Korean idols TVXQ, composed of member Changmin Lee Changmin and U-Know U-Know, have celebrated their seventh year in the music industry.

The two members, both donning black suits, uploaded a photo in front of a white two layered cake with a candle indicating the years that they have been in the industry as well as posting a voice message to their fans on their official website.

"I have already spent seven years with my fans and time goes by really fast. Our comeback performance is not that far off and I'm more nervous than I was for our stage debut. I hope that the fans have high expectations for our return and always show their support for TVXQ", U-Know was quoted as saying in his message.

"It's kind of weird greeting the fans this way but I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for always showing your love for us. We are working hard for our comeback so that our fans will be proud to call themselves our fans. I love you all very much", Lee Changmin said during his message.

The two members ended their voice message by wishing their fans the best for the rest of the year.

TVXQ, formerly composed of five members Xiah Junsu, Kim Jae-joong, Park Yoo-chun, Changmin Lee Changmin and U-Know U-Know, had been known as one of the leading dance groups in the K-pop scene since making their debut in 2004.

However, after disputing with agency SM Entertainment over the unfairness of their 13-year exclusive contract, Kim Jae-joong, Park Yoo-chun and Junsu halted their activities as TVXQ and instead formed trio JYJ.

Changmin Lee Changmin and U-Know U-Know will make their comeback with the release of their special edition new album titled "Keep Your Head Down" on January 5 while the regular version will hit stores a week later.

They will also unveil a teaser video which will air during major year-end shows such as music festivals and drama award ceremonies on Korea's top three major public broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS starting December 29 till 31.
