[TRANS] 111208 Changmin Writes Recommendation For SHINee’s “Children Of The Sun” Photobook

Although going to other countries to sing is a happy thing, but to be able to go to a city and enjoy it thoroughly is an even happier matter. Having such a holiday, and bringing back stories is moving, and leaves a lasting impression despite not being there myself.

Opening their hearts and embracing the culture presented before them, and looking at their expressions of true enjoyment makes one think that this vacation is definitely one that will stay in their memories for a long time. Just by looking at these memories of theirs makes me blessed.

[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.
