Catch Me: Live World Tour

Background

The Catch Me tour marks the group's first tour since their last Asia-wide concert tour, the Mirotic Tour, in February 2009. The two concerts in South Korea will be TVXQ's first concert after the lawsuit between members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu with S.M. Entertainment, and first exclusive concert in four years in Korea. The concert will take place over two days starting from November 17.

The 20,000 tickets for the Seoul concerts were sold out within two minutes of going on sale at 20:00 on October 18. The Beijing concert was played to an audience of 15,000 people. It was announced on February 19, 2013, by JPM Music on their website and Facebook page that TVXQ would be performing on May 18, 2013, at Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam in Malaysia. It is JPM Music's first K-Pop concert. This is the first TVXQ concert in Malaysia as a duo and first concert after 6 years.
