Saipan – Members’ Comments, “DEAR MY FANS!”
Changmin.
DEAR MY FANS!
Recently, not only in Korea but also with Japan’s activities, I feel that the results are slowly showing up. I am always grateful to all of you who have been always giving us love. Last year, I felt that what my heart wanted to do was already done. To be able to repay all of you, I will work even harder!Jaejoong.
DEAR MY FANS!
Until now, I hope this book can show true, interesting photos. This is our 6th year since our debut, I am very grateful to everyone who has been looking at us change and our unchanging attitude. From now onwards, I will show an even more interesting side of me, please look forward to it.Yunho.
DEAR MY FANS!
Through ALL ABOUT DBSK, I hope that this can show more of our real, un-changed photos. I think that this is THSK’s growing journey. If everyone could understand that THSK has finally become adult and wants to show newer attitudes then I am very happy.Yoochun.
DEAR MY FANS!
To all fans, I am always very grateful. However, please do try to resist coming to our houses every night. There are alot of activities planned for today, all the members are growing up. In order to achieve the best THSK, we will work hard.Junsu.
DEAR MY FANS!
No matter where we walk to, we will always wait for you, I am very grateful. As we have been promoting overseas alot so I hope everyone understands. I feel that the reason we are able to grow and be who we are now is thanks to everyone’s existence. Our success in Japan might also be because of our fans in Korea so I am always grateful.Source: [mingjiscm]

“Please Be Mine” – Saipan interview July 19, 2009

Below is the translation of the boys’ interview during their stay in Saipan. I think it’s included in the “Please Be Mine” storybook/making book. They talked about their experience in Saipan and about their past vacations as well as the places they want to visit in the future.
Junsu is such a kid. He gets pleased easily by just mere playing games and spending time with the members. I was LOL-ing when I read about his LOVE for coconuts again. Hahaha. He should come here in the Philippines because we have lots of coconuts here which he’ll surely enjoy.
Changmin’s answers are a bit serious but the part where he said he climbed a mountain alone kinda surprised me. I can’t imagine Changmin doing that but then again, it’s “Mr. Unpredictable” Minnie we’re talking here so… yeah. LOL. Looks like Changmin loves driving so much. If I remember it right, he mentioned in an interview before that he would like to have a drive with his girlfriend as part of their date. I think driving around with a quiet guy like Changmin would be great especially if you want to just relax and have a peaceful atmosphere. Anyway, I have a question… where the heck is Paula Paula island???
Yoochun’s answers basically revolved around Switzerland and drinking. LOL. That boy (and JaeJoong) really loves drinking especially with friends. It’s a good thing they have high alcohol tolerance or else they would be in trouble after drinking due to extreme hangovers. And looks like the “I-love-coconut” virus of Junsu has infected Yoochun as well. I swear if I’ll have the chance to meet them personally in the future, I’ll bring a lot of coconuts for them. Hahaha!
Just like Changmin, JaeJoong wants to have a drive at a quiet place with someone. Can I be that someone?
II don’t mind driving around as long as I’m with Jae. LOL. Jae’s a really romantic and sweet guy. His words once again swept me off my feet. I swear his future girlfriend is the luckiest girl in the world. I guess the part where he said he went to China was the time where Junsu, Junho, Yoochun, and him went there for Crebeau. I also realized that maybe the “Paula Paula Island” that they’re talking about is actually “Bora Bora Island” where they filmed their HiYaYa MV. They always mention that whenever they’re asked of what summer place they’d like to go to. I think the boys really loved their stay there.
Some serious answers from Yunho but once again, he handled the interview very well. I love the part where he narrated what he did during his vacation. Rarely do we see stars do the things that Yunho did. Most of the time, celebrities will make the most out of their vacation by partying, going to the beach, and whatnot. But Yunho, being the thoughtful and caring man that he is chose to spend it with his family and pay a visit at his school and hometown. Leader-shi is indeed a good example that other young celebrities should look up to, don’t you think?
Saipan Interview – All Members…Please Be Mine Saipan Interview
Please Be Mine Saipan Interview – Junsu
- What do you think of Saipan?
JS: This is the third time I’m here but the vacation this time is the best.- Why is it so? Are there any incidents that have left a deep impression on you?
