TRANSLATIONS
Right now, somewhere, someone is in pain is feeling lonely can’t sleep at night is going through all of these. Until we find the light, let’s get together so that we can sleep. That melody and harmony and love.
For someone’s sake we are here. Although we can only achieve small things, even just for 1 second, we still want to stop all the tears in this world and turn them all into smiles.
Keep loving, and keep walking, we’ve been believing that we will be able to convey these overflowing feelings. Even before we were born, we knew that we would meet, and that we would be searching for our dreams together.
[RAP]
The moment when we are able to compose the sparkling sound, we will be able to forget all the sorrow. Melody and harmony. You are always by our side, giving me courage and hope.
Thank you, thank you forever. These glittering feelings, to you You taught me how to support each other to watch over each other and that I’m not lonely.
The love that was piled up is riding on the melody, I want to continue conveying that love forever and ever.
Starting from here.
Keep loving, and keep walking, we have been believing that we will be able to convey these overflowing feelings. Thank you, thank you forever. These glittering feelings, to you The love that was piled up is riding on the melody, I want to continue conveying that love forever and ever.

[Trans] 090829 GQ September Issue ‘The Real TVXQ Was In Japan’ CRITIQUES
TVXQ sings “I got you~ooo, Under my skin,” and dances. When the buttons on the shirts that cling onto their bodies cannot handle their powerful moves and burst, U-Know Yunho’s well-developed and chiseled pectoral muscles are shown. Fans from all over Korea, who may have had ill feelings towards the long stretch of Japanese activities, act as though the group had never left and stare at their TV and even go up to the TV screen and stroke it. I’m talking about the comeback stage of that happened after the album’s release last December. Fans found something a little odd about TVXQ during this stage. Although the five members’ faces were the same, it was as though their faces had been stuck on someone else’s body. This was because of their ‘muscles’.
TVXQ’s thin and muscular bodies are completely different from SM Entertainment’s preceding idol groups. The direction that the members of TVXQ are headed is being influenced by the Japanese activities they have been carefully and diligently doing. In Japan these days, their is a ‘Hosomacho’ or ‘thin muscle’ trend blazing through the nation. The biggest reason for this trend is because the majority of young Japanese women prefers the thin muscled hosomacho look over the heavily muscled gorimacho (gorilla macho) look.
What am I talking about? There are probably going to be some people who tell me that this trend has been around for a while with the majority of singers in Johnny’s Entertainment and with the majority of males in Tokyo having a thin muscle body structure. But what they are talking more about skinny guys who look as though they have muscles because they are skinny, not the ‘thin muscle’ look. But to think that TVXQ is just one of the many hosomacho groups is a big mistake. This is because the popularity of Tohoshinki, as they call themselves in Japan, is so great and out of this world that it cannot be fully comprehended or understood in Korea.
If we divide the dominating Japanese male idol groups into three categories, the first would be ‘role Lolita’, groups comprised of pretty boys, the second would be ‘Yankees’, groups comprised of members who have a bad boy vibe to them, and the third would be the TVXQ style. The TVXQ style’s popularity can be properly felt in Japan’s host clubs. Koreans may connect the words host or hostess with adult clubs and see these words with a negative outlook, but to many young, handsome and popular college students in Japan, it is the most preferred part-time job.
Different from Korea’s hosts, Japan’s hosts serve only alcohol and there is a different term for those who provide sexual intercourse and they are called ‘Urisen’. In these host clubs that can easily be found in Shinjuku’s Gabukicho area, the pictures of the hosts in the clubs tell women what kind of style each host is. Before, most of the people in the pictures copied the style of Johnny’s Entertainment’s idol groups. But now, at least one or two hosts in every club very conspicuously copies the style of one of the members of TVXQ.
In this area, there was once a time where the most manly people were nabe (a girl dressed up as a guy or a trans gender female). with their thin, pretty bodies. But now many Japanese women are asking for the hosomacho style, men who are not only pretty, but are also manly, and who are not only skinny, but has muscles. The TVXQ wind is blowing through the clubs of Gabukicho.
