The regular, full-length edition of TVXQ’s album “Keep Your Head Down” will go on sale starting tomorrow, according to the group’s agency SM Entertainment.
SM said through a press release Tuesday that the upcoming version, set for release on January 12, will feature a total of 11 tracks, one track added to the ten songs from the special version of the boys' album which hit stores on January 5.
The new track, a cheerful song named “JOURNEY,” expresses the excitement and anticipation felt from taking off on a journey with one's lover. Seohyun from Girls’ Generation, managed under SM as well, did a featuring for the new piece.
The soon-to-be-released album will also sport a jacket featuring new images of TVXQ, separate from those in the 100-page photo book that came with the special album.
The two-member group had given their comeback performance for their title track "Why" from the new record in several weekly live music programs last week, putting an end to their two year-long hiatus.
TVXQ was formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejung, Micky Yuchun, Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, known as one of the leading dance groups in the K-pop market since making their debut in 2004.
However, after disputing with agency SM over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Jaejung, Yuchun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ. TVXQ is now a duo with members Changmin and Yunho.
