A guest of a Korean TV show revealed the gift Changmin gave her for her daughter in a show she used to host for. It was a cross stitch. She also mentioned that many fans wanted to buy and even gave a price of up to few of ten millions won. The theme of that show was "a hobby not compatible to my personality". Changmin had said that he was keen in cross stitching. Source: 松叶yjm5 Trans: yunjaery

Hello everyone, this is TVXQ's Max Changmin.
Is everyone doing well? I am here at Samui, Thailand for a photoshoot. It feels a little different to write a letter at a place where I am filming while having a vacation. But because I have never done this before, it feels meaningful. We created lots of blissful and precious memories here before our enlistment. This moment, which is not far away from our enlisting dates, although I am not sure how, I want to jot down simply everything that I am feeling right now. For the past 10 years, I feel that I have already did my best under the name TVXQ. However, I still worry if I truly did do well. There are lots of regrets too. Also! Our fans who have stood by us for such a long time! Opportunities to meet everyone will lessen gradually, but we will go and return well! The time back then had passed by so quickly, these 2 short years will too, won't it... ㅎㅎ Nonetheless, I will serve earnestly and live honestly in my own position. I want to grow into a more handsome man. I will definitely be one... ㅎ Anyway, the night sky here is really beautiful. Playing freely in such a carefree atmosphere, you should be able to see a happier side of us. Also, for the photos taken on the yatch, the weather during the photoshoot was perfect so there should be many amazing, relaxing yet handsome photos included. When can I get to see the photobook... ㅎㅎㅎ While we are here, I chatted with Yunho hyung about many things that we never really talked about before... We have be separated very soon right? Although I can't tell him directly, it feels like I will really miss him a lot. Our Uknow Time...^^ Thinking of the day we meet again, everyone should be living each day fully. Till the day we meet again, please wait for us healthily. Thank you! I love you.♡ Trans: yunjaery Exclusive Interview with TVXQ: Ten years of gratitude since debut, will not disband in the future Few days ago, the members – Yunho and Changmin – of Korea’s popular group TVXQ conversed with NetEase. Debuted for 10 years, TVXQ commented that they had progressed smoothly for 10 years thanks to the warm concerns everyone shown to them. In the coming 10 years, they will try out different kinds of music styles under the name ‘TVXQ’ actively. At the same time, both of the members will participate solely in aspects such as acting and filming MVs to demonstrate their growths. They hope that in the coming 10 years, all of the fans will be able to fantasize and construct the future together with TVXQ.

NetEase: TVXQ’s newest album has really received very good results, the promotional song is commented positively too. Is there any plan to hold concerts? Changmin: Until now, no… There are no plans for concerts with the promotional songs <Something> and <Spellbound>. The first plan is to have a nationwide tour in Japan at the end of April. If there are good chances and the time is appropriate after the Japan tour ends, we may invite everyone to our concert. Everyone, please wait a little more! NetEase: There are many Korean singers and actors acting or participating variety shows in China recently, any plans for both of you to act in a Chinese movie or drama, or promote your newest album (in China)? Yunho: If there is someone who will invite us, we will feel honored. If there is a good opportunity to act or take part in promotional activities, we will work harder than anybody else. We hope everyone will wait for us (till that happens). NetEase: TVXQ has debuted for 10 years. Is there anything to be anticipated in the future 10 years? Yunho: First, we have progressed smoothly for 10 years thanks to the warm concerns everyone showed. In the coming 10 years, we will try out different kinds of music styles as members of TVXQ and under the name ‘TVXQ’. We are thinking of this carefully. As for solo activities, we will possibly showcase our growing image in aspects such as acting and MV. We hope that in the future 10 years, everyone will be able to fantasize and construct the future together with TVXQ. NetEase: As the seniors in K-Pop, is there any supportive words you want to tell your juniors? Changmin: Although everyone should know this point, (but) cherish every stage, put in your biggest efforts. I believe this sincerity is connected with the love from fans because being connected with fans, they will love and support us longer. We have to work harder in the future and work hard with our genuine hearts. I am thinking, if this thought is the most important (point). NetEase: Any message for the readers of NetEase? Yunho: Readers of NetEase, TVXQ has walked through 10 years smiling because of everyone.