JS: It’s been a while since I’ve been to a vacation site and my mood is rather good too. There is ping-pong there and we played it for a very long time, it left a deep impression on me. Also, the members all drank beer in the evening and sang on a LIVE CLUB stage.- During the promotion for Mirotic, you did alot of exercise. Other than playing ping-pong, do you do alot of sports during your free time?
JS: I have already set my heart to do sports, other than that, I also play games, watch movies, just like normal times only more relaxed. Sleeping too, and since I like soccer, I also play soccer.- Your favourite sport is soccer? Do you have a team?
JS: Correct, my favourite is soccer. During our stay at Saipan, we played indoor soccer, it was very interesting.- What did you do during your free time before Saipan?
JS: I went home and it has also been 6, 7 years since we had a family outing. We went to the beach, ate raw fish. Although it is not a very special occasion but it was definitely worth treasuring and I enjoyed it alot.- If you have a special off-days, are there some things that is a must do? What do you think is the secret to spending your vacation happily?
JS: While being on vacation, I would usually wonder “I want to do this, I want to do that” and have alot of plans but when the vacations are over, I usually don’t do any one of those. On the contrary, I would not want to go out and get a headache deciding on where to go. If I have time, I’d rather stay at home.- Then, in the future, if you have any more vacations, what do you want to do the most?
JS: HOLIDAY!- And to where?
JS: Although the main reason of us coming to Saipan this time round is due to filming, but I did feel abit of a vacation. Sleeping on the island, drinking coconut juice and have also become even closer with the members.- Do you like places that are similar to Europe?
JS: I like places that are more soothing instead. Places with coconut trees seem to bring about more comfort. (T/N: <3 Be careful not to get hit by the coconuts!)Please Be Mine Saipan Interview – Changmin
- What do you feel about Saipan?
CM: Although we have already came thrice, but I still feel that this time was better because it was really interesting.- I heard that you had a few days off before coming to Saipan, what did you do during that period?
CM: I met up with friends and drank together, ate together and climbed a mountain myself. It has been about a year since I saw my friends so I used this opportunity to meet up with them. If I have extra time, I would also go for a few courses regarding singing. (T/N: Always hardworking Changmin biggrin.gif)- Do you have any secrets to spend vacations happily?
CM: Talking about rest, because we have gone through a full year of promotion and activities, compared to planning on where to go, I rather pass the days quietly. Other than meeting up with friends at night, I don’t go out and stay at home to listen to music.- While vacationing, compared to cities, you seem to prefer places that are more soothing?
CM: Although I rerally love quiet self-mediation places but if I have the chance, I would like to go to New York, a place where there are alot of people.- Recently in vacations, do you have any deep impressions of anything?
CM: Driving by mself. Driving aimlessly, not really wondering where to go. If I’m around Seoul, I’ll go back and proceed on to Incheon then going on to Gyeonggi-do then climbing a mountain and proceeding home while listening to music.- Do you have any plans for the rest this summer?
CM: Although we did not have a rest this summer but if we did, I would like to go to Paula Paula Island (T/N: No idea what this is, directly translated) with my lover. The last time we had a family outing was 7, 8 years ago so I would like to go on a holiday with my parents and sister. I’m not sure if it could be fulfilled.- If you had free time, would you like to do alot of sports?
CM: The members all love sports. I like exercising myself but I also like doing it as a group.- Are there any incidents that left a deep impression on you this time round in Saipan?
CM: On the last day, me and the workers were chatting while walking, the members were sitting at the sea side at the far end and were drinking beer carefreely.I really miss that night’s last meal, every moment has left a deep impression.- Think about a future you?
CM: To be able to have a happy family.Please Be Mine Saipan Interview – Yoochun
- Of all the things you have experienced in Saipan, were there any that left an impression?
YC: Picking coconuts to eat. It seems like I was able to open a few coconuts with just one move. This is a first-time experience. It held a real wildlife experience. And also, going to the beach after visiting a beershop. In the evening, we were drinking beer together with the staff.- Do you have any plans for this year’s summer vacations?
YC: We must have our rest days first..- During vacations, where do you want to go and with whom?
YC: I want to go to Switzerland alone.- Alone? What kind of person are you?
YC:To be honest, I’m the kind of often feels lonely and that’s how my inner self shows.- It seems to fit an Europe holiday.
