With the New Year just around the corner, marking the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, it was unveiled that the duo of TVXQ will be taking a break from their hectic schedules with a vacation that will officially begin on January 1st.
On December 30th, SM Entertainment revealed that TVXQ will be receiving a break prior to kicking off their Japanese arena tour, which begins mid-January.
Having to constantly travel back and forth between Japan and Korea to fulfill their schedule commitments, this holiday will give the boys a chance to receive a break. This will be awarded to them after they head over to Japan for the TBS ‘Japan Record Awards‘ in addition to a pre-recording that they boys will need to undertake for both the ‘2011 MBC Gayo Daejun‘ and NHK’s ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen‘.
After completing these commitments, the boys will return to Korea and start their vacation.
