090729 Yoochun’s Hardships Before Becoming a Singer

Micky Yoochun’s (23) parents, when he was in the sixth grade, moved to the U.S. due to a job relocation. Yoochun spent six years of his life in the U.S. until he decided to return to Korea. Yoochun states, “At that time, during the first year there at the U.S., I was really lonely. I usually spent my days at school or at home. I had no friends at that time.”

Yoochun’s younger brother, Yoohwan, who was faster at learning English, made friends a lot more quickly than Yoochun.

Since he was at home so much, Yoochun spent most of his time listening to music. And from then on, he decided that when he grew up, he’d become a well-known singer. At the ripe age of 17, Yoochun headed back to Korea to fulfill his dream. He had considered going to Japan, but decided against it since he knew no Japanese, and also, he had left friends from the sixth grade back in Korea.

After arriving in Korea, Yoochun set his heart on learning Japanese. Hence, every single time he were to reply or talk, he talked in Japanese. Yoochun said, “Now that I think about it, it was probably a smarter idea to go to Japan first…”

Yoochun was asked before: “What would happen to you now if you didn’t get in TVXQ and gave up on becoming a singer?” He replied, “I’m not too sure, because it has been my dream to become a singer since I was a child.”

“What do you think of your life as a singer? Any regrets or hardships?” Yoochun replied to this one like this:
“The only hardship I face is getting out of bed early in the morning. It is really hard.” (laughs)

I got bored.. and decided to translate it a bit ^^”

Nikkan Sports Daily: Changmin’s Interview

Dream to be News Reporter

Changmin (21) is a member who is in charge of “tight” talks in TV program. The youngest member in group, yet the person who takes care the solidness of group (collects important details).

The manager said, “When the other members’ opinion are disjointed, Changmin is the one who unites all the pieces. To take a baseball term… he’s the ‘pinch’.”

Changmin loves to watch sports, in elementary school, he had a dream to be a sports reporter. Even until now, he’s still taking sometime to check on news about baseball and soccer.

When he’s asked about Yakult’s team Lim Chang-Yong, he answered a lot about him, “I know much, right?” with smile.

“To be called as the “pinch” of the team, it’s delightful, however I guess all members also acts like that.” he said shyly.

His father is a Korean teacher, he grew up in a hard working family. Therefore he definitely had no experience in entertainment industry. Changmin was scouted when he’s still in junior high, through his current agency’s audition. “There’s a force that pushed me to follow the audition. Since entertainment is not a world that is close with my family, previously, my parents opposed my decision.” he said.

At the early days of Tohoshinki’s formation, he really felt the age gap among the members. “They’re all just like my seniors. But recently, even though we have 1-2 year age gap, we just feel like ordinary friends.”

The 5 members are living together in the same house, and he’s using the living room for sleeping with Junsu (T/N: can I say… LOL LOL LOL??). “The other 3 members and manager just like to walk in and out the living room. I’m happy, but when I need time for myself, I’ll take a walk outside.”

Continue to challenge actively

Because the dream to be on Tokyo Dome stage is already reached, the next goal is to have one million copies sold. In the middle of recession like this, 1 million copies sales seems to be impossible. “The dream of all artists, to perform in front of 100,000 audiences, I’m so glad. But to have 1 million CD sales, I will be even happier.”

If you have a chance to challenge the actor business in Japan

“All members are active in that challenge, I want to do a lot of things people do. If I never come to Japan, I will never think that way. Maybe to perform in other countries wont be bad as well, I just want to do something. We’re all still young, even we might get failed, we would like to challenge as much as possible.”

Changmin with positive thinking, heading to the next dream
