But Forced As An Alternative
To Our Real Feelings

Ginger Interview Part 1 - Yunho & Changmin

Finally, their smiles have returned to us. After many months, the day has finally come. When they stepped into the set, the stiff expressions on their faces were relatively noticeable, but seeing the staff members, smiles appeared on their faces... "It's been a long time." Patting familiar faces on the shoulders, Yunho and Changmin went around hugging everyone. This year, they each came to Japan for their individual schedules, and although their shadows on the stage has not completely faded yet, it has already been a year and a half since they left behind their "TVXQ" schedules. They then started reminiscing about this period of time...

Changmin: "In the past, I was always the youngest. But recently, there have been many staff members who are even younger than me. When I'm doing my individual activities, the staff become busy with me too. I hope that I can take on and return this great responsibility. In TVXQ, I also need to share the burden of what Yunho used to undertake alone."

Yunho: "Recently, Changmin is becoming more and more like a leader, and sometimes acts like a bigger brother better than me. Changmin has grown up into a man now, so it is level between us, and I agree with what Changmin suggests. This way, we are able to create a unique atmosphere that solely belongs to the two of us. It is definitely worth anticipating."

So, in a sense, Changmin's young image is gone?

Changmin: "Age-wise, Yunho has more experiences than I do. As an artist, it is impossible to complete all your activities in two or three years, so as time goes by, you naturally mature and grow up. That is why I need to work my hardest to take this opportunity and focus all my efforts into what I'm doing."

Under the current situations, what area do you want to pursue further?

Changmin: "Whether it's singing or acting, I want to express the love a 22 year old man feels. I want to show a level of maturity, but then again I'd probably have to rely on my imagination. The love I receive now, the feelings I had when I was in relationships in the past... I need to express them out; now, and in the future."

So you're in love right now? (laughs)

Changmin: "Aaahhhhhh it's so regrettable that the winter is so cold that it pierces through to my bones" (laughs).

See, using tactics to evade questions is also a sign of growing up!

Changmin: "Really. This Christmas, Yunho has his musical, so I need to work my best too."

Do the two of you live together?

Yunho: "Yes, we're together everyday like brothers. Before, we shared a room, but now we each have our own. When we rest, we go out and eat together, play video games with the staff, watch DVD's, watch sports events, and even jokingly quarrel about things."

So there's no romance in the air at all?

Yunho: "There really isn't! But I still really want to get married, so there's bound to be times when we have relationships. If I do, I will definitely proclaim it out loud. This year was a turning point, but the following months will require a lot more hard work and effort. To TVXQ, and to myself alike, it will be a very important time period. Next year, I hope that the individual activities we do will also sublimate. This time one year ago, there were many feelings of distraught and loneliness. The reason is none other, and my feelings and thoughts are only known and understood by me. I believe Changmin has that same feeling too. I promised myself this; 'From now on I need to start working hard to return the love and support everyone has given us.'"

Changmin: "Our smiles right now are not natural, but rather forced as an alternative to our real feelings. When we don't have the motivation to work, we can't get anything done. Many new emotions arose, but we could only look forward. Our dreams of the past are the same compared to our dreams now, so as TVXQ, we want to create products that will be carried on forever throughout generations. This is a similar ambition that Yunho and I have."

Yunho: "We need to climb mountains but also descend them. Once we reach the pinnacle of one mountain, we realize there are even higher ones to mount. For that reason, we need to go down to the bottom and climb up to the top again. That day, when the two of us stood on the SM TOWN stage, we found the mountain that we needed to climb. Even if it's one step by one step, we need to steadily move towards the future."

Overcoming the stormy sea together, there are still many hindrances to triumph over. Yunho and Changmin, 2011, the rebirth of the new "TVXQ".
