[News] TVXQ Still Keeping Their Feet On The Ground

[News] TVXQ Still Keeping Their Feet On The Ground

The two members shared their first impressions of Singapore, their love for chilli crabs and what they miss doing the most.

 

They may be one of the biggest stars in K-pop, but what greeted us at the group interview in the function room at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, were two affable and sincere men.

Decked in matching blue military-styled uniforms, TVXQ took questions from the media in a short 20-minute group interview before their fan party.

The duo first talked about their first impressions of our country and told us what they had previously heard of us.

“It’s our first time to Singapore and we had the chance to view the night scenery yesterday. It was really beautiful. The impression is not fully formed because we’ve not performed and met our fans yet. We’ll have a better impression of Singapore and the fans after tonight,” leader Yunho replied.

He added that Singaporean fans had been very welcoming and gave them lots of support.

It’s not difficult to see that the chilli crabs in Singapore had left TVXQ a lasting impression (the duo mentioned it again during the fan party).

When asked if they had the chance to taste any local delicacy, Changmin said, “We’ve tried pepper crabs and chilli crabs last night. We heard that it’s one of the most famous local delicacies here. It was really, really tasty. We know that Singapore is well-known for the seafood, since it’s surrounded by the sea.”

Being one of the top Hallyu stars definitely has its perks, but it has its downsides — the loss of privacy and being “ordinary”, as well as stress.

Changmin shared that the things he missed were travelling with his friends, and hanging out with them and having drinks together. The 23-year-old also reminded that he is already of age to have alcoholic beverages.

Yunho echoed the former’s sentiments, answering a short “same” first in Korean, then in English.

When questioned how they relieve stress, Changmin first answered that he would drink and have tasty food, especially spicy dishes.

On the other hand, Yunho demonstrated his athletic side, saying that he would go for snowballing during winter and in the other seasons, bowling.

Later, the enthusiasm TVXQ showed was evident, when the duo talked about their fans.

While no particular fan ever caught their attention, Yunho spoke on a special and memorable moment they had.

“When we’re performing, our fans would create ‘TVXQ’ or the members’ names with red light sticks. That’s very memorable for us,” he said.

Considering they are already one of the top stars in the Korean music industry, the media wondered what it would be like for them 10 years down the road.

“We’ll probably still be in this industry, doing what we’re doing now. We wish that we could put up such performances by then, but stamina wise, I’m not very sure if we still have the strength,” Changmin replied.

Yunho also pictured themselves doing joint performances with junior singers in the industry, and would probably be involved in individual careers such as acting in various dramas.

However, the pair has no acting projects at the moment.

It was a short interview, but TVXQ displayed their professionalism, candor and sincerity the entire time. The bright-eyed pair spoke in soft and gentle tones, only to raise their voices occasionally to show enthusiasm.

TVXQ may have debuted eight years ago, but the duo felt down-to-earth and that fame did not seem like it had gone over their heads.

NEWS TVXQ Tickles Fans With Singlish

[News] TVXQ Tickles Fans with Singlish

The Korean boy band was in town for an upclose and personal fan party yesterday.

Dubbed the ‘Kings of Hallyu’, Korean boy band TVXQ returned to the music scene with the album Why? (Keep Your Head Down) in January this year. Following their highly successful comeback, the group held their first overseas fan party in Beijing, China back in August.

TVXQ debuted as a five-member group, consisting of leader Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin. In 2009, three members — Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu — filed an injunction suit against their former company, forming the group JYJ. The trio was last seen in town for a showcase in October last year.

The two-member TVXQ arrived on our shores for the first time yesterday, performing to an audience of 4,500 fans at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

For the first 10 minutes of the fan party, concert-goers were entertained by the group’s music video for the song ‘Before U Go’. Fans screamed and shouted enthusiastically, whenever the members appeared on screen, as if assuring TVXQ, who were backstage.

Consisting of members Yunho and Changmin, TVXQ exploded on stage, bringing the house down with their first song of the night, ‘Maximum’. Deck in matching white costumes, the pair sang and danced to a sea of red light sticks (red being the group’s official colour).

