Yunho (TVXQ) premieres 'Time's Tickin'' live on Radio Star ahead of July 20 release
TVXQ's Yunho performs his debut solo single live for the first time on MBC's Radio Star on July 15, five days before the track officially drops.
TVXQ's Yunho will perform his first solo single Time's Tickin' live for the first time on MBC's Radio Star, airing July 15 at 10:30 PM — five days before the track's July 20 release date.
The episode is a special "대식가들" (big eaters) edition. Kim Sung-ryung, Huh Kyung-hwan, and Pungja are also on the guest lineup. Yunho's performance will include his signature moves and an impromptu Michael Jackson tribute.
He's preparing for his first-ever solo concert, 23 years after debut. The show uses what he's calling an "anical" format — a hybrid of musical and concert elements — and features a character called "little Yunho" (꼬마 유노) to carry the storytelling through the set.
On the broadcast, Yunho will break down the unlikely second life of Thank U, which surged back four years after its original release through a "lesson meme" and stock-related content online. He'll share how he processed the unexpected attention, plus advice he received from senior artist Rain (비).
There's an acting arc to cover too. Yunho overcame earlier criticism of his acting to earn praise for his Jeolla dialect performance in Fine: Country Bumpkins. He focused specifically on Mokpo dialect practice until the director signed off, and the behind-the-scenes story comes out on air.
His connection to co-guest Kim Sung-ryung goes back to the drama Ya Wang, where they played mother and son. He showed up to her mother's funeral without hesitation — the kind of move that says everything about how that relationship held. He'll recount that story on the episode as well.
