[TRANS] 100711 Junsu Ray Magazine August Issue

As a member of TVXQ, Junsu ventures into the music world as a solo artist!

Junsu's new song 'Intoxication' which was recorded in his solo single 'Xiah', includes the dance genre of matureness that fully displayed of his talent in singing.

"'Intoxication' brings a completely new side of me. It conveys the sexiness of men. The dance track has a club-feel, it exposes the truth side of myself without any reservation. Therefore, while performing, the vast dynamic range and large intervals would amplify and is also sang sexily!"

The music style of 'Intoxication' is something which I have always wanted to try out. On the other hand, '悲しみのゆくえ (Kanashimi no Yukue )' is an opposite of 'Intoxication'. It is a expressive composition which conceal one's sorrow. It says about someone who wanted to confess to a person he loves yet wondering if the person would understand and accept your feelings."

Able to walk on the path of music, Junsu is greatly affected by the impact of his mother。

"My mother really loves music. She was once approached by a management agency which hoped that she'll become an artiste, and this is the reason why she's so happy when I became one. It makes me scared sometimes when my performances or compositions are somehow similar to hers, she really did leave a huge impact on me. Now that I've become more professional than what I used to be, I no longer need her advice. Sometimes I would hear those words from her "After hearing such words, I feel lonely and complicated."

Junsu, who feels like he has only just embarked on the journey to become an artist said, "I've never really considered what type of artist I'd like to be, but I hope that my songs will last for the rest of eternity. As long as there are people who liked and enjoyed my music, I will continue to sing regardless of the time and situation. It is the things that I love which motivate me to sing.

[TRANS] Ray Magazine April Issue – Welcome to Changmin’s room!

Welcome to Changmin’s Room

Changmin Data

Date of Birth: 1988/02/18
Blood Type: B
Height: 186 cm
Habit you cant fix: i sleep talk… there’s nothing i can do about it….
Gestures you like for a women: When they are bewildered
What you were afraid of as a child: i found out Santa Claus doesn’t exist and I lost trust towards the world
What guys need: To be nice
What girls need: To be charming
What you do when you can’t sleep: That never happens. Really! There’s nothing i can do about it!
What you want to do the day before the earth ends: drink with my family and people i love


– Article–

I get attracted to girls with a pretty smile and eyes.
I love to drive, my wish is to go on a date with my car.

“The only time i dress so formal is only when i go to my friends wedding” says Changmin as he laughs.

When he debuted in Japan he was still an innocent 17 year old and now hes already 22.

He’s tall and slim who matches black formal outfit.
“I like outfits like this that makes me look slender/slim. What i look for in fashion is the style more than the color. I try to choose something that’s simple yet stylish.”


In his private life he said hes got his license and now his hobby is to go on a drive.

“I want to go on a drive date once. Usually I can’t show my feelings but inside a car I can relax so I think I can express myself better. There are so many places I want to take my girlfriend to! I really want to go to a theme park (amusement park) and have fun! *laughs*
- Even though your the youngest out of the member theres an image of you where your calm and cool. Are you passionate when it comes to relationships?

“Actually I am! I’ve had a few love at first sights in the past too and it’s not like I have anything specifically that I want in a girls looks . The only thing they have in common are girls with pretty eyes and a pretty smile. I’m more like as we date we get to know each other and then match our personalities to each other. I think that’s my pattern.

Slowly with his own words its surprising how much Changmin’s Japanese got better in this 5 years.
“Every time we release an album I said the word “growth” all the time *laughs* but this best album is really something you can feel our growth. And around the debut songs you can listen to us trying hard to sing in Japanese!”.

[TRANS] Ray Magazine April '10 – "Welcome to Yuchun’s room”

I’ve had love at first sight twice. Once I like someone, I’m a committed guy. My date outfits are usually causal. I like being natural.

Yoochun says once he likes someone