TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho is proving his enduring star power in Japan. His latest full-length album has surged to No. 1 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts, reaffirming his strong presence in the Japanese market.
A Triple Success on Oricon
According to the latest Oricon update (dated November 17), Yunho’s first full-length album I-KNOW has taken the top spot on the Weekly Digital Albums chart. This marks Yunho’s third No. 1 solo release on Oricon, following the success of his mini-albums True Colors and Reality Show. The achievement once again highlights his consistent popularity as a solo artist.
Billboard Japan No. 1: Another Milestone
The momentum continued on Billboard Japan. I-KNOW ranked No. 1 on the Weekly Download Albums chart (for the week of November 3–9), demonstrating strong digital performance across the country. With simultaneous success on both major Japanese charts, Yunho has reaffirmed his influence and loyal fanbase in the region.
A 10-Track Album With Dual Title Songs
I-KNOW features a total of 10 tracks, blending diverse genres and showcasing Yunho’s signature intensity and refined performance style. The album is anchored by two title songs, “Stretch” and “Body Language,” each expressing different facets of his musical identity. “Stretch” leans into a tactile, groove-driven energy, while “Body Language” highlights a more expressive, choreography-focused charisma. Together, the dual titles demonstrate Yunho’s versatility as both a vocalist and performer.
Upcoming Broadcast Appearances
Yunho is also continuing his active promotion schedule with multiple broadcast appearances on November 14. He will return to the stage on KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’ and also appear on SBS’s ‘Too Picky for Me—BeeSeojin,’ where he is expected to share behind-the-scenes stories and showcase new performances. These appearances mark the beginning of his promotional cycle for the chart-topping album, offering fans even more opportunities to see the momentum behind I-KNOW.
