[liongurl]

thanks for the interview translations tsukushi! haha junsu really sounds adorably hyper these days <3. nya but jae was so quiet...xD but i love reading interviews on the boys because they sound so unguarded when answering questions asked by a reporter...as opposed to a radio interview.

uruchai:have i said ever thanked you for all the info and pics you provide the soompiers with? THANKSSS haha. anyway...the picture from the busan concert singing IWHY. if i remember correctly, wasn't that the first time he performed rising sun at a venue in korea? ^^ *pets jae* then again, jae does get emotionally involved in the songs he sings...like that perf of the song "crying" when he actually teared at the end...and he teared abit singing begin during one of the HMS concerts too...so it could be just that...

ohhh and pic 1a is erm...i think jae with his high school teacher and class? i'm not sure but that was what the original uncropped versions of those pics were labelled as when they surfaced last time...it was taken sometime in the last quarter of 2006. haha i only recognise it cus you can see the teacher's orange shirt

1b is ADORABLE. haha he looks damn cute. i want to know where its from too!

[synickal]

i dont think the huge tvxqsoul tattoos are real. i think they're just temporary things

Those tattoos are real. In the Gag Concert, Jaejoong shows his back and he has a large patch covering his tattoo. If it were temporary, then why would he need something to cover it up? There's been several photos posted where it's visible (in the older thread there's a few). You can see it in Gold Fisheries too.

[JustUNuSUal]

yOunha05: To answer your questions...

1) Everything about them! Their songs, behavior, looks, friendship/brotherhood, promotions, concerts, dancing... everything! Well almost everything..

2) Argh this is hard.. Ok it's shorter if I just listed the songs I could do without Balloons and Triangle!

3) Junsu, no question about it. I like the boyish, blur, soccer-loving, enthusiastic, playful, hyperactive lad I see off-stage and the charismatic, serious and perfectionistic performer on-stage. Would really like to find out what he's like away from all the cameras. And Changmin comes in second! With his sacarstic humour, love for food and respect/manners for everyone.

4) Their chemistry that's there all the time! And their determination to work hard.

5) I'm not sure if what I think is correct. I thought there were pictures of Jaejoong smoking, but they were doing the anti-smoking campaign at about the same time? And they had the stop-smoking video on youtube as well? Would someone please clarify this? Sorry to dredge up the past.. And, I hate that I won't get to be friends with them ever in this life. I also dislike them for being so good at what they do that I've been paying more attention to them than is warranted

[MythnoonA]

not only are Micky and Jaejoong's tatoos real, but they've had them a few years already. They'd be pretty hard to keep re-doing.^^ This one on Micky's arm is fake (Yunho had one too, I think--but not sure about anyone else).

about this one-- i'm not 100% sure, because I couldn't look at pics or news from that time >< Someone please correct me if I'm wrong--judging by the date, this was only a few days after JJ's DUI, and this might have been one of the times he was apologizing.

[icedcookie]

and.. some pics of micky eating a banana..

THAT IS SO CUTE ! look at his mouth all full lol

[Mi.]

yOunha05, I wanna answer these questions!! xD

1) What makes them so popular?
Ofcourse, they are great as singers and dancers (awesome following the boyband concept), but they have charisma.. They are just cute as a family, it's weird to think they're not real brothers, it's just natural.. They carry this gentle/polite impression, and they look young. (what I mean is that they are very cute) My point is: they are very charming and they spread that image to their fans.. like: 'Let's sing together'..

2) What is your favorite TVXQ song/s? Why?
I can't decide! xD I like Begin, Hug, Tri-angle, Sky, Unforgettable, One (japanese&Kor versions xD), Step by Step... Miduhyo, Guhrigo, Pungsan (?correct? xD), My destiny, Choosey Lover, I wish, Hi ya ya~ summer days, Your love is all I need, Tonight, O sei han go & O jung ban hap, Rising Sun (japanese&Kor versions), Stay with me tonight, miss you.. xD they're also awesome as an 'accapella chorus groupu' xD I love the accapella version of Begin!! xD

3) What do you think is the best thing about them? Why?
Hm.. Being singers, they're awesome.. they look cool dancing, they have a good appearence, but the most important (really the most important) is that they always carry this polite manner in these interviews.. That's what I really love about them.. Their interviews are funny, they always carry this 'humble' image saying they wanna do their best.. That's the cool image! It feels natural when they are smiling and thanking us (their fans!!).. It really looks like they are BEING polite, not just pretending to be, or just trying to be cool.

4) Who is your favorite member? Why?
Hero. Beautiful voice, I still can't believe he used to be a bad singer. xD He has charisma, he's good-looking and cute.. (all of them are cute, but he looks the cutest) =) and ofcourse.. he cooks!! xD haha.. TVXQ no Mama, come cook to me! xD

5) What do you dislike about them? Why? (This is just my personal question. To be fair, I also want to know what is the worst thing about this boyband. I want to measure how light it is)
Dislike? Hm. That's a difficult question.. I just said they're great.. well, maybe the bad thing is that they have too many crazy fans. I can't tell why I dislike them, I don't dislike anything about them. I know they are not perfect, but who tries to be perfect is so good as the perfect one.. because when I read something bad about them I just ignore it.. =) Well, I'm not being a crazy fan, but I'm trying to respect their situation.. xD hm.. I am getting confused, I'd better stop. xD

JJ camwhorin'

JJ really loves the camera. i love his expressions.. i was hyperventilating.

Xiah dancing
i dont know if this has been posted.. this is a video of Xiah dancing in heroine 6.. the way he used the glow in the dark sticks are sooo coool

[ipachiy]

1) What makes them so popular?
I think it's because of their talents. Their voices are very great and also their dance styles .
First , I think TVXQ is pop-dance boyband ... but when I find more details about them , I just know that TVXQ is acappella boyband ...... Because they can dance very well so a lot of people always think same as me that TVXQ is pop-dance boyband.

2) What is your favorite TVXQ song/s? Why?
Ohhh.. I love every songs of them and my favorite is 'I'll be there'


3) What do you think is the best thing about them? Why?
I love the way they take care for each other , they play together , talk together , live together ... How cute of them !

4) Who is your favorite member? Why?
only YUNHO! He's leader of group and he shows everyone that he can be the 'good' leader.
I read from the interviews and saw from many clips , I feel that yunho can protect and take care everyone so well.
He's strong person but anyway he 's very mild and polite .

5) What do you dislike about them? Why? (This is just my personal question. To be fair, I also want to know what is the worst thing about this boyband. I want to measure how light it is)
I dislike them....hmm
they are too cute and smart .... my soul will melt because of them hihi Saranghae YUNHO OPPA!

Wow, they're really artistic. I have no dout that they are talented.
Yunho's panda is the coolest. It's groovy as he is. Somehow it reminds me of american cartoon chracters. He's just use black ink? So cool!!
Jaejoong's panda in the cutest and sweetest. It looks just as cute and dorky as himself. I love the pink panda.
Junsu's panda is funniest and most charismatic. Is Junsu into the word "charismatic" recently, right? I love all his japanese jokes.
Yoochun's panda is the most creative and down-to-eart. He's so creative too.
Changmin's panda has the most details. His panda has nails!!! This is really show how much he dedicates for everything he does.

Arghh I may overanalyze, but this is what I really think when I saw the pandas.
