[TRANS] Can TVXQ Save the Music Industry?

CREDIT PROPERLY IF TAKING OUT.

Their fourth album has broken 20K sales.
TVXQ's fourth album "Mirotic" has sold over 20K copies after only two weeks of release, and on the 13th their total sales amounted to 208345 copies.
These two years, artists such as Big Bang (sold 132000 copies), Brown Eyed Girls (112000) copies, etc. have been under the curse of "not being able to sell more than 150,000 copies."
Each year, TVXQ's sales rankings are higher than before. According to charts, their first single in 2004 "Miduhyo," sold 242580 copies, ranking eighth.
Their second album, "Rising Sun,' sold 222472 copies in 2005, ranking fourth, and their third album "O. Jung. Ban. Hap" in 2006 sold 349317 copies, ranking first.
TVXQ's third album sold the most copies within Korea in 2006.
Everyone is anticipating their fourth album to outsell the third album and reach a sales mark of 35K, as they have broken the 20K mark in just two weeks.
Where does TVXQ's sales power come from?
First, fans want to collect the CDs, and they are the biggest source.
According to SM's calculations, TVXQ's official fanclub has 800,000 members.

[Trans] TVXQ's Confessions on MC Mong's Station

2008-10-08 TVXQ's Confessions on MC Mong's Station


Junsu: First, Yoochun is my only friend in TVXQ (not a hyung or dongsaeng). Time has flown by, and it's already been six years. We've walked together until now, and have become closer than friends; we're more like family. We've walked this road as brothers until now, and I'm able to be here today because of Yoochun; we're always there for each other. He's very reliable. I have more confidence in the future that we'll look even more charismatic onstage. We'll work even harder, and I hope we'll have even more amazing performances together. I love you, Yoochun!

Yoochun: About Jaejoong hyung...Although it's much the same with the other members, I feel like I rely on Jaejoong hyung the most. The other members don't really drink, so when we're really worn out, Jaejoong's always drunk with me, talked with me, and given me a lot of support. Thank you. You...are the kind of person I will always want to have you by my side in the future.

Jaejoong: Yunho, is my friend! When I'm exhausted and powerless, he has the strength that I don't have. Yesterday...at dawn yesterday Yunho gave me some support too. I'm happy with our 5 members' current situations, and because of this happiness, I always think: as time goes by, will this happiness disappear? Suddenly I feel unsettled. Maybe it's because autumn is coming. Yunho is different from me; he always looks towards the positive sides. He's always been like this, and I hope in the future he'll still be there to support me. He's really the best leader. Thank you!

Yunho: Our eldest and our youngest, Changmin. Honestly, although we all fight and get impatient, your thoughts are always the deepest. You know what your hyungs need, and to me, you're a best friend. When I'm going through hard times, you're always there to give me advice. Because you're my dongsaeng, you can't say too much to me. Instead, we have a lot of small talks. Although you're our youngest, you're also our friend. A lot of the time, it's hard to say thank you because I'm your hyung. Sitting here today, however, I want to say thank you. Thank you Changmin ah, thank you.

Changmin: Junsu hyung is blood type B, just like me. People around us always say things like this. Whether it be me or the other members, or people around us, everyone is always saying, "If only I could have a child like Junsu," or "If only I could meet a guy like Junsu." Being with the people around you gives off a very comfortable vibe. It doesn't matter if you make an understandable or non-sensical joke, it always gives people very relaxed feelings. Because of this, you've given us a lot of comfort, and a lot of courage. Also...whether you mean to or not, you give us a lot of support, and you're a part of TVXQ that we can't be without. There's many things I'm sorry for, and also many things I'm thankful for. I want to take this chance to say thank you. I love you.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



He ripped his pants while performing @ SBS Inkigayo special Comeback

DBSK, who is preparing for a comeback after a year and seven months of hiatus, has experienced an accident of a member’s pants ripping during the pre-recording of Inkigayo.

DBSK will be making the comeback on the 28th, on SBS’s Inkigayo. They will be performing a total of three songs; title song, “Mirotic”, as well as “Hey!” and “Love in the Ice”.

However, around 2 PM today, the team’s leader U-know Yunho had ripped his pants around the thigh area, due to the intense dance moves for HEY, resulting in the half of the recording. It took around 20 minutes to fix the outfit.

After the pre-recording, Yunho met with a journalist, and laughed, “I guess our songs going to be a great hit! Although my pants ripped; I’m glad we could finish the performance successfully!” He also added, “I think my pants ripped because I wanted to try very hard; this indicates we’ll be a hit! We’ll show all our efforts in the future as well.”

