DO NOT TAKE OUT!!
090320 CD Data Magazine- Yunho's Personal Interview
Yunho: Hey it’s strawberry season now!
- Yes, but why? All of a sudden… (laughs)
Yunho: I was filming before and we went strawberry picking. I first came to Japan when it was almost this time and season of the year. TVXQ is not well known by Japanese people and we had fewer staff and before our first concert in Japan, we had many dreams. “We want to let everyone know that TVXQ exists in Japan” and that dream has come true, even more than I have imagined. We tried very hard and put our effort but we’re still nervous of the results. Then when we went strawberry picking I realized the Japanese culture and everything just blended in and I was excited. Do you remember? “I want to eat strawberries~~ strawberries ~~ strawberries” Is a song that I made.
- I remember. The lyrics are often changed “Yunho-ko~~ Yunho-ko~~ Yunho-ko~…….ah”
Yunho: Oh……. it’s not that song (laughs) “Yunho-ko~ I want to eat~” It’s like that (laughs) It’s difficult (laughs)
- Really (laughs). I’m impressed. TVXQ first came to Japan on November 23, 2004, and the five members arrived at Narita and I went there to cover you and a bunch of news reporters were gathered there. The five members were nervous, and Yunho was alone on answering the questions.
Yunho: I was. Those days I may not be recognizable/ you’ll not think of me as the leader. I think I did better than I expected that I would.
-The other four didn’t say , the reporters said “I don’t know anyone other than Yunho” when I asked them. I remember the feeling of it very well.
Yunho: I remember it well. I’d still be surprised when I think about it. Anyway, I’d blame myself for it since it was my lack of ability to think during such circumstances. Sometimes people unwillingly say things they don’t mean to. I don’t think my character has changes from when I was a child, I always thought the best thing to do is stand in front and have it all face me or would have to in between it, I wanted it that way. I’ve grown accustomed to it since my childhood, I think my personality is fine, the members came from different environments and paces in life, but we act as one in TVXQ. Somehow I didn’t think that as a leader, you’d have it easy as breeze and just skip it. I was very worried. I really thought I won’t get through it.
- However, the members say that lately, Yunho has become soft.
Yunho: I feel that myself. About two years ago. Little by little, I got off of having to always look out. The members have done things behind the scenes too from the times I felt we’re low.
-Sure. Yunho you said before that could be strict and sweet at the same time. Would you try to change that or was that just a gag?
Yunho: The members think that being adults is a gag. In the past we said “Even if we’d have solo activities, the five of us will continue to stay together” and everyone promised that that won’t change now. After all, no matter what happens, we’ll stay with each other!!we said deliberately, and because now because we’ve become more natural. When I look annoyed, Jaejoong also seemed annoyed. Right now, if it concerns each other we’ll work hard together. Yoochun has become more positive and strong minded now, he’s not lonely anymore. We have a lot of friends. The one who has grown the most is Changmin, I think he’s not the same. I’m sure enough that I’d suffer. Junsu has grown on his cute side, always smiling but that’s not a surprise anymore.
- And lastly, any words for the fans
Yunho: It’s TVXQ’s 5th year. Until now, it’s been very hard, and I think it’s all thanks to you. We’ll handle things better. Please continue supporting us. Please, please give more love to TVXQ and we’ll receive it. This May we’ll be having our Tour and i hope many people will come again. Please, please continue to take care of TVXQ.
