According to a report by the Japanese media on July 4, Korean boy band TVXQ is the first Korean group to be featured on the magazine cover of “Rolling Stone”. TVXQ’s Yunho and Changmin have been invited to be featured on the cover of the Japanese version of “Rolling Stone”, and it is reported that Japanese singers are rarely featured on their cover; while this being the first time that a Korean singer is being featured.

TVXQ, known for leaders of the Hallyu wave in Japan, had to stop their activities at the point of time where they had contract disputes with their agency, SM Entertainment, having 3 members left. Now, being the first boy band to be featured on the covers of “Rolling Stone”, Yunho and Changmin has once again secured the name “Dong Bang Shin Ki”.

In 2008, Mika Nakashima was the first Japanese artiste to be featured in “Rolling Stone”, and since then, only a handful of 10 over Japanese artistes had been on the covers of “Rolling Stone”. TVXQ proved their great popularity by being the first Korean artiste to be on the cover of “Rolling Stone”.

Yesterday, a SM Entertainment staff wrote on his blog, stating, “To be able to be on the cover of “Rolling Stone”, even to Japanese artistes, it’s not that easy”. The two members of TVXQ expressed that they were honoured to be invited for a photoshoot for the front cover of “Rolling Stone”.