Not only that, while singing Love in the Ice; a metal bar almost fell off, almost causing a dangerous incident.

[Trans] DBSK Members Sick During Inkigayo Comeback Recording T^T

DBSG will be making their comeback on SBS Inkigayo, on the 28th.
Today, DBSG visited the studio at 10 in the morning, and had three pre-recordings.
Despite the severe flu, all the members had; they were able to perform very powerful performances very well.

Right after the recording, Jaejoong told the journliasts that, "I was very nervous since it was our first performance,
But I'm glad we finished it well! Plus, all the members have the flu, so our conditions were not the best, but I'm glad
things went smooth!"

Due to living together, Jaejoong had spread his flu to all the the other members.

He admitted, "Honestly, I was the one who spread the flu. I'm extremely sorry towards the members,
We really wanted to show a perfect performance, but I'm quite regretful, since we couldn't."

He also added, "Thankfully, we finished the recording, without any big mistakes.
We had IVs, and took all our medicine, but I guess the flu must be really severe.
We hope to get better quickly, and perform well."

Especially, "We came to Korea after such a long time, and hearing the fans was very touching.
Next time, I hope people say we did our best with passion, instead of how we did our best with a cold."

[Trans] 2008-09-20 A Fan's Midnight UFO Chat With Yoochun

2008-09-10 Korea Time 4 AM

(4:08 AM) Fan: I fell asleep while studying, but surprisingly I dreamed of Oppas! Oppas were right next to me, and I was so nervous I couldn't speak right! T___T

(4:12 AM) Yoochun: Fell asleep while studying? How did you fall asleep so easily? ^^ I'll leave you this message now. Study hard!

(4:14 AM) Fan: Yes, just for a while. ;;; I fell asleep while studying history (it's like..society study, so I'm guessing it's history?).

(4:16 AM) Yoochun: Hahaha ^^. Okay, I believe you! ^^

(4:18 AM) Fan: Because of oppas whenever I wake up I'm always crying! Cassiopeias all feel like this after they receive oppas replies! I like oppa the best!

(4:20 AM) Yoochun: Like me best?

(4:22 AM) Fan: When I was still in elementary school, I especially liked oppa, and eventually I became a Cassiopeia. Ah~ I'm so nervous right now!

(4:24 AM) Yoochun: ^^ Don't be nervous~

(4:27 AM) Fan: Is this...really oppa? My tears won't stop..This is my first time receiving a reply. And I received a reply from the person I wanted the most! Ahh...

(4:37 AM) Fan: How come you aren't replying...It's a shame, but no matter what, I will wait for the day you guys come back! I will support you guys as best as I can! <3 color="#333399">Yoochun: Okay okay! Goodnight! ^^

(4:42 AM) Fan: Thank you so much for today! T___T I don't know when I'll send you a UFO message again...If oppa is tired, you should sleep too!

(4:45 AM) Yoochun: Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you! ^^

[TRANS] TVXQ 4th Album!! ^^

Q1 Condition of TVXQ
All: Hello, we're TVXQ!
CM: Yes, we recently were prepareing for our 4th album, and we also were active in Japan simultaneously. And recently, there has been a concert with our SM family, with SM Town, right?
YC: Right.
CM: It was a place where all the SM members performed together, something I dreamed of; with our juniors, and with BOA senior. It was very meaningful and fun!
JS: Yes, it was great.

Q2 Introduction of the 4th Album
YH: Yes, this album is a very special album to us.
JJ: Of course, we have come back after one year and seven months! We're actually releasing an album after such a long time, and the title of the album is "Mirotic". Yes, and firstly, Mirotic is a new word! Just like the two chinese characters, it means 'maze', and -tic. -Tic is an english word, which you put after a an adjective. So you can say that it's a fusion between chinese characters and english. So it's a new word!
YH: Does it mean that this album is an album you can't escape from?
JJ: Yes, it does.
JS: It means it's that type of album, with that type of song.
JJ: Yep, you can't come out of my spell. I feel as if the album connects with our song called "Joomun (Mirotic)", and if you listen and listen again to our album, you probably can't stop. (YC:Attractive album). As much as it took us to prepare for this album, it is filled with very solid songs as well, so please listen to it.

