CHANGMIN
Q: What would you like to do during your leisure time?
CM: I like climbing mountains. I like to go alone. I mostly go alone rather than with friends. I would like to climb mountains whenever I find the time to do so.
Q: Your secret desire for 5 dome tour?
CM: The stage will be bigger than last year.I think we will be able to do a more gorgeous, fantastic, and a powerful performance. But since the stage is bigger, from the audiences’ view, we might look like a qtip (cotton swab). To prevent these things, I think we would like to setup the stage so that ppl from different directions and angles can also be able to look at us clearly.
Q: What will you have as your last supper?
Yunho: Water~ Drinking water cleanse the body..
Changmin: Meat and Beer~♡

Sankei Sports reported, “TVXQ visited the filming location of ‘Saki’, for which they sang the theme song ‘Catch Me – If You Wanna’, to support the drama and ended up making a cameo appearance as magazine reporters after the director offered them the role on the spot. They appeared as guests eating cake at a cafe, and their presence rivaled that of the main characters.”
It was later said that U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin jokingly commented, “We’re always up to any and all roles that involve eating. We’re thinking of taking on Japanese food next.”

Q: The 5 Dome Tour has been announced. Congratulations. How did you feel when you first heard the news?
C: Having this 5 Dome Tour was a dream for us since 9…10 years. I’m really happy that this dream comes true but at the same time…having this dream come true made me feel some kind of emptiness. We’ve made this dream come true, but after that we have to find another goal. Of course, we will go look for a new goal….but I don’t know how to explain it but I feel kind of sentimental. It feels a little weird for me too. Nevertheless, I am happy.
The K-pop group with the highest worldwide sales is TVXQ.
On the 10th of February, local Japanese press released an article with the title, ‘The rankings of K-pop artistes with the highest worldwide sales are revealed’.
According to the article, a post about ‘Korean artistes’ sales rankings’ was posted on an online foreign community thread and is spreading rapidly.
The group that came out on top of the rankings is TVXQ. TVXQ’s total sales count is more than twice the amount of Girls’ Generation, who came in at second place, and boasted the group’s superiority. Second place was taken by Korea’s most representative girl group Girls’ Generation, and they were followed by KARA in third place. Big Bang, Super Junior, SHINee, 2PM, CN BLUE, JYJ and B2st made up the rest of the top 10.
The rankings include the official information from over 10 different websites of sales of albums, singles, DVDs, Blu-rays, photobooks, live concert albums, videos and CDs. The validity of the rankings can’t be ignored as the Korean sales counts are taken from the Gaon Charts and the Hanteo Charts, and the Japanese sales counts are taken from the Oricon charts.
Japanese netizens who heard the news left a variety of comments such as, “As expected from TVXQ”, “I wonder who earned more money, Psy with Gangnam Style or TVXQ”, “TVXQ’s popularity is amazing,” and “I’m surprised by the surge in popularity for Girls’ Generation and KARA.”
Meanwhile, TVXQ are currently juggling both individual and group activities. Jung Yunho is appearing in the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Queen of Ambition’ while Shim Changmin is showing off his humorous wit in KBS 2TV’s ‘Moonlight Prince’. Not only this, but they are also planning to release their new Japanese album ‘TIME’ on the 6th of March.

Kim Sung Ryeong confessed that it was difficult for her to get along with Jung Yunho (U-Know Yunho) at first.
The episode of SBS’ ‘Good Morning’ that aired on the 4th showed a special segment of the Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Queen of Ambition’.
On this day, Kim Sung Ryeong talked about the first time she met TVXQ’s Jung Yunho, who appears as the actress’ younger brother in the drama.
She said, “He’s a famous idol star, and though he’s my junior, he and I didn’t walk down the same path to become an actor, so I put up a wall between us. But then I realized that doing that wouldn’t help. I opened up to Yunho, and he warmly accepted me, and I’m very grateful for that.”
She continued to add, “He has a lot of passion and he’s such a nice guy. I used to think he was a young star I could never relate to, but I realized that he’s a human being too, just like the rest of us. I’d like him to shine brighter as an actor. Like how there are different levels in the path of a singer, actors get better by gaining experience through the projects they work on. I’d love to see him work his way up the different levels of being an actor and work on good projects.”
Kim Sung Ryeong and Jung Yunho play the role of the daughter and son of BaekHak Group’s Chairman Baek Chang Hak.

Jung Yunho took part in a wire action scene, regardless of the risk of injuries.
For the car accident scene in the episode of SBS’ ‘Queen of Ambition’ that aired on the 22nd of January, Jung Yunho volunteered to take part in the wire action scene himself.
On this day, Baek Do Hoon (Jung Yunho/U-Know Yunho) hears that his ice hockey team was broken up and goes to confront his father Baek Chang Hak (Lee Deok Hwa). Though Baek Do Hoon blocks his father’s car to talk about it, Baek Chang Hak doesn’t listen to him. Baek Do Hoon, who chased after Baek Chang Hak’s car on foot, gets hits by a car and gets his body thrown in the air. Later, Baek Do Hoon hears that he isn’t able to play sports anymore because of his accident.
According to a representative, Jung Yunho volunteered to participate in the wire action scene himself. He stated, “For the car accident scene, Jung Yunho participated in the wire action scene seven times,” and “Though most actors prefer to let a stunt double take over because there is a risk of injury and because wearing the equipment is uncomfortable and painful, Jung Yunho took on the scene himself, showing a passion for acting that befits a rookie actor.”

