Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2003, TVXQ began as a five-member boy band composed of members U-Know Yunho, Max Changmin, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu. They were immediately launched to mainstream recognition following the release of their first physical single "Hug" (2004), which peaked at number four on the MIAK monthly music chart. Their first studio albums Tri-Angle (2004) and Rising Sun (2005) were both top sellers, pushing the band's popularity beyond Korea. Under the management of Avex, TVXQ entered the Japanese-language market in April 2005 with their debut single "Stay with Me Tonight", but their first Japanese album Heart, Mind and Soul (2006) was met with limited success.

The song "Catch Me" by TVXQ conveys the message of a man who has been let down in love and is now challenging his ex-partner to catch him if she still wants to be with him. The lyrics start with both Yunho and Changmin daring the girl to catch them. The chorus repeatedly urges her to catch them if she wants to be with them tonight. However, it is revealed that the singer has been hurt before and is therefore scared of opening his heart up again. He questions why he should continue loving her when she brings him so much pain. The upbeat rhythm and dynamic dance breaks convey the passion and urgency of the message.
The lyrics of "Catch Me" are open to interpretation, but the song seems to explore the idea of being hurt in love and the desire to protect oneself from any further hurt. It also suggests that one should not let go of their dignity in the pursuit of love. Additionally, the inclusion of the robot voice and sound effects adds a futuristic and edgy touch to the song.

For those who came from The Fine Bros,
If you want to listen to more of TVXQ!'s songs, I'd recommend,
Keep Your Head Down, Before U Go, Humanoids, Something, Spellbound, etc.
If you are wondering why there's only 2 members. It's because 3 of the members left the company because of "slave" contracts and unfair treatment. (Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu).
The 3 members are now known as JYJ (a group).
JYJ has some amazing songs too. I'd recommend,
Get Out, Found You, In Heaven, Back Seat, etc.
The group when it had 5 members has had a lot of very beautiful songs as well.
Such as:
Mirotic, Rising Sun, O-Jung. Ban. Hap., Purple Line, The Way U Are, Hug, etc.
For ballads, it's Love in the Ice, Bolero, Why Did I Fall in Love with You, Wasurenaide, Forever Love, and many more.
Very beautiful.
Enjoy listening to these songs. The group is known for their harmony while singing, live singing while dancing. Truly a legend, I tell you.
And please. Don't start fanwars (to everyone). They'd get us no where. Ignore haters and trolls (they exist everywhere).

A friend told me awhile ago that old kpop is better than now and I thought how could that be possible now that I watched this... Damn Kpop back then was freaking revolutionary.
@Mel-bv1nz
I miss the old days 😭
@yeetwitch1348
This song is just legendary i wish there were more songs like this one
@HaNeul0805
Yeah especially the clothes back then e.g. gd wearing skirt back in 2011/2012 a few years later it became a huge thing In usa
@samwisegamgee1243
Yeah there was a lot more experimenting back then and trying out new concepts. I feel like once the agencies figured out which concepts make more money, they decided to stick to those tropes instead of trying out new things like they used to.
For example, most of the groups nowadays have the formulaic group members main rapper, vocalist, main dancer, etc. But back then you could find group members with a larger variety of roles and talents, with a lot of the roles overlapping. This meant just about everyone in the group was capable of doing other roles, and could therefore experiment with more styles, compositions, and choreographies.
A lot of group images/personalities have also become more standard in the industry nowadays, like the "bad boy/girl group" or the "sweet boy/girl group", etc. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you can see them breaking their own styles and trying other stuff for one or two songs. But my point is that old kpop groups looooved being bipolar with their songs and images, so you could expect all kinds of styles and concepts from a group.
Lmao sorry for the history lesson, I just really appreciated older kpop. 😭