Since many Korean idol groups are popular not only in Korea but all of Asia, many Koreans may think that TVXQ’s popularity is similar to that of other celebrities. Shall we delve deeper to see just how popular TVXQ is in Japan? TVXQ’s most recent Japanese single sold almost 200K copies in one week. This sets TVXQ with the second highest first week sales in their agency, Japan’s biggest company Avex.
The only group above TVXQ is the 14-member group Exile, the group that received the highest award from the Japanese Record Association and the group that even creates big changes in society with their raging popularity. This means that TVXQ’s first album sales beats that of the female leaders of Japanese pop, ‘Amuro Namie’. ‘Hamasaki Ayumi’ and ‘Koda Kumi’. This is a feat that not even popular star ‘BoA’ has achieved. These are the kind of top singers we can compare TVXQ to now.
But I am not basing their popularity on album sales only. TVXQ has set a huge record of being on Japan’s representative music chart ‘Oricon Chart’ as 1st on weekly single sales six times already. Since the year 2000, the number of stars who have attempted to enter the Japanese market is enormous, with stars such as S.E.S, Sugar, Park Junghyun, Rain, Lee Soo Young, Se7en, SS501, Ryu Siwon, Park Yongha, Lee Byunghun, Yoonha, K, Sunmin, Big Bang and Super Junior.
But the only singers who have reached first on Oricon’s weekly single charts are BoA (once) and TVXQ (six times). TVXQ also succeeded in being invited to hold two concerts in July at the Tokyo Dome which is considered the Dream Stage, even to Japanese singers. This has never been completed by any other Korean singer before.
But the Bible sends a message, “Prophets do not get respect from their homelands.” For some odd reason, TVXQ’s outstanding achievements do not seem to be reported or praised in Korea. Also, it is sad to see that TVXQ’s success of almost selling 200K copies of their single was buried under the dispute between SM Entertainment and three members of TVXQ (Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong) and the disbandment rumors that followed it.
They are not something something ’sama’ (like Yonsama) who were washed ashore by the Hallyu Wave. No, they even asked all Japanese media agencies not to associate the word ‘Hallyu’ with them (even asking for news articles to be pulled down if the word was used in relation to them), to show that they wished to succeed with their own powers and were able to become widely known in Japan. TVXQ had to erase their nationality in order to gain the acceptance from the Japanese population.
The rumors of disbandment at the height of their popularity has become a hot topic of conversation in the Japanese music industry. Japanese media has been created a daily special to update everyone about what’s happening in Korea with regards to TVXQ, and this has caused Avex’s CEO to come forward and give an explanatory statement to clam the Japanese fans. He announced that TVXQ’s Japanese activitees would continue regardless of what was happening in Korea and he decided to announce this himself. This has never happened before.
It seems as though the way Korean agencies set the income division when writing up the contract has surprised the people of Japan who are used to the Japanese agencies’ way of working that gives monthly salaries that may change. Since the first official event TVXQ held after the disbandment rumors came out was in Japan and not Korea, the source of such rumors, with the Fireworks Festival Concert, the Japanese media was more vigilant when it came to reporting the issue than the Korean media.
Therefore, whether they wanted this or not, this case has opened TVXQ up to a wider fan base including the younger generation. YoungWoong Jaejoong, who is the most popular amongst the members in Japan, was even seen in a paparazzi scandal magazine that only extremely famous Japanese celebrities appear in.
Although the situation in Korea is a complete mess, TVXQ might be able to take one step further in their Japanese activities through this happening. But they must once more grab hold of their Korean fans. There are already rumors that the ‘light fanbase’ is ready to embrace the new 6 member male idol group SM Entertainment is preparing.
As faithful as Korean fans are, they are also able to turn their backs on a singer very quickly. If even the fans who used to embrace them turn their backs on TVXQ, the group will become the prophets who are not respected in their homelands.

Additionally, they said, “SME, through the fact that they have bound TVXQ to a 13 year contract that can be classified as a life-contract as that is almost how long the span of a singer’s career is and through an unchanging, slack management system, is violating and damaging the human rights of TVXQ and the value of TVXQ as artistes and as Korea’s youth”

[News] 090828 An Offering Of A Sacrifice To Spirits Done For HTTG
There was an offering of a sacrific to the spirits done for MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Heading to the Ground.’