After the first song, Yunho and Changmin took turns to greet the audience, both expressing their delight and excitement to be performing for the first time in Singapore and hoped that “fans would enjoy each of our performances”.

Fans also got to know the duo a little bit more during the Q&A session, but it was Yunho and Changmin’s apt use of Singlish, which had the fans doubled over in laughter.

When asked if they knew about Singlish, Changmin answered that he had learnt a few words from the local staff, before proceeding to show his “fluency”.

“No problem … la?” the 23-year-old tried.

Fans chortled in response, with a few nodding their heads in approval.

Not one to be outdone, Yunho said, “Chilli crab shiok!”

Later, five lucky fans each got the chance to ask TVXQ a question personally. Two well-made fan videos, which left some people in tears, were also chosen to be aired during the fan party.

Upon viewing the videos, Changmin said, “Thank you for the videos. I’m impressed by the amount of effort they put in. They give us the energy to put on our best performances.”

Yunho added that he was very “touched by their effort and love” and even though they have tough times, this “love [from fans] keeps us going and gives us support to do our utmost best”.

These two winners were rewarded with a TVXQ poster each. Yunho signed with a personal ‘God Bless You’ message, while Changmin wrote ‘Thank You’.

It might have been a short two-hour fan party, but it was evident that TVXQ was thankful for their fans, some who have waited for as long as seven years.

Not only did the group thank the fans profusely for their “love, passion and support”, they also showed their appreciation in the most practical way.

For any Cassiopeia (name of TVXQ’s official fanclub), the best part of the fan party was definitely to hear the pair perform ‘live’ in their top-notch condition. TVXQ proved their reign as ‘Kings of Hallyu’ by putting up a perfect performance. The duo’s singing was not compromised, despite the amount of dancing they had to do.

[TRANS] 111201 Coming To Shanghai Next Week To Meet With Their Fans, TVXQ Reminds “Cassiopeia” To Stay Sensible
Posted on December 1, 2011 by TheRarasaurus

All TVXQ fans have a collective, beautiful name – “Cassiopeia”, who will stay by their idols through thick and thin. On 9 December, TVXQ will be holding their “Asia Tour Fanmeeting in Shanghai”, and although they are carrying out activities as 2 members, their appeal cannot be underestimated.

Prior to the performance. TVXQ members Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin gave suggestions to “Cassiopeia,” via the organizers, asking them to ensure their own safety, and not to make any rash actions. TVXQ said that they can understand the feelings of the fans who have been waiting for such a long time, but safety is the most important issue, emphasizing that everyone should avoid causing unnecessary injuries for the sake of chasing after their idols.

The reporter also understands that, due to safety considerations, the organizers will be adding additional metal railings in the front, center and back areas of the arena, reinforcing the barriers, and have also hired 50 bodyguards for TVXQ to prevent any potential mishaps.

[News] Choikang Changmin, Meeting With 4,000 Japanese Fans Alone Without U-Know Yunho

[News] Choikang Changmin, Meeting With 4,000 Japanese Fans Alone Without U-Know Yunho

TVXQ’s Choikang Changmin took part in an event alone in Japan.

On November 17 in Yokohama, Choikang Changmin held a commemorative event for the DVD sale of his drama “Paradise Ranch”. Even if it was an event restricted to only purchasers who had bought the DVD set which costs approximately 33,600 yen (about 490,000 won), about 4,000 fans flocked to the event, showing off his high popularity.

Choikang Changmin recalled the times during filming and said, “During the talking and acting scenes, I didn’t listen to other people’s words so it caused some trouble.” On this day, there were talk segments and Choikang Changmin also presented a live rendition of “Confession”, for which he personally wrote the lyrics for. He opened up and said, “I was very nervous because there have been virtually no other times when I have sung alone.” In addition, regarding him doing the dubbing personally for his own role in this DVD, he smiled bashfully and said, “It was really embarrassing.”

