The three members of TVXQ filed a lawsuit in mid-2009 against their South Korean record label, SM Entertainment, arguing that the 13-year length and structure of their exclusive contracts as well as the terms of profit distribution were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court in October, 2009 ruled in their favor on this matter.
Following the hiatus of TVXQ, the three member group was announced under the name of 'JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN' in April 2010 by Rhythm Zone. The trio kicked off their activities with a Japan Tour ‘THANKSGIVING LIVE IN DOME’ in May and June and appearances at the annual A-nation lives in Japan during the summer. The trio also released a personal travel documentary of all three members titled ‘3HREE VOICES’ and a mini- album, 'The…'.
In September 2010, Avex Entertainment announced the suspension all of JYJ's Japanese activities. Avex claims this stems from issues the label had with the president of the group's Korean management, C-JeS Entertainment.[4] JYJ stated it was a conflict over new terms demanded by Avex in contract renegotiation.
The group released their English-language global debut album, The Beginning, under the name 'JYJ' in October 2010. A worldwide album showcase tour was announced, touring Southeast Asia cities as well as the United States. A 2-day special concert ‘JYJ Worldwide Concert in Seoul’ was held at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium from November 27-28 after the World Showcase. They were further met with positive feedback following the release of The Beginning. JYJ was featured on the cover of Billboard magazine and ranked by its readers as the 5th top album of 2010.
JYJ followed up in January 2011 with another EP in the format of a "Music Essay" entitled "Their Rooms "Our Story".
In the spring of 2011, JYJ launched their first Worldwide Tour as a group with concerts held in Thailand, Taiwan, China, Canada, and the United States. In addition, JYJ held 2 rounds of a special charity concert in Toyko to benefit those affected by the Tōhoku Earthquake and two special encore concert performances in South Korea.
After a break for the members' individual activities, JYJ released their second group album and first Korean language album entitled "In Heaven" in September 2011.
JYJ extended their first Worldwide Tour in October & November of 2011 by adding European stops in Barcelona and Berlin and holding two rounds of a larger Japanese concert at Hitachinaka.

The lyrics to JYJ's song W speak about a longing for a loved one who isn't physically present, and how their absence has made the singer cherish their relationship even more. The first verse speaks of the stars in the night sky, and how they seem to be drawing out a picture that isn't mere coincidence. The singer believes that the fact that they can still feel their loved one's presence even when apart is proof that their love isn't based on chance, but something deeper. The second verse speaks of how the loved one's absence has made their presence all the more important, and how the singer thinks of them every time they close their eyes. The chorus repeats the belief that they will meet again someday, and that the singer will continue to hold on to the loved one no matter what the future holds.
The lyrics of W are reflective of the theme of separation and longing, which is a common thread in many of JYJ's songs. The use of imagery, like that of the stars in the night sky, adds to the poetry of the song and gives it a dreamy quality. The song's emphasis on the importance of cherishing the moments spent together, and the faith that they will meet again in the future, gives it a hopeful and optimistic feel despite the sense of longing that permeates the lyrics.

두 명의 오빠들과 팬클럽 카시오페아를
생각하며 작사&작곡했을텐데
이 노래를 부르는 세 명의
오빠들은 더 애틋하고 아프고 아련하게 불렀을테니
팬으로써는 슬프고 눈물이 나는 노래.
한국에서는 음원 없고
일본에서만 음원 사서 들을 수 있는 노래.
언젠가 함께 다섯명이 다섯배로
우리들에게 꼭 한국어 번역되어 감동을
들려주기를 바라면서.....

하 대미친....저때 다들 성대 짱짱하고 특유의 청년같은? 창법으로 음악적 기량 정점 찍었을 때라 너무너무 아깝다. 진짜진짜 찬란하게 빛나는데.... 물론 가수활동 계속한 둘은 개인역량이 더 발전하긴 했겠지만, 엄연히 말하면 그건 솔로로서 빛나는 역량이고 개인적인 스타일을 확립하도록 고유 음색/기교나 디테일적인 면에 힘이 실렸다면, 서로 어우러지게 깔끔담백+직선적으로 부르는, 예전 그룹시절부터 알아온 그 느낌과 감정선의 연장선에서는 이때 최고 정점 찍은듯. 한 그룹이 만들어낼 수 있는 역량으로써 이것의 다음 레벨이 있을지, 감히 상상할 수가 없을 정도로. 특히 성대 짱짱해진거 미르끼.....전에 다소 흐물흐물했던 창법과 비교하면 이렇게 쫀득하게 부르는거 가창력 대혁명 수준이고 원래 날고 기던 애들 노래랑 착 붙어서 이들이 같이 만들어내는 결과물이 기가 막혔는데.......이 기량으로 5명이 함께 더 풍성하게 꾸려가는걸 보지 못했던 것도, 5명이 아니라도 이런 스타일의 하모니를 더 볼 수 없다는 것도 아쉽고 슬프다.

슬프고 맘시리고 가슴먹먹하고 ㅜㅜ