YC: I personally like Switzerland. For Europe, I like Brazil and Czech Republic.- Do you have any special reason for your liking for Switzerland?
YC: I have come across some nice background scenery of Switzerland and I like them alot. After going to Switzerland, I’d like to go to Provence.- If you have a lover, where would you like to go?
YC: I would like to go to a place with a good atmosphere. First thing that I want to do is to bring her out at night after a day at work.- Which vacation left the deepest impression?
YC: I can’t exactly call it a holiday. It was in Japan and we left for the hot springs. Everytime we go there, the memory is precious to me.- During the activities in Japam, what would you do when you go back to Seoul?
YC: There really is alot of things. I would like to drink and of course my tolerance is not bad. I would like to see Korean staff overseas as well so when I go back, we can drink together. Although I don’t really like a crowd but I can manage drinking with the staff,- You don’t like to go to a place with a crowd in Seoul?
YC: I don’t go. I usually go out in the evening. If it’s in the morning, I’d feel dizzy. (T/N: Ofcourse, since YC Isn’t a morning boy!)Please Be Mine Saipan Interview – Jaejoong
- What do you think about Saipan? Did you film a lot of sports scenes?
JJ: The things that happened were more than expected. It was a holiday full of interesting scenes and also, hardship.- Were there any things that left a deep impression?
JJ: Because I had to become a MC, it was quite burdensome and hard, to be honest. (T/N: <3 We’re here!!)- Do you have any special plans for this year’s summer holidays?
JJ: Actually, we had no vacations. But if we had the time, I would like to go back to my hometown and meet up with friends. During the rest before coming to Saipan, me and my friends went to China. (T/N: ZOMG AND NO ONE REALIZED?!?!) Although the time was short but we ate alot of delicious food and played alot.- Where would you like to go if you had a vacation?
JJ: I would like to drive to different places. Not Seoul but to a quiter place.- Is there anyone you’d like to specially go with?
JJ: If I had a girlfriend, I would go with her but it’s okay if I’m going alone as well.- Why would you want to drive there?
JJ: Compared to China, I prefer to drive to places. It’s relaxing and comfortable. (T/N: wasn’t driving stressful?!) I can also bring alot my favourite songs. If I like someone, the thing I would want to do would be to bring her along. Ah, and on our anniversary as well.- What kind of music would you want to listen to?
JJ: I don’t really have a specific genre for music.- In your previous vacations, which one has the deepest impression?
JJ: Going to Paula Paula Island with the members.- Is there any special reason?
JJ: It is the most beautiful island to date, and is a good self-meditation place. As we had to go there to have a shooting for a poster, it is a place full of good memories.- Personally, if you go for a vacation, do you prefer cities or self-meditation places?
JJ: It;’s not either actually, I just like to go to a place. Even if it’s not somewhere far, I like to drive to different corners. There is also another reason – because I hate the sun so compared to the day, I prefer the night although it might be a little dangerous. (T/N: Jae, the pretty boy who can’t stand the sun XD)- During the activities in Japan, what would you like to do if you go back to Seoul?
JJ: There is no special thing, just meeting up with friends and drink.- Is it very stressful and troublesome to have security following you?
JJ: I’m used to it now and have already learnt how to face it.- How do you reduce the stress?
JJ: Composing. Once I have the time, I would compose and relieve my stress at the same time.Please Be Mine Saipan Interview – Yunho
- What do you think about Saipan?
YH: Although we have been exercising the whole day but it is rather interesting to film in such a carefree environment. When the shooting ends and we drink together with the staff, play ping-pong and swim at night. It was really enjoyable. Although we are always shooting and filming and we feel tired but we will show everyone our comfortable and enjoyable self and let the fans who see this feel like coming here as well. That is why letting everyone see our genuine self is not something bad.- During this period, are there any things that left a special memory?
YH: It’s swimming and playing basketball in the water with the staff. We also played hide-and-seek, ate and chatted freely together. It really is a deep impression. (T/N: Omg, hide-and-seek, dorky them XD) It is just like going to the army with my friends. Our members have never ended army during their university period but it really feels like army.- Do you have any special plans for this summer vacation?
