For the preparations of the new album, there seemed to be a big worry and burden associated with it. “We weren’t nice comers but it felt like we actually were,” the two members said. “We really missed the stage,” says Yunho. As the two of them appeared on stage for the first time for their comeback, they swelled with feelings such as, “I guess I was originally the kind of human being who was meant to be sing on stage.” They also said that after the broadcast had finished, they had been on the verge of tears.
And also more than anything, the two members had to work hard to perfect their harmony and fill the absence of the three members. Yunho wanted to continue to show Dong Bang Shin Gi’s music style in their new album too. A song that could make use of Changmin’s high voice and Yunho’s low voice was necessary, and that was how the song “Why? (Keep Your Head Down” was made to be. There were worries due to the fact that their voices were opposites to each other, but they explained that they were able to create a new colour in their music.
Up until now Changmin was put in many parts of songs when it was five member group, but this time Changmin said he chose the song by finding a way to revive the vocals of Yunho’ s and his. “I wanted to place emphasis on our personalities, an incorporated a song where diverse genres could be heard. This album is one that focuses on personality and harmony,” Changmin said, showing his confidence. There are instruments such as the gaya harp and traditional korean instruments, ballad and R’n’B songs, solos from the two members, that have been incorporated and compiled in this album.
The performance from the two members also turned out to be much more than just a punch. Yunho explained that it was only the two of them, but it didn’t seem like it, they seemed like twins but they weren’t twins, they seemed to have similar moves but it didn’t seem like their concept was to be similar. They wanted to show that the two members can continue with power, and they chose a choreography that expressed a more lively and masculine side of them.
The two members also opened their hearts to us and told us their thoughts on the three members who left the group.
Yunho, “We were waiting for them. But we can’t let Dong Bang Shin Gi be forgotten so we can’t keep waiting for them for 5 years or 10 years. Their opposition with the company has gotten deeper, they have gotten farther away, we also haven’t been able to contact them and it has become a long and continued story. Until this problem can be solved, someone had to protect Dong Bang Shin Gi.
In regards to the question of whether there was a scope of them starting activities as five again, they two members showed us a cautious attitude. Yunho pointed out that, “The problem here is with the three members and their lawsuit in opposition to the company.” He also presented the thought that he couldn’t speak about the circumstances of the situation, but that Dong Bang Shin Gi was a group that was created within SM Entertainment so the three members should settle with the company and come back to them. They vented that the current state of the situation was was frustrating.
Previously, JYJ stated in an interview that in the past they were Dong Bang Shin Gi and even from now on they still were. When we asked about this quote, Changmin spoke up:
“Dong Bang Shin Gi was a team that was design and created by SM from the beginning. The five of us were loved by tons of fans, and we enjoyed the activities we did together. The two of us are not letting this framework end, but we are going to protect it. When birds leave a flock but they still think they are part of it, don’t you think there is some kind of inconsistency there?”
The two members stated that “For us, Dong Bang Shin Gi is the home that we will always return to even if we do solo activities.” Yunho said, “It was after getting this change this time around that we really felt the meaning of Dong Bang Shin Gi and its’ value. Similar to how in order to climb up a high peak it is first necessary to climb down from it, even when ten years or twenty years pass, I think I will remember just how good this period of my life was. The pride I have in Dong Bang Shin Gi will never change.”
Dong Bang Shin Gi will also be restarting their activities in Japan. They will be releasing a single that will include the Japanese versions of “Why? (Keep Your Head Down)” and “Maximum”. From the 25th to 26th, they will be holding a joint concert with other SM singers called “SM Town Live” World Tour which will be held in Tokyo.
Changmin said “We took the opportunity in Japan with the path that BoA had built. That road that we have further cultivated, Girls Generation have walked on it. But I think Girls Generation has experienced more difficulty than us. This is because they have to open up this road for other juniors too.”
Yunho said, “We will thank Girls Generation. Due to their success, we will also go to Japan and show a good result.” With the feeling that they had received encouragement from their juniors, the two members expressed their willpower.
They had their debut in 2004 when they were young teenagers, and they made their way to the top. The boys that were not even able to enjoy the normal days of other teenagers their age, constantly followed by paparazzi and fans, they did not have freedom.
“To say that it wasn’t stressful would be a life,” Yunho said. “I wanted to relax and just drink one cup of coffee but there were a lot of things I couldn’t do.” Saying this, we then asked about experiences with relationships, at which the two members looked at each other and laughed. “Of course we did have relationships. But both of us had to give notice to the company when we were in relationships,” they laughed.

This is a request to the mod: Can we please stop having to see TVXQ articles? I’m getting sick of them. If there is a paragraph or two that is actually important to JYJ, can we just put those up with a link to the rest?
I’m gotten past the anger stage and just want to move on to being a JYJ fan.
Thank you Mia, you’ve created a wonderful space here and are working very hard to share all the new with us. Think of this suggestion as giving you a little less work.
Everybody else — Yes? No?
Excuse me, but I posted this interview here, because there are some parts that wasn’t included in other interviews…You can read it or you can just ignore it.
It’s okay admin, keep your good job, but I hear tat there was some mistranslation in some part, it’s true?
It was just a suggestion. From feedback from the readers if you’d prefer. If you’d prefer too delete my comment, please do.
Admin,sis,you mad!!! we love you,love you, love you..OK… just get sick with fanwar other site!!
at this stage, due the inevitable ties – no matter how painful they are – with these two (*insert whatever names* I am refraining from calling them names in a public forum) I think I agree with admin. Hi Mia, nice to meet you and thank you for doing such a wonderful job maintaining this blog.
We JYJ fans still need to get this kind of information (I cringe reading this interview) to get the bigger picture of the graveness of the situation for JYJ to always remind us of the difficult road ahead, so we are more prepared in our quests to support them.
When the dust settles in, then we won’t need this kind of news anymore. Hopefully it will be so in the near future.
