On December 26th at 6 p.m. KST, K-pop veteran TVXQ returned with their ninth studio album along with a music video for its title song, “Rebel!”
The dynamic dance track expresses the belief that a “rebel” of an era isn’t just someone who defies standards but a person who continues on an unwavering heart. It was penned by KENZIE and composed by KENZIE, Jonatan Gusmark, Ludvig Evers, Moa “Cazzi Opeia” Carlebecker, and Adrian McKinnon.
The full album 20&2 commemorates the duo’s 20th anniversary contains a total of 10 tracks including “Down” which was recently revealed during the 2023 MAMA Awards. This is TVXQ’s first regular album in nearly six years since New Chapter #2: The Truth of Love.

Katherine grew up watching Korean dramas and other Asian shows. Although she first learned to appreciate Korean music through OSTs broadcasted locally, it wasn’t until 2011 that she properly paid attention to K-pop. She holds a fondness for SEVENTEEN and NCT and would recommend (G)I-DLE, Dreamcatcher, and XG to whoever cared to listen. She reads just about anything and is currently easing back into full novels.