On the 24th at 2pm, the offering was one at MBC’s Yangju set and actors such as Jung Yunho, Ara, Lee Yunji, Lee Sang-yoon, Kim Jaeseung etc camealong with Director Park Sungsoo and all the staff.
Jung Yunho, who plays the lead role of Cha Bong-goon, prayed for the success of ‘Heading to the Ground’ by saying “Please help this drama be a big hit!” and praying alongside fellow actors Ara, Lee Yunji and Lee Sang-yoon.
Director Park Sungsoo said, “I was touched by the passions of these young actors who threw themselves into everything and anything we asked them to do. I think that the hard work of the actors will be seen in the eyes of our viewers,” and “I directed this drama with a fun and happy heart because the actors and staff always made the set come alive with their jokes and antics.”
Ara, who plays the role of Kang Haebin, said, “Overall, there are a lot of action scenes. Cha Bong-goon (Jung Yunho) especially has a lot of them, but he would rarely use a stunt double and worked hard in all his scenes and that gave all of us strength to work harder,” and “Because the script itself was funny, shooting the drama was fun too.”
Jung Yunho, who plays the lead role of Cha Bong-goon, said, “I’m doing everything for the first time so it took me some time to get comfortable, but all the staff members are excellent and all the actors on set were cheering each other on so I’m expecting this drama to be really good,” and “I still am lacking in some areas but everyone will be able to see me grow more along with Bong-goon each time an episode airs,” and was very modest.
The drama ‘Heading to the Ground’, which is gaining a lot of attention as this is TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho’s debut into acting, will first air on September 9th.

[NEWS] Despite The Crisis, Changmin is Still Concentrating on His Acting Debut
“This first debut, I want to carry it perfectly.”
DBSK member Changmin (21) has been concentrating on acting training for his first challenge drama “Paradise Ranch”. Recently DBSK meets crisis as in lawsuit case related to some of its members. During this lawsuit period, there’s been differences in both group and individual activities of the members, inflicts repeated spur in the drama preparation.
Just few days ago, after finishing a performance in Japan, Changmin returned home and when there isn’t any official activity, he’s fully absorbed to the debut drama training.
From Changmin’s assistant, “The series of recent crisis creates burdensome to him mentally, is true. But as acting has been his long dreamed challenge, makes a great motivation to him afterall. From now on, he’s going to be busy traveling back and forth between Korea and Japan. Even from his recent departure (in Korea) few days ago, he already portrayed an excitement about the drama preparation.”
“Paradise Ranch” is a co-production drama between SM Entertainment and Samhwa Networks and they have goal to broadcast the drama at the end of this year. A delightful story of romance is blended by beautiful music will show the fresh youth romantic acting of Changmin. The drama will enter its first shooting early next month
It's no surprise to hear of this outcome but perhaps they were just delaying the announcement to cushion the blow.
TVXQ will be suspending their group activities pretty soon after completing all their planned schedules. This is largely due to the lawsuit filed by JaeJoong, YooChun and Junsu against SM Entertainment for their slavery contract to be amended.
As spoke in the aftermath of the lawsuit, TVXQ will complete their planned schedules before the lawsuit was filed which will end on 29th August. Beyond that, TVXQ will be taking a "vacation", with regards to group activities, although solo activities will continue.
There are still two live performances for fans to catch TVXQ together as a group before their vacation, the first being A-Nation in Osaka, Japan and their Shanghai concert.
The court has already heard both sides of the story from SM Entertainment and the TVXQ trio (JaeJoong, YooChun and Junsu) earlier. Although the court has advised both parties to sit down and settle their differences, it's kind of unlikely that a solution would be reached at this juncture. The ruling of the case will be decided on 11th September, where fans all over the world would be glued to their computers, hoping that TVXQ will still exist as a group.
Yunho/U-Know has been busy filming the drama Heading to the Ground, which requires him to do some stunt work in addition to acting and looking hot on screen.