Q3 Introduction of the Title Song "Mirotic"
JJ: And our title track!
YH: Our title track is "Mirotic," and, I mean can't you just feel something by just the title?
JJ: It's a spell!
YH: Yes, it's a spell!
JS: Please order the album (Joomon in korean means both spell and to order!)
JJ: A while back, there was an Internet article called "We take orders for TVXQ," I was so shocked! Look at their type of sense.
YH: Our title song, Mirotic, is a dance song composed of a reverse beat. It is a song with a very sophisticated yet cold touch to it. I think that the chorus, especially, is very charming. You fall for me, you go crazy for me, you're my slave, and so on. It's basically about us, putting on a spell onto one woman. A thing like 'you can't leave me'.
JS: It's the apperance of a very confident man.
YH: Yes, a very positive man.

Q4 An episode you remember the most during the prepare of the album
YH: During the time of a year and 7 months, there were numerous episodes while we tried out best to produce this album.
YC: There were more than many! Firstly, while we were filming the music video of Mirotic; during Changmin's solo scence, it was very late, and everybody was tired. Well, Changmin was under water, in a water tank, and he dived and swam around BUT that tank ended up breaking!
JS: What broke?
YC: Don't you not know? The tank!
JS: Huh? It broke?
YC: HAHAHAHA
JS: Ah! Right it did break!
YC: You know right? (JS: Yes, yes, yes!) Well, the tank broke, and so it took more time than we expected, and plus, Changmin had a cold!
JS: I felt bad for him, while I was watching him film his part.
YH: What I remember the most is during our photoshoot; even though the music video was filmed excitingly! There were slightly some scenes where we showed some skin, right?
JJ: Yes there was.
YH: So I remember how the five of us excerized
JJ: We really tried our best
JS: Really tried our best!

Q5 Future Plans in Korea
JS: We're back after a year and seven months, finally, and releasing an album. We put a lot of effort in it, since it's our fourth album, and we tried our best to produce and prepare for it. We'll be greeting you with an awesome performance, awesome live, and awesome dance with Mirotic, so please look forward to it. We really want to be active until the end of 2008 in Korea, so please help us, and support us!

JS: It was TVXQ until now! Thank you!

[Trans] TVXQ Exclusive Interview: Fourth Album Surprises

Reporter ®: The latter half of 2008 will be dedicated to your fourth album. The cover picture has already been released; how do the members feel about the picture?

Jaejoong: Actually, revealing the cover picture now is good, and so are the videos. These are only very small portions of what is to come. When the time comes for the official release of the fourth album, we will show fans many things they've never seen before. We hope people will keep supporting us. Please anticipate it!

R: Do you think there are any special differences between Chinese and Korean fans?

Yunho: First of all, there is the language difference. (Laughs)

Junsu: The most unique aspect of Chinese fans is their lightboards. From the "TVXQ" lightboards to individual member name lightboards, the impression is good.

R: TVXQ's performances always have a lot of dance steps. It's raining today; are you guys worried that it will affect your performance? And there will be many fans attending, so do you guys have any words of caution for your fans?

Yunho: We're actually pretty worried that the rain will affect the outcome of our performance. But we can't stop the rain, and if you think about it another way, we can make some very special memories with our fans, being in the rain with them.

Junsu: With our clothes wet, maybe the effect will be even better!

Yunho: And, everyone! Don't catch a cold by standing in the rain! Safety is always first. Don't slip and fall!

R: Do you feel anything different coming to China this time?

Yunho: Last time we came to China for a TVXQ concert, but this time, we're here not as TVXQ, but as "SMTOWN." The feeling is really good.

TVXQ: TVXQ fighting! Sohu, fighting!

R (after thoughts): If I'm not mistaken, this is Sohu's first interview with TVXQ in two years! I was also able to see them from this close of a distance in 2004, and if we talk about differences, over four years, a group of cute boys have grown into charismatic men! After the interview, the media asked TVXQ to switch poses for pictures, and they went back to their humorous personalities, making new hand gestures and laughing at the same time.

[Translation] OK! Magazine Interview

OK! Magazine Interview [Translation]


Q: Is it true that there will be a special clip where TVXQ speak Thai provided with the photo book?
Micky: That’s a secret. We can’t say anything now (laughs).

Q: Micky, as you used to live in USA, any suggestions for members while staying there?
Micky: I used to live on the East Coast but we had our photo book shooting on the West Coast where I wasn’t quite familiar with. Anyway, all of us are normally interested in different cultures … so I just told them a bit.

Q: So you might gain some advantages since you are familiar and know well about USA?
Micky: Maybe it’s English communication because I was the only one who could order food at McDonald’s (smile).
Xiah: We must try to have eye contact with Micky so he could bring us food (everyone laughs).

