TVXQ’s Yunho receives IV treatments to keep up with schedule
TVXQ has just kicked off their comeback activities, and as expected, their schedule is full to the bursting point. To stay on top of his numerous activities, it’s been revealed that Yunho has been receiving IV shots.

Yunho mentioned before that he had a fever, which was why he wasn’t able to perform 100%. He’s reported more than once that he was suffering from a cold that affected his throat and nose, and it’s gotten to the point where it’s difficult for him to even speak. Despite it all, Yunho impressed his staff members by performing live for the majority of their comeback.

On top of his musical activities, he’s also begun filming for his drama, “Poseidon“.

His dedication and drive demonstrates that Yunho has returned to his ‘rookie mindset’, as he wants to throw in 300% of his efforts into his work, despite his poor condition.

Take care of yourself, Yunho!

JYJ’s Junsu talks about love and his most difficult times
JYJ’s Junsu made an appearance on YTN’s “News & Issues – Issues & People” on January 12th, and shared a candid interview with the MCs on set.

He began with an interesting story about being hit on: “A long time ago, there was a person who called me and expressed her feelings for me through the phone. She is a celebrity. There was also another person who is a part of a girl group.”

When the MCs tried to get their names, he avoided answering with a short laugh.

He continued, “Honestly, I had a female celebrity that I liked, but I wasn’t able to date her. I have to like that person a lot in order for me to date her. Physical looks and personality is also important for me as well.”

When asked to compare himself to his role in “Tears of Heaven,” Junsu replied, “I don’t think lightly of love at all, since sincerity is the most important to me.”

When asked about the happiest and most difficult times of his life, he stated, “All my life, there have been so many joyful, but also difficult, days. The hardest times for me were the past two years. After going through so much, the past two years allowed me to reflect over the issues I could’ve just ignored. I like to think of it as a study of that chapter in my life, but with a positive mindset.”

Regarding his lawsuit with SM Entertainment, he replied, “Losing those around me hurt the most.” With red eyes, he continued, “But I’ve also earned people who were willing to stick by me through the hardships and give me their support.”

Sorry for double post, but:

TVXQ expresses their thoughts about their comeback and JYJ
Worldwide Daily News and National Daily News recently met with the TVXQ members, Yunho (25) and Changmin (23), on January 11th at the SM Entertainment-managed ‘EverySing Karaoke’ event in Seoul. The duo shared their thoughts on their long-awaited comeback, their musical concept, and the strained relationship they hold with JYJ.

To begin, Changmin said: “The concept of standing up on stage for our comeback after such a long time was more nerve-wrecking than the fact that our group was reduced from five to two members. Once we stood up on stage, I realized I was a singer; it was really a tear-jerking moment.”

Yunho expressed, “I’m thankful to all the fans who waited for us. My condition wasn’t up to par for our broadcasts last week, but seeing our fans passionately supporting us gave me overflowing strength.”

He continued, “Musically, we kept with the same colors of TVXQ. We exploited of all our strong points to the best of our ability by assigning Changmin to the higher notes while I took the bass, all the while putting great focus on our performance. We were worried that our polar opposite voices might not match, but we ended up with a good result and a new color.”

Changmin stated, “We made some changes along with the member adjustments. If we put emphasis on a lot of us singing the chorus in harmony before, then this time, we’ve changed so that our music can keep both keep of our vocals alive; we’ve also changed our methods in expressing our emotions for the song.”

When asked about their reason behind performing a ballad song, “How Can I”, for their first comeback stage, Yunho answered, “We sang it because we thought it would have a mass public appeal. We wanted to approach the fans with a variety of genres by throwing out our ‘TVXQ: the dance group’ image.”

With regards to the new album concept, “It’s music with a middle-ground between our personalities and our harmonization. We tried our best in filling up the space of the withdrawn members, and we focused on masculine and dynamic choreography.”

“TVXQ is a team that was created by SM. Whatever their motive was for withdrawing from the group, we waited for them solve their problems with the company and come back to us.”

Changmin expressed, “We thought we needed to protect TVXQ’s name. When a swarm of geese prepare to migrate, they never forget to make the correct formation. I don’t think it’s right when a few of the geese who chose to broke away still considered themselves as part of the flock.”

With JYJ being unable to make appearances on TV shows and broadcasts, there have recently been an influx of speculations regarding the situation between TVXQ and JYJ. TVXQ expressed, “It’s not like our hearts are comfortable about this either. We are suffering difficulties, we just feel it’s more appropriate if we don’t say it.”

When asked whether the meanings of ‘betrayal’ and ‘regret’ in their “Keep Your Head Down” track was aimed towards the absent members, Yunho replied, “When you listen to the song, it is possible to think the song is talking about them, considering the similar situations. However each person’s interpretation of the song is different, and it’s only about a man who is sending away his previous love.”

Yunho also added, “In my darkest moments, I thought about TVXQ being forgotten. It’s true that we’re becoming more distant with those friends. We needed to solve this inner grudge but we hadn’t been in contact for such a long time, and as a leader of a group for 8 years, it hurt a lot.”