Well, I don’t know, this type of article made us hate HM further, so it’s bad for our health^^
But, I guess knowing what HM think bout JYJ is also important, since it’s bout the possibility of reunion between them, or maybe for Hm to show their true self.
But, still, the thing bout snsd, seriously made everybody mad, ne? Even last year TVXQ had the 2nd most income in Japan, and where’s snsd?
It’s true when they said that Hm had forget bout the fan’s whises and heart. Maybe because they only talk to their fan not the TVXQ(5)they forget the meaning of Cassiopea
I was just thinking that it would be nice to keep this space as JYJ focused as possible, but I guess it’s good to have a space to vent as well. I’ll skipping the rest.
@Eliza
just like me jum everywhere have the JYJ and don’t mind other one, smlies….
WTF they should stop doing interviews coz if they continue doing this they will continue to lose their fans (ot5 fans), not that i care….
Eliza, you have my “yes” >.<
just highlighted the important things so we shouldn't read the trash part.
and
Like Mia said, we can ignore it, so that what I did.XD

@haphuong91
I saw you,..hahaha girl.. fight hard, relax, some coffe??? donut???
you were there too???? 🙂 🙂 🙂 it’s kinda sad that any new tvxq article is always locked there….
hehe thanks 🙂 i’ve had enough of snacks in order to stay up late and type this hahhahah
Are u Vietnamese? Been wondering for a while an finally asked lol
Saw you on AKP before too.
ayyyy !!!!!!! are u vietnamese too????? 🙂 🙂 your user name looks similar to the one i saw on akp as well, were u there??? 🙂 🙂
@haphuong yes, I was there like ages ago ( a bit exaggerate, lol) not there anymore, I hate that place, I’m still on DBSKnights bt feel less attracted to it nowadays. Btw, is your English name Grace? Just wonder coz I met a vietnamese girl on DBSKnights and she was born in 91 as well. You must be in the US now since you are still up, lol.
hey I’m Vietnamese too. And my akp account is ali0712. I used to spam a lot ^^~
Oh, really? Lol couldn’t guess with your nickname. Lol, hopE we can find more.
mistranslated what HM said. You translated it more harsh than it sounds in Korean. Please be more cautious cuz this can make fanwar!
Originally, YH said “소녀시대가 잘된 만큼 우리도 다시 일본에서 좋은 결과를 얻고 싶다”, which DOESN’T really mean “Due to their success, we will also go to Japan and show a good result”, but “We want to get a good result in Japan again (They mean their comeback in Jap), like SNSD did”
Min said “하지만 소녀시대에게도 우리가 겪은 것 이상의 다른 어려움이 있을 것이다. 그 친구들이 후배들을 위한 길을 개척했으면 좋겠다”, which DOESN’T mean “But I think Girls Generation has experienced more difficulty than us. This is because they have to open up this road for other juniors too.”, but “But SNSD has experienced difficulty in the different way comparing to us. It will be good if they can open up this road for juniors”
hmm your translation doesn’t change anything… I am sorry but they didn’t have to compare themselves with SNSD. They didn’t have to mention their name. Tohoshinki is still loved in Japan. They didn’t have to say “We want to get a good result in Japan again (They mean their comeback in Jap), like SNSD did”” like snsd did? you have already did better then SNSD did. You are Gods, act like that please.
I’m agree with you ,He’s stupid ,who doesn’ know his pride,SNSD is way way behind TVXQ,how could he mention their name inthe line?If last year HOMIN couldn’t come to the stage in JAPAN to sing ,there were JYJ with “THANKSGIVING LIVE IN DOME” ,in NATION’ 2010,they’re part of TVXQ ,nobody can beat them to a legent stand ‘in JAPAN since 2007.Yunho is the leader with only a name now ,the brain of TVXQ was left ,only the body there ,I’m so sad,I think he himself only the bad thing for the name of TVXQ ,not a good thing,he ‘ll never can because he sold his soul to SM 2 years ago
The translation doesn’t change a thing about what they meant to say =_=
It’s just so clear that they neglect the importance of JYJ. For them, they are the only tvxq now without even thinking back how they got to this position. Both of them were not the most important in DBSK with other 3 based on singing and popularity and yet they could still say it so proudly that SM created DBSK and JYJ had to solve the problem and came back. For god’s sake, without the other 3 and fans, you wouldn’t have this position. You so annoy me with all the talk to make people feel sympathy for you. Not me, I was being vey neutral to you but I feel like I’m getting to hate you more and more to an extent which I feel you are worthless.
If in the future, your blockheads wake up and decide to leave SM. I may regret that I talked to you this way bt for now, you are so arrogant, not humble like your fans said with all that attitude. You are the ones ungrateful, not JYJ. Yes, thanks to SM we know DBSK and yes, you bt things have their limits. You can’t expect things to be beautiful when they are obviously not. Oh, yes, I heard that 5 of you decided to leave together bt only you 2 changed your mind and didn’t leave. I always had an excuse for you guys like yes, they had a reason to do it and I wanted all 5 together though I’m JJ biased. But you know what, it’s not the song, the lyrics or all “things” related to SM that made me a become a JYJ supporter but it’s more because of your cowards. Yes, you are under SM, (so why didn’t you leave), you have to say like what SM tell you to do (I understand that). But we an clearly see your anger through your speech Changmin ah, the one got me to DBSK and Yun
Yunho (the least favourite member).
Well, I won’t bash you or argue with your fans so don’t worry I’m not your anti either. You are just simply the people I will forget for now
(press the publish button by mistake without finishing what I want to say)
Yeah. I always wanted to find an excuse for Yunho and Changmin but there is nothing to be said now. They’re men who make their own decisions. They are making their bed I just hope they can lay in it.
