1.[+230, -15] If SM or JYJ took a step back, TVXQ would still bethe best group in Korea. We will never have a group like them

2.[+218, -7] TVXQ truly was amazingly big, they were everywhere. Doubt we'll ever get another group like them againㅠ

3.[+175, -12]TVXQ was such a precious group... I wasn't a fan but even I admit that there wasn't any other group in existence with that kind of talent, potential, and looks. They were great at singing... such a big loss

4.[+74, 0] I like TVXQ as they are now but if they were still five, they'd truly be a group no one could touch 

5.[+70, 0] SS501 is often called the rival to TVXQ but TVXQ was still a lot bigger... they were really a huge wall

6.[+68, 0] TVXQ and Bigbang are one of a few groups where their songs aren't embarrassing to listen to no matter how much time has passed. Mirotic is still another level

7.[+38, 0] I don't like male idols but considering the talent and visuals, TVXQ was a wall

8.[+38, 0] (High Cut) Honorable Song: "TVXQ's 'Hug'. The one song in SM's history that was able to combine public interest + fandom support. There has never been a more perfect debut song in the history of idols."

9.[+36, 0] TVXQ debuted when idols were about to go out and blew life back into the idol market. Everyone looks and feels excited. They sing well. Honestly, I think they were the best among the idol groups

10.[+35, 0] Nowadays kids think TVXQ weren't popular back then because they are not so good at digital charts but TVXQ debuted in the year when there was no digital charts. Even Melon did not exist when TVXQ released their national hits like Hug.

11.[+34, -2] Kids these days probably don't know how big SS501 used to be. They were the second most popular after TVXQ back in the day.

12.[30, 0] If the five were still together, TVXQ would still be the top group. Not one member lacks in the vocal , dance, acting, or looks department. They're the best creation out of kpop. There was a huge gap between them and the other groups. 

13.[+19, 0] SS501 was quite popular during TVXQ days. TVXQ was so popular. When I was in middle school, TVXQ and SS501 was all the rage ㅋㅋㅋ Cassiopeias and Triple S

14.[+18, 0] When everyone around me was a TVXQ fan, I liked 501.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. I miss the days of TVXQ vs SS501. If you asked 10 people on the street which group they like, 9 of them would say TVXQ

15.[+18, 0] Reading stuff like this makes me realize time flies so fast. I miss 5VXQ... I want to be the bed in your room for just a day, oh babyyyy

16.[+15, 0] What made TVXQ special was their talents. In the other groups, any member has either visual or dance skill... either dance skill or vocal skill... either vocal skill or visual... TVXQ's each member had all these skills. Actually TVXQ's dance skills were much better than 2PM but the experts favored 2PM for their acrobatic dance^^
