[TRANS] 130424 Max Changmin Says, “Debuting At A Young Age, I Was Knocked Down Left And Right”

Max Changmin’s hidden competitiveness came out during ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’.

During the episode KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 23rd of April, the celebrity team went against the Mokdong Ping-pongs.

On this day, Max Changmin was the first one up to bat against the Mokdong Ping-pongs. He was more nervous about it than anyone else as he had been unable to participate in the last competition against the Sangdo-dong team and was less skilled at table tennis than his team members. Not only this, but his opponent’s considerable talent and his nerves had him making mistake after mistake.

Because of this, the Mokdong Ping-pongs were able to clinch an easy win over the singer and Max Changmin became extremely discouraged. After the competition, Max Changmin reproached himself as he said, “I was so nervous. Why am I a man of such poor caliber?”

However, he expressed his passion and competitiveness for table tennis as he confessed, “I used to be really competitive. But I was knocked down left and right because I had made my debut a a young age and was locked in competitions within the group and with other groups. So I found myself making excuses for myself about losing to others, and that put me at ease. But I think I’ve found my competitive streak again through table tennis.”

[TRANS] 130417 ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master’ Max Changmin Is Deemed By His Opponent As ‘The Easiest To Beat’

The episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 16th showed Max Changmin looking offended at being chosen by his opponents as the person who looked the easiest to beat.

On this day’s episode, the celebrity team of Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun, Kim Byung Man, Park Sung Ho, Max Changmin, Jo Dal Hwan and Minho went up against the Sangdo-dong team of Park Seon Wook, Lee Sang Hee, Kang Eun Soon, Jo Han Sung, Kang Bong Seok, Kwon Min Seon and Kim Young Rae in a battle of table tennis.

Before the competition began, Sangdo-dong’s Kwon Min Seon was asked, “Which member of the celebrity team would you like to go up against?” and shyly picked Max Changmin.

Following this, Kang Ho Dong asked, “Who would be your ideal type?” and was met by an unexpected answer of Kwon Min Seon choosing Kim Byung Man instead of Max Changmin.

Max Changmin was unable to hide his surprise and when he was told by Kwon Min Seon that she had chosen him because of his lack of table tennis skills, as she herself had not been playing for long, he had everyone laughing with his retort, “Oh~ (You chose me) because I’d be the easiest to beat?”

Meanwhile, the celebrity team was unable to beat the Sangdo-dong team, even with their hidden ace Jo Dal Hwan, much to the disappointment of the show’s viewers.

[TRANS] 130306 The Cast Of ‘Moonlight Prince’ Say Goodbye With Their Last Episode… Express Their Sorrow With Humor

The cast of ‘Moonlight Prince’ put aside their sorrow and ended their last filming schedule with humor.

The last filming schedule of KBS 2TV’s ‘Moonlight Prince’ took place on the 6th at the KBS building in Yeoido.

The day’s episode was centered around the relationship playbook for single women ‘Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man’ (written by Steven Harvey) and 2AM’s Jin Woon and Changmin, and Kim Tae Woo appeared as the final guests of the show.

The MCs of ‘Moonlight Prince’ (Kang Ho Dong, Tak Jae Hoon, Max Changmin, Brave Brothers, Jung Jae Hyung) began the episode with an introduction of the guest stars, who started off by talking about their recent activities and whereabouts.

The MCs set aside their disappointed sorrow of having their show canceled and instead focused on doing their best till the very end. Instead of lingering on the fact that it was the last episode, the guests also actively participated in the ‘book talk’ format of the program.

MCs Kang Ho Dong and Tak Jae Hoon touched upon their disappointment of having the show cancelled while talking with the guest stars.

Kang Ho Dong said, “‘Moonlight Prince’ is on the rise these days. We’re seeing an upwards trend.” This referred to the fact that the show recorded viewer ratings of 4.8% (Nielsen Korea), which was a 1.7% increase from the previous episode.

Tak Jae Hoon packaged his sorrow in humor as he stated, “You and I both were mentally out of it when we heard the news.”

Brave Brothers joked and said, “My image has gotten much better after I started appearing on the show, but now when you search my name, ’12 crimes’ comes up as a related search topic.”

In response to the MCs’ comments about the end of the show, the guest stars said, “We’ve enjoyed watching the show,” and the MCs showed their gratitude for the guests for watching the program.

Ahead of the last filming schedule of ‘Moonlight Prince’, PD Lee Yae Ji stated, “I received an unexpected and sudden notice last week that the show was cancelled. I told the MCs of the cancellation after I heard the news,” and “We’ll return with a better program.”

PD Lee and Kang Ho Dong will be returning with a new program after the end of ‘Moonlight Prince’. Regarding this, the PD seemed hesitant to share any information as she stated, “We haven’t yet decided upon a concept for the new program.”

Meanwhile, ‘Moonlight Prince’ first began airing on the 22nd of January. It will stop airing after its eighth episode on the 12th of March due to low viewer ratings.

‘Moonlight Prince’ is a ‘book talk’ variety show that chooses a book every week to act as a theme for the show’s talk segment. The MCs are Kang Ho Dong, Tak Jae Hoon, Max Changmin, Brave Brothers and Jung Jae Hyung.

