A Japanese fan of another SM group shared her thoughts on TVXQ/Tohoshinki and their presence in SMTown stages, and the impact of their absence in the 2016 SMTown concerts

Translation:

In addition to SHINee’s colour, there is another team’s colour that gives me goosebumps. That is TVXQ’s red, it is really dangerous. I don’t even feel upset as I feel, “Ah, this isn’t something that I can win”. With TVXQ as our seniors, the me who is a Shawol feels proud (laughs). TVXQ is SM’s treasure. Great (group). During SMT, though I always think this way, but the moment TVXQ appears, is the concert venue’s atmosphere completely changes. It is something that no other group can imitate; when in that moment, the concert venue becomes theirs (TVXQ’s). Whether it is a dome or a stadium, it doesn’t matter, the level of energy of the moment the 2 people are reflected at, is different. Last year when TVXQ was absent, I felt this very strongly. Though the atmosphere was heated up, undoubtedly, it lacked something. It seemed that when there was no TVXQ, the atmosphere would drop. It is not about the number of members; people often say, “to embrace (i.e., to take over) a concert venue” – it really is that. Even for the ceiling seats, those two people complete~ly make it their own. It is to an extent it’s scary.
