Many of them saying Mirotic is the iconic song of TVXQ! but actually not..
Rising Sun is the one strikes the whole kpop industry and all awards winning! bringing SME to a next level! Mirotic is just kinda one of their legendary and last title track with 5 members.
when there's so many hoobaes covering Mirotic, why dont they try covering Rising Sun, this is so much more challenging tbh..the vocals the choreograph the flows..the iconic SME style of joining three parts of music is so amazing!! wish SME bring this style & quality back!

@missathirahmunirahzainol9297

Moonbyul (MAMAMOO) covers this song. That's why I'm here. I've heard this song during my secondary school. Just now, I saw the mindblowing lyrics and the explanation of this song. Such a deep with meaningful lyrics and the high note cleared all the problem I'm facing rn lol.
