“Stand by for attack” The reason for the anticipation for Yunho’s comeback to K-pop

TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho has returned to the stage.
On the 19th, SM Entertainment revealed that at the upcoming SMTOWN LIVE 6th WORLD TOUR to be held at the Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium, U-Know Yunho would be presenting a solo stage. That this would be the first SMTOWN concert in Seoul in 3 years since it was last held in 2014, coupled with the fact that it would be U-Know Yunho’s first performance after being discharge, has captured the attention of fans.

Although many idols have returned from the army, the anticipation for U-Know Yunho is of a different level. On April 20th, he was discharged from the 26th Mechanised Infantry Division after completing 21 months of military service. Through his exemplary army life, it was alongside the attainment of the title, of becoming a designated Special Class Soldier.

Not only that, from being picked as squadron leader (or company commander) in his basic training camp, U-Know Yunho became Best Recruit and was conferred honorary citizenship by Yangju City, discharging with an armful of impressive things.

During that time, while many stars had gotten into trouble for having problems in the army, it was different from what had been said before by the public, he received applause for enlisting and being discharged without controversy. For that, the good will towards U-Know Yunho continued to increase. In addition, the anticipation for his comeback to the music industry increased.

Having experienced 1 year and 9 months of service of military service, it is him who has undergone inner growth. It is expected that at the concert, it would be filled with a matured stage direction and expertise as well as a thirst for the stage. On that, U-Know Yunho disclosed “Although I cannot go into details, for as long as the time that fans have spent waiting for me was, I will be showing an even more upgraded side of myself. I am preparing many things. I will repay (fans) handsomely.”

The anticipation for his unchanging idol visuals as well as comeback is sparking embers. Recently, he was featured on the cover of a men’s magazine, conveying what he had been up to. In the picture, he showed off his intense look and firm figure. Through his relaxed pose, he flaunted his veteran idol-like appearance.

Separately, Choikang Changmin who is in the same group as U-Know Yunho, is currently serving his military service at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Police Promotions Unit, and will be discharged in August.