I am losing serious respect for the two members I honestly thought where the most rational and mature. I sincerely feel sorry for them in the aspect that they have f**k up royally from the start.
i cant help but cry. for awhile i have been finding reasons as to why homin changed their minds about suing the company and now i read this interview. this really makes me upset considering how im yunho bias. yunho, why must you say that dbsk is under sm. sm dont own the name, you do! *sigh* i just want homin to know that they dont need sm to stay big. they need to leave sm and join jyj. yunho recently had an iv and having an iv isnt normal. being in the us army, i have never had to have an iv before so this isnt normal for an idol star!
err gurs… please vote for jyj.. we don`t want to take any chaces don`t we?

keep refreshing F5,,,BOTH LINKS…not much time in the first link so plz keep voting&spread this out…
Personality and harmony in their music? I kinda laughed. You won’t hear much individual personality or harmony if the music is way overproduced. (And in no way am I picking on Homin for this since I think of that for any artists abusing autotune or synth or beats etc.)
I get where Yunho is going for with the ‘protect TVXQ’ but they’re going about it the wrong way. In my eyes, JYJ is protecting the true nature and spirit of TVXQ…HoMin, not so much because they always sound so bitter and angry and vengeful. If anything, I’m blaming SM. If they honestly think that coming back as two-TVXQ with this concept when the situation is like this (with the notion that they’re ‘protecting the name’), then they’re deluded. If anything, they’re tearing down the fandom and spitting on their own history.
The talk about SNSD is completely unnecessary and backwards; if anything, it should be the juniors thanking TVXQ – but no, there’s never been any mention of that because the subject of TVXQ is oh so taboo (sarcasm). Meh. I’ve always thought of SNSD as a flash in the pan for Japan – I don’t think there will be longevity for them especially since Japan already has the highly successful group AKB48.
Besides, I thought KARA was doing better than SNSD anyway. If anything, KARA will be the one to pave the road. Way to go and show your marketing scheme, SM.
KARA *cringes* ohhhh~ Tht group can’t sing O.O (from all the MR videos i saw them in) How the hell did they get popular.
Yea…I don’t know. I look at KARA and SNSD with amusement because they’re so ‘novelty’ like, you know? Like I cannot take them seriously lol. IMO they do not represent the true artist nature and are kinda gimmicky.
i agree. Ill probably get bashed by SNSD fans BUT theres only 2 ppl they can sing in there Taeyeon<< i dunno how to spell and Seohyun.
KARA O.O i dont think they can sing IMO.
Oh kara is definitely bigger than snsd in japan I can attest to this, go to Japan you’ll know. But again that’s not saying much, because they need to reach their audience outside the kpop wave fandom, and kara is trying to do just that. It’s funny how they’re bigger in japan than they are in korea (in comparison to snsd). SM knows how to do media play and dsp well everyone knows how they fail at that.
Is KARA from SME? if not, I will SUPPORT them! will buy their whatever when i am in Japan this June hahahahaha.. as christmas present for my boss’ children since they love Kpop.
ohh god@ Gerri
Personally i dont like their songs or anything and they suck at live (from what ive seen). So if u really like them go ahead and buy their cds.
who cares about them anymore either way my sister said that someone commented saying that 2hoshinki wont take #1 spots every week or daily because jj isnt there anymore. according to that person jj is HUGE over there which of course we all know 😀
Homin can screw them selves i dont care each time they say things like makes me hate them more im even hating changmin too and i love that dude!!!
grrr
LOL IA! most of my friends think that way too.. well let’s see . . JYJ HWAITIING!! JYJers HWAITIING!!
and about harmonization, they miss this point. there’re no junchan, jj and micky there.. sorry leadershii, but ur voice seems similar to changmin in kyhd. I hardly find out what u mean of harmonization there.
i always said jj and junsu were the best singers in DBSK hun i agree about Homin i sometimes had trouble distinguishing their voices. i dont them to completely fail in korean in japan tho cuz i still have a small soft sopt for them which grows wheni waatch DBSK videos from the past but then i read these kinds of articles and the love i have for Homin goes down. i think they should just keep their mouths shut. lol jyj fans are called jyjers now?
lets hope the jaejoong fans support JYJ grr how i wishi knew japanese so i could spread the word
lol, it’s perhaps JYJ’s cassiopeia then 😀
whatever works 🙂
err guys.. about the law suit thinggy, i read in the tweets of..**”WE”**.. THat sm plans to delay the court trial that is supposed to be this 18th.. but the lawyers of jyj ddidn’t agree.. and the judge. well i don’t know his/her decision… but we will see if the judge agrees to the appeal made by SME..*** CROSSESS FINGERS***
P.S..
PLEASE JUDGE DON’T AGREE TO APPEAL OF SM TO DELAY THE TRIAL…
Yes, it has taken so long already. SM are scared that they will lose so just try to use any tactic left to push JYJ down.
Hope the judge won’t agree. Please, the judge must be nice and understandable.
yeahh i heard tht too. Hopefully judges wont accept the appeal. SME why delay this lawsuit? Trying find a loophole?
Maybe they have no chance on winning against on jyj.. and delaying it so that they can promote well tvxq whose album sales is not that good compare gto jyj to the public and media… because if the lawsuit is not yet decided and resolved.. jyj cannot participate or cannot appear on public broadcast…. so that can give them the time to push jyj down any further..
considering that the release of jyj’s albums “their rooms” is in a week, so they needed time to not making jyj promote their newly released album…
**but sadly for SME, THEY DON’t know that even if jyj, cannot or don’t have any public appearances and broadcasts, still the people wil buy their albums and will make it to the rop 1 on charts…
I think they have lobbied reporters to write nice articles abt Homin’s sales you know. They always say Homin’s new album swept Korea where the fact that their sales not even that well. I wonder what Homin feel abt this? They must know it too since they’re also curious abt fans’ reaction towards the album but put on a smile face for people to see that they are actually doing well.
SM <—— no comment, no words can describe.