YH: If I am unable to go to Las vegas, I would like to go Jeju Island. If there is still time after the shooting today, I would like to go to a clean place to walk around. To be able to go to a place where not many Koreans know isn’t too bad. Our country has alot of beautiful places to go but there are also alot of places that we haven’t went.- Where would you usually go during a vacation?
YH: This time we went back to Gwangju Metropolitan City. Firstly, I went to pray to the ancestors and then proceeding to the elder village and gave my grandparents delicious food. I ate with my family and went back to my former school. Actually, because my parents like to help others, I have learnt to do that unconsciously as well.- Which part of Seoul do you like the most?
YH: Since I was born in Jeolla-do, so I have deep feelings for Jeolla-do. But I also like Seoul.- Do you frequent a place in Seoul?
YH: I occasionally go to Seoul Tower. I’d go to the roof by myself and since I like the sea, I would also go to the seaside with my friends.- If you have a lover, where is a must go place?
YH; Of course a tourist attraction especially the Santorini Island. If I go with my girlfriend, it would be very romantic. I would also like to bring her home and let her see tha place I was born in. (T/N: -raises hand- , me please!)- Is there a place that has left a deep impression?
YH: I remember going to the nami Island in Chuncheon with 6 boys wearing high school uniform last year. I like going out with a bunch of guys. Riding a motorcycle, sitting on a boat is a very recent interesting vacation memory.- During the activities in Japan, what would you do in Korea if you go back? Of course it is if you have the time to.
YH: To go out with my members and friends. As we hardly have any time so I would like to go out and play when there is time. But in reality, time that actually belongs to yourself is never there. Ah~ I would also go for a holiday and go bowling.- Alot of popular people will leave a long impression on others. What does Yunho want to be?
YH: To be able to enjoy life every day, even if it’s hard, I would work hard. Although I don’t really like leading life to be too ideal but comapred to a 100 dreams, I think it is better to have a 1000 dreams. For goals, I must have a 1000% determination and work hard even if I can’t achieve that much but at least I would reach 999% so I will use all my strength before I succeed. In the future, I would like to become the responsibility of those who want to be able to become the driving force of our country, but until now, there are those who are finding a hard time find an opportunity. Although I am unable to see the results of the future right now, but if I start working hard now, I will become proud of myself one day, right?
- Are you contented with your life now?
YH: When I just started, it was quite hard and it wasn’t easy to get used to it. I would also occasionally suspect if I did the wrong decision. Because my surroundings are gradually changing, I feel that life is abit wild at the end. I will work hard until I am able to do very good.Source: [demonhome]

It’s almost 4am here and I’m still awake. This is the price I have to pay for sleeping almost the whole day yesterday. *sigh* Anyway, here’s my last post before I finally begin my attempt to fall asleep. It’s a translation of the first part of the boys’ interview from the August issue of Arena 37′C magazine. The interview is basically about their 4th live tour since they were in the middle of the tour when they had this interview. They talked about how they felt about the tour this time around and narrated some notable moments they had during the tour.
Enjoy reading! I’ll have to try to sleep now since I still have to got to my friend’s party later at lunch. I’ll post their interview in Saipan later when I get back and I’ll try to post the Mirotic in Beijing pics, too. I know those have long been due but I hope you’d forgive me because their storybook pictures have side tracked me a bit. LOL.
Arena 37゜C August 2009 Issue – Part 1 (Personal Interview – About The Tour)
★JEJUNG★
Q. Since the tour began, until now, what left the deepest impression on you?
A. I don’t have a deep impression over a particular aspect, rather, I feel really good about the tour as a whole. Although it’s intangible, but just by standing on the stage, I can feel that I’m really blessed.Q. Unexpectedly (blessed).
A. Yes. As for the reason, I’m not sure myself, it just feels like that this time around. I like to look down from the stage and look at the expressions of the audience.Q. During the MC segment, you previously said that you “could see the audience’s expressions”.
A. Yes, to be able to even see their expressions, to think that these thousands, tens of thousand fans are here just to see the 5 of us as Tohoshinki, sometimes it still feels unbelievable. I feel really blessed.Q. During the tour, was there anything in particular that made you feel stressed out or that it was difficult?