“When I was depressed, I rode the subway and wandered the streets by myself, and I learned a lot from it. I even went mountain climbing, and just like how I had to go through a difficult path to get to the top of the mountain, I also believe that this was an important time for TVXQ in order to get back on the right track.”

He continued, “We will definitely show why we’re TVXQ through our music. We will do our best in not being a disappointment to anyone.”

Changmin added, “We’re also aware of those who look at TVXQ in a negative light. Going on stage and using our fans’ support to wipe out those criticisms is our responsibility. We’ve come back prepared to take on that responsibility.”

= JYJ is not a part of TVXQ anymore.

[miroro]

well... i think the same as changmin
im glad they finally talked about this

[LizBrazil]

^
So you agree that JYJ aren't a part of TVXQ anymore?
Maybe we should start seperate threads like Soompi then.

[noisy_harmony]

Journey is lovely... Seohyun was unecessary for me there though, it was like it turned out to sound like a typical SNSD song for 1,5 minute.

is this ACTUALLY confirmed? since you know, there have been such situations when those controversial interviews turned out to be fake.

That not means I don't want it to be true. I admit, I was a bit shocked when I was reading this, but suddenly I thought: "Why they should have said about this in the other way?". They're thinking far differently than JYJ these days. Seems that's how things should go, no matter if it may hurt.

and i say NO about separate thread, what's the point of making it? it's enough that 3-4 persons visit this one already.

yes, tvxq are right now changming & yunho
even if people don't like it, it's not gonna change soon, so i don't know why people can't accept this.
saying this, it doesn't mean not supporting jyj

and no about seperate threads, it's easy to get all the info in just one.

So much stuff to share... Don't know where to start from.

Elle Girl Interview Translation - bringing nothing new but they're spoiling Homin shippers ()

Spoiler:

[TRANS] 110112 Elle Girl Magazine - February 2011 - Interview "TELL ME! The Real Heart Of A Man"

TELL ME! The real heart of a man.
In the season of love, this wonderful BOY special has been completed.


CHANGMIN
I have no confidence in saying that I've become a man! For love, it will start if we can get along.

Q. What kind of approach will you take on the person you like?

I guess I'll use our friendship for a start (laughs). I'm not too good at flowery approaches, so I think I'll gather everyone together and suggest a meal. I would be happy if a girl uses the such an approach to go after me. The pressure is lower and something will develop naturally♪

Q. A special sign you'll show to the person you like is?

I think there are 2 types of men. There's the type that tries hard to express their liking and the type that looks out for the other person's feelings. When it comes to love, I will have a lot of negative considerations, so I belong to the latter. (But) in order to know the other person's attitude (towards me) I might send a short e-mail; or in order to attract her, I might even show a sign. There might be others who are little more than amateurs like myself, so I hope that girls will give a little push as well and not just wait (laughs).

YUNHO
When in love, a man will want to become even more manly.

Q. In what way do you change when you're in love?

Not only to my girlfriend, but to my friends as well. If I have interest in someone, I'm the sort that will want to understand the other person even better. Therefore, if you look closely, my interests and the things I like are all similar to those around me. It becomes more fun when people of similar interests hangout together, right? It's the same for love, the more things we have in common, the more our liking (for the other party) increases.........

Q. The reason why men, as compared to their girlfriends, will have more consideration for their friends?

To a man, the position that friends and girlfriend takes is different. With your male friends or seniors, you talk about work, life and girls (boys' talk). But in front of his girlfriend, a man will want to look more manly and wouldn't want to show his weak or silly side. I guess we want to look cooler?!

Q. What if a close friend likes the same person?

I'll give it up if the other party is a really close friend like Changmin. I don't want to fight with my close friends (t/n: he uses the term "nakama" which indicates someone really precious to you) and I think a good man is one that wishes the other person happiness. If it's Changmin, compared to him, he's even more good looking and he's taller as well, so I'll give way to him (laugh).

Realizing our hopes, this is the first appearance of Yunho. His candid and energetic character is even better than what it is said to be!! "If Changmin is in love, it won't escape my eye! Because our existence is such that I'm the closest to him, I'm confident that I'll be able to tell. But I guess I'll be a little jealous (laughs)," showing the appeal of their close relationship.

From Yunho, we heard that he's finding it a little weird because Changmin has been more fashionable lately. "Compared to the past, his dressing is more mature now. Even his hats have changed....... Could it be that he's in love?" Changmin's counterattack in response to Yunho's banter, "It's simply because I've finally opened my eyes to fashion!!"


With Yunho in this photoshoot, there is an added sense of security, so this is the first time Changmin is showing us his younger side. When Yunho replied that he would "give way to Changmin" in reply to the question on what he would do if they liked the same girl, Changmin said with a complacent smile, "I'm so grateful for a person like this!" But once they got into the photoshoot, even their breathing was in sync and showed perfect teamwork!!