A lot of entertainment ‘news’ is really just a partial rewrite of whatever stars’ PR teams give out to reporters, and/or is aimed mostly at just making fans happy & avoiding controversy/negativity so they’ll keep reading. It’s all fluff & hype, not serious journalism…
i just thought about it what if their rooms was pushed back so they can promote with less cockblocking??? and also explosive sales ofcourse
don’t you think it’s ironic on SM&HM part?
HM keep saying that TVXQ is created by SM and can only exist in SM. so JYJ should hurry up with the lawsuit and comeback.
but here you can see SM, the supposed only place 2VXQ and TVXQ can exist in, trying all it can to drag the lawsuit on for as long as possible.
I heard the court already deny SM request. But still, tomorrow is not the final ruling. I don’t know what’s they gonna decide tomorrow. Pray hard for JYJ
I shouldn’t read these articles because it makes my whatever love for them back then slowly disappear. I need to have respect to the them before I love them and seeing these type of articles make feel like I have been fooled all along =_= It’s really not good for my health.
I am extremely disappointed in the way they are answering the question. They rather protect the damn name TVXQ than Cassiopeia and JYJ. The name TVXQ is nothing without Cassiopeia and JYJ.
The name TVXQ might have been made up by SME but they didn’t bring the name to fame, the legend of TVXQ is created by Cassiopeia. By recruiting 3rd apps for Cassiopeia once again disregard the feeling of Cassiopeia to TVXQ. Don’t they at least understand one bit of this?
Stay with SM, supposedly have the name TVXQ…so what? Without Cassiopeia support, what are they going to do?
I don’t blame Cassiopeia boycotting the album. They seem to have forgotten how they got here today. SM didn’t get them where they are, Cassie did.
If you Homin already decided to move on with your life this way, please ignore all the questions about JYJ, enough comments about them already.
You both bring more disappointment to me every time a new interview comes out so please STOP.
unbelievable homin
simply unbelievable i can’t even…>.<
you two exceed expectations with this kind of answers..sm must be so proud of you..
I can’t believe I was a fan of those two for four years. I don’t even know who they are anymore.
I think sm is debuting a new group this year… Which is why they’re so hell bent on ruining tvxq’s reputation, so in a way they’re paving way for this group. Sigh I don’t see this new tvxq lasting very long tbh, sure the hype is huge internationally but only limited to the fandom. Plus their sales speaks a lot of volumes, sure they’re gaining new fans but not those with purchasing power. And tbh I don’t think they’re as big as they were in korea, went there for vacation last week, and I don’t see them everywhere as much as I see snsd, plus the public don’t pay much attention to them as they did before from the people I talked to… It’s sad honestly.
I agree. I am fuming mad at them but at the same time I can’t help wondering about what their actual standing is in the korean music industry and within SM itself. I think yea, by the look of it, the sales show that it’s mainly fans doing.
Granted JYJ is in pretty much the same position but..somehow I think that they..I dunno..play it better, especially in terms of respecting fans’ position and stance. Just my two cents.
Oh jyj is not that known yet, people only (well the general public) know them as the group that sued sm/got out of sm, the effect of the banning on promotion and the likes I think. Plus they haven’t been promoting in Korea for more than a year so I’m not surprised. But what’s amazing for me is while jyj as a group is not that well known but them as individuals, kim junsu, park yoochun and kim jaejoong (ecsp yoochun) are getting more public recognition in korea =) so there is still hope. Jae is still known in japan though, I would say he certainly obtain a stronghold fanbase there, it’s amazing of how loyal they are still to him considering that he hasn’t been there for a while…
The new tvxq are gaining a lot of younger fans but whether or not they’ll stay, only time will tell, there are many idol groups in korea and these idol fans are very fickle =/ Bear in mind that the kpop industry is not that big either so unless you’re like snsd (they are seriously EVERYWHERE) you won’t gain that much public recognition outside of the kpop fandom.
I totally agree with the purchasing power of the fans.
I always admire Korean fans (to every male/femal group, singers) for doing so much for the one they loved.
Dong Bang Shin Ki sure has fantastic fans with purchasing power and also they have such a loyal fans too.
As for JYJ, since they left SME we can see them freely choose what they want to do. And each one of them is doing various kind of activies. Junsu for Musical, Yuchun for Drama, Jaejoong for Japanese Drama and Photobook. We can see that this can also an opportunity for new fans to getting to know them better. While their old fans still support them with all their migth.
If you see from Changmin and Yoonho’s side, they may do various kind of thing but if you look closely it’s not vatious enough to gain that much attention. This is just my two cent. But I do hope them to do well with their career as a singer. They said that they are doing this because they want to protect TVXQ, so please do it well.
you said what I want to say.
they’ll bent till it broken.
Actually I do really think that Homin are gaining a lot of new fans and such (especially fanboys), but its just that they are the ones without much purchasing power.
I think its because most of the Cassies (KCassies especially) have become JYJ supporters and well, its a well known fact that Cassies have good purchasing power and are willing to spend tons on the boys. ^^
I always think about this, but let me spit out just once. How different the situation would have been, if JJ was the leader.Knowing how much Shinhwa’s leader Eric influnced on its members to stay together as one team, I cannot think of YH’s role as a leader..
when I first got into DBSK, I thought JJ was the leader. Tbh, I think I was right. Yunho, to me, was always the one they pushed up as the leader in the public eye. When it came down to the group personally (behind the scenes) it was always JJ imo.
IA with you and with bmw81187 – I thought that JJ was the leader too – I watched their videos and performances before I read the actual information about who they were. JJ is the one always watching over the group.
