Idol group JYJ has officially started their third Japan dome tour "Ichigo Ichie," on November 18. What the Japanese fans did not expect was the trio singing "Begin" which was one of their songs when they promoted as the original five-member TVXQ, also known as Tohoshinki in Japan.
JYJ ended the show with an emotional atmosphere singing the song, which made some fans break into tears. In a clip that surfaced online showing the emotional performance of the group, fans can be heard weeping due to emotions evoked by the memories brought by the song.
"Begin" was TVXQ's sixth single, which was released in 2006 after the group's fourth Japan tour. Koreaboo noted that since the group's split in 2009, it seems there are still scars in their hearts.
JYJ member Jaejoong took to Twitter to express his thoughts on their performance. "Don't cry... Don't cry.... We thought to keep it in between us 3 members," he wrote. "It was difficult, since we thought that letting you hear a good song was the most important. We'll work hard tomorrow, so passionately! More than ever, let's play passionately!"
Allkpop noted that international fans online were pleasantly surprised that the trio had sung the song despite seemingly unsettled issues with remaining two members of TVXQ.
A fan wrote, "Though I'm certain a reunion will never happen, I'm always happy to see JYJ giving back to the fans with the acknowledgment of, yes, they were in TVXQ."
O the topic of possible reunion, it was reported recently that JYJ's Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu as well as current TVXQ duo Yunho and Changmin are reportedly gracing the premiere of movie "Big Match" where the idols will be supporting two cast members who are from the two groups' respective agencies.
While it is not yet confirmed if the idols are indeed attending the event, TVXQ fans are excited to see the five idols in one event after their controversial split back in 2009.