Q: Have your point of views about USA changed after the photo book shooting?
Xiah: Umm … (thinking) …
U-Know: (Answers faster than Xiah and makes Micky laugh) We have seen the greatness of Grand Canyon in books and magazines before but it was extremely amazing, spacious & beautiful to see it with your own eyes. Even though the weather was very hot, I was so amazed by the natural beauty that I didn’t feel it at all.

Q: Any places that are impressive?
Micky: It’s a gas station near Route 66 Road where there was a dog called “Max”, yeah the same “Max” (point at Max), so we kind of familiar with this dog at the first sight (show cunning smile).
Hero: If we had anything we didn’t dare to tell Max, we would tell that dog (Micky happily agrees!).
Xiah: Or when we wanted to do something we couldn’t do to Max, we would do to that dog instead (everyone laughs).

Q: Oh … poor dog! Max, how do you feel about it?
Max: (With worried expression) I feel a bit proud!

Q: Do you know what they told that dog?
Max: No, I didn’t listen and I don’t want to know.
Micky: Good that he didn’t hear anything (laugh).

{Trans + pic} KERA Magazine - Jaejoong's Solo Interview (April 2008)


Do the best in all 17 performances



Interviewer: From February until March, singles featuring each member were released and the last one is JaeJoong’s ‘Keyword/Maze’, right?



JaeJoong: This is the very first time we done it one by one like this. Each with the genre we like, like Yunho’s genre is hiphop.



I: Then, JaeJoong’s genre ‘Rock’?



JJ: Yes, I like ‘Rock’. When I was in high school, I did vocal for the members. When being asked what my wish is, I answered, “I wanna try something Rock”.



I: Even in fashion, among the members, JaeJoong is being thought as the rock type also, right? And you even sing with husky voice, song with heavy beat, so cool!



JJ: I like tight (tight-fit) clothes. This time, it seems that TVXQ are able to receive this genre well, that’s really great.



I: Coupling song, ‘Thousand years love song’ is the theme song for the drama ‘The Legend (太王四神記) where Bae YongJun stars inside, right?



JJ: Yes, this is also a new taste of a song. We want to challenge different ‘taste’ of songs like this while hoping to let everybody listen to different types of our songs.



I: Well, I think by the time this book is being published, the Arena tour concert will be in second half already. The size of the concert ground is smaller than in Korea, so you guys already get used to it already, right?



JJ: The size is almost the same but we didn’t do as long (as in Japan). This time, there are 17 performances to do in Japan. I’m happy. I’ll do my best.

Changmin: Yes, because their security system is very strict.


Q: Then what countries are you able to be close to fans?

Yunho: Korea and Indonesia.

Yoochun: In Thailand as well, in Vietnam we also played games.

Junsu: Hmm, but I still wonder...


Q: What about?

Junsu: How am I a fashion-trend for "Geng-Fashion" (As in a man with female heart, a man with more feminine sides).

Yoochun: Hahaha~ when you speak you say words that girls use~!

Changmin: Hyung, stop it.

Jaejoong: When we're in Thailand and Malaysia, I'd see we can get pretty close to fans.

Yunho: Yes, even though we always have bodyguards but we still see fans.

Changmin: Meet&Greet in Thailand we got to shake hands as well ^^.

Yunho: In Malaysia also, fans there are very nice.

Yoochun: Anyways, we have to thank you so much.

Jaejoong: At last we're back in Korea.


Q: How long have you been away from Korea?

Yunho: About a week.

Junsu: Just then, at the airport, there were so many people!

Jaejoong: Yes, so many people. They came to greet us ^^.

Yoochun: So touched.

Changmin: I heard staffs said they came to wait for us since dawn and by the time we got here it's noon.

Yunho: Thank you everyone.


Q: Talk about fanclub... has there been any weird approach?

Yoochun: Weird? Like Junsu, is he weird?

Yunho: Why do you say that?

Yunho: Weird, I think in Indonesia. We were greeting fans when suddenly a fanclub told me to take off my glasses because she wants to look at me in the eye.

Jaejoong: And so Yunho took off his glasses and looked at her in the eye.

Changmin: At first I though hyung wouldn't take it off, but he did.


Q: After that, what happened?

Yunho: I feel wavered/shaken

Changmin: Of course you did. Guards have to pull you off from there because fans pushed the fence until it was nearly broke!


Q: Who cares most for the fanclub?

Junsu: I think Jaejoong-Hyung. He really cares for the fans, even though guards told him not to, he'll secretly walk over to fans and wave.