And haha I think JJ was not the leader because SM understood that he JJ has a strong character and personality and that he would question a lot of things.
well, it kept coming to mind when I first knew them. I asked to my friend why’s the leader not jaejoong? he’s the eldest. she just answered like ‘you know what, there are job division in a group. Jaejoong has become the visual shock and the main vocal, meanwhile yunho at the first time he debut, we’ll know that he got many critics for his singing ability. you can imagine if JJ become the leader. he’s overshadowed the others’. I think that’s true though.
im sorry, i said this before and i will say it again here
. I dunno why but i always feel that Yunho sometimes try so hard to convince people that he’s the leader. He voice out being a leader way too much. Im sorry I learn psychology and criminology. You know when people say things out loud way too much about himself/herself, it means he wants to convince people that what he says really is what he/she is when in actuality he/she might be not. With Yunho the members always like “yeah….the leader” but i cx really remember the members ever put the leader issues in natural way like Suju members did with LeeTuek. I dunno….but I often see him being unnatural. He’s eyes try to catch the cameras a lot….for me in TVXQ Yunho is the most insecure one. He actually had the appeal but his trying to hard to the point that it swallow the natural appeal that he should be confident of. Even his dance get kinda off since it was forced rather than enjoying it. I have this thoughts for the longest time coz knowing this fandom saying bad comments about the member is a taboo. I can only say this since people are more perceptive. If Yunho fans read this i will be poison with glue in drinking bottle!
I agree with you that Yunho has always tried too hard to emphasise that he is the leader of TVXQ. (excuse the long rant ahead)
On japanese variety shows in the past, he has always tried to control and maintain an image for TVXQ and often cut off what the members were saying. Before I thought it was just to correct their Japanese (I must admit Yunho’s japanese is one of the best within the group apart from Min who didn’t really speak during variety shows anyway), but I can see that he often prevented them from voicing their opinion as he was ‘scared’ that they would say something ‘wrong’.
Although it doesn’t seem important, I think if Junsu hadn’t tried so hard to say those ‘gags’ on TV shows and attract attention from comedians, they wouldn’t have had much presence within Japanese TV. Thus their popularity would have declined. Of course everyone’s hard work would have contributed the most, but I believe Yunho has always brushed off Junsu’s jokes as immature and failed to acknowledge them.
I see Yunho as a perfectionist, he always tries the hardest to create the perfect choreography, appeal and ‘image’ of TVXQ. Now he wants to create the ‘dance’ image for the new TVXQ. Whatever happened to acknowledging and continuing the legend of the past TVXQ as great singers?
I used to admire Yunho as the leader. After reading so many articles of his opinions, I don’t think I can see him in the same light anymore.
That’s just my two cents. I don’t know them personally, this is just my judgement and opinion through the time that I’ve been a fan.
I actually had the same thoughts as you. Yunho seems to be unnaturally in everything he does. He always tries too hard and it usually becomes awkward just like his acting in Head to the ground. Maybe that is why I never see his charisma. Also the fact that I get irritate at the way he sings doesn’t help either.
Recently he sings with too much nasal sound that I cannot bear to listen the song. He pretty much ruin the song. Sorry for being harsh….
OMG, this is what i always and i really mean it ALWAYS think so. just that yeah, you know, even before the lawsuit, you can just voice out your opinion about 1 member without being bash =.=
Hmm… Well honestly I always thought Yunho was a great leader. He was always caring towards his members and you could tell that he was really trying hard to lead TVXQ to present themselves in the best manner possible.
& I do think the members do acknowledge that YH was a great leader, that’s why they were always so willing to listen to him & to take a step back. 🙂
I don’t know about how Yunho would be now, I haven’t seen enough of him (on TV and interacting with CM) since his comeback, but I’d say that I’m sorely disappointed with his interview answers, it changes my perspective of him by a lot 😦
I never like half the stuff they say. That or it just never matters to me. I like HoMin and all but neh they just don’t interest me anymore about what they have to say. It’s all the same and yadda yadda. The only time I read articles on them is ones like these where they actually say something about JYJ and whatnot, but then in the end.. I wonder why I even bother. What they say disappoints me.
That’s all I really have to say on that.
If this is SM’s tactic to make HM say, how stupid SM is. what a bad move for themselves. The more HM has interviews, the more fans get disappointed. Srsly, are there fans who come to like HM even more thanks to these interviews?
seriously I wonder the same thing too =(
if SM really wants HoMin to succeed, this is not the way to do it
You’d be surprised, I do see people actually commenting that HM has matured a lot in this interview (yada yada) But I totally don’t see the maturity.
On a side note, I’m actually annoyed yet thankful for this interview – at least they made their stand with JYJ clear. (Because I don’t believe that they’re SM’s puppets.) & therefore it allowed me to really just give up on Homin and fully focus on JYJ. :S
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?
– Keane, “Somewhere Only We Know”
Love this.
Love Kean too.
i A D O R E this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it love it !!!!!!!!!!
oh,man ,please “K.Y.M.S”….HoMin ,don’t do the talking any more ,alot of CASSIE.already left,IF you want to keep some of the rest you need to “KEEP QUIET”…OK.
all i ever want is a level playing field for JYJ, they being able to promote and do guest appearances on networks, just like any other singer. all i ever wish for is for JYJ to forge ahead and prove to the rest that they are a force to reckon with (which they had already done, without promotion at that!). i believe sme had met their match.
The sanitized version of homin interview doesn’t change anything they said.
how i wish the leader was jj..
how I wish too. when I saw most of their vid. i just thought that ‘oh JJ’s so close with not only yunho, but also changmin. It’s obvious that changmin feel more comfortable with him rather than yunho’. Then I watched couple talk AADBSK2, soulmate couple ‘woah, he really close to yoochun. the convey just run smoothly between them. they’re so natural there’. then jaesu too. at the first time I know them, I thought that ‘does SM just want to promote jaejoong? why there’re yunjae couple, jaesu, soulfighhter, and soulmate couple, STILL there’no yunho and junsu couple? Homin couple (there’s no Homin couple at the time)? yunho and yuchun couple? it finally came to one conclusion of mine, Jaejoong is the one who real close to each other. 🙂
wow funny you should mention this, cause I realized it for the longest time too:
Most of the popular couples (yoosu is an exception) in DBSK involve JJ ~ he’s just close with everyone in the group, and has his own way to communicate w/ each member
he’s just a really friendly, warm guy
IKR, i thought I’m the one who felt this way. he’s a warm guy, indeed!!
