[trans] Son Ho Joon's super awesome and cute!! interview in The Celebrity (January 2014 issue) about Yunho

Q: when did you come up to Seoul from Gwangju?
A: ... when I was feeling down, Yunho was the first one to come to me in Seoul, and he introduced his manager to me. From then on, I started my path as an actor.

Q: When did you know TVXQ's U-Know Yunho?
A: When I joined a drama club in Gwangju, Yunho was a friend of a 1st-year junior.

Q: Is that 1st-year junior the one who came to Yunho's party (featured in the December issue)?
A: No. This 1st-year junior was actually only discharged from the military yesterday. He is also a friend who is doing acting, called Park Sang Hyuk. Regardless, from that time until now, both of us and Yunho are the closest friends and get along in a hyung-dongsaeng relationship.

Q: It was really difficult for you 10 years ago when you started your Seoul life.
A: when I moved to Seoul, it was around the time when TVXQ debuted, and Yunho was starting to gain popularity. But despite his busy schedule, if Yunho had some time to spare, he would call me and ask, "Hyung, have you eaten?" and if I replied, "No, I haven't eaten", he would come running and have meals together with me, before going off again for his schedules. And for about 10 years, he took care of me like family. He is a friend whom I will forever be grateful for.

Q: It seems like 2013 will become a really special year for you to remember by. When you reach forty and look back on this, what will it be like?
A: "Reply 1994" is a really valuable piece of work to me. Even now, other than Yunho, there is no other person whom I regard as family in Seoul. Yunho similarly said this, "For me, other than the fact that we are not blood-related, I am closer to hyung than even my real sister." When Yunho is busy, I was always alone. But while filming this show, I met many precious people...

Q: After you rose to stardom, have you had drinks with U-Know Yunho?
A: I always meet up with Yunho. Today, Yunho is coming back from Japan. No matter who it is, when our schedules end, Yunho will either come to my house, or I will go over to Yunho. Our friendship is on the level where we see each other every day. Perhaps the person who is happy about my current status is Yunho instead of myself. Every morning, he will look up my name on the Internet, and will let me know about this news article and that news article. He also let me know how to deal with situations in this industry. Yunho has already paved my future prospects for me. He is really a cool dongsaeng.

Q: We heard that 2 months back, you started living alone for the first time in your life.
A: Until now, I have almost always been living in Yunho's house. Although we are close, it is a fact that it was not my house. I hope Yunho won't be disappointed that I said that. (While living together) Yunho's father also sent me food which is good for the body and told me to eat that together with Yunho. But even so, I felt sorry eating those food. Because I thought, would it be alright for me to eat this when Yunho, who is always so busy, should be eating it and taking care of his own body. But now that I have gotten my first house in Seoul, that "pressure" has disappeared. It feels good. Haha.

Q: How did you feel when you opened the door of your new house?
A: Even at that time, I went together with Yunho. It was supposed to be my first time I was setting foot in the house, but Yunho was even more happy than me. He said, "Isn't this the first house hyung bought with your own abilities?" and went to the shops nearby to buy loads of daily necessities and brought it to my house. On the first day when I moved in, we had a can of beer together in the room. Yunho asked me, "So is it ok for me to come to hyung's house every day now?" I laughed because I was really happy.

Q: both of you are like lovers.
A: when each of us finish our schedules, we will speak to each other on the phone, along the lines of "should I go over to sleep at your house? Or should we sleep at hyung's house today?" I think it's because both of us are now separated after having spent such a long time living together with each other, and both of us are a little sad about it.
