[Trans] 080318 TVXQ speech character

JAEJOONG

[Speech character]
When Jaejoong speaks, he never limits himself.
In heroine6, he'd mentioned before that he isn't good in talking.
This is the main reason why he didn't become the leader in TVXQ despite being the oldest member.
In private, he's a person who can stop non-stop once started and always use a lot of exaggerated descriptions, therefore, he is definitely a humorous person.
However, in formal occasions, his sense of humor is not suitable, because as an artiste, every word is crucial.
A word can make an artiste successful and can also destroy an artiste.
That is why we never see him speak a lot when they first debut.
This is to maintain his mysterious image and also to secure constant schedules during their early days.
It does spark a lot of questions from public as why Jaejoong isn't the leader because of his age. Until their 3rd album, Jaejoong only reveal his true self.
Then only people understand why he is unsuitable to be the leader of TVXQ.
The biggest attraction in speech is that he speaks straightforwardly, but it's not a relatively good character in the entertainment field.

[Speech style]
Jaejoong is from Kyungkido. The distinguish feature of Kyungkido people is they speak slowly. This doesn't mean that the speed of speech. It is when he speaks; he loves to use a lot of particles (grammar). Therefore, people can’t understand what the main point of his speech when he finishes. This may also be one of the reasons he didn't become TVXQ leader.

YUNHO

[Speech character]
The way Yunho speaks is distinctly different from Jaejoong.
When he speaks, he is well organized and clearly stated whatever message that TVXQ wants to deliver to public.
He speaks in short sentence and goes right to the point.
Besides, people love the way he talks.
This can be proofed during formal occasions where he does the speaking.
He is able to use official language style which is very different from speaking in private.
His art of speaking is the best among 5 of them.
Perhaps the reason is he is from a strict family background.
Most of the people in his family are of lawyers, officers, and political people.
This explains why he is able to handle speech in formal occasions.

[Speech style]
Yunho is from Jeonryeodo. People from this place speak fast, but their pronounciation is not accurate. One distinct pronounciation is "ㄹ". When he speaks really fast, his Jeonryeodo accent will come out occasionally. This is his charisma.

YUCHUN

[Speech character]
Yuchun also speaks really fast, but because he lives in Seoul, his pronounciation is accurate.
He belongs to the humorous category and loves to pop out randomly.
He also loves to have a dig at junsu.
Because junsu has good temper, he'll bully junsu more!!~XD

[Speech style]
Due to his migration to US when he was 10, he uses a lot of loanwords from English when speaking in Korean. He also has a habit of using the American style to express himself. In the Koreans view, when he uses a lot of English words in his speech, they find it ridiculous, however there's a lot of Koreans also admire him because he can pronounce English words accurately.

JUNSU

[Speech character]
Junsu's voice is the feature that gains people's attention.
The Korean language originally doesn't have phonetics, but Junsu speaks richly with tone =.=" When speaking, he loves to drag the words.
TVXQ always make fun of him because of that.
Because he always drags his words and also loves to add a lot of particles & attributives (grammar terms), we can only get his main point when the sun sets ~.~
He also loves sharing cold jokes with the members~ XD
His cold jokes are of professional level.
Even TVXQ members gave up on his joking ability.(omg.rofl!)
He also has a platitude-'jin-jja'(means 'really' in Korean).
If you pay attention to his sentence, he can use jin-jja more than 3 times in a sentence.

[Speech style]
He is from Kyung___do (can't remember), so the pronounciation is quite accurate.

CHANGMIN

[Speech character]
Changmin is the youngest in TVXQ, but he speaks maturely.
He is considered as one of the members who can speak delicately along with Yunho.
He's the eldest son and also the eldest grandson in his family, as well as a father working as a teacher.
Therefore, his parents are really strict with his education.
He knows very well that he's the youngest member; therefore he doesn't speak a lot.
However, this is different from the reason why Jaejoong doesn't speak.
He can speak orderly and with suitable manners.
Therefore, since debut regardless of activities in Japan or Korea, every song is introduced by Changmin.
Besides, he knows how to add emphasis to certain words in a sentence appropriately, so it makes audiences able to know the important points of what TVXQ wants to convey to public.
The reason TVXQ calls Changmin "little adult" is also because of his speech and thoughts.
He also loves to nag other members ^^
He also has a lot of platitudes-'sa-shil.' (means 'actually' in Korean), etc.
It is not really easy to notice his platitudes as he has a habit of emphasizing the main point of the sentences. However, if the platitude appears at the front of the sentence, it will be pretty obvious. (junsu's platitudes usually appear in the middle of the sentence)

[Speech style]
He's also from Seoul, so his pronounciation is perfect.
