Kim debuted with TVXQ! in 2003, and in 2009, he left SM Entertainment with fellow members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun to form JYJ. However, the group faced significant challenges โ including a lengthy legal battle with their former agency that severely limited their appearances on variety and music shows.