Yoochun: When we were in Japan, we weren't allowed to get close to fans, and so something eventually happened....


Q: What happened??!

Yunho: It's Jaejoong! He went to greet the fans and shake hands until the fence between him and the fans collapsed!! (O.O!)

Changmin: I was actually watching as the fence collapse. And fans all gathered around Hyung. Think about it, hundreds of fans all gathered in crowds around Hyung alone.

He disappeared in the crowd of fans.

Yoochun: Guards quickly ran to pull Jaejoong off from there and so he got scolded a bit.

Jaejoong: Was I wrong? I've been to Japan for like 2 days already and I still hadn't greet the fans yet.


Q: How does it feel like being in the crowd?

Jaejoong: FUN ^^

Junsu: Oh! Ok, can anyone please come and take Jaejoong Hyung's hand to the fans and let him be in the crowd again~!

Yoochun: It's ok if you don't speak. (// to Junsu)


Q: What's it like each time you meet fans?

Changmin: Like Junsu-Hyung he has his way of greeting fans.


Q: How?

Changmin: When I greet fans, I'll say "I miss everyone", "I love everyone" but if it's Junsu Hyung.....

Yoochun: If it's Junsu, he'd say "I miss you~~~~~~" "I love you~~~~ >

[Trans] 080318 TVXQ sleeping habit

-YUNHO

Our leader here loves to SMS before sleeping, and sometimes SMS halfway and fell asleep. Because of their tight schedule, they always fly everywhere and airplane becomes their beds. Usually, jaeho sits together, yoosu and changmin with manager. Before he sleeps, he'll take of his shoes (actually all 5 also love to take off their shoes before sleeping). Then, he'll take the small pillow; place it at jaejoong's shoulder, and sleeps on jaejoong's shoulders.

-JAEJOONG

Jaejoong loves sleeping with his stomach on the bed and NAKED (omg..nose bleeding..). Actually sleeping with your stomach on bed is bad, because it increases the curvature of the spine. Hence adding more pressure to the spine joints and also hurt the tendons at front. When part of the body weight is pressing down on the ribs and intestines, it will affect your breathing. if you sleep facing down, you need to twist your neck too, again not good la. However, sleeping NAKED is good. Without the clothes wrapping around you, you are able to relax and your blood flows smoothly. This helps you to sleep deeply.

yay!! so i encourage all 5 of them to sleep NAKED!!! It helps widen girl fans imagination, you know!!! hehehe

-JUNSU

He looks very active in shows, but at night when he sleeps, he is very quiet. He loves putting his hand underneath the pillow. He has good sleeping habits. However, when they move around attending their schedules and stays at hotel, his sleeping partner is always changmin. As known, changmin has the worst sleeping habits. Junsu got kicked by changmin is normal. So, our cute junsu can only take revenge by asking for his bank account no. while changmin is sleeping-.-"Haha... he is like the most being bullied by the other 4 of them.
Even sleeping also he will be disturbed-.-" haha

-YUCHUN

As we know that he is from USA, he has a habit of hugging something at his hands and legs as well. He sleeps just like a little kid. He looks cute sleeping like this, but it is not a good habit. It shows that he feel insecure. Another habit which has not changed since his debut is he does not like to wake up early morning. It is really difficult for him to wake up after sleeping. During their early debut, his manager tried to wake him up many times and sometimes he even gets angry Even now, if you see him appearing in shows at early morning, he looks blank and wanders off-.-"This is because he isn't fully awake yet.
So, our Micky is Ms. Nightingale!! Who only fully awake during the night.

ahahahaI do realize that most of Koreans that are from USA have somehow wounded psychologically. They definitely feel insecure and at times you do notice a low level of confidence by looking at their faces. Probably living at a different country with a different culture and a dominant language-English, has made them suffer a lot. Ki Bum from Suju is also one of those that sleep with hugging something.

-CHANGMIN

He did not have any sleeping habits. (note: did not) But during their Japan schedules, due to the stress, weird sleeping habits start to appear. Then, he became the worst sleeping habit person among 5. He talks while sleeping, laughs loudly and hits people-.-"
The most melancholy thing is you can chit chat with him too! Anything that you ask, he'll answer.

Person: What do you want to eat tomorrow?
Changmin: Ramyeon.
After he wakes up, he couldn't remember whatever he said before.Although he looks cute doing all these things while sleeping, I somehow feel sad for the effects of stress done to him. Poor thing.

[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.