For one particular stunt scene, two mattresses were placed at the bottom of a pool of water. Yunho was then asked to throw himself into the water, a scene that took five hours (as a well as a toll on his body) to film. The cast and crew members on set were impressed with Yunho's first attempt at a stunt act. He showed a lot of enthusiasm for the stunt production despite the intense work it took to film those scenes. Teasers for Heading to the Ground were recently released. The drama is scheduled to start airing on September 9th. credit: allkpop shared by: dbholic.blogspot
TVXQ Special Album 「Always keep the faith」Released!
“The five members of TVXQ return for the first time after overcoming the hardships they faced! They started off with a bang with a special album full of songs composed by the members themselves. This album can be reveiwed as an album full of love for their fans who have believed in and waited for them.” Reviewer – DNBN SangsangYaechan
Album Name: Always Keep the Faith Artist: TVXQ Album Type: Domestic/Studio Agency: Cassiopeia Ent. Stars: Five stars (10 out of 10│ there are 1226 reviews)
01. Intro │*Composed/Written/Arranged by: YoungWoong Jaejoong As the opener of TVXQ’s magnificent comeback, the strong beat in this song is noteworthy. YoungWoong Jaejoong takes on a genre never been taken by him, and the result is a big success.
02. Always keep the Faith│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: TVXQ The title song which all five members composed/wrote/arranged together. The warm melody is beutiful. One should listen to the lyrics closely when listening to this song as they talk of their stories of overcoming hardships. The lyrics also tell of the heart-wrenching tales of what pulled them through. 03. It’s business [Narr. Ara]│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: U-Know Yunho U-Know Yunho says he wrote this song for the fans who are spending their nights alone, envying the female lead role in his upcoming drama. The song has a warm melody that envelops the hearts of the fans. Actress Ara, who will be in charge of the narration of this song, gave an alibi (?) saying, “A drama is strictly business, nothing more, nothing less.”
04. XIAHmolTIC (You can’t Escape it)│*Written by: Choikang Changmin Composed/Arranged by: Micky Yoochun The melody is extremely addictive, and it is a trendy hook song. Composer Micky Yoochun, said the song was, “A song that, once you listen to it, you can’t get out of your head and makes you addicted to Xiahmori.” Regarding the lyrics of the song, which have caused ‘Xiah Junsu Loner’ rumors to spread, Choikang Changmin said, “The lyrics have a basis on our love for Junsu. The people who have been watching over us know all about it.”
05. Lies (A Song dedicated to SM)│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: Cassiopeia TVXQ’s talented fanclub Cassiopeia’s present to them. The lyrics metaphorically talk of the fans’ annoyance at SM’s ‘lies’. Words cannot describe it, one must listen to it for oneself. Even people who weren’t at all interested will become furious after listening to this song.
06. Red Hot Pepper ~Jollokia~│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: YoungWoong Jaejoong YoungWoong Jaejoong is well known for his love for all foods spicy. So it is easy to misinterpret the contents of this song just by looking at the title. However, this song is actually a controversial song that make girls blush just by listening to the sound ‘Ring ring’. In truth, this is a song that exceeds the sexiness of ‘Ride On’. It is about a man who has fallen in love with a ‘hot’ girl. YoungWoong Jaejoong has once more deprived the fans of sleep by saying, “I’ve already thought of the choreography for the concert.”
07. Charisma Life (Stuck on me)│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: Xiah Junsu This is a song written by member Xiah Junsu who says (claims) he is in charge of charisma in the group. This song is a must for people who can only imagine him as cute. You might not be able to escape the charismatic wrinklies between his brows. On the other hand, there was a rumor that Choikang Changmin refused to record this song because he did not like the lyrics, but quickly conceded when Xiah Junsu offered him some game items.
08. A Farewell in November – Flip-flops Bye Flip-flops│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: Micky Yoochun Mikcy Yoochun, who received a lot of attention when he revealed on a Japanese show that he “tried to wear flip-flops till November”, wrote this song with his unique melancholy feelings to represent his feelings when he could no longer wear flip-flops. This song is a ballad that tells of his promise to his flip-flops that he will see them the year after as he puts them back in his closet.
