in response to the comparison. However, we must remember that the Backstreet Boys arguably paved the way for the boy band trend worldwide, including groups before TVXQ's time. Thanks to suteffani for the tip!