TVXQ’s Jung Yunho received positive reviews for his first appearance in the SBS drama ‘Queen of Ambition’.
Jung Yunho made his latest appearance, not on stage, but as Baekhak Group’s next-in-line chaebol Baek Do Hoon in SBS’ new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Queen of Ambition’ on the 15th. This will be his first regular appearance in a drama in approximately four years since the 2009 MBC drama ‘Heading to the Ground’.
Baek Do Hoon didn’t seem so different from the other chaebols we’ve seen in other dramas in the past. He is a college student who is also an ice hockey player for his school’s team and has no interest in running the company. After a fateful meeting with the female lead Da Hae (Soo Ae), a romance between the two was foretold as the typical ‘impossible love’ between a rich man and a poor woman was drawn out.
However, Jung Yunho molded himself into Baek Do Hoon’s character with his own unique charm and is planning to grab the hearts of female viewers. his appearance in an ice hockey player’s uniform matched with his boyish looks to give him a daring and masculine image.
The considerate manner in which he acted around the woman of his interest made Jung Yunho’s character shine brighter. In the teaser video for the following episode, Baek Do Hoon was seen asking Da Hae, “Do you have a boyfriend?” and beginning his advances on her.
The viewers’ reaction to Jung Yunho’s first appearance wasn’t negative. Most of the opinions included, “His acting has improved a lot compared to the what it was before”, “Though he’s still awkward at times, I can’t wait to see what Baek Do Hoon will be like,” and “Baek Do Hoon’s appearance helps the fast pace of the storyline.”
The acting activities of idol stars hasn’t always been successful. This is because it can be a ‘dangerous choice’ to appear in a drama based on a pervious image and charm alone, without much preparation or experience though their acting skills may be lacking as a singer.
Amidst the different opinions that surround acting idol stars, there are some who have successfully shown good results within their acting careers. In the case of JYJ’s Park Yoochun, he has appeared in both modern-day and historical dramas such as MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley’ and SBS’ ‘Rooftop Prince’, and has been improving his skills as an actor through various dramas, receiving high praise from viewers.
Jung Yunho has also put much consideration in his decision to return to acting. During the ‘Queen of Ambition’ press conference on the 9th, he stated, “I hope this drama becomes a stepping stone that helps me become more successful as an actor,” and “I’ve worked on the parts I was lacking in, and I hope to show improvement.”
Regarding this, a representative of SM Entertainment stated, “Jung Yunho does have plans made as a singer, but he is working hard to focus his efforts on his acting for now.”
Though he is one of the most popular idol stars in Korea as a member of TVXQ, the title of an ‘actor’ is still unfamiliar to Jung Yunho. But he has the potential to succeed. With ‘Heading to the Ground’ ending with more disappointment than satisfaction, many are curious to see what kind of reviews Jung Yunho will receive as an actor in his second drama ‘Queen of Ambition’

TVXQ will be releasing a new single in Japan and pursuing activities there once again.
The Japanese version of ‘Catch Me -If you wanna’ and ‘I Know’ will be included in TVXQ’s 36th Japanese single.
‘Catch Me’ was the title song of TVXQ’s 6th album, which was released last October as their first Korean album in one year and eight months, and is a new-age dance song that combines electronic sound with an orchestra, as well as dub step and an easy-to-follow melody. The song has already become a hot topic for being chosen as the title song for the FujiTV suspense drama ‘Saki’, which began airing on the 8th.
The second song ‘I Know’ is a melodious ballad that expresses the feelings of a man who swears an eternal love for his beloved, who has already changed her mind. The group plans to entrance their fans with a new kind of charm with ‘I Know’ as it is completely different from the powerful and charismatic title song ‘Catch Me’.
Meanwhile, TVXQ will be starting their Dome Tour on the 27th of April at the Saitama Super Arena, as well as Tokyo Dome, Osaka Kyocera Dome, Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome and Sapporo Dome.

Jung Yunho will appear in the second episode of ‘Queen of Ambition’ as an ice hockey player.
Jung Yunho (U-Know Yunho) will make his first appearance on the second episode of SBS’ Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Queen of Ambition’ that airs on the 15th of January. He plans to show off his boyish charm as the love interest of Soo Ae and as the chaebol Baek Do Hoon.
On this day, Do Hoon will be locked in a competitive ice hockey match with his school’s rival Kyeongshin University as an ice hockey player of Donghwa University’s graduating class. For this scene, Jung Yunho visited the Oulimnuri ice rink in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and filmed for a total of 20 hours from 8am to 4am the next day.
Jung Yunho received much applause for his sharp skating skills that matched his character’s talents. The Kyung Hee University ice hockey team made a special appearance for the scene and were later heard to have been surprised. Jung Yunho appeared on SBS’ ‘I Like Sundays – Kim Yuna’s Kiss&Cry’ in 2011 and took on the challenge of figure skating, and it was said that he has been receiving intensive individual training since he was cast in ‘Queen of Ambition’.
In the photos that the staff released on the 15th, viewers can see Jung Yunho gliding on the ice with his talent and stick work. He is perfectly portraying the passionate and cute charm of his character.
It is said that 1,000 fans from Jung Yunho’s fanclub participated in the filming process. Since it would realistically be impossible to call in 1,000 extras, the staff could have filled the seats with computer graphics, even if it would look awkward. However, Jung Yunho’s fans stepped forward to solve the issue. A total of eight cameras, including the main camera, supporting camera, a body camera and a wire camera, were used to create a lively scene.
Jung Yunho said, “I’m very nervous because this is the first time in a while that I’m appearing in a drama, but I will work hard as a rookie actor. I’m happy to be working with such great seniors.” He also expressed his gratitude for the fans who came to support him, despite the cold weather.