09. Bolero (Korean Ver.)│*Written by: Choikang Changmin The song ‘Bolero’, that has been dubbed by fans as the ‘not mythical, but legendary live’, has been reborn into a Korean version. Choikang Changmin, who received much praise from his work with ‘Love in the Ice’, once more rewrote the lyrics in Korean. The five members brilliant harmony that is finally heard in Korean shows just how different they are from other idols in terms of skill.
10. To my lovely fans…│*Composed/Written/Arranged by: TVXQ This is a warm fan song for the fans who waited for and believed in them. When listening to this song that is filled with their love for their fans, the fans will come to believe that becoming a fan of TVXQ was the best thing they’ve ever done, and people who weren’t fans will end up reconsidering their current state.
11. Always keep the faith [less vocal ver.]
“Although they had to overcome a big hardship, TVXQ came back with that much more maturity. There is no one to stop them now that they’ve bounced back, and there will be one to surpass them now. All fans have to do now, is prepare to enjoy their time with these five. Are you ready?”
Until this NR becomes reality. Always keep the Faith. [DNBN Sangsangyechan]

[News] SM x DBSK Lawsuit: “Will The Evidences Application be Accepted?”
As had been reported, besides the provisional disposition to terminate exclusive contract effect, 3 members of DBSK namely Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu also submitted Preservation of Evidence request so that they could calculate the exact amount of their income.
However, in the first hearing held on last August 21st, SM responded regarding the Preservation of Evidence request, “This immediate appeal for Preservation of Evidence can’t be executed.” SM expressed disapproval regarding the submission request. The company explained that DBSK income receipts along with other documents and materials needed for this settlement is company’s trade secret. And if they’re to be exposed to the media, it can lead to fatal effect.
Regarding the problem, the court described an “in camera” system to invalidate SM’s claim of a fatal risk. The “in camera” system is the process in which the viewers of the evidences are to selected/limited number of people only. Because of this, DBSK’s payment issue can be resolved and the current conflict can be raised.
SM officials therefore approved the DBSK’s ‘Preservation of Evidences application’ and the submission deadline is tomorrow, August 26th.
The court judgment whether SM’s application is received as valid evidences or not is to be determined on Friday, August 28th.
Meanwhile, on the same day (August 28th), DBSK fanclub Cassiopeia is showing support to their idol by submitting petition which is signed by approximately 121,073 people at 1:30 p.m to National Human Rights Commission. “DBSK members have been victims of serious human rights violation and now are seeking way to escape from it. We asked the help from National Human Rights Commission to give human rights protection for DBSK members through their court hearing.”
On last August 20th, Cassiopeia had already submitted their petition which was already signed on-line by 120,000 people from August 12th to 18th (six days) to Seoul Central District Court to support the terminate of unfair contract.
At the site of “Heading to the Ground” shooting, U-Know Yunho’s fans without fail always appear and sincerely bring foods for everyone to eat during breaks and also midnight snack for night time shoots.
During long night time shooting, the fans prepare drink and lots of vitamins that will cure the fatigue for the entire staff. Especially in hot weather and late night shooting, they even prepared 120 servings of ’samgaetang’ (T/N: chicken broth with ginseng, usually is eaten by the Koreans during summer to fight the heat) for the lead actors and 112 crews who accept them enthusiastically.
The “Heading to The Ground” crew mentioned, “We have never experienced something like this before so we’re a bit perplexed of what’s going on, but now we feel very grateful toward the fans.” showing the thankfulness.
Don't know when the pictures are taken though, but by judging Junsu's hairstyle, it's probably long before the a-nation started? kind of a month ago?
Yeongpil is yoochun's friend..
anyway, Junsu looks freaking HHOOOTTT!!!!

During this hearing, SME's lawyer stated, "In the case of the three members of TVXQ, they don't have any dissatisfied feelings towards this lawsuit as it got them out of concerts and advertisements that they did not want to participate in," and "But in the case of SME, they had to pay compensation for said canceled events and future scheduled events with 8 billion Won to pay domestically and 15 billion Won to pay if overseas activities are calculated. Not only will SME suffer monetary loss, the image of SME has also been hit because of this trial."
SME's lawyer stated that the focus of this lawsuit was not the period of the exclusive contract or the unfair income division, but the cosmetic company that the three members were involved with. He explained that the only two reasons SME asked the three members not to participate in such a venture were because such a venture went against their exclusive contract and because the venture could hit TVXQ's image in a negative way.
