Two weeks into January and TVXQ's Changmin has already experienced *major success*. The veteran idol, also known by his stage name MAX CHANGMIN, was the talk of the town on social media on January 1st. SMTOWN, to be precise: He showcased a phenomenal solo performance of his new song "Fever" during SM Town Live 2022: SMCU Express at Kwangya.
With everyone trying to find a music platform to stream "Fever", K-pop fans quickly discovered that the LSS-worthy track was a pre-release live stage, to start promoting Changmin's upcoming second mini album Devil.
TVXQ's official twitter account has shared a teaser schedule and album details ahead of the album's January 13 release date, and Cassiopeias (TVXQ's official fandom) have a total of six(!) new songs to play on repeat.
ICYDK, Changmin participated in writing the lyrics of two tracks on his upcoming solo album, title track "Devil" and b-side "Alien"! Aside from the theatrical "Fever", fans can look forward to "Maniac," a movie soundtrack-worthy anthem, "Dirty Dancing," a song for Latin Pop/Dance enthusiasts, and "Airplane Mode" for an easy listen.
