[TRANS] 100519 TV PIA MAGAZINE – Yunho: “I Am A Hardworking Person”

Yunho starred in the television drama [No Limit~ Heading To The Ground], and took up the challenge of portraying the character of Bong Gun, who is passionate yet constantly gets into trouble.

“Bong Gun is someone who is very innocent. Even when he faces an obstacle, and it is very tough, he will work very hard to overcome the obstacle, and in the process of it, mature at the same time. This is quite similar to my own life experience and that was why I wanted to try out for this character. I also met up with numerous obstacles and challenges before my debut, but I always believed that I would make it on stage one day, and this belief is very similar to that of Bong Gun’s.”

Through this drama, I had a deeper understanding of the differences between being a singer and being an actor.

“A singer has to be able to let the audience experience a range of emotions with about three minutes of music. However, in a drama, we have to work closely together with the crew, and from the first to the sixteenth episode, be able to act out the character in such a convincing way that it will allows the audience to see him grow and mature. As this is my first television drama, feeling anxious is inevitable, but I am glad I was able to act out the character of Bong Gun, who matured as the drama progressed. I feel that I have grown myself. Even though the filming has ended, Bong Gun still lives in my heart.”

The character is a soccer player, and so, in order to play out the character well, Yunho would play the sport as often as he can when he has the time.

“I would play soccer with the crew during break or resting times, and would practice stopping the ball amongst other skills. I enjoyed myself a lot as I like soccer myself. Also, as most of the moves are pretty special, we often had to re-take a couple of times before we succeeded. It was really tough, and I hope everyone will pay more attention to those parts. Bong Gun has a soccer player whom he looks up to, and as for me, I like Argentina’s Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, this year is the World Cup, and Asia is on a strong momentum; if Korea and Japan were to determine the victory, it would be great.”

Seeing a happy expression on his face as he talked about soccer really left a deep impression on us.
Furthermore, when asked if he will take on more challenging roles as an actor after this performance, he replied confidently, “I want to continue to act different roles like that of a villain; something that is not just limited to the image of “Uknow Yunho”. I hope for everyone to see me in different portrayals of different characters. My strength is that I would take up any challenge passionately, because I am a hardworking person. It doesn’t take talent alone to succeed. Michael Jackson was actually a very hardworking person too.” He also mentioned later that he really likes Michael Jackson.

[Trans] 100520 Vivi July Issue – Junsu

XIAH Junsu

PARTY ALONE

There’s happiness too when it’s just you

Debuting as a member of Tohoshinki in 2004, being called a “prodigy” from his natural singing talent has gained a lot of popularity. This time as XIAH Junsu he will release his first Japanese solo single. And also, one of the songs is composed by Junsu himself! The song contains his thoughts and about his challenge of a musical at the start of the year, including also things about being solo and so on!!

—Please tell us about “Intoxication” and “Kanashimi no Yukue” in the single to be released. What kind of feelings did you want to express through the song?
Even though “Intoxication” is a piece that I self-composed, I had wanted to try to combine black music and RnB to make a dance song. This is my first solo single in Japan, so I used a music style that I liked a lot. I think it’s a simple yet sexy and stylish dance song. “Kanashimi no Yukue” is just as the title states, I used my own sadness to express the song. It’s like.. you know when guys have a time where they’re weak and show it right? It’s like I wanted to express that out straightforwardly…

「When I have a break, I want to go to a country with palm trees, and sleep under it」

—What are the differences between solo and group activities?
The most important thing about group activities is the balance. But with solo activities, with one person, you have to keep the attention, or otherwise it won’t work out. That’s why being powerful and dynamic is a must. The points where I have to place my power in is very different, and i’m still not too used to it.

「A habit that I don’t want others to know, is that I sleep fully nude!」

—This year you also challenged acting in a musical for the first time, was there any dis-coordination?
It was totally different! As I thought, you can’t sing with a pop feel. Talking about what’s different, it’s kind of hard to say it through words… (in truth if you perform, then you’ll feel that difference!) Thanks to the musical, I learnt a lot, and on top of that, it made me really happy to hear the passionate cheering of the fans. As I thought, i’m the happiest when i’m on the stage~

「If it was only me on an island, I do think I will sing」

—Lastly, please tell us what you want to do from now on!
Work, love, a thinking method…. I want to be a man who can excel in everything. Then, I would like to seal up my oyaji gags (laughs). If it’s a solo, then I want to compete with music!

