"TVXQ did not divide into 3-2 groups at Kouhaku rehearsal."

Komai Chikako is an entertainment reporter who works for a YTV's program called Miyaneya, the one that Tohoshinki made an appearance on the day of Best Hits Song Festival. On 1/8, when Miyaneya was having a discussion about Tohoshinki's disbanding rumor, Komai Chikako voiced out what she had seen at Kouhaku's backstage.

"People have been saying that their dressing room was divided by a curtain, and that they came back to the dressing in 3-2 groups at Kouhaku rehearsal; but according to what I saw with my own eyes, there was no such thing as 3-2. They were together as 5 all the times; and even when they had to line up, they didn't split it into 3-2. The 3 who are in dispute with their company right now entered the space between the other 2, and they lined up as 5. The media has been reporting that Jaejoong had an expression that they did not want to answer their questions, but at that time, he was wearing a hood over his head, so it was hard to see his expression..." [T/N: what she meant was that since Jaejoong's facial expression could not be seen clearly, the media just assumed that he was in a bad mood]