Funny how I’m not the only one who noticed it. Also, if you look at their photos (group), Jae’s always standing in the middle as if he’s the glue holding all of them together.
Yoosu (the musical pair) and HoMin (the extremes…) 😀
check it out guys. It’s surely made my day. one people said that the three have brought TVXQ’s soul away with them. It kinda true though. I just can’t find this kind of dorkiness in homin anymore.
we should have more fun in our life. no more drama.i came across capslock_tvxq and saw macros making fun of this interview. i want to share with u guys hope that u guys will cheer up. xD

” Until this problem can be solved, someone had to protect Dong Bang Shin Gi.”
Yes Yunho, someone had to protect the legacy of DBSK and that should be the 5 members themselves and the fans who brought the name to its pedestal. Until the lawsuit is settled, by every means you can continue to do what your passion dictates. You can release a self-titled album with a very big embossed name YUNHO or CHANGMIN or THE HOMIN DUO or whatever name but not DBSK because with only the two of you , you don’t deserve that DBK/TVXQ/TOHOSHINKI name. Are you not proud of your own personal name? ( but of course the excuse is always be that the companies want to use DBSK…for money sake).
Since SM wasn’t much successful to pin down JYJ, so it uses this “protect the name DBSK” thing to hit JYJ with a striking blow to their hearts. We all know how precious DBSK to Jaechunsu, so making Homin now appear as if they are the only DBSK definitely really hurt the trio, good job SM I think you succeed to that aspect, because for me, even if i’m only a fan from a distant country, I really feel bad to see how my favorite band name is exploited.
Maybe my last TVXQ album is the “best selection 2010”, next in line to collect will be JYJ’s…
Me ,too.
Thanks for saying what I want to say…..
true, they hit jyj through hm,
what hm didn’t think is it will hit fans too.
fans who bring their glory and stand by them till the end.
that’s the most hurtful thing for JYJ.
JYJ always thinking about fans, so this must be broken their heart deeply too.
yep you grab the words out of my mouth. go jyj!
I have a feeling that Changmin was brainwashed by SM , you saw he was really angry when he perf KYHD, and in article. The way he talked will bring more anti-fan.While YH sounded like a good * shivers* leader.
That’s not good. I think SM and Yunho are using him, because he ave a big respect for YH.
If that’s the truth, he’s so pitiful.
I also think CM is being used by Yunho and SM. THe thing is after the lawsuit Yunho was much more promoted by SM, but Changmin was pretty much silent until recently. To keep a good image for Yunho, it is very crucial to keep CM in SM because it will be less uneven between two sides. If CM joins JYJ, their persuasive power will be much stronger than just three. Sadly SM won’t let that happens and they are pretty brainwash him.
in the beginning, i always thought changmin would hate sm the most out of all 5 members because he was jumped by sm’s goons before and he wasnt fed for weeks or days i dont remember but they starve him because he refuse to have scandal with a girl…it was kinda strange that he didnt leave sm with jyj.
Dishonest to have Yunho and Changmin sell themselves as DBSK. Sheer exploitation of the name DBSK, for money-making purposes. It is not keeping DBSK “alive” at all. If SM was truly interested in doing that, they would have found a way to renegotiate terms with Junsu, Yoochun and Jae Joong in the first place. In fact, SM is the one driving the stake into the heart of DBSK. And it is just too bad that Yunho and Changmin cannot see this.
To be fair, JYJ also used TVXQ’s credentials (ex. group with the largest fan club members in the world and not saying anything about the other two) in their English PR site with “The Beginning.” I remember a lot of fans criticizing them for that too, because the way the PR was written, it seemed as if the other two members didn’t exist.
But at least JYJ in their later interviews (and in their own words) acknowledged TVXQ and that they wouldn’t have been where they are now if it wasn’t for the group. The fact that they considered themselves TVXQ first before JYJ was also really thoughtful of them. Other people would say that might have been for promotions too (because of their music essay), but at least JYJ’s interviews kept the fans’ hope for the future of 5TVXQ. Compared with the way these two are speaking in their interviews, they’re just shattering Cassiopeia’s belief completely. That’s just…harsh, for lack of a better word.
WTH with this we wanna protect TVXQ name and shit? Just said you wanna protect your interest and your sorry ass company. pffft~~~
where is the ‘like’ button?
I want to press the ‘like’ button. XD
This!! well said.
yeh and wheres the like button? lol
where is your brains?
wah, i never thought i can go from loving someone to hating someone… but i think it just happened…
i really CANNOT understand homin’s thinking! if this article was not ‘twisted’ by the writer, then wow… im speechless~ has SME been brainwashing them, or hav they always been like this? this is so scary…
HOW can the think that fans love DBSK because of SME and not the ability of individual members? HOW can they think that they are protecting the name DBSK (which belongs to ALL 5 members) by being a duo?
they said they want dbsk to live on coz they thought ppl were starting to forget dbsk, but WTF? when ppl are starting to forget dbsk (in homin’s words ONLY coz i will never think anyone can forget dbsk) THEY think its the best idea to debut as a duo so that ppl that ‘don’t know’ dbsk will now think dbsk = homin, and basically grab all the credit that ALL 5 members worked so hard in achieving.
i am utter shocked and annoyed by homin’s recent actions, and i really can’t find a reason for their actions…
Please vote JYJ at the bottom of the page, we lose to HM
http://gb.cri.cn/ent/starshow.htm
how to vote? I voted there like crazy yesterday, but it stands still around 2k 😦
how to vote??
i can’t read chinese. sorry.
