Changmin's Message to Cassiopeia

The ones I really feel grateful to are every one of our 'Cassiopeia' fans.
Honestly, in these 10 years of activities, I'm also only human... So it's not all the time that I always feel happy...
I'd also feel that it's tough, be exhausted, get angry, get tired out, and will feel like taking a break... I would have these thoughts...
As for when those things happened, I can no longer accurately remember... But there was once when it was tough like that, I still had to go up on stage to perform~
Honestly, it wasn't even a particularly big, or glamorous the stage...
I went on stage feeling like I was having it tough, and I thought to myself inside- to do it as per usual. I just have to do what I have to do diligently, and after that I'd be able to go down and rest... Even now, I'm not clear as to why I was like that then..
But that day, when I stepped on stage and saw all of then fans holding their red light sticks and heard the sound of cheering for us,
For a moment, I felt it was surreal. Because I felt a certain kind of warmth...
I, who had originally felt that it was so difficult and tiring, my heart was melting like snow, unknowingly, it had also melted open...
These words might seem too much like meaningless lies to some... Or maybe many people might also feel that these words are merely sweet nothings for the fans...
But what I felt at that moment... was the truest of my heart...^^
Time has yet again passed a little more, and from a certain point, I realised that we've become considerably established senior singers, I was quite shocked at that...
At a certain moment, it suddenly became clear that I am a person who has received so much love and support all my life, and am living a life so full of these blessings~
In the past, I was too embarrassed to convey my gratitude to the fans, so I couldn't express it properly... When I look back at myself then, I now feel a little regretful...
When I think about it... what I've received is something that I'll never be able to repay no matter how hard I work, even for the rest of my life, this much love... That's me^^ At least in my personal opinion, but there is no way to measure the depth of love. And no matter how you put it, the great love that all of you have given me...
Regardless of whether it's just me... or both me and Yunho hyung... We'll never be able to repay your love no matter how hard we work! Nevertheless, we'll still work the hardest to give it back, from now on we'll put in even more effort! Be even happier! And show a more blessed side to everyone in our activities...^^
Thank you all for always being by our side... I love you (heart)


Changmin's Message to Yunho

When we release this album, TVXQ would also have become 10 years' singers^^
Time has really passed so quickly...
From when we started out 10 years ago, we have been through so much difficulty, it seems that we were only able to walk on till now due to all the support, care and love from our fans who have stayed by our side all the way^^
This number '10', how should I put it... Actually, it's only a number...
Everyone's heart and mind is different, whether it can make one excited... is really fascinating...

To our Yunho hyung who has been with me for 11 years
Even though hyung is also only a human who cannot be perfect all the time!
(Of course, I'm a completely messed up kid tooㅋㅋ)
But I'm very thankful for having a hyung like that by side up to now
I'd like to thank you hyung, once again from the bottom of my heart^^
I hope that in the future, as we go on quarreling and at the same time working hard at moving on handsomely, let's have a disgustingly(?) good time wallking on forever!!
Hyung, thank you~ d^___^b
