For the first time in 15 years, singer/musical actor Kim Junsu appeared as a guest on the MBC talk show 'Radio Star', accompanied by Kim Kyung Il, Gabi, and Lee Chang Ho

On this episode, Kim Junsu confessed a secret he'd been hiding about TVXQ's "Mirotic" choreography. According to Junsu, the debut of a new rival in the K-Pop industry, Big Bang, put much pressure on TVXQ at the time to maintain their peak popularity. As a result, the company chose the song "Mirotic" and hired 5 different choreography teams to each come up with the choreography for the legendary K-Pop hit, then used only the best moves from each submission. 

Hearing this, Gabi mentioned, "This is a tactic that companies use now." Junsu added on, "Back then, I think it was the first time that any company tried something like it." 

However, the group and the company felt that the choreography still needed a "killing point". Junsu confessed that the well-known "killing point" move of "Mirotic", the "chin-rest" move, was created by him. Impressed by Junsu's confession, the 'Radio Star' MCs asked the idol star to perform a short snippet of the "Mirotic" dance. 

Additionally on this episode, Junsu treated many viewers at home to a trip down memory lane by singing short snippets of "Hug" and "O-正.反.合.". For his ending performance, Kim Junsu sang "Uphill Road" originally by Yoon Jong Shin and Jung In

"Hug":

"O-正.反.合.":