Changmin used to be one of my major biases in DBSK. I loved his sarcasm, his straightforwardness, his occasional cuteness, his antics with Jaejoong, his love for food, and mostly his intelligence and his crazy vocals.
I realllly wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I have been doing so for a long time, but this…this is insane. I hope he realizes that DBSK was formed by SM, but made by Cassiopeia. And that he remembers that JYJ always had the majority of the fans, and the main vocals.
Atleast…atleast he could be more careful about what he says in interviews. Downright accusing somebody of betrayal is ultimate douchebaggery.
Yunho, who I’ve always known as the super nice one who gives to charity and lets people who poison him away without charges. He still hasn’t said anything particularly negative, and I honestly hope it can stay that way.
Yunho, did you see Jae’s text, beeteedubs?
THIS!! Changmin was my bias previously as well, and it was heartbreaking seeing how much he seemed to have changed. I mean, his snark and honesty was always reserved for fans (to wake them up into reality) and for members (as a form of joke). I never thought he was capable of saying something so harsh w/o meaning it as a joke. It’s disappointing. 😦
It really makes me feel that all he had shown previously was merely a stage personality, and its disappointing because I always thought all of DBSK5 was true to themselves even on the stage. Sigh. 😦
Things that struck me the most from this interview:
“When birds leave a flock but they still think they are part of it, don’t you think there is some kind of inconsistency there?”
—> what is this?!??!?!? i can only shake my head after seeing this ~ all point of anger has passed
“they have gotten farther away, we also haven’t been able to contact them ”
—> really now =_=
…
and last but not least, TVXQ thanking SNSD
what has the world come to???
*gone to listen to Nine
“…Do not you love me? Do not want to forget?…”
thanks admin for keeping us updated!!
thanks for your hard work. =)
anyways, i would just like to comment on Changmin’s statement: The two of us are not letting this framework end, but we are going to protect it. When birds leave a flock but they still think they are part of it, don’t you think there is some kind of inconsistency there?”
– well i kinda hate Changmin’s answer. I think that it would really take a long time for them to get back together after this thing. =(
I used to be a TVXQ fan but for now i will be a loyal JYJ fan coz i think they needed us more than Homin coz Homin have SM, SME’s artist’s and some Homin fans too but with JYJ, they only have us their ‘loyal fans’..
JYJ can’t even have a chance to appear in a lot of shows though their albums are being on top. It is so sadenning. =(
Oh and come to think of it. Listen to the songs that JYJ compose for their album or essays: in their rooms, it is more like they wanted to be with Homin. It is full of emotion and remembering of the past compare to the album of Homin (though they are not the ones who compose it but they have a choice wether to agree or not to agree on recording it especially when you know that you might hurt someone coz the song really has a double meaning.
i am so talkative. i’m sorry. actually, i still have a lot to say but this is too long already.
i just wanted to burst out my feelings.
JYJ Fighting!!!!
Oh. What’s this? Another version of the golden article? Aish. I just hope this will be the last.
Anyway, if protecting the name ‘TVXQ’ means becoming like the rest of the idol groups then they are doing a great job! *standingovation*
Ok, enough with the sarcasm.
If they are really, according to them, “protecting the name” of TVXQ, they better do a good job on it. I don’t want JYJ’s hard work, efforts, and contributions to make that name become legendary put into waste. They can blame, bash, belittle, or say whatever mean things they want about JYJ PROVIDED that they are able to surpass TVXQ5’s accomplishments and go beyond their reputation. Because whatever HM say about how perfect their harmony is, the TVXQ now will NEVER. EVER. be able to compare to the beautiful harmonization of TVXQ5.
SM is a company and its aim is to make money out of its artists so it makes me laugh when people (Homin included) say that they owe SM everything, that SM was always there for them etc. I mean, SM isn’t some sort of philanthropist organisation. It is true that it’s one of the top company in Korea in term of entertainment but it doesn’t mean their artists have to be blindly thankful and overly grateful. They paid for their training and for all their living expenses (even starving themselves and sleeping in the streets for YunJae because they didn’t have enough money) and they can be sure that if they weren’t useful to the company they would easily get throw away…But I guess in Korea it’s unacceptable to raise your voice against your employer :S (since they care so much about respect, sunbae etc.)
Anyways, I hope things will get solved for the best on the 18th. JYJ Fighting !!!
STUPID HOMIN =_= !!!! may i say COWARD TOO?
This article is not that shocking, nor is it anything that the fandom hasn’t heard. What is with all of the intense reactions. Chill out. This is how Homin feel, accept it, and move on. Stop questioning them. You don’t have to agree with them, just support JYJ and be done with it. None of these men have been brainwashed. Give me a break. This is what they think. There are different ways to look at every situation. This fandom is ripe with immaturity. Seriously, move on, and stop being so brainwashed yourselves that you can only see what you want to see.
Stop hating on Yunho as the leader. He tried his best. Both him and Jaejoong if they were leader would have ran into problems. Jaejoong is too blunt for his own good sometimes and says things he shouldn’t. And whether you want to believe it or not the pristine image of tvxq was much thanks to Yunho’s overbearing control.
Stop trying to find someone to blame and move on with your lives. You all look ridiculous at the moment. Each member in this group has glaring flaws. They are human. Stop sprouting out things you wouldn’t like to be said about your own bias and I am definently not a homin bias person, but come on.