A. Before the tour began, Junsu got hurt. He couldn’t participate in some performances, so there had to be necessary changes made to the stage and our placement on the stage, but the feelings and the connection between us did not change. Just by looking at Junsu, I get this feeling, that to be able to dance together as the 5 of us is not easy and really precious.Q. It’s really an unforgettable memory. Are you nervous about the tour?
A. I don’t feel nervous. Maybe it’s because I’m already familiar with the locations, so I feel really at ease and I get the feeling like “If it’s like that, it should be okay”. Coming here again, I get really strong feelings like “This year I must do my best too”, but without any nervousness or stress.Q. During the MC segment at Saitama Super Arena, you were forced to talk about your first kiss by Changmin. You didn’t expect that then, right (laugh)?
A. Yes~! I didn’t even expect this kind of topic to come up, I didn’t want to talk about it (laugh)! But, this kind of topic is really not suitable for that situation!Q. But you didn’t have a choice then, right (laugh)?
A. Yes, that’s why I felt so helpless… (laugh).Q. Well then, the videos that were shown during the Lives also left a deep impression, let’s talk a little about the filming process.
A. It’s almost like filming a drama, but I also had a little mishap here. My partner was a Russian girl, who didn’t know Japanese at all, and we had no way of communicating. What’s more, she was even taller than me…Q. A girl taller than Jejung?
A. Her height is roughly the same as mine, but those who are sitting down and watching, will think that the girl is taller (laugh). It seems like her hands are also larger than mine… (laugh).Q. I see. Up until right now, was there any moment where you felt like “I must try my best at all costs here”?
A. During the encore song, the members can actually drink water in the middle, but I couldn’t drink then, I had to go straight into the MC segment.Q. And that was then followed by the next song?
A. Yes (laugh). I really worked hard for that!★YUCHUN★
Q. For the tour this time around, I heard there’s a performance with piano accompaniment. How do you feel about it?
A. Really! Really! Really! Stressed~ Although I’m already familiar with the atmosphere and surroundings of the arena, it’s a little different this time. I can’t be careless!!Q. Definitely. You have to concentrate on playing the piano as well as sing, it must be difficult.
A. It’s very difficult. For example, if it’s just my own part, then there’s no problem at all. But because there are many parts where we harmonise together, it becomes more difficult. The melody is also a little different, I have to put in my feelings into the song, that’s difficult too… Not just my own voice, but when I play the piano, I have to put in my feelings too.Q. You mean to say, that the sound of the piano must have depth of feelings too?
A. Yes. I think that even if it’s a piano, it can be affected by its environment and emit different sounds according to the feelings then. I have to think about playing the piano, and also put in feelings for the song… it’s too difficult to have to consider these 2 things together (bitter laugh). But, I feel really blessed when performing too. The 4 others are surrounding the piano singing along! Of course, I also feel the heavy responsibility, but I also feel the joy that I’ve never felt before.Q. I believe you feel this way because of the chemistry that exists between all of you. By the way, before making the decision to perform on the piano for the tour, you must have practiced a lot, right?
A. I practiced. In my own room, or at the office.Q. Yuchun is also really good at livening up the atmosphere and getting reactions from the audience, is that practiced too (laugh)?
A. Of course… I didn’t practice that (laugh). At that time, I just do whatever my heart feels.Q. When shouting out, it feels like Yuchun is leading the shouting.
A. I just naturally became “in-charge” of this.Q. “In-charge” of this (laugh)?
A. Yes. But it feels really good when shouting. At that moment, it seems like all my feelings can be sent into the hearts of the fans. It’s really exciting.Q. Is there a segment that you like in particular?
A. I really like “Purple Line” and “呪文 -MIROTIC-”, these 2 songs. Following the beats of the band, it really gets your blood pumping. I still feel that the accompaniment of the live band is the best!Q. The atmosphere at the live will also become really high. On the other hand, is there any thing that makes you feel it was a failure?
A. Previously, I forgot the dance steps to “Share The World” and “O- 正・反・合”. It’s my first time making a mistake for these 2 songs. It feels like the audience didn’t notice it, but I still feel embarassed about it, really sorry!Q. Also, in the video that was shown, there’s a scene where you were dumped by a girl.
