The long-awaited day was here. The SM Entertainment building hummed with electric energy, and every corner of the facility crackled with anticipation. Today was the day TVXQ would make their official debut, and the anticipation was almost tangible.

Hyun-jeong walked through the corridors of the training facility, her heart racing with both excitement and nervousness. The usual clamour of voices and music was heightened by the significance of the day. As she moved past the training rooms, she caught snippets of conversation about the debut.

"I've been following their pre-debut activities closely," said Jong-woon to Ki-bum. "Their performances are going to be incredible. I can't wait to see them on stage."

Ki-bum, his eyes wide with enthusiasm, nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. The amount of effort they've put into this is evident. I'm sure they'll make a huge impact."

Hyun-jeong couldn't help but smile. Seeing the enthusiasm and pride in her fellow trainees was infectious. This is a significant moment for all of us, she thought. Their debut is a testament to the dedication and hard work required in this industry. It's a reminder of what's possible with perseverance.

In the lounge area, the atmosphere was charged with energy. The walls were adorned with TVXQ posters, and the TV was tuned to a live broadcast of the debut performance. The room was filled with the sound of eager chatter and the occasional burst of excitement as updates about the performance flashed on the screen.

Hyun-jeong found a seat in the corner, her eyes fixed on the screen. The host was talking animatedly about TVXQ's debut stage, and the camera panned across the audience, capturing their enthusiastic reactions.

"Are you excited for them?" Si-won asked, taking a seat next to Hyun-jeong. His voice was a mix of eagerness and concern.

Hyun-jeong nodded, her gaze still locked on the screen. "I am. It's a big day for them. Their first performance is going to set the tone for their career."

Si-won chuckled. "Definitely. They've worked so hard to get here. I'm sure it's going to be a memorable debut."

As the broadcast continued, the camera focused on the TVXQ members—Yun-ho, Chang-min, Jae-joong, Yoo-chun, and Jun-su—preparing backstage. Their expressions were a mix of focus and anticipation. I can only imagine how they must be feeling right now, Hyun-jeong thought. It's a blend of excitement, nervousness, and the culmination of countless hours of practice.

The night wore on, and the trainees continued to enjoy the celebration. Despite the modest setting, the warmth and excitement in the room made it a memorable event. Hyun-jeong stepped outside for a moment, taking in the crisp night air and the twinkling city lights below.

Today was a significant milestone for TVXQ, she reflected. But it's also a reminder of the journey we are all on. There's so much to look forward to, and this moment is a testament to what can be achieved with dedication.

Dong-hae joined her outside, his face still glowing from the day's excitement. "What a day, huh?"

Hyun-jeong smiled, nodding. "It was. Seeing TVXQ's debut makes me even more determined to achieve my own goals."

Dong-hae's expression turned thoughtful. "We'll get there. Their success is proof that dreams can come true with hard work."

Hyun-jeong's thoughts echoed his sentiments. This is a moment to cherish, but also a call to action. The success of TVXQ was a milestone not just for them but for everyone involved. It was a reminder of what could be achieved with perseverance, teamwork, and a shared passion for their dreams.