^wow, it took me like 10 minutes to see everything you posted thank you XD
i want to comment everything, but i don't where to start
so ill just say that min legs in those first paradise meadow pics are kinda... weird @_@

[waterballoon]

about the... JYJ not part of TVXQ anymore.. **** it. part of me says their words were scripted, the other part of me says maybe they have moved on.

whatever it is... let's all be supportive of them?

[noisy_harmony]

oh **** matha fatha



and look at this! it might make that interview a whole different meaning:

The translation from allkpop differ quite a bit from the chinese translation I've read on Baidu. Especially this line:

CHANGMIN...
“We thought we needed to protect TVXQ’s name. When a swarm of geese prepare to migrate, they never forget to make the correct formation. I don’t think it’s right when a few of the geese who chose to broke away still considered themselves as part of the flock.”

From the version that I read, he said 'We will protect TVXQ. Just like when a swarm of geese prepare to migrate, they never forget to make the correct formation, we would never wish for any goose to break away from that formation.' (translated from chinese)

Will someone please post that onto allkpop and prevent Cassies from being all emotional and crying? I just don't want to see Homin getting more hate based on an article which could be translated out of context/inaccurately. I've seen what they've been through and all the dramas that have unfolded and wish the best for Homin.

[hearted]

^that part with the geese made me laugh but cry too ;___; changmin i love the way you talk but do you really feel this way? ;_;

OMG aw man i miss those precious cutie moments XD

OH MY GOD watching those heech videos... no i know how i look like when i listen to that song .____________.


edit/
ok just saw this @ omona

"Changmin:”If you want to reunite as dbsk again, come back to SME”.

Changmin: “JYJ should have known from the time that they left that they wouldn’t be able to work under the normal circumstances, and that they would be faced with problems”.

Q: Is there anything you’d like to tell JYJ? Yunho:”just take care of your health.” Changmin:”No.” "

IMMA CRY NOW MKAY CHANGMIN WHY SO HONEST

[noisy_harmony]

^ I fear for him like seriously. Because some fans might have some opportunity to attack him :/


by honeyfunnybunny@omona post:

Rumors had been floating around this morning that Yunho and Changmin went for an interview with MAILBIZ news center; http://twitter.com/#!/mk_sokbo

That particular twitter account tweeted parts of the interview;

the original korean to thai translates can be found at @AD2055

I translated it from thai to english;
forgottenseason:
HoMin stated in an interview with MAILBIZ today "we want JYJ to come back, we will wait, and we will protect the name dbsk even though there's only the two of us" (via @AD2055)

Changmin:"If you want to reunite as dbsk again, come back to SME" (via @AD2055)

Changmin: "JYJ should have known from the time that they left that they wouldn't be able to work under the normal circumstances, and that they would be faced with problems" (2/2) (via @AD2055)

Q: Is there anything you'd like to tell JYJ? Yunho:"just take care of your health." Changmin:"No." (via @AD2055)

____

And I stated several times that people should take it with a huge pinch of salt, because the tweets have been deleted not long after things got out. I was fine with people retweeting the stuff, but no one bothered retweeting the source with the screencap, so it all sorta just boiled down to being me who spread the news, thus lead some people to believe that I'm a Homin-anti.

Don't shoot messenger.

and lastly, read whatever you want regarding this or that, but don't let it mess with your rationality. View things from different points of views and then judge, don't be narrow-minded. Believe in what you believe, waver, but never let it take your beliefs and hopes away from you

and another one:

On Wednesday 12th January 2011, @dorfehh said:

I don't know if this is true, take it with a pinch of salt and don't come jumping down my throat if something turns out to be a incorrect. I translated from what I read in the Chinese version.

再結合? - 三個成員首先必須先跟SM 解決問題, 如果10年後再見面的話, 先打一拳然後擁抱!

我們問了五個人再結合的可能性, 他們說 "三名成員跟SM解決問題是首先的課題" , 最強昌珉說 "三個人並不是跟我們兩人不和才出走的, 因此為了再結合, 有必需要先跟公司解決的問題"

如果10年後跟成員再重逢的話? 瑜滷允浩說 "得稍微罵一下吧, 雖然我會揍他們一拳, 但是好像一定也會擁抱, 我可能會說, 快點把你們走的路轉回來就對了"

Reunion? The three members must first solve their problems with SM, if we meet again in 10 years' time, we'll punch them before giving them a hug.

We asked about the possibility of the five members getting back together, they said 'The problems between the 3 members and SM must first be solved', Choikang Changmin also revealed 'the three of them did not leave because there was conflict between them and the 2 of us, therefore in order for us to come back together, the problems with the company must first be resolved.'

What if you were to meet again in 10 years' time? U-Know Yunho said 'I might tell them off a little, but even though I said I'd punch them, I think I'd definitely hug them as well. I might say 'turn around and come back.'

[TofuBunny]

1.Nat can I just say I love your long fat posts ? I don't have to bother looking up omona/soompi/tumblr this way ~

2.Well .. If they moved on, I think the fans should too. They expressed their feelings about this in a straight-forward way, I respect them for that, it's all what we wanted all this time.
And no to thread separation, almost everyone here supports both, even if they're separate artists now.
