Rising Sun is TVXQ's second Korean studio album, released on September 12, 2005. The songs are written by well-known musicians such as Yoo Young Jin, Kenzie, Hwang Sung Je and All-4-one member Jamie Jones.

The year 2007 is said to be K-pop's biggest slump in sales in South Korea, with the highest selling album by SG Wannabe at only 190,998 copies sold. TVXQ's "Rising Sun" still managed to make it onto the Korean Top 100 yearly charts, despite its release in 2005. It was the highest selling "old" album in 2007 with #67 position on the charts. In April 2009 the title track of the album, Rising Sun, was featured in Fast & Furious, during Paul Walker's opening scene. It was credited at the end as sung by TVXQ.
