[Trans] VOGUE KOREA Oct. Issue Interview
TVXQ. It was breathless to read the four letters. I had soon forgotten that the seasons have changed a multiple times while checking when they would comeback. As soon as their comeback was confirmed, it didnt take half the time for the bear to eat mugwort and garlic to become OongNyeo* (Fuzzybunny: This is referring to the birth myth of Korea) to get the interview scheduled. For TVXQ, who must have the foreseeable future in their mind for their every move, daily schedules are filled in beforehand, clearly. So the problem didnt start till then. We got greedy and asked them to meet us outside, rather than in an indoor studio. We asked the celebs who should be hiding themselves to meet us in a place where nothing hid them. Picturing two men who would stand in the dark sight with the definition of tough guy dripping all over, we settled on a desolate part of Nodul Island. The main characters are TVXQ. To think of that name, which makes us risk any and every strategy, there should not be any interference in this project. We got the Ok sign from the control office and the police. What if we set the fire on the drum for the photoshoot and someone who just happens to pass by the Hangangdaegyo reports it mistakenly? We reported todays shooting to the fire station. Even the way to the said area, crossing the Nodul Island vegetable gardens from Hangangdaedyo area wasnt easy. When we finally delivered a clamorous map to TVXQs guardian, an employee from the SM Entertainment, he noticed the 007 Plan and yelled out, Are we shooting a movie!
TVXQ had very little sleep for the past 3 days, shooting the music video for their new album. The interview took place around the time when everything was getting ready in preparation for the new album release in the end of September. The two, who didnt even have the time to trim their beard, got out of their van. It would be hard for the two, who met in their teens, to grow up in similar speed and condition, but Uknow Yunho and Max Changmin were in very similar shape, as if theyve met for the Over 180cm, 9 head figure group. The first things that got blurted out of our mouth in meeting them were not the formal pleasantries but rather, simple and clear adjectives. So tall and Handsome. When one said So tall! the other replied by saying Super handsome! (The fashion reporter who was responsible for their styling was 5 months into pregnancy and gloated at seeing them standing there as it was apparently good for prenatal education).
As the previous album was released on January of 2011, it was definitely not a short break if one remembers the current music industry pattern. Of course, this break is only if were thinking of Korea. When they are out of our sight, they were in Japan or some parts of Asia. Big concert schedules such as A-NATION by TVXQs Japanese agency AVEX, SM TOWN where all performers from SM Entertainment appears, and TVXQs own tour dizzily cross each other on calendar. I attempted to somewhat memorize it, only to give up very quickly. Even the SM PR representative has given up on it. The reason why the broadcasting stations could make concerts like Korean Music Wave to go around the glove is because SM Town World Tour in Paris has proven something. I remember my eyes popping out at the photos and videos from Paris while watching them to write the <Vogue> exclusive report last summer.
We did a lot of tour in Japan, but Paris was completely new. As well, I thought they may find us unfamiliar compared to all the active juniors
but the crowd started singing the Korean lyric along as soon as we started Mirotic. It was so cool! I was really surprised, remembered Yunho. Regardless of who, when you get interested in a person you get interested in his or her culture. Kind of like that, I think more performers were given the opportunity. There was a period where Sorry Sorry by Super Junior was really hot overseas. Surely there has to be some Europeans who learned about TVXQ and SM performers through that? There has to be both excitement and fear before jumping into a new market. Yunho remembered that the fear was a little greater. It does feel like were the national representatives. But somewhere along the way, we were just having fun. At that point, it felt like I leveled up.
Whats interesting about SM Entertainment is that their ideas connect with others in the end. And these ideas are usually confusing at first. Super Junior, which is composed of many people and different members in Korea and Japan was like that, and F(X) who brought out lyrics that were difficult to understand even in the 20s was like that. TVXQ was confusing even from its name. A name targeting the Asian market. Theyre called TVXQ overseas. In Japan its Tohoshinki. When theres a K-POP concert, whichever continent its held in, they decorate the finale. If thats because of the power of the largest entertainment in Korea, the crews must be up to par with it to survive. When TVXQ brought out the previous album, they blew all concerns about how the duo will be lacking or foreign on their first stage. It was smooth slick, not leaning towards any of music, performance, singing, or rap.