On this day, Lee Yeon Hee, who starred opposite Choikang Changmin in the drama, also took part in the event. Lee Yeon Hee revealed her thoughts on participating in the drama, “Thinking of the times during filming, they were really enjoyable.” In addition, a video message of U-Know Yunho was also revealed, with him saying, “I think that Changmin-ee had done a great job. He showed off a manliness which was different from usual.”

[News] 111117 4000 People Scream Over Tohoshinki Changmin’s Kiss Scene

[News] 111117 4000 People Scream Over Tohoshinki Changmin’s Kiss Scene

The commemorative event for the DVD release of popular Hallyu group Tohoshinki member Changmin’s first drama [Paradise Farm] was held on 17 November in Kanagawa, Pacifico Yokohama. Around 4,000 fans gathered to participate in the premium event. The drama’s heroine, Lee Yeonhee, also attended and talked about episodes that occurred while filming the drama and also sang the drama OST song [Confession] in Korean, in front of their Japanese fans for the very first time.

-omitted drama summary-

The hall was filled with the high-pitched voices of the female fans as they cheered for Changmin. The scene in the drama that left the most impact was when, as opposed to his ex-wife Daji, he had his first kiss scene with his new lover Jinyoung. When the long kiss scene came on the screen, screams arose from the audience and Changmin grinned broadly as he said, “Actually, it was even longer than this.” He caused the female fans to sigh over this significant statement, “Although there were many memorable scenes together with Daji, as expected, this scene still stood out more. Excluding my private life (laughs), this was the longest kiss scene yet in my working experience.“

On the other hand Yeonhee, out of all the scenes the two had together chose the one where she quarreled with Dongju at a concert venue which included a kick and the line “Isn’t this a boob fetish!” included. “Though I was bewildered (when I read my lines), I think it also portrayed my original personality,” she made a confession about her surprising personality. In response to Changmin’s “It really hurt a lot”, the moderator retorted, “So in reality, do you have a boob fetish?” and Changmin induced laughs from the audience as he feigned ignorance with, “That’s a hard question to answer.”

To sum up the event, he sang the song [Confession] which had self-written lyrics. “I wrote the lyrics with the thought that even though I’ve separated from the person I loved, I still want to meet her again to confess my love to her once more,” he said as he revealed his thoughts. [Confession] was based on his own experiences as “although it was influenced by movies and such, I wrote the lyrics while thinking of my own experiences”. He playfully said, “In order to write good lyrics, I have to fall in love more“, causing the venue to drown in cheers.

Translation 111104 TVXQ “TONE” Release Event Gathers 15, 200 People Out of 200,000 Applications

[TRANS] 111104 Tohoshinki “TONE” Release Event Gathers 15,200 People Out Of 200,000 Applications

The Tohoshinki album “TONE” release event was held in Tokyo and Osaka on 1 & 3 November.

For this event, nearly 200,000 applications were received, and among them 15,200 people were gathered at the location. This event was approximately 1 hour long, and included the members’ talk as well as song performances.

Yunho and Changmin talked about the secret story behind the album release, and also about the shoot for the recently released photobook “El Sol.”  With such a special talk, the fans’ eyes sparkled involuntarily as they smiled.  They could feel the members’ thoughts that were not communicated in magazines and television programs, and this was probably very satisfying.

Furthermore, questions for Tohoshinki that were gathered from the public, and a corner with things that the fanclub wanted Tohoshinki to do were held at the event, and fans definitely caught a glimpse of a new honest side to the members.

For the live performance, 「B.U.T(BE-AU-TY)」, 「Duet」, 「I Don’t Know」 were the numbers performed, that excited the crowd. Also, this time, the album version of  「Duet」 to be released in the single on 30 November was revealed for the first time, moving the participants to tears.  At the end, they announced that there will be additional performances for their nationwide tour that starts in January 2012. Tohoshinki’s tour will see 20 performances held at 9 locations, gathering an expected crowd of 250,000 people.

With “TONE” doing well and staying in the top 10 rankings for 5 consecutive weeks, Tohoshinki will soon be releasing their first winter single  「Winter ~Winter Rose / Duet – winter ver. -」on 30 November. Also, the ChakuUta® version will be released starting 16 November.