When i’m by myself, i’ll be happy by doing these things!

Childhood times:
Because i’m always with my twin, Junho, we always play pranks on people. If there’s a girl we like, we would suddenly scare her so she would turn to look at us. Now that I think back about it, I wonder why I did those things, I regret it quite a bit (laughs).

Primary school times:
Basically it was all soccer! Recently I sometimes read back on the journals I wrote then, and 80% of it was about soccer. Sleeping, going to school, playing soccer; it was just these three things (forced smile).

High school times:
I began to be a trainee when I was 12, and I was already a high school student, thinking only of singing. After that naturally is dance practise. The me back then, worked really hard to be an artist.

After debut:
Because it was so busy, there was practically no me-time. But during the occasional break, sometimes I want to sleep, or watch a movie; these kind of things. If there’s suddenly a blank, I myself didn’t know what I should of done.

Recently:
Recently i’ve been busy composing. When making a dance song, I would just dance randomly to it too. Because i’m by myself, so I don’t have to worry about others seeing me (laughs). In the end, if you don’t listen the song and just dance to it, it just wouldn’t work.

[TRANS] 100521 DBSK’s Trio’s New Group To Be Called “J.Y.J”?

DBSK’s three members, Xiah Junsu’s, Micky Yoochun’s and Youngwoong JaeJoong’s scheduled fan meeting cum concert in Japan will soon be coming to pass in June, and concerns have been raised over the decision to use the name “J.Y.J” for the promotional activities.

In April this year, the trio announced the formation of the new group through their Japan management company, Avex, effectively halting all DBSK’s activities. The three members will officially begin their own activities in Japan starting from the 5th of June by holding fan meetings cum concerts in Osaka’s Kyocera Dome and Tokyo’s Tokyo Dome. They have recently begun producing concert posters and other promotional activities using the name J.Y.J. J.Y.J is formed by putting together the first alphabet of the English names of Junsu, Yoochun and JaeJoong respectively. Hence, it is highly possible that this could be the name of the new group formed by the trio.

To this issue, a close source to the trio stated on the 19th of May that “before AVEX declared the birth of the new group through major events, the name J.Y.J was decided upon during the production process of posters for the concert.”, “Even though the name J.Y.J is used in the promoting of the concerts, it has not been decided yet if it will ultimately be the name for the group.” He added on later, saying that “before Avex makes an official announcement, the group’s name is still undetermined.”

The trio will hold four different fan meeting cum concert on the 5th and 6th of June, and the 12th and 13th of June, at Kyocera Dome and Tokyo Dome respectively. The large-scale concerts will be able to accommodate close to 50,000 spectators in each of its concert venue.

[TRANS] 100521 Yoochun Was Nervous The Day Before Filming Commenced For 'SungKyunKwan Scandal'

Yoochun, who will be one of the main leads for the new-age historical drama “SungKyunKwan Scandal”, was feeling nervous the week before he was scheduled to begin filming. “SungKyunKwan Scandal” will be broadcast by KBS this coming September, and is based on the popular novel “The Lives of SungKyunKwan Confucian Scholars” by Jung Eun Gweol. Yoochun will be part of the “Modern F4” and will be taking on the character of the leader of the group, Lee Seonjun, who is overbearing and a mummy’s boy at the same time.

A representative for Yoochun expressed over a phone conversation with OSEN on the afternoon of the 20th that “As the eve of the first shooting drew near, Yoochun started to practice his lines. He had received a lot of help from the seniors who are acting with him” and “because the words and tone used in the drama differs from modern day conversation, he has been spending more time and effort to practice [his speech]. He is also currently learning how to ride a horse.”

He also added, “As this is the first time that Yoochun is challenging acting, he is feeling both excited and worried at the same time. He is quite distressed over his own role and is in the midst of preparing himself well. We hope that everyone will look forward to and support his performance.”

On the other hand, decisions regarding the key female roles “SungKyunKwan Scandal” are also in their final stages. The list of cast will be confirmed either this week or next week, as they plan to commence the first session of filming.
