Flawlessly Imperfect

vanychateau:

Yunho: Looking at each other like that is too embarrassing (laugh). Growing up in different environments, til we meet each other and live like a family, is something that is harder than what you think. But if I didn’t meet Changmin, my life is probably only worth half of what it is currently.

Music Billboard interview addressing debut controversy
  • Host: I just thought of an incident. Actually, this incident was a small misunderstanding. In the past during our awards show -- we can talk about this directly -- during out awards show, we have a female MC. She said to the fans -- she was joking and said it very casually -- "Don't scream! Even if you scream, they can't understand." At the time, Kris said something, right? What did you say?
  • Kris: Yes, I said that in our group, we actually have four Chinese members, so we can understand Chinese.
  • Host: Yes, so it was a slippery slope. Everyone was thinking, "What's wrong with this female MC?” on the other hand they were thinking, "Oh~ what's going on?" Actually, we really have to talk about this problem. There is a problem, but we have to address it. A lot of people might still think you're a Korean group, while your group actually has four Chinese people. I think that we can definitely call you a Chinese group -- there's no problem with that. Every day, do you have to address this question? Every day, you have to explain to people your standing? Kris, have you thought about it before?
  • Kris: We've just begun, so some friends may -- because we're a group from a Korean company, they'll think we're a Korean group. But actually, the whole point and motive of our group is to return to China and perform for Chinese fans. So the four Chinese members feel that this is all for Chinese fans, so we hope we can be a home-grown/local group. And perform especially for China.
  • Host: They want to be considered a local group. So the next time, if I were to host, I could introduce you as "Chinese group, EXO-M." There’s not problem, right?
  • Kris: Right.

[TRANS] 120421 Dazed & Confused May Issue - Changmin Interview (Part 2)

blaqfaith:

Part 1

Q: Looking at recent news, they say that you are the no. 1 4th-dimensional artist. Why is this so?
A: Among the fans, there are these sayings (about me), such as “The high-schooler has returned.” and “Is this guy crazy?” Shinhwa’s Dongwan-hyung has a famous quote, saying “Shinhwa cannot possibly take responsibility for everyone’s life.” And this is exactly how I feel. I do not sugar-coat my words, and I refuse to be the influence of these children. I do not have the power to be responsible for them. The “me” that you see is a result of packaging (laughs). This is not to say that I do not care about everyone, it is just that I do not wish for people to waste their time on meaningless things, which is why I say such words.

Q: Do you have any principles you go by when wearing suits, or any styles that you like?

A: I like suits that are fitting. Today’s suit is slightly different, but it is not bad as well. The shooting process was very interesting.

Q: Which is your favourite among the sets…


Yunho's body: Yoon Do Huyn Radio TVXQ 110422
  • MC: Talking about bodies...Yunho, you said you're content with yourself. Is there a part of your body you think is okay?
  • Yunho: I like my shoulders and around my collarbone. *laughs*
  • MC: Collarbones are usually girls...
  • Yunho: Yes, but guys look good too...and shoulders are important for guys...In that regard, I don't really have a great body but...
  • MC: Yes you do.
  • Yunho: No, I don't...I have bigger chest than other people...
  • MC: *lol* You're making my heart flutter~
  • Yunho: No not that...
  • MC: Why am I getting like that towards a guy?!
  • Changmin: This is an awkward topic for an afternoon show...*MC laughs*
  • Yunho: I'm just being frank...
  • MC: Well, men go around shirtless a lot too in the summer
  • Yunho: I actually don't do that...Yes, I try not to.
  • MC: Men are more upper body. When they work out...no one really does their lower body...
  • Yunho: For me that's not really...I'm more lower body. My center has to be focused on my abdomen.
  • Changmin: Center at the abdomen...haha
  • MC: When Yunho talks, I keep imagining things...
  • Changmin: Right! Chest and abdomen...*MC laughs*
  • Yunho: But my body...oh...I'll change then...*laughs* My thighs.
  • MC: ....it keeps getting...
  • Yunho: Oh, that's not it?! Ah today~~ It keeps getting worse...haha...