So,what are you doing here?Try to tell us “Yunho tried his best”and”Jae Joong is too blunt and say thing he shouldn’t”…?You’re better listen ,the one who ‘re talking too much “NOW “is not Jae…”RIGHT NOW “The one keep “saying thing He shouldn’t” is Yunho .And If you keep saying us “stop trying to find someone to blame,move on with lives…”You are the same Yunho ,too.Don’t tell us ,never ever tell us that “the pristine image of TVXQ was much thanks to YUNHO’s OVERBEARING CONTROL”,you’re talking like the rest of TVXQ was the group of wild boys -running around like carzy …You said you’re “not a Homin bias person”,oh come on ,I don’t believe that and don’t know who’s gonna believe that..If you’re not like what you read in this page ,in any other post,you’re welcome to leave,we don’t need you here trying to prove “YUNHO IS THE BEST LEADER”
,and we’re all “being braiwashed “.We believe in JYJ.We don’t talk about how nice of YH in the past,we ‘re talking about what he did in the past 2 years and now,in the last few days ,with all the stupid talking to the PRESS ,together with CM…
You ‘re not welcome here ,with your brain enough of Yunho’ perfect pictures,just stay in your room and keep dream on about him.Don’t get in here and say something you shouldn’t.GO AWAY…
I think she(he) goes to wrong place and try to get attention ,yeah,shooooo shoooo,go away .We’re all busy to praying for our JYJ …GO AWAY….
*JYJers group hugs*
yeah, I just can’t believe it anymore, since few months ago when someone said that I love them five ‘but they ended up saying bad things bout JYJ. or, I’m not a Homin bias but their sentences clearly showed up that THEY’RE CLEARLY HOMIN STAN. puh-leaseee!! we’re NOT THAT DUMB!
Yes, it’s true, each member actually had many flaws but since they’re five of them,another weakness or mistakes of one member would be covered by the other four.
I doubt if JYJ debuted as a trio they would be as famous as TVXQ.
The fandom actually had turned into chaos, since we have our own bias, we protect our bias very well, we don’t want them to hurt, sometimes even went too far away and spread some false rumor.
Forgive my rant, but to protect our boys reputation, we should be a better fan…
oo other wrong place!
if yunho had tried his best then he would of stood up for JYJ for thousands of fans he failed as a leader. a leader will protect his members from any harm be it harmfulor emotional. everyone here has there own damn opinions if you have the guts to spout your damn opinions then so can we. and if you dont like then dont comment skip this article whatever but dont you dare spazz on us.
@loveX2 poor girl! didn’t you read the rules for this site?? BTW, it’s so useless to defend your yunho here.
apparently she didnt
Everyone, let’s put our focus and energy only to JYJ. We don’t need to angry with HoMin anymore. Let’s just moved on and spread the love ^^
Yunho, how can you say yourself a leader when you just admit that SNSD are more bigger than Tohoshinki in Japan? How much lower you want to make Tohoshinki in the eyes of public?
Yunho, just ask Sones to help your new path in Japan since seem you will need their support to make the new Tohoshinki big in Japan, or maybe in Korea also.
I can’t believe some people still want to vote you as a great leader.
Yunho & Changmin, do you realise that you just slap Tohoshinki’s fans with your words?
Yunho is right to credit SNDS because DB2 cannot cut it by themselves in Japan. Of coure, both NEED help from SNDS. Don’t bash him for his ‘shortcomings’.
That’s really not giving them enough credit. Both of them already have a reputation in Japan as accomplished singers.
If they want to change to a novelty act, then SNDS will be useful. I really have no idea what SME’s plans are.
Eliza, I think Gerri said in sarcasm tone. XD
one of SME’s plan is to bring down tvxq.
and they have succeeded. *sad*
@lauw Yeah, I think I wrote this before caffeine this morning. XD
@lauw,
u r absolutely right that “one of SME’s plan is to bring down tvxq. and they have succeeded”
HoMin career is sacrified in this ‘GAME’. I pitied their choice. Is like H.O.T for ShinWa, ShinWa for BoA/TVXQ, TVXQ for SNSD and sooon.. will be SNSD for new group (hope i did not get the sequent wrong)
HOPE JYJ is the one to get away!
I also heard CSJH(a.k.a the FEMALE DBSK)?? (i think thats the name) are coming back in Korea
SM are quite transparent
@JUNO I’ll believe it when I see it, although Stephanie is back on Korea, I see. (Pics with Isak and Lina) That’s a group that should get the hell out of SME as well. They made an absolute mess of four tremendously talented women (WOMEN! Not girls.)
And I will always think of them as Tenjochiki because Avex gave them much better music to sing and took much better care of their careers.
(I’m a little bitter about this. It’s where my hatred of SME started.)
He seriously said that SNSD is bigger than Tohoshinki?? Where have his and changmin’s head gone? How can they be so deluded when it comes to anything concerning fans?…those two. It seems like such a plot to give SNSD more popularity since they are active in Japan now. Once again Yunho is speaking Sment’s words at the expense of his fans >.>
http://www.whatthetrend.com/trend/%23StopSME
let trend #StopSME on Jan. 18 to Increase AWARENESS about JYJ’s case
Pls join us, JYJ fans!!!
joined! 🙂
Sigh, I don’t want to bash Homin or anything, so I’m just going to make a small comment.
In response to Changmin’s statement: The two of us are not letting this framework end, but we are going to protect it. When birds leave a flock but they still think they are part of it, don’t you think there is some kind of inconsistency there?”
But Changmin, in the same sense, when the vase was whole previously (with all 5 members) it was a vase. But when the three left and the vase shattered, what remains is no longer a vase. Similarly, what remains can also no longer be called THE flock because it is NOT the original flock.
So if JYJ can’t think that they are TVXQ, you can’t think you are TVXQ either… 😦 I just don’t think its right how he seems to justify the usage of the name with the reason because they stayed.
Honestly, only the Fans will be able to protect TVXQ – not HoMin, they dont hve enough ‘talent’ that is required to hold up this ‘legend’. Remember ‘united we stand, divided we fall’…
to answer your question about KARA, no they’re not from SME..They’re from DSP Media i think…if i were to chose between them and SNSD i’d choose KARA…
I agree with you about the Fans protecting TVXQ 101 percent
Thanks Mara. KARA my ‘fave’ u hv a new fan 🙂
