[TRANS] part 3. Nikkei Entertainment Tohoshini

It made a lot of sense to me. For someone like them who have worked really hard since their adolescence in this harsh entertainment world while being chased by time limit, I understand that they cherish the period of time where they could stop and think about themselves as their treasure.

YH: Yes, you are right. In these two years, I had different works in day time and at night. At night, I was usually just myself and I thought over a variety of things. For Yunho of Tohoshinki, there are many supporting staffs around him. But, “Right now, Yunho is just himself. What can he do?” I asked myself such a question every night and I began from there. I started to find something that I can do myself and I tried many things. I think that I understood a little better the meaning of the word, “responsibility”. More specifically, I was a leader of my group, so I gave advice to younger members and solved their problems. I hope that I will remember these experiences and use the best of them in my activity from now on.

Just before the hiatus, Yunho often spoke about “change”, “I will come back in two years as a monster.” On the other hand, Yunho felt relieved about Changmin who “has not changed at all” after their comeback. I was not expecting this.

YH: During the two years hiatus, we met when we were on break. But at the moment when I saw him after comeback, I immediately thought, “Changmin is Changmin!” What was it? It is difficult to explain.. But the atmosphere of Changmin has changed. Changmin is of course Changmin but he is more gentle.. and more mature.
CM: (shy)
YH: “I am a man!” and tried really hard to act tougher .. a man should not be like that.. but the way Changmin looks at people, it is gentle. and he is more relaxed.. and I felt that he has matured. And I got excited, “wow, I will look forward to working with him!”.
- I guess the declaration of “coming back as a monster” must have put some pressure on you?
YH: Actually, you are right (laugh). But I think that it is really important for a man to set a goal a bit bigger than he could achieve but then he makes it. I already said so, so I need to set my goal higher. I will start here. I can decide small details on my way there. I knew our Japanese fans are looking forward to seeing Yunho turned into a monster, so I am preparing many things right now. Yeah.. it is pressure. Hahaha!
