20&2 is the ninth Korean studio album by South Korean duo TVXQ, released by SM Entertainment on December 26, 2023, the day of their twentieth debut anniversary in Korea. [1] It is TVXQ's first new Korean release in five years, following the EP New Chapter No. 2: The Truth of Love in 2018. Primarily a pop record with influences of dance music and R&B, it is also characterized by fast-tempo synth-bass, mid-tempo synthesizers, disco, and guitar elements. 20&2 is described as a "diverse" album that introduces a new vision of TVXQ. [2]

Contents

The album contains ten tracks, including the lead single "Rebel" and its pre-release single "Down". 20&2 debuted at number three on South Korea's Circle Album Chart, [3] and peaked at number eleven on Japan's Oricon Albums Chart.

To support the album and to commemorate their twenty years of debut, the duo has embarked on the 20&2 Asia Tour from December 2023 to April 2024. [4]

Background and release

In July 2023, SM Entertainment confirmed that TVXQ were working on a new album, ending a five-year group hiatus in Korea. 20&2 and its accompanying concert tour were both officially announced on October 5, 2023. [5] The first promotional image shared on news outlets and social media showed a series of complex designs and the constellation Cassiopeia, which is also the name of TVXQ's fanclub. 20&2 commemorates the 20th anniversary of TVXQ's formation, with the title also being a reference to the two remaining members, U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin. [5]

On November 27, 2023, the day before TVXQ's scheduled appearance at the 2023 MAMA Awards, SM shared a series of promotional material on social media, including an image of TVXQ's new album logo. At the MAMA Awards on November 28, TVXQ performed their pre-release single "Down" for the first time, followed by their 2005 single "Rising Sun" with the boy band Riize.

The music video teaser for "Down" was unveiled on December 1, 2023, [6] and the video dropped on December 4. [7] On December 11, SM released a teaser trailer of the new record, which featuried Yunho and Changmin in two different landscapes–the first, depicting Yunho and Changmin as snipers aiming at sheep; the second, depicting the duo running through a snowy forest and a concrete jungle, and a voice over counting up to twenty. [8] SM announced the following day that 20&2 will drop on December 26, 2023–the day of TVXQ's twentieth debut anniversary–at 6 pm KST. From December 13 to 21, a series of concept images from the album's photobook were released in consecutive fashion.

Previews of the album's tracklist were revealed on a "Rebel Game soundtrack" video shared by SM on December 24. [9] The music video teaser for the album's lead single "Rebel" was revealed on December 25. "Rebel" and 20&2 were both released on December 26, [10] with the album being available in three different packaged versions–the Vault, the Circuit, and the Photobook.

Composition

20&2 consists of ten tracks. The first track and pre-release single "Down" is described as a "slow R&B song" with "sensual" guitar riffs and heavy synth bass, with lyrics which depict "a fierce thirst for love and a desperate yearning for the other person." [11] The lead single "Rebel" is a dance-pop song characterized by strong drumb beats, heavy bass, and "dynamic vocals" with a "rhythmic track." The lyrics of the song encompasses the theme of the album, describing a true rebel as someone who "does not simply oppose existing ideas, but someone who pushes forward with their beliefs without wavering." [12] Tracks three "Rodeo" and four "Jungle" are both described as "atmospheric" songs, the former reminscent of a Western film with lyrics about not being complacent to reality, while the latter is an "aggressively vivid" hip hop song with lyrics about coming on top while being trapped in a "jungle-like" reality. [13]

The second half of the album is characterized by light, mid-tempo pop songs, and ballads. The fifth track "Life is a Dance" is described as "cheerful" and "funky" , with lyrics about experiencing life after a rough journey. [13] The sixth track "Fix It" is a disco-style dance song performed by Yunho and featuring the rapper DinDin. The seventh track "Take My Breath Away" is a R&B ballad performed by Changmin. "Promise" is a ballad with lyrics written by Changmin; "The Way U Are" is an acoustic, unplugged remix of TVXQ's 2004 best-selling single of the same name. "Starlight", the final track in the album, is a ballad with lyrics that expresses TVXQ's "grateful and sincere" relationship with each other and their fans. [14]

Promotion

On November 28, 2023, TVXQ performed "Down" for the first time at the 2023 MAMA Awards held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. There, the duo won the Inspiring Achievement award, which recognized their legacy and popularity in the last 20 years.

From December 23 to January 6, 2024, an exhibition highlight TVXQ's achievements in the past 20 years was held on the island of Yeongjongdo, in Incheon, South Korea. [15]

Following the album's launch, the duo held their 20th debut anniversary concert "2023 TVXQ! CONCERT [20&2]" at the new Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, South Korea on December 30 and 31. The duo then embarked on their 20&2 Asia concert tour, which began in Seoul on December 30, 2023, followed by shows in Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan into February 2024, [4] and Macau and Indonesia in March 2024.