A. Among the members, there were those who got dumped, and those who did the dumping. Maybe it’s because my eyes looks sadder, so they thought that the scene would be more suitable, as I’d be able to portray that sadness… the people around me all think that way (laugh).★CHANGMIN★
Q. This time, you can sit on the platform and interact with the fans, and the atmosphere also seems different from last year’s tour, did you notice that?
A. For me, I don’t really feel strongly about this, but people around me say this often. Because the camera crew is the same as last year’s, the camera man said “Last year, you didn’t look at the camera much, but you did really well this year”.Q. It wasn’t on purpose, but you just did it naturally?
A. Yes. I really like the feeling of jumping along with the fans, I’m more happy than I expected to be.Q. Looking back on it as a whole, was there any moment where you felt like it’s tiring and difficult to deal with?
A. It should be physically, the ones where we perspire the most and use the most energy would be “FORCE”, “Purple Line” and other dance songs. I think it’s really difficult at those times.Q. Although I’m not really sure, but it’s always said that Changmin perspires the most…
A. That’s right (laugh). After the first song ended, I’m already covered in perspiration (laugh).
Q. With regards to gaining back your energy after a live performance, does Changmin have any special remedy?
A. Drink a lot of water everyday.Q. Drink immediately after waking up in the morning; like that?
A. Not just in the morning, but really, throughout the day.Q. This is good for your metabolism, but you still perspire?
A. But… I’ve always perspired easily since I was a kid (laugh).Q. It’s been like this since you were a child?
A. Yes. But maybe it’s because I usually drink a lot of water, I don’t feel as tired this year, as compared to last year. My throat didn’t become sore too.Q. I see. In order to express each song fully, and according to the different requirements of the songs, it demands a lot out of your voice. What do you think?
A. I think it’s a necessity to constantly improve. But, just to change the vocals is not enough, I think I still need to improve when it comes to putting in feelings, this is also a skill required in performing.Q. Which is to say, you won’t just adjust your voice, but adjust it according to how your feelings change?
A. I think it’s like that. Sometimes I’ll make adjustments on purpose, but I still feel that it’s better to make the adjustments according to how my feelings change.Q. Up until now, do you feel… you’ve failed in any aspect?
A. Isn’t there a performance where we’re singing and the stage is moving towards the audience at the same time? That’s really high… really scary (laugh). At the beginning, I kept thinking about what I should do if I cannot fully concentrate enough to dance (laugh).Q. If you look from above, it must be really high.
A. (In a definite manner) Very high!Q. Very high (laugh). But, after experiencing it a few times…
A. I got used to it slowly, now I can sing without worries… How do I say this? I still can’t relax completely (laugh). But, I can already gather my full concentration to sing, so please be assured everyone!★JUNSU★
Q. At Saitama Super Arena, it seemed like your foot injury ws not completely healed yet. Is it alright now?
A. Yes, I can dance now. I will slowly dance more for the last half of the tour, please do not worry.Q. For this tour, during the performance of “Beautiful You”, so portion where you stood alone and sang under the spotlight left a deep impression. At that moment, what did you feel?
A. It’s different every single time, I’ll go with the flow of the atmosphere then. Because that portion is an improvisation, the tune is dragged out longer, or maybe to change a breath, just performing it naturally.Q. Which is to say, at different times, the feeling is different?
A. Yes. I drag my voice out longer, or make it huskier, it changes like that.Q. For this tour, which part made you feel like you’ve put a lot of effort in singing and performing?
A. No matter what song, I treat every song seriously. But because “Stand by U” is a new song, we have to take into consideration that it’s the first time everyone is hearing it, and we hope that everyone will like it, so we’ll take special care in thinking about the lyrics while performing.Q. This time all kinds of videos were filmed too. How do you feel about that?
A. I did something that I’ve never done before, it was something I could challenge myself with, so it felt good. While filming, I’ll keep thinking of the results of the filming, so there’s expectation but insecurities as well.Q. What do you have to take note of when filming?
A. I have to keep confirming and filming in front of the camera. When it ended, it really felt like that was the best cut already (laugh). It’s thanks to the crew that we had such good results.Q. The video during the Live is also important, right?
A. It can influence the overall effect as it’ll be used from the time filming is over until the end of the tour. Because this will be used repeatedly, so there was a bit of stress (laugh).Q. During the tour, was there any portion where you felt you failed at?