10: I heard you filmed Running Man yesterday.
SJH: I went places such as Mokdong and Myungdong, jumped and played badminton. I ran so hard and got bruised on my leg. It was hard (laughs).

jagariko5:

If you were a pet, which member would you want as your owner?

Yoko: Wut. I wouldn’t want to be owned by anyone!! If that was the case, I would choose to live in the wild by myself.

Baru: Yoko. He takes good care of his younger brothers and he loves animals so I think he…

TVXQ interview on Australian broadcasting


subtled:

“I love the relationship we have now, we believe in each other, and I’ll trust the rest of my endurance to come from myself. I think that’s enough. I’m truly grateful that up until now and even now, he’s here beside me. I’ve said ‘thank you’ countless times to convey that feeling. Truthfully, there’s one more thing I want to say to him, and that’s ‘I love Changmin,’ but that’s embarassing so I won’t say it (laughs).”

[TRANS] El Sol - Taiyou Photobook Interview, full translation

hominfatale:

interview with TOHOSHINKI

Yunho/Changmin

A certain day in the month of June, 2011, about half a year since the official restart of activities. The duo touched down in Malaga’s Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun), Andalucía Province in Southern Spain. The 5 day, 4 night trip was filmed in the surrounding 3 cities to become the duo’s very first photobook. From the first day, I noticed the differences between Changmin, always operating at his own pace no matter when or where, and Yunho, the type to match and adapt to the place and environment he’s in.

…There are no words to express how much I loved this interview and how much I love these two men.

Thank you for translating and sharing this so, so much.


fandomrelated:

From a recent interview:

It seems the co-star was able to relax with Changmin, who is the same age and from the same company. She shared an amusing episode involving Changmin. ”There was a day where Changmin had a day off the next day. Because I had a photoshoot, I thought about sleeping early,…

6 YES (Yoko, Hina, Maru, Yasu, Ryo, Okura) 1 NO (Subaru)

Yoko: I want to play more with everyone, if it’s only once and it ended it would be such a waste.
Hina: Anything would be good. Probably even if we don’t think about it we would still meet. That’s how close we are!
Maru: In this life to be able to meet is a miracle. In our next life, if it’s not a miracle but a fated meet would be good.

DBSK members were asked to draw a girls face and from this drawing,  Non-No magazine determined if they are the S-type (sadistic) or M-type  (masochistic) when it comes to girls. Well, some of the members did not  agree with the result of the test while some admitted that the results  were somewhat accurate. (Yoochun’s part wasn’t translated because the translator could not read some of the characters on Yoochun’s part.)

ChangminDiagnosis: A little S
The way he drew the mouth bigger shows expressions of aggressiveness.  When he’s in front of the girl he likes, he frees himself of all  restraint. He’s an S-type who likes seeing the frustrated and cute face  of a girl. He desperately defended himself, “That’s totally wrong!! It’s  such a shame, I won’t agree with this!!”
Yunho
Diagnosis: A little M
The crown accessory he drew may signify that he suppresses his  instincts. He’s an M type that receives a sense of fulfillment when he’s  troubled in love! “I thought I was an S-type!! But I may match that  type in time since I like being lead (not sure)”
Jejung
Diagnosis: S type
The animal ears he drew symbolizes an animal’s impulsive nature to  want to bite. He shows a tendency to hurt his companion’s feelings when  trying to claim her as his own. “Ah, I’ve told cruel jokes to girls I  liked before!!” accepted Jejung.
Junsu
Diagnosis: A little S The way he tried to make the eyes look unreasonably bigger by drawing in  the eyelashes shows symbols of an agressive nature. Like a sweet dog  who wants to charm someone, his way of showing affection is a little  agressive. (not sure about dog part…esp 甘歯…) He’s a selfish type that’s a  little sadistic. “That’s true!! I sometimes make unreasonable  requests!!”
