Yunho is going to train in Los Angeles for Michael Jackson tribute concert.

It’s been reported that Yunho of TVXQ will be part of the Korea leg of the posthumous concert This Is It dedicated to legendary icon Michael Jackson. Of course, for this concert, Yunho can’t stay in Korea / Japan for TVXQ promotions and will be heading to the United States!

Set to leave for Los Angeles in March, he will improve on his singing and dancing while working with the “This Is It” team. Yunho will work closely with Bashiri Johnson, Maurice Pledger and Judith Hill for his training.

A representative of the concert said,

“For the concert, every member who was set to perform the 2010 This Is It World Tour that was set to launch on July 7th in London will be performing here. There are plans for the Korean singer Yunho to be part of the concert and present a Michael Jackson performance.”

After Yunho’s American training, he will return to Korea and perform on March 27th and 28th at the Korean War Memorial in Yongsan, Seoul.

The representative also said,

“It is a well known fact that Yunho is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and even wrote a blog entry when Michael passed away saying that Michael Jackson was his sole inspiration. Yunho is already a big star that has captured Asia and is also a Michael Jackson fan so we are confident that he will be a great addition to the concert.”

It’s gratifying to see Yunho receiving the opportunity to participate in a tribute concert to one of his idols, and I’m sure many Los Angeles fans are excited for this young star’s upcoming visit to America. Tickets go on sale on March 2nd.

TVXQ’s ‘Best Selection 2010′ album art released!

For all of you TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki fans waiting for some good news, the album art for their next Japanese album has been released. But before you go head over heels on this one, I’ll give you an early notice that this album will not have any new songs.

Set to be released on February 17, TVXQ’s ‘Best Selection 2010’ will be a compilation album of their best Japanese hits. According to YesAsia, this album will contain several of their Japanese hit singles, including ‘Purple Line,’ which was their first #1 hit single in Japan.

As for the album art, although the TVXQ boys do look just as amazing as ever in these pictures, due to the spacing of each individual member they look very distant with one another. But then again, maybe it’s all the TVXQ controversies getting to me. Well, until they come out with another new full album, this is the best we’ve got.

You can pre-order the album at YesAsia.

TVXQ Breaks Out a new music video

Yunho visits grandma in hospital

While the other four members of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki were off in Australia , TVXQ’s leader U-Know Yunho paid a visit to his grandmother at the JangsungHyo Love Hospital on the 6th.

Yunho made the visit after returning from his activities in Japan to greet his grandmother for the new year. Despite his busy schedule, Yunho prepared rice cakes and drinks for the residents of the hospital and had an enjoyable time with the seniors. His actions have garnered much praise as the hospital does not receive many visitors due to it being a long-term care facility. Truly, a class act all around.