A. For me, I got injured the day before the tour, and it resulted in the 5 of us being unable to dance together. This thing is the most (regrettable)… I really feel so sorry.Q. But, the fans gave Junsu a really heart-warming reception.
A. I’m really, really thankful to everyone. I want to do the best I can… even if it’s just my own feelings, I want to send it across to everyone. Now, this feeling I have is the strongest it’s ever been.Q. I think that this feeling that Junsu has for everyone has already been sent to them.
A. If that is the case, that would be great.Q. Also, during every Live, you’ll be asked “Any new gags?” during the Talk. You must feel really tired (laugh).
A. It’s very stressful~ (laugh). I have no new gag material, so I can only do the old ones… even if I think of new ones, they are used so quickly.Q. So, for the next half of the tour, we’ll look forward to your new gags and your performance after your recovery~ (laugh).
A. I will put in everyone’s concern and my own thankfulness into my performances, and send it to everyone as thanks.★YUNHO★
Q. “4th Live Tour 2009 ~The Secret Code~” is being held currently, what are your thoughts about it this time?
A. For this tour, compared to the previous tours, there are more “show” segments, it feels like we are enjoying the Live together with the fans. Also, there are a lot of dance songs, it feels really exciting. Ballads are also inserted in the middle, to make it more balanced.Q. At the opening, there’s a portion for a solo dance. At that moment, did you feel nervous?
A. Yes… very nervous. Especially at the beginning of the tour, I felt stressed and really nervous. But, as soon as I step on the stage, all I feel is happiness after that. After receiving everyone’s support, I want to let everyone know that these are my thoughts.Q. Right after the intense dance performance for “呪文 -MIROTIC-”, Yunho starts off the song “Heart, Mind and Soul”. It must be really tough here?
A. Very difficult, even more so than I thought it would be… (laugh). To be honest, when I first saw this itinerary, I was already questioning whether there would be any problems. After a very intense dance performance, it’s immediately my part again. But after singing, it felt really good. After an intense dance performance, the lights on the stage darken, at that moment, I’d prepare myself and throw myself into the next song. This feeling is really great.Q. Even though it’s really difficult, it feels really good.
A. Yes, we also had to change costumes quickly then, so realistically, adjusting the breathing is really hard. But, seeing the happiness of the fans at the Live, it makes me feel like it’s worth it, and thus makes me happy as well.Q. During a performance, which aspect is the most important to you?
A. For dance, it’s still “Purple Line” and “呪文 -MIROTIC-”. Because it’s a wide stage, so we feel the need to fully present the impact of the dance to everyone. Especially for “呪文 -MIROTIC-”, which incorporated the use of the screens at the Live into the dance; I think this point is important.
Q. For this tour, it seems like you are more concerned about the members surrounding you, and not just noticing your own portion. Is it because you want to make sure of the rapport between the members and their condition?
A. You praised me too much! That wasn’t on purpose as well, I think its more like a habit that I developed naturally. Previously, it feels like I did it purposefully, but from 1 or 2 years ago, I think it just became a natural thing.Q. To develop this habit naturally, that’s really great. But on the other hand, up till now, is there anything you felt was a failure?
A. During the solo dance for “Choosey Lover”, I lost my balance and I went a little out of tune while trying to regain my balance. But at that moment, I tried hard to make it seem like it was done on purpose, to make everyone think that it was planned. At the end of that, Sam-san said, “That was on purpose (laugh)?” I laughed and replied, “That wasn’t on purpose (laugh)”. After that, during “Nobody Knows”, my teeth bumped into the microphone (laugh). I bore with it and sang till the end. But it really hurt (laugh).T/N: PART 2 COMING SOON^^

Here’s a translation of the short interview of the boys from SCawaii! magazine. I find the questions a bit random but some of the info after the interview were kinda interesting.
JaeJoong and his “I don’t understand why girls wear mini skirts and ride a bike at the same time” comment again. He really doesn’t like that, eh? It’s a good thing I don’t know how to ride a bike so me wearing a short skirt and riding a bike will never happen. LOL.
Junsu is such a sporty person. He loves almost all the games there are today! Hahaha. But he’s really not the type of guy who loves fashion (unlike JaeJoong and Yoochun). I guess he thinks there are better things to do than spend a lot of energy shopping for fashionable clothes.
