From 2008: Increasing success in Japan and return to South Korea

TVXQ live at SM Town Live in Bangkok

TVXQ released their 16th Japanese single Purple Line on January 16, 2008. This rose to number 1 on the Oricon Daily Charts, making it the band's first number one hit. Some time later, their third Japanese album T came on the market, which debuted at number 4 on the Oricon Weekly Album Charts. THSK's record label Rhythm Zone announced the Trick project: a project that would release five singles in a row over six weeks (February to March). Each of these five singles contains a solo by a band member and picks up on a theme from the song Trick on the title track . In April THSK released their 23rd single Beautiful You / Sennen Koi Uta . The single became another number 1 hit for the band, making them the first non-Japanese band to have two number 1 hits. In doing so, they had broken the record set by Ou-Yang Fei Fei 24 years ago.

On June 12th, TVXQ finished their '2nd Asia Tour' in Beijing, which had been running since February 23, 2007. After the successful completion of their tour, THSK released their 24th single: Dōshite Kimi o Suki ni Natte Shimattandarō? Like its previous singles, the single topped the Oricon charts and made TVXQ one of the first foreign artists with three number one hits of all time. Also in 2008 they took part in the popular A-Nation Festival and appeared alongside greats like Ayumi Hamasaki or Koda Kumi. In August TVXQ returned to South Korea to attend SMTown Live '08 . Here they played with label colleagues BoA, Cheon Sang Ji Hee the Grace , Zhang Liyin , Girls' Generation , Shinee or Super Junior.

The fourth Korean album Mirotic should be released on September 24th and make the big comeback after a break of almost two years in Korea. However, due to the immense number of pre-orders, there was a two-day delay. Even after the long creative break, they managed to top the charts with Mirotic with 307,974 copies sold. In January 2009 the number of records sold amounted to 502,837, which made Mirotic the first Korean album in six years, which had exceeded the 500,000 mark and a very successful comeback of the five Koreans proved. In October, TVXQ released Jumon: Mirotic , the Japanese version of the Korean theme song of the same name. The single also topped the Oricon charts in Japan, breaking the record that the band had set with their last single. On January 31, 2008, TVXQ took part in Kōhaku Uta Gassen , an extremely renowned music show in Japan that is only stocked with the creme-de-la-creme of the Japanese music scene. TVXQ was the first ever Korean band to be honored to take part in this annual show.

In January 2009 TVXQ started with their 25th single Bolero / Kiss the Baby Sky / Wasurenaide , which again claimed number 1 on the Oricon charts. In March they released their 26th single Survivor and their 4th Japanese album The Secret Code , which entered the album charts at number 2. Survivor climbed to 3rd place on the Oricon charts and so their record ended for the time being. On April 22nd, 2009 they released their 27th single Share the World / We Are! out, which became known as the new opening of the anime One Piece and brought them first place in the charts. Their 28th single, Stand by U , released on July 1st , has sold over 300,000 copies by July 6th, as has their 4th Japanese album. In order to perfect their triple three of the music scene, they have attracted over 300,000 music lovers with their 東方 神 起4th Live Tour 2009 The Secret Code , which began in May . Your last stop for this was in the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo.

After releasing their best-of album and the 30th single 時 ヲ 止 メ テ / Toki wo Tomete , the band announced on April 3 that they would stop all activities in Japan and that the five members would devote themselves to their solo careers. Surprisingly, however, it was reported on April 15th that three members - Jaejoong, Yuchun and Junsu - are forming a new group, with which they performed both in June in the Kyocera DOME in Osaka and in the Tokyo DOME. It shouldn't just be a limited project, but rather the future formation of the band.

In November 2010 the film Kimi ga Odoru Natsu will be released , for which Tohoshinki taxed the title song, which was sold as a DVD version including a cinema ticket in July, even if a single release is not planned.

In August 2010 it was announced that Junsu, Jaejoong and Yuchun, who had come together as the group JYJ after their activities at Tohoshinki were discontinued , would release an album in Japan.
