TVXQ-related ments on 'Strongest Group' 最强天团 (Part 1)

- On TVXQ's nicknames- 3.50 onwards.
Peng Yu (MC): How did the name of TVXQ come about?
Yunho: Teacher Lee Soo Man's name for us was 东方不败 (Invincible East). So at that time, (he) wanted to use 东方不败. At that time, there was even a meeting with the director of 东方不败

Female MC: It seems that President Lee Soo Man really liked Chinese movies
Yunho: At that time, (we) even got the permission of the director. Although 东方不败 was not bad,(we) considered the meaning of the 'Rising Gods of the East' and chose that instead.

Yunho: Actually, at the time, when we heard the name of TVXQ we felt very embarrassed.
Changmin: At the time, there was almost no one using Han characters in their names.
Yunho: Majority were English names.
MC: HOT etc.
Yunho: At the time, using this name in Han characters, although it was a bit awkward, now when you hear it, it sounds especially 'strong'
Yunho: And also has become a source of confidence, with the passing of time.

Victoria: Then besides the group name, each member's names are also 4-characters. How did this come about?
MC: Or perhaps at the time, you had a feeling that there would be a programme called 'Strongest Group'
Zhou Mi: That 10 years later, there would be such a programme
Yunho: That could be one of the reasons (smiles). Because the group name is 4-characters, so each member's nicknames being 4-characters, would make it more meaningful. Because he is the most outstanding singer, so he got the name 'Strongest Changmin'. For me, the English meaning is 'you know' (do you know?). It became (a way of) conveying to the other party, my sincerity as an artiste, thus 'U-Know Yunho'.
Peng Yu: So it became an special feature of the group to have each member’s name consist of 4-characters, and is also a good way of remembering, because each one has an outstanding point.


-On Yunho's filming-
Peng Yu (MC): I've heard that Yunho has been busy filming a drama.
Yunho: In the drama, ’Night Watchmen’s Diary’, I play a swordsman.
Victoria: I heard that when you were riding a horse, you fell and hurt yourself. Are you okay?
Yunho: While practising horse-riding, I hurt my bum.
MC: The bum? Which part?
Yunho: The right part was hurt.
MC: Was it a problem when using the bathroom?
Yunho: No problem. Good (he says it in chinese 好)

-Changmin-
Peng Yu: Has Changmin been filming a drama too?
Changmin: Recently, I filmed the drama, Mimi. Right now, I’m resting.
MC: Right now? Why?
Changmin: There’s nothing to do.
MC: I have a 빙수 (bingsu / shaved ice) shop, come and work for me. Right now, I am short-handed.
Yunho: He has to discuss this with me.
MC: Ah, you are the manager?
Changmin: This is about me working, let me decide. (laughs)

-On Yunho’s library-
MC: In China, there is a library, in Shaanxi Province.
Yunho: (nods) yes, many of my fans used my name and built two libraries in China. At the same time while (I am) receiving love, they are also sharing love, building this library.
Peng Yu: There is also someone who is very important to Yunho, who expressed his gratitude. This is a letter from Yunho’s father.
Zhou Mi: Even Brother Yunho does not know his father wrote this letter.
Yunho: At that time, I didn’t know. After that, I asked my father: have you written it? He said he wrote it already.
Peng Yu: The letter that Yunho’s father wrote is a long one. We have extracted a essential paragraph :

Chinese fans, have you been well? Building libraries for children of troubled families, and also providing library books and learning materials; such a beautiful and charitable gesture will help the flowers of the future bloom, giving them strength. Health is the most important. Please take care of yourselves. From Yunho’s father.

MCs: So moving, so loving~~

Yunho: Listening to it again makes me feel shy. They really support me. This makes me work harder. My family believes in me and I also treat my fans like my family. So I will always continue to work hard.