Changmin: We should record this image of Heechul hyung. We came to accept the interview but the phone… (Laughs) Our Heechul hyung is a person like an aimless ball that will bounce to unknown places, so please take care of him. I have watched all the released interviews from ‘Here Comes Heechul’. Heechul: Didn’t you come just for the interview? I came to support your ‘Suri Suri’ too. Why? Don’t you believe? Yunho: Didn’t you come to look at the girl groups? (Laughs) It will be interested to have an interview with hyung, but I must be alert. Hyung is very manly but he can be as detailed as a woman. The questions asked are really unusual. But, hyung, take into account for the years we spent together, please focus on asking gentle (/light) questions. (Laughs) Heechul: Since Yunho who had many memories with me spoken out, I shall weaken (my questions). (Laughs) Yunho-ah, do you still remember? When I auditioned successfully as a SM trainee, I came to Seoul for the first time 12 years ago, you who entered the dorm earlier than me came to Cheongdam Police Station to fetch me to the dorm? At that time, I am exactly the same as Sam Cheonpo from Reply 1994. (Laughs) Yunho: Of course I remember, hyung. When I brought hyung back from the police station, hyung, Donghae, Trax’s J-hyung and I lived together in the dorm until I debuted as TVXQ. It was really interested that time. Unless we are forced, we will return to the dorm to play during festivals; everyone will come early. Hyung had a traffic accident and was hospitalized after you debuted as SJ, I also entered the same hospital because of leg injury, there are too many interesting things experienced with hyung. Heechul: Exactly. Before you debut, the girl you had a crush on saw you and me in Apgujeong fast food restaurant and thought I was a girl, and so she rejected you. (Laughs) I had long hair that time. When we lived in dorms, we played hide and seek with the children at the basketball court. Also, we even write letters and bury in the ground after watching My Sassy Girlfriend. Although I don’t have many stories with Changmin in the past, but after seeing how Changmin got closer with Kibum who had a serious personality since trainees, I feel that he is not a bad kid. Changmin: I am friends with Kibum. (Laughs) When hyung, Yunho hyung and I, all three of us had to accept self-critics in front of trainees who are like SM staffs once a week, Heechul hyung always sing the rock genre. Even until now, the memory is still fresh. (Laughs) Heechul: Changmin sang senior Lee Gichan’s Cold and Kibum was in awed with him. (Laughs) Yunho always sing Hareem hyung’s Incurable. Even though I always sing rock, Yunho continuously gave me the best support – he clapped the loudest and responded the best. (Laughs) Yunho might be very energetic, he is always very polite. Even though both of us might not have a wide age gap, ever since the start of our trainee days, he always speak in formal to me. Yunho: That is because you are my brother; of course I have to do this. If I have expectations for my junior, I do not have to say anything; I will just show them directly using actions. As much as seniors and juniors should be close, I believe manners should be followed accordingly. The autumn wind that was blown in through the window That flits past the empty heart Leaning against the wall that is turning cold Looking into the faraway brightening morning sky Even if I miss you, I cannot walk closer I must leave your side now My pair of lonely eyes That was once alone You who gave me a long and heartwarming love Leaving your side now Maybe I will regret But I am doing because I love you Only love you Even if I cannot forget I can only erase you away from the sorrow Under the dazzling sunlight People walking on the road, smiling But I can only feel the coldness of the autumn sky The whole world seems unfamiliar Even if I love you But I have to leave This moment right now is too suffocating It will fade away, I understand The tears that fell from the corner of your eyes And even if I bring only hurt to you You will understand my true heart one day Leaving your side now Maybe I will regret But I am doing because I love you Only love you Even if I cannot forget I can only erase you away from the sorrow Leaving your side now Maybe I will regret But I am doing because I love you Only love you Even if I cannot forget Dear you, goodbye You can purchase this song legally here.

Kor - Chi trans: loveissammi Chi - Eng trans: yunjaery Changmin: I feel contended when I get to drink beer on stage. In the 10th anniversary concert last year, both of us drank beer in front of the audience since the fans asked us to drink for celebration. Normally, we will not drink (on stage) because there are fans who are only in their 10s, but (that day) they said it was fine, since it was the anniversary day. Foreign singers such as QUEEN will drink while having the concert. “It will be great if we can hold a concert as freely as that,” this is what I always think of. This is finally fulfilled last year. Of course, it will be better if we have more chances doing such acts in the future. Changmin: Returning home for a good shower after ending work, then enjoy a can of beer or drink some red wine while watching the TV… Moments like this make me feel extraordinarily happy. These moments are the times when I belong to only myself, and thus the relaxation is true from my inner heart. Previously, there was this day when it was snowing heavily in Korea. When I saw the snow that day, I felt a bit lonely. “Ah~ I want to date,” I thought. Changmin: I get flustered looking at Ray (magazines). When the first interview started, I saw many magazines with adorable girls featured. I was imagining “I want to date these adorable girls”. (Laughs) (Looking at the staffs) You are working such blissful place, I’m so envious! Yunho: I was shocked to know our male fans had increased significantly! We have lesser fans in Korea compared to Japan, but in the previous fansigns, many high school male fans came. I asked for the reason why they like TVXQ and they answered, “it is because (TVXQ) look younger than their actual age, and they are always working hard to challenge different things. It is very awesome to see them enjoying singing in Something”. I was stunned. Yunho: I feel shy when everyone calls me ‘Yunho sama’. I once gave the staffs jackets and in the end they started calling me ‘Yunho sama! Yunho sama!’ (Laughs) Of course, I am glad that everyone is happy, but recently they started saying things like “the weather is so warm, Yunho sama”. This made me feel awkward. Changmin: I realized something from myself – I am not good at dealing with girls who are in awe and laugh excitedly at everything. I am not into that kind of cheerfulness; however, I do go for people who laugh happily while chatting. I prefer people who like laughing. Changmin: I am different from Yunho. Recently, I am better in presenting my love naturally. If there is a girl whom I like, I am able to say “I like you”. It seems as if I am better at expressing this feeling. I guess this is confession? Well if I find someone… Yunho: Yes if there is someone… (Laughs) Changmin: I am better in speaking such thoughts freely as compared to the past. If I feel like liking, I will of course want to be able to express the right feeling through words. This is something that I have found out recently, hence I want to date. (Laughs) Translations are not allowed to shared to sites where Yunho, Changmin and/or TVXQ are not respected.

