"If I look back, it wasn't the fact that they won first place that was important-."



TVXQ has broken quite a lot of records.
There are so many of these records that I don't feel confident that I'll get them all down
and everyone knows about them anyway so I won't write them here,
But TVXQ has broken a lot of records.
 

And I liked the fact that they were standing at the top spot where no one could deny the fact that they were 'The Best'.

Although even their spot as '1st' was overshadowed by the fact that they were an 'idol' group,
Although there were times when I couldn't make a comeback at someone when they said that they were lucky to have a powerful agency behind them,
Although that made people think less of them,
Although they have not been fully accepted for their vocal skills by everyone,

I really liked it when they stood at that spot.

A vast stage,
Countless singers, audience members, and reporters,
And the cameras, lights and congratulations that surrounded the five of them...
The shining trophies.


I liked it, because I could see and notice all these things.



But, I would sometimes think that there was another reason why I liked it when they stood at the top.


When I look back,
The reason I wanted to give them that title of first place
was not because I liked that title just because it was 'first place'.


At the end of the year, at the time when everyone reflects on the past year and reminisces,
Instead of creating closure, they would perform more and tire themselves out constantly.
It was their crying and smiling and joyful faces that I wanted most.
That showed raw emotions, that was not scripted.




I must have liked seeing them so overwhelmed with emotions.

I liked first place,
Of course first place would have been the best thing to give them.




It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't won first place if it was something that made them show their true emotions that could not be expressed in words,
First place was unnecessary if it was something the five members were happy for.


When I look back,
Even if it wasn't at an awards ceremony, or a place where TVXQ was the center of attenti
