Star News had the opportunity to conduct an email interview with the group on February 17, and revealed that BSB knew of TVXQ.

“We met a Korean group called TVXQ in Japan a while ago,” the Backstreet Boys said. “Although their outward appearance [because] they were wearing different clothes and were a different race, it was like we were looking into a mirror. … I remember how TVXQ reminded us of who we used to be.”

“The good thing about our [upcoming] show is that we can directly interact with our fans and see them face to face,” the group continued. They also stated that their favorite Korean food was bulgogi (Korean BBQ).

“Our fans … make us sound like Superman, but we’re just plain ordinary people,” they continued, showing humility despite their success – a quality definitely shared by TVXQ.