SME's lawyer also said, "In reference to the length of their exclusive contract, the special quality of the entertainment business needs to be considered," and "Even in the recommended exclusive contract guidelines released recently, there are exceptions when it comes to singers."
He also said, "The three members claim that they never were told of exactly how much they earned but SME revealed this amount to the members every six months and the members even signed these income documents."
On a side note, the three members of TVXQ filed for an Exclusive Contract Validity Suspension and Provisional Disposition Request against their agency SM Entertainment on July 31st. They also filed for a Preservation of Evidence request to be able to calculate the exact amount of TVXQ's income.
The three members asked for a cancellation of their contract due to the unlawful clauses in said contract but SM Entertainment stated that the three members were filing this lawsuit because of the cosmetic company they were associated with; both sides show no signs of backing down. TVXQ's leader U-Know Yunho and youngest leader Choikang Changmin did not participate in this lawsuit.

[News] Japan Singers Fumiya Fujii Praised Tohoshinki
Japan singer and the lead vocal of popular group Checkers, Fumiya Fujii praised performance of Tohoshinki.
On last August 20th at musical event held in Tokyo Odaiba: “BOY POP FACTORY 09″, Micky Yoochun and Hero Jaejoong’s duet performance on stage led Fumiya to wrote about the memory of him meeting the two Tohoshinki members in his diary blog on the next day, August 21st.
“The atmosphere of the venue was heated up, two Tohoshinki members performed in one color creating big stage. No wonder the tickets went up high at the auction sales site to ¥ 200,000.” he started the introduction. “But I think the visitors there would feel a little awkward with the wide hot response by Tohoshinki fans, yet they’re really creating a good excitement atmosphere.”
“From two members of Tohoshinki I received CD and also handshake. Yatta! Yatta! It’s a rare chance to meet them.” he continued, “I feel the great charm and they’re really someone whom you want to meet. Tohoshinki is getting more and more popular these days. They’re good looking, having great songs, and also good in dance.”
At the Boy Pop Factory event, Tohoshinki’s Jaejoong and Yoochun sang 4 duet songs.
[News] Xiah Junsu Fanclub’s Critism Over SM’s “Payment in Advance” Statement
SM lawyer statement at the first court hearing on August 21st which was revealing that DBSK’s Xiah Junsu had received 45 million won which was believed to be his money source to file the current outstanding lawsuit against SM seemed to fire up the whole DBSK fans especially Xiah Junsu personal fancafe.
SM stated at the court, “Xiah Junsu received 45 million Won in advanced payment on July 15th,” and “Seeing as this was done one month before the trial, it is hard to see that this action has nothing to do with the lawsuit.”
At Xiah Junsu fanclub homepage on the 22th was published article condemning SM for releasing statement that is considered as character attack towards Junsu.
In the article written by the fans, “At the hearing of injunction application case to stop exclusive contract effect, SM said at the court that on July 15th Junsu had received in advance 45 million won from SM. This argument statement was then released publicly through media.” and “However, at the end SM also mentioned so-called sentiment, ‘SM has infinite affection towards DBSK and is seeking a long-term plan and vision to debut DBSK in Hollywood’. Such media-play statements are definitely abominable.”
DBSK lawyer later on clarified that the money was received to settle Junsu’s income tax. “The money was probably to settle his account for income taxes. Ever since DBSK debuted in 2004, SM has been in charge of all tax payments such as the composite income tax regarding DBSK’s income. The composite income tax is settled depending on how much the group earns for the first half of each year and was given to the members to pay in the form of advanced payments.”
Xiah Junsu fanclub explained the reason of their curse to SM for the company’s previous statement. “Because SM’s statement, now the media circulating around have ‘Junsu had received 45 million won from SM” as their headlines, and that’s a serious attack to Junsu’s image. It seems that SM wants people to think that Junsu is somekind person who is crazy and has no self-control over money thus even dare to ask for advance payment before he filed lawsuit against his own agency.”
The fanclub continued, “Xiah Junsu is now known in all over Asia to represent the country. And such accusation will obliterate his well-built image in public.”
