[frantastic.livejournal.com]

After ambitiously appearing for nine months, TVXQ’s Changmin will be leaving KBS’ Our Neighborhood′s Variety and Sports.

On January 7, the staff of Our Neighborhood′s Variety and Sports revealed that Changmin will be leaving the show after the last filming of the basketball special on January 15.

With TVXQ’s recently released seventh album, Changmin brought his desire to focus on his album promotions. After much discussion, Changmin and the staff decided that the basketball special will be his last on the show.

For 43 episodes since April 19 of 2013, Changmin participated in Our Neighborhood′s Variety and Sports, acting as the passionate maknae while playing table tennis, bowling, badminton, and basketball, receiving much love from the viewers.

“We decided to have a beautiful farewell with Changmin after being with him since the first episode. We want to thank Changmin for showing his passion and sweat through Our Neighborhood′s Variety and Sports,” said the staff. “As he returns to his rightful place as a TVXQ member, we hope you will continue to love and support Changmin.”

Aaaaaaawwwwwww. :( I'm gonna miss him in the show, but honestly, it was only a matter of time when he'll drop it to focus on DBSK activities. Doing this show on top of everything else he does is crazy considering he shot most of the show while on tour.

Oh, it's kind of interesting that toilet paper is considered an okay housewarming/wedding gift in Korea. My dad always give toilet paper as a wedding gift and my mom is super ashamed of/annoyed by it every time. But it makes sense and it's a useful gift, especially if you get them really nice toilet paper they might not have bought themselves. (what is this comment omg)

In korea, the toilet paper is actually considered something like a sign of prosperity - like the longer the length of toilet paper you pull the more the wealth etc

His permachapped lips are part of his being at this point. I've never seen them any other way.

That's such a shame. I wonder if they'll replace him or not.

I've really enjoyed this show. I did start watching for Changmin but enjoy it now in its own right. It's a great format - changing the sport every few months keeps it fresh and they've been blessed with a great selection of guests. John Park would make a good replacement for Changmin - he's got a good rapport with Ho Dong and a less punishing schedule.

Daw. I need to find all the episodes in HD to marathon with my mom who keeps bugging me about it since we watched the first 6 episodes a few months back. Cannot find. I've not gotten to experience his dumb with John outside of gifs, and can only imagine just how damn lulzy they are.
