* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The majority of their live performances. It is not unusual for them to sound better live than recorded. Even after singing and dancing for 3 hours. Examples include: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IUdf-yKr34 Bolero (Encore)]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxBoZbX155A Love in the Ice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2YgsC_rFcw Mirotic]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4PRbb95PhM Tonight (Encore)]], which was probably written solely to show off their vocals.
** Their 4th Live Tour. They filled up TOKYO DOME.

** Becoming the first foreign artists to have eight number one singles on the Japanese Oricon chart, not to mention [[UsefulNotes/KoreansInJapan achieving so much success in Japan despite being Korean.]]
** They recently took over the Oricon DVD charts with zero promotion and probably set a record for having the most number of [=DVDs=] on the Oricon Top 10 Chart too.
** Their live performance of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWBbZo5ka68 Share the World]], one of the openings to Manga/OnePiece at Tokyo Dome. Managing to nail Doushite immediately afterwards counts too.
* NarmCharm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vBzLtZMCno This performance of "Rising Sun"]] during their T tour. Those costumes, Yunho's hair, Changmin's scream...
* OvershadowedByControversy: In 2009, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu (JYJ) filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment regarding their 13-year contract which they find to be excessively long. The lawsuit shed light on this contract which [[http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2009/08/201_49933.html the media called a "slave contract"]] and it brought attention to the Fair Trade Commission who admonished KPop companies for this kind of contract. This also led to reforms where entertainment contracts would only be up to 7 years. Regardless of reforms, some companies still practice this, and JYJ's lawsuit was brought up again in 2023 when Music/{{EXO}}'s Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment for the same issue.
* TearJerker:
** Insa...just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXU8vhRiXWk Insa.]]
** After the split, members Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu formed their own subgroup and performed at Tokyo Dome. Junsu broke down crying during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNzLw5xwUd4 last song W]], which was about their separation from Yunho and Changmin.
** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQn0pat7abo Proud Performance]]. Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