Japanese - Chinese trans: kouki琪 Chinese - English trans: @yunjaery TVXQ who were being anticipated more after welcoming the 10th debut anniversary, where do their charisma, that even males cannot deny the impressiveness, lie in? Other than their usual modern fashion sense as well as future activities as singers, both of them shared many thoughts with us. Q: TVXQ was featured in SMART before. Please let us know your thoughts of being featured as the cover (of SMART) for the first time. Changmin: Especially happy. This is a trendy magazine that targets males, more males as compared to females will be able to notice us, and therefore it is really delightful. Yunho: I am also very happy that more males will be able to see us. Also, we are releasing a new album soon, I am glad we are able to show everyone a new side of TVXQ. Q: What kind of outfit do you usually like to match up? Yunho: I wear coats frequently. The one (long green checkered coat) that I wore here today is bought recently! Also, I am in love with wearing spectacles recently too. Won’t you look more knowledgeable if you are wearing spectacles? Besides that, to make myself look more mature, I have been actively trying to wear shades often. Changmin: I will wear coats frequently too. Other than that, I also use scarfs or shawls. Instead of just tying it around, I will drape it onto my neck and put on the coat directly, showing just a bit of the scarf or shawl. As for bottoms, I often wear black skinny jeans. This style is sustained for about two or three years. Q: What do you feel about the clothes that you wore for the photoshoot today? Changmin: I like it very much because the clothes that I wore for the featured cover is similar to the outfit I put on usually. Yunho: As they are brands that I favor personally, I hope they will be appropriate for my age and match with it naturally. Q: Do the both of you have any items you look out for in spring-summer seasons? Changmin: I am currently interested in cropped pants that can show off the ankles nicely. It may be a bit early to wear in spring, but I am thinking of matching it with slippers. Yunho: I want to try wearing a long jacket that can match well with short pants. It can be further matched with items such as necklaces or scarfs to product a clean, refreshed atmosphere. Lately, I have been looking out for the different ways of using a scarf too. Changmin: I have not seen Yunho wearing a scarf or anything like that recently… (Laughs) Q: (Laughs) Yunho mentioned buying a coat just now, did Changmin purchase anything recently? Changmin: I bought a customize earpiece, that is really amazing! Don’t Japanese singers customize their own earpieces too? TVXQ have that too, but I have made a personal one just for my own usage. I customized one with the mindset that since the music comes out with high quality, spending a bit more money is worth it. The earpiece can capture sounds that may be very soft, and thus the enjoyment of listening to music increased as compared to before. Q: Yunho mentioned falling in love with spectacles recently right? Yunho: That’s right. Although the reason to wear spectacles is to look more knowledgeable, after all the inner self is more important, and this is why I have been reading books too. Of course, this is also because I am interested in knowing the events that happened on people with twists in their lives. I read books related to that. Some of the quotes of these people helped me a lot. I thought of life too easily in the past, I believe there is more responsibility as a man. I always thought through the kind of life I want… Q: I believe both of you lead extremely busy lives, so how do you normally relieve stress? Yunho: I listen to songs that bring out positive connotations. Watching interesting videos on Youtube can make my mood better too. Also, I am thinking of writing a diary once a week. I write down things that stimulate me and when I read back these events, I can be very high! I can tell myself, ‘ah since I have been through times like this I can definitely get over current matters’, when I read the diary whenever I am feeling down. Some matters may appear to be very serious now but it may not be so after a period of time. That should be emotional control. I am trying to use SMART (!) thinking methods. Q: The new album Tree will be released on 5th of March, what kind of album is this? Changmin: The group TVXQ has welcomed the 10th debut anniversary. This album will help everyone feel the growth we have as singers. Just like a tree that has grown for 10 years, its roots are hidden deep down the soil. Yunho: The meaning of Tree may just be a simple tree, but it is also a tree that had grown into such enormous tree because it inhabits the trust and love everyone gave TVXQ all this while. Songs to express our gratefulness are recorded inside (the album) too. Q: Is there any song that you personally prefer? Yunho: I Love You is a