I love Changmin’s answer on what a man is. Very simple but so true.
LOL @ Yunho and his love for anime. I think out of all the members, he’s the one who loves watching them the most. About his trend in clothes…Why don’t I see him wearing leather jackets that often? I think he’s more into cropped pants/shorts nowadays and it looks like he’s into laid-back style based on his airport pics.
Yoochun and his slippers! ROFL!
He’s often seen wearing slippers alongside his cropped pants at airports and stalker pics lately. I like his fashion sense – very relaxed and seems so comfortable. I wish JaeJoong would wear shorts and slippers just like Yoochu does.

A: I’m into Avant right now. (T/N: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avant)Q: Which part do you think you can’t understand most about girls?
A: Why do they have to wear a mini skirt and ride a bicycle at the same time? (laughs) I wouldn’t like my girlfriend to be like that.Q: How do you think of SCawaii!’s models’ attire?
A: Their attire isn’t bad, especially their makeup which makes them look cute, and their eyelashes are long. The eye makeup was fine; making their eyes looked big and bright.Q: Trend in clothes?
A: Leather belt and accessories, etc. I like to use accessories to bring out my fashion sense. Before the spring turns warm, I always like to wear skinny jeans with boots.JUNSU
Q: What are you into right now?
A: I like ball games; everyone played at his heart’s content. When we go back, we will wash up and eat a meal together.Q: The music that you like?
A: I like hip-hop. There isn’t any specific artist that I like, from oldies to new songs, I like a wide range of music.Q: Trend in clothes?
A: I like overcoats. A black overcoat with casual trousers, I had this combination very often.Q: Introduce a sacred land for a date?
A: The Han River. At the river side, there is a garden and a store; it’s the best place to take a walk.CHANGMIN
Q: Trend in clothes?
A: Often, I will be in T-shirts or polo shirts together with jeans.Q: What do you think of SCawaii!’s models’ attire?
A: Very charming. Compare to males, females had more styles, I envy that a lot.Q: Introduce a sacred land for a date?
A: I introduce the N Seoul Tower. It can calm one’s emotions while on top, looking at the scenery.Q: What’s a man?
A: Having a sense of a responsibility.YUNHO
Q: What’s a man?
A: Having the ability to protect.Q: Trend in clothes?
A: Leather jacket X cowboy outfit. There are still spectacles, even though my eyesight is great. I really like spectacles, therefore I’m collecting them.Q: You sang the theme song for “One Piece,” do you like anime yourself?
A: I loved it, to the extent that once I watched the DVD, I have to stay up till it ended.YUCHUN
Q: Trend in clothes?
A: Slippers! I love slippers, to the extent that I still feel like wearing them even if its winter.Q: The music that you like?
A: Recently, I really like instrumentals.Q: What did you bought lately?
A: Things that I bought… Compared to clothing, I prefer accessories and daily appliances. Recently, I wanted to try out the red and black fashion, so I bought a red mirror and chair.Q: The members say that Yoochun is a romanticist.
A: So embarrassing. (laughs) It might be because I always said “If I had a girlfriend, I would want to do this for her…” or it was because I’m the type who will do a lot of things for her.~
- The members of DBSK live together.
- When the five of them were in a car together, Yuchun and Changmin will be choosing the songs. (If they were in a house, then all of them will have earpieces on)
- All the members like buying stuff, except Junsu.
- There isn’t a member who “claimed that he had excellent conditions, but wasn’t positive regarding relationships.” If we had to choose one, it will be Changmin. He always possesses a calm attitude, just by staring at his expression, and you won’t be able to guess what’s on his mind.
- Yunho lets us feel he is a steady fellow as a leader. However, in reality, he always knocks over the things on the table, and constantly losing his stuff and spoils them, having a muddled side of him.
- In DBSK, if we were to create a pretending-to-be-silly-and-吐槽* group, Junsu will be the one who’s pretending to be silly, and the offensive one will be Yuchun. It’s because Junsu is naturally silly, while Yuchun’s words were simple yet direct.
* 吐槽 is a slang used in Taiwan thus there weren’t an exact word in English; therefore, I’m using an example for this:
A: C is good looking
B: I don’t think so.B is an example of the adjective.
