TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho is garnering attention for visiting the JangsungHyo Love Hospital in Jeolla Province during the afternoon of the 6th to give his greetings for the New Year.
U-Know Yunho was there to visit his grandmother at the hospital as soon as he returned from his activities in Japan.
U-Know Yunho, who went to visit his grandmother at the hospital despite his busy schedule, gave the elderly at the hospital rice cakes and drinks and is said to have had a great time with them.
The reason that U-Know Yunho’s visit is in the spotlight is because not many family members visit patients due to the nature of the long-term hospital so he is being seen as a role model for his visit there.
On the other hand, TVXQ, in which U-Know Yunho is a member, ranked as the most searched artiste at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen 2009 and solidified their popularity overseas as well as in Korea.

From Backdancer To Dancing Singer (U-Know Yunho)
The walls of Kpop are crumbling down. Comedians and actors are putting out albums and singers in reverse are entering the fields of acting and comedy as well. This is why many new terms such as Gaegaman (Gaegeuman “Comedian)+Gasoo (singer)” and Telgamen “Telunteu(Actor)+Gasoo(singer)”.
No longer do only comedians make people laugh or only singers sing. Reality has made being good in only one field no longer useful in the competitive industry. Kpop has evolved and changed so much that the joking comment that “If you’re good at singing, go be a singer” can no longer be used meaningfully.
How people become singers is also changing as well. There are many cases where people become singers because they are good at singing, but there is an increasing number of people who become singers after being backdancers who stood behind other singers and let them shine. In today’s industry, we are seeing them stepping up to the spotlight. They are stars who have gone from supporting actors to leads.

U-Know Yunho, part of Asia’s hottest group TVXQ, first became known by performing as Dana’s rapper and backdancer in her solo album. Dana is currently part of TSZX the Grace but was performing as a high-school singer before TVXQ’s 2004 debut.

Singers who used to be backdancers succeed because of their determination and effort. Backdancers are said to stay up for an entire week making choreography for a singer and make singers shine even when it gets them small injuries and bruises.
The backdancer who came up with Jewelry’s E.T. dance said, “The reason they were able to succeed as singers was because of their cow-like determination, ceaseless hard work and diligent rehearsals.”