song which expresses the thankful feeling that language cannot present well. Hopefully everyone can listen to it. Also, there is a song named Tree of Life. The lyrics consist of words of expressions that perhaps even Japanese will not use. We as foreigners have gave all our best to express the meaning of the lyrics. This song is also the representative song of the album, hopefully everyone can start by listening to this song, and then move on to the other recorded songs. You can then better understand what we were thinking when we record the songs. Q: Lastly, please share some envisions TVXQ have in the future. Changmin: Compared to words like hoping to stand on what kind of stage, I hope that everyone will be able to listen to TVXQ’s songs for a long time. This thought is included in this album too. Yunho: Although it is important to keep on performing on big stages, but as compared to that, I believe ‘lasting’ is more important. We may be on large stages sometimes, we may be on very small stages sometimes, we hope to become singers who can perform on both types of stages. We wish to hold a concert where only males or limited fans can participate, (because) we anticipate TVXQ to become singers who can change differently because of different fans. This is the type of singer I am thinking of. Translations are not allowed to be shared to sites where Yunho, Changmin or TVXQ are not respected.
Japanese - Chinese trans: 你好我是摸摸 Chinese - English trans: @yunjaery TVXQ’s Changmin expressed his thoughts on stepping down from KBS 2TV’s Cool Kidz On The Block. Changmin recently met the media at KBS 2TV Music Bank and confirmed that he will be leaving Cool Kidz. “When my leave is confirmed, I thought I will not be upset but I still felt pain in my heart. I tried my best to hold in my tears.” He will be leaving Cool Kidz officially after the recording ends on 15th. Until now, he has been staying by Kang Hodong’s side and presented his active sides in table tennis, bowling, badminton and even activities like basketball. But due to his busy schedule, although it is regretful, it is decided that he will leave the show. Towards his leave, Changmin said, “Looking at the older brothers, I feel that I am tearing up. But it is a really amazing memory. I am especially grateful towards Byeongjin hyung, Alex hyung, Dalhwan hyung etc. But because of TVXQ’s schedule, I really cannot stay and continue recording with everyone, this is a pity.” Also, he mentioned the regret of not being able to accompany Cool Kidz crew to Winter Olympics. Changmin experienced many changes in the ten months he accompanied Cool Kidz. Especially last year, he said, “because of Cool Kidz, I became more optimistic.” He also commented that “although it is hectic and difficult, but my personality and attitude became better from being in Cool Kidz. I admit I have more strength in continuing my career.” Changmin will be involved with TVXQ’s album promotions as well as his other commitments. TVXQ is in the midst of their promotions for their title song “Something” from 7th Regular Album “Tense”. Other than attaining good results on all sorts of music charts, they received great responses from America’s Billboard and other countries’ Medias. Japan tour will commence in April. [你好我是摸摸]
[yunjaery] YH = Yunho
SD = Shindong SD: This (song) is different from the songs sang in the past, it is a swing jazz genre. YH: Yes. SD: I heard that this song was requested by Yunho, it will be good if it is this kind of genre. YH: When Yoo Young Jin was composing the song initially, as it is a type of genre that is not released before, so I talked to him secretly and requested for this song to be given to us. SD: Ah, please wait a while, so the song was not assigned to anyone but as you are working there so you secretly went over? YH: I secretly went there. When I was walking past and I heard the song, I just feel that it has such great melody. Although TVXQ’s old songs are as good, but I wanted some changes for 10th anniversary. So I thought, ah, this one is great. So I pushed the door open and went inside. SD: Did you have a shock? It is something that cannot be seen. YH: I heard it once. At the start there was no specific melody and I only heard the instrumental version but images were formed in my mind and I thought of a musical. So I feel that this song should not be given to anyone else except us. SD: Please hold on, this song may be given to SJ. YH: Exactly. SJ’s Sorry Sorry too, there will always be an opportunity to receive songs, but I feel that the chance is right here, I feel really fortunate. SD: What was Changmin’s opinion? YH: Changmin thought it was amazing when he heard the song. SD: Both of you had the same opinion this time. YH: 100% accurately matched! SD: So you titled this as the title song immediately without listening to the other songs? YH: First thought after listening the first time is “this must be the title song”! |
