TVXQ Reflects on First Comeback Stage, Yunho Clarifies His ‘Thanks To’ Message

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

After pre-recording for their comeback stage on KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank” today, the boys of TVXQ met with reporters to discuss their love for the stage, their ambition for a strong performance, and to clarify the controversial ‘Thanks To’ message.

Starting off, the duo shared, “We’ve wanted to stand on stage for a while. It’s really emotional.” Yunho continued, “It feels unique coming to the broadcast hall after such a long time. I’m more excited than nervous about our first stage. Unfortunately, I caught a cold, and wasn’t able to show the best stage possible.”

Changmin added, “While watching the year-end award ceremonies last year, all I could think about was wanting to stand on stage. I thought I’d be nervous, but maybe this is what it feels like to come back home after studying abroad.”


The reporter brought up how fans have waited for their return for over two years, to which Yunho replied, “We’ll work as hard as our fans have waited for our return. We’ll be standing on many stages as singers, and appear on variety shows as well. It’s important to do well, but even more important to try our best. Please look forward to us.”

In an interview with Star News, Yunho stated, “It’s been a while since we’ve stood on a Korean stage, so I was very excited, feeling very much like a rookie again. We’ve gotten a lot of juniors here at the broadcast hall, and I felt thankful in being greeted by them. We’ll be promoting ‘Keep Your Head Down‘, and we’ll show a good image to our fellow seniors, juniors, and our fans.”

Changmin added, “It feels good returning to Korea. The broadcast hall feels like our home, it’s very fun.”

Regarding the controversy surrounding ‘the second coming of TVXQ‘ statement in his ‘Thanks To’, Yunho clarified, “It’s just an expression of our feelings in starting our activities again as a duo. After a long while, Changmin and I have released an album, the message was just meant to be an expression of greeting our fans again. It’s our new sense of determination.”

When asked about the differences between singing a song with two members as opposed to five, Yunho answered, “First of all, you need more stamina. Changmin took charge of the high notes while I covered the lower notes. I was worried about whether they’d match, but thankfully it harmonizes well. We tried to pay attention to every part of our choreography. It’s an album we’re confident in, as we’ve put our best in it for our fans to look forward to.”

The duo also completed an interview with KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay,” which will broadcast at 9 PM KST on January 8th.

Nothing wrong with what he said. They really tried hard for this album, and wanted to show their fans that.

You go Yunho coco! Their comeback stage was fucking amazing, I CAN'T.

I don't give a fuck what the growing cesspool of fandom thinks, but I will always support my boys as five, two or three. THEY ARE STILL MY FAVOURITE BOYS ♥

[jeugd1.livejournal.com]

[yuxo.livejournal.com]

already shaking in anticipation for tonight's mucore asldkjasg i'm gonna die all over twitter again i just know it T_T

[itsplashes.livejournal.com]

Gurl, hi. ;A; Stupid YT didn't completely load the Homin perfs for me. I am deprived! I didn't even get to hear Changmin say his sexy English line!!!

[kurogoma.livejournal.com]

idk, yunho's words have a calming effect on me personally.

looking forward to tonight's and tomorrow's performances. they had positive reviews so far for mubank yesterday ^^

[itsplashes.livejournal.com]

Yunho always has a calming effect on me. :')

[deutscher-engel.livejournal.com]

\O/

Also I'm still impressed that that's what he sounded like with a frigging cold. Unf.

[changminlv.livejournal.com]

wow impression



i hate to say this but another drama is coming. jyj and lyric from their song :/ god bless this fandom

[jelly16.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[childishgrin.livejournal.com]

I WANT THEM ON RUNNING MAN. Especially since they're both (or maybe just Yunho, since Chagmin likes to drink by himself at night at the playground) quite close to Yoo JaeSuk and then there's Kim Jong Kook who doted so much on Yunho during the X-man days.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

Yunho shouldn't have to apologize for anything, he did nothing wrong.

I think they're just happy to be doing what they love again, Yunho looked like he was going to cry when they were singing How Can I ;A;

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

I'm so damn excited for the rest of their comeback stages this week :D

Hearing the Cassies screaming during Why was so awesome ♥

[jhj2001.livejournal.com]

nice of you you're supporting all five, i see.

[platinumpair.livejournal.com]

So that's what Yunho sounds like with a cold. I was having a fangirl moment throughout the entire performance as I watched it on youtube in science class. Lucky that my teacher didn't notice.

I'll be stalking their comeback stages!

[xfactorglory.livejournal.com]

A true fangirl XD

[imfogi.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how true this is but a friend of mine just tweeted:

one girl has killed herself due to TVXQ vs JYJ thing. She said in her suicide note,"I'll protect TVXQ forever"


Seriously. I've never dreaded reading DBSk/TVXQ posts this much in my entire life. (T_T)

[imfogi.livejournal.com]

On another note, GO HOMIN! GO JYJ! <3

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

They did an amazing job last night. I can't wait for the ones tonight and tomorrow night. The boys were clearly born to be performing on stage.

I wanna see Yunho and Changmin in variety shows with Kang Hodong, Yoo Jaesuk, Park Myungsoo, Haha, Kim Jong Kook. I would die of happiness if some random producers come up with the idea of resurrecting and recreating X-Man for just 1 episode so that everyone could be in one awesome show. Add in Shin Bong Sun and Kim Shinyoung for their epic DBSK fangirling. :)

[cleanb.livejournal.com]

YES PLEASE.

[scarletpeonies.livejournal.com]

lol this is me too rn

maknae is so qt ide ;~;

[rainydayphotos.livejournal.com]

I look forward to seeing your best :)

If I come into every DBSK with a positive thought, it might buffer some of the potentional bad news.

[jo-hyuksu.livejournal.com]

CHEER DANCE LOL OMG NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT. CANNOT UNSEE. but hhahah hey i loved that 'dance break'. its almost as strange as super junior's bonamana dance break. love it love it hahaha. its cute. though changmin did it pretty weakly as opposed to in the MV. but whatEVER flawless anyway.

god his last line he looked SO pissed though, he put so much energy into yelling line that he didnt even have the breath to sing the 'wae' after that. :\ oh our poor bb changmin.