To the singers who are doubtlessly on top level, ranking in #1 on various charts may not mean much. Of course, there are events such as bringing the most audience as a Korean singer in Japanese Tour, or ranking 10 singles on #1 spot for the first time as a foreign artist on the Oricon Weekly chart. To TVXQ like that, what do they need to have in their mind while being active? They surely would make decent profits by bringing a dance version of popular childrens song. Yunho said without hesitation. My thoughts differ. Thats when we start. Thats the point where we can start going downhill. It only means something if we break our own record. Right now is TVXQs That moment. Changmin said cautiously. If I compare it to school life, the memories remain more precious when you do a lot of things well rather than just being #1 in academics. I want to build more than the #1 in academics. To be honest, our music isnt even something that would be #1 in a lot of places. Songs that a lot of people can listen to while having fun, are the ones that get #1 these days.
The topic changed to music. The idols who may appear to only concern about being pretty and look handsome, worry seriously about music from time to time. As an actor becomes famous by meeting a good character, a good music can brand the singer. TVXQ has passed the freshmen years long past, to be a nine year old group. Even the people who cant distinguish between Uknow Yunho and Max Changmin would know that TVXQ isnt a team making just another sweet song. TVXQ and its music go well with uniforms like suit, despite the powerful dance. It has a pattern to an extent, its sometimes determined, and its closer to being dark than being bright. Its not a song we can sing along well in karaoke either (If I do, I fall tired while singing). During our conversation, we called this simply a heavy music. It definitely differs a bit from the current music trend. Ever since the well playing BigBang has changed the dynamics, if a performance-based singer couldnt do one or the other, it didnt look so good. Either you play up the stage, or you refine it perfectly.
The reason why TVXQ is still top when theyre walking a different path from the trend is because they have their refined stage and music. The dynamically formed stage combines with the looks, the shape, and the performance to reveal their body. Yunho is improving day by day on his singing ability, and Changmin is the person who got the best Shouting! Yoo Young Jins genes out of all SM performers. TVXQ had to try their best even after becoming somewhat successful. Its because the two of them had to do everything. A while ago, a guy at the health club just came up and said Youre Uknow Yunho, right? and continued You guys got this one thing. So you look different from all others. We sometimes hear that it seems like were spitting out blood. There are times when I do want to try a more trendy music. But we have our root elsewhere. Its something that started when we sung Rising Sun.
Changmin talked a lot with the producer Yoo Young Jin about the colour of TVXQ while preparing this album. To put it simply, he decided that if they bring out a heavy music again, the listeners and the viewers will define what TVXQ is. Changmin seemed to be concerned about being defined as just their own music. TVXQs conclusion was that in the new album they need to take a slightly different direction. A little easier, a little brighter, with various genres. Its always our homework. Not losing the current style but finding a connection with a variety of people
It must be a dilemma for everyone who expresses something for work. The popular culture changes the It trend very fast and uses it up. If we have to follow the publics taste every single time, we wont survive in the end. Yunho said after Changmin. Im confident. While preparing for this album, I felt a lot lot lot lot of things. Not just from the work, but from my personal life as well. I cant tell you what it is, haha. As I had a lot of thoughts, I want to believe that Ive given some life into the album.
Yunho and Changmin are standing in the same land, but their styles differ a bit. Yunho mustve been a MAN from the moment he was born. A MAN whos not macho. How precious! He treasures past and roots much. He even watches frequently their debut song, Hug or previous stage performances. The times when he wanted to become the bed of your room for just one day, the teen times which a grown up man would find embarrassing. Yunho acknowledged that he does cringe a bit. But because I had that, I have now. So I dont want to forget about it. The times when I lived as Jung Yunho rather than Uknow Yunho, the times when I was a trainee
I try not to forget about those times. I meet up with old friends often. I live hard, but everyone else really lives hard. I just had a little more of experiences that they couldnt have. But when I see my friends working very hard to get things that I get easily from others, I feel that Im still young. Types like these dont change easily wherever they are, whatever they do.