“We, as members of Junsu fanclub from all over will never tolerate if due to preservation of company profit, SM breaks the law by insulting individual character of the members.” the fanclub ended.
[News] ‘Heading To The Ground’ Jung Yunho, Shows His Passion For Acting, Barefoot
Jung Yunho plays Cha Bong-goon, a man who has amazing shooting skills but suffers because of his rash personality.
Pulling a snack stall barefoot!
Jung Yunho, who plays Cha Bong-goon in MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Heading to the Ground’ (Script by Kim Solji, Kim Yaeri, Directed by Park Sungsoo), was seen pulling a snack stall in the rain barefoot and has been gaining a lot of attention for this.
He has already garnered a lot of attention for being cast in his first drama as TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho, but then gained more attention from the media when U-Know Yuno decided to work under his real name, Jung Yunho, for the drama.
In the still cut that was revealed, there are no traces of the U-Know Yunho everyone is used to with his charismatic stage presence. The sight of him completely drenched in rain makes him look exactly like a pitiful snack stall owner. In ‘Heading to the Ground’, Jung Yunho plays Cha Bong-goon, a youth with the spirit of a wild horse who has amazing shooting skills but suffers because of his rash personality, and holds onto life like a weed while overcoming near-death experiences multiple times. Because of this, Bong-goon walks the path of hardships and those everything from working part-time at a fried chicken store to running his own chicken skewer snack stall. He also give Haebin (Ara) his sneakers when her heel on her shoe breaks resulting in him running through the rain barefoot.
Jung Yunho, who has already worn a thick chicken suit in the middle of summer, has also had to pull a snack stall barefoot while evading the police. Even though the shooting was physically demanding, he never lost his smile and made everyone laugh on set. Although his feet were swollen from the continuous soccer practice he went through for the past couple of days, he had to run on the road barefoot and he did not complain about it. It seems as though this suffering of his feet is going to continue for a while.
PD Park Sungsoo who is directing this drama said, “If it weren’t for the fans who come to visit him, I wouldn’t have guessed that this was TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho. I didn’t know he’d work this hard,” and praised Jung Yunho very highly.

[Trans] 090820 Fans’ Comments of Jejung & Yuchon from TVXQ at Boy Pop Factory 09
Jejung and Yuchun sang four songs at the Boy Pop Factory:
1. Been So Long (originally by m-flo) 2. Begin (with Sakazaki Konosuke) 3. Rainy Blue (originally by Hideaki Tokunaga) 4. COLORS ～Melody and Harmony～
and here’s the compilation of comments from Bigeast who came to the event on August 20th
I especially loved “Rainy Blue.” This song is really nice and the beautiful voice of Jejung matches the song so well. On top of that, the very sexy voice of Yuchun matches the sweet voice of Jejung. I was not their fan until today, but as of now, I am a fan of TVXQ! (by Yoshi)
Jejung said that he goes to the karaoke with Keita (w-inds’ main vocalist). As always, Jejung was so cute when he talks, but when he rolled up his sleeves, his masculine arm was seen!
Everyone surely would fall in love with him. I sure did! (by Rika)
When I saw them together, I started to cry… They look so handsome together and I was too happy!
When Jejung sang the part of m-flo’s song, I almost died as it was too cool! And, Yuchun’s rap is just so amazing! Wow! If they release an album, I surely will buy it!
When they started to sing, “COLORS ～Melody and Harmony～” All kinds of thoughts were in our minds and there were many of us in tears.
When they were asked what kind of hairstyle they like with the ladies, Jejung talked about the ladies’ hands, lol. Yuchyn said that his ideal height for women is between 160-165… I am 162, but then do I have any hope here? Oh well, anyhow, cheer up, me! Hahaha!
Yuchun played the tambourine when all participants sang “I Wish to be the Wind” at the end of the show; Yuchun then placed it on top of his head, started to balance it and began walking around.
Kya~~~~~! TOOOO~~~ CUTE~~~~~~~~!!!!!
And Jejung was playing maracas which was also too cute!
a-nation follows after this! Everyone ready? OK~~~~~~!!? (by Natsu)