[TRANS] 130220 ‘Moonlight Prince’: A Little Girl’s Sobs Leave Max Changmin Feeling Helpless

 

Max Changmin got on his knees in front of a little girl to beg for forgiveness.

The episode of KBS’ variety show ‘Moonlight Prince’ that aired on the 19th showed Max Changmin looking helpless when a child burst into tears because of him.

On this day, a segment of the episode had the MCs answering questions about ‘Charlotte’s Web’, the book chosen by guest stars Lee Jae Ryong and Lee Hoon. The viewers who came out to present the questions were none other than cute children.

Five-year-old Jeon Ji Won asked, “How many sections do Charlotte’s legs have?” and though this was the exact question that Lee Jae Ryong had predicted during the tutoring session ahead of the quiz, Max Changmin had said, “Psh, I’m sure that won’t come out in the quiz.”

Because of this, Changmin didn’t know the answer to the question and gave a silly response instead, causing the audience to burst out in peals of laughter.

However, because Max Changmin wasn’t able to answer the question in one try, Jeon Ji Won couldn’t receive a prize. The child looked angry as she shouted, “The answer is seven!” and began glaring daggers at Max Changmin.

Kang Ho Dong tried to calm her down as he said, “She must be really angry…” but Jeon Ji Won seemed to be extremely upset as she burst into tears.

Max Changmin gave her a hug and tried to soothe her, but she wouldn’t stop crying, resulting in Max Changmin getting on his knees to beg for forgiveness.

When Jeon Ji Won stopped crying, Kang Ho Dong said, “Cheer up. Give him a hug,” and she gave Max Changmin a hug, eliciting a smile from the viewers.

[TRANS] 130206 Max Changmin Says, “I Suffered Because Of Sasaeng Fans, I Received Psychological Counseling”

TVXQ’s Max Changmin confessed that he had suffered because of sasaeng fans.

During the episode of KBS2′s ‘Moonlight Prince’ that aired on the 5th, Max Changmin opened up and said that there was a time when he used to freak out when he saw students wearing their uniforms.

This was because of the hardcore fans who would follow him back to his house. Max Changmin confessed, “They could have just been students who happened to be in that area. But it was hard for me to deal with.”

Kang Ho Dong cautiously asked, “I heard that you received psychotherapy,” to which Max Changmin replied, “It was some light counseling.”

He continued to add, “I learned that psychological pain is harder to deal with than physical pain. It felt like everyone was staring at me, no matter where I went. I was a well-known person, but I felt like I had to avoid those people. It made me shut people out.”

Max Changmin was then asked, “Are you happy now?” and he replied, “Yes. I’m enjoying every moment that comes my way.”

Brave Brothers’ showed an understanding of Max Changmin’s situation. He confessed, “I had to receive treatment in my early 20s,” and “That was when I had just started my musical career, and I was having such a hard time. The diagnosis was that I was socially maladjusted.”

Meanwhile, Lee Bo Young appeared as the guest of the third episode of ‘Moonlight Prince’.

[TRANS] 130123 Max Changmin Paves The Way To Becoming The Prince Of Variety Shows In ‘Moonlight Prince’

The MC who stood out in KBS’s new variety program ‘Moonlight Prince’ on the 22nd was none other than Max Changmin. Even though he was wedged between veterans of the variety sector such as Kang Ho Dong and Tak Jae Hoon, he made his presence known with his witty and unexpected charm.

He began by seeing Kang Ho Dong, who appeared in a Peter Pan costume, and saying, “You’re making us all uncomfortable.” With appropriate gestures responding to his fellow MCs’ conversations, he had the studio in an uproar with his silver tongue as he broke his princely and modest image. He stated, “I didn’t date that much when I was a student. If I were able to go back to middle school, I would meet as many girls as I could.”

He continued to draw people’s attention when he made a confession about his beautiful (?) deviation from his model student life when he stopped talking to his father for three days because his father was against him becoming a trainee and making his debut as an idol singer.

Max Changmin, who has been called a ‘Man above all other men’ by Tak Jae Hoon during the show’s press conference, showcased a silver tongue that completely differed from his gentleman image. He received positive reviews for his charm and wit that captivated everyone in the studio.

It’s impossible not to compare Max Changmin to Lee Seung Gi, who also started off as a singer and became the ‘blue chip of the variety sector’ through ‘Two Days, One Night’ and ‘Strong Heart’. Regarding this, Kang Ho Dong said in the press conference that, “He’s someone with unlimited possibilities,” and “He’s similar to Lee Seung Gi in that he also works hard.” Many are curious to see if Kang Ho Dong will help Max Changmin become ‘the next prince of variety shows’ through ‘Moonlight Prince’.

Netizens showed an interest in this new side of Max Changmin as they left comments such as, “Max Changmin has an unexpected charm”, “He’s a charming character who is a mixture of innocence and silliness,” and “What new charm will Max Changmin showcase in the second episode of ‘Moonlight Prince’?”

‘Moonlight Prince’, headed by the charismatic quintet of Kang Ho Dong, Tak Jae Hoon, Jung Jae Hyung, Brave Brothers and Max Changmin, centers its talks around the books chosen by guests each week. The show airs every Tuesday at 11:10pm.