The story about him in middle school, participating in SM Teen Best Competition and asking the judges to see my dance to the end, whether you will drop me or not. The stories about doing all kinds of part time jobs such as removing snow, serving at a meat buffet, etc. in Seoul as a trainee all the way from Gwangju. Yunho may have been different from other immature male students even then. But it was still surprising to see him talk about sleeping at the Seoul station and parks in <Knee Jerk Guru>. He even told us a tip about sleeping in the open. When you sleep on a bench, you cross your arms, keep the hands in the armpit to save heat, and cross the legs. Such experiences would have played a big part in making the calloused man Yunho is. Yunho hyung is overflowing with fighting, said Changmin. when everyones tired and worn out, there has to be someone who pushes everyone through it, and hyung does that for us. It was Yunho who talked to us first and agreed with us in a tone full of fighting during the photo shooting or interviewing.
Changmin has said through multiple occasions that hes thought a lot about how it wouldve been to live an average life. The story about getting picked up by the SM employee who was watching him suspiciously while he was playing badminton in middle school (there were casting managers in the 90s who wandered round the middle-high schools in order to find the hidden gems), or the story about doing some army clapping moves when they asked him to dance, are so contrasting to Yunho that it makes us laugh. When theres a day off, Yunho always goes out, whether it be just for a walk. Changmin leaves himself free, eating, sleeping, and just rolling around. He doesnt ask the hypothetical question anymore. Its not that I changed intentionally, but it just happened naturally. Its a little embarrassing, but this work became fun. I learned to enjoy it somewhere along the way as well. It will take a bit more time to enjoy acting. Changmins first TV drama <Paradise Ranch> wasnt so lucky getting scheduled in. Changmin has recently shot the movie <Fly with the Gold> with Tsumabuki Satoshi and Asano Tadanobu. A role of North Korean spy, pretending to be an international student. My reaction was 0.5 seconds slower than other actors, having to communicate in foreign language and understand the character. It was very hard. If I may say, I truly felt that actors like Lee Byung Hyun are really great.
The Changmin I found out through the media seemed to be sensitive and delicate, harsh on himself, and kind of like a poker-faced person. When I asked Yunho about good qualities of Changmin he said He never speaks easily. He always thinks multiple times and shows with his actions. Changmin really spoke delicately and cautiously. When he talked about his important qualities he said I want to live easily and happily. If I have fun every day I may not know that its fun in the future, so I want to have fun as much as right now drinking, on stage, with family and loved ones and added that maybe Im saying fun and happily easily because Im much better off financially than my peers. Others may call it carefree
. When he was talking about being #1, he looked for an euphemistic expression, in worries of devaluing others opinions about #1. It was brave to see him deliver his opinion prudently but clearly. Of course, he can joke around with funny faces, saying I can rap so freaking well. There were moments when his eyes got big and sparkled, and one of it was when we were talking about soccer. Talking about how theres no end when you go online for soccer
we ended up concluding that Otakus move the world.
Although TVXQ is always surrounded by crowds, building airplane mileages like Geroge Clooney from <In the Air>, I could see the two men in mid 20s, on land, through the small and ordinary talks we had. The men who live switching constantly between the spectacular stages and whatevers below it. They can now immediately switch mood below the stage without needing to calm the emotional waves down. But such ordinary people Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin, also known as the Uknow Yunho and Max Changmin who stand the Tokyo Dome stage, full of 55000 people, must draw their futures. Some fandoms carry the experiences of their old idol groups who they believed to be forever their oppas separating away suddenly. If the idols from the past learned that popularity is only for a moment after the times have passed, their result and choices could be a database for idols currently active.
Yunho said that he could continue TVXQ even after he aged. Since Michael Jackson went to his 50s, he could keep the TVXQ style and still go with it as long as his body allows it. I do have the hope to perform good music even after times have passed. I would be a little more knowledgeable then, and I want to help out the juniors who would be going through what Ive gone through. Id like to have a family that I can take care of in mid or late 30s personally as well. Changmin remembered Kaneshiro Takeshi, who lived around Asia as if they were all one country. (He?) performed in Japan and in the Greater China region in their respective languages. I dream about acting and singing while traveling free and limitlessly. Of course, I could live like that even while doing TVXQs music like now. Yunho and Changmin, who were picturing their 30s didnt separate their hard-kept and well-keeping TVXQ from it. I hope their future goes as what they pictured now. Theres about as much time as what has passed since they first got into SM Entertainment to reach that goal. They said it themselves. It only means it if they break their own record. Will TVXQ transgress TVXQ?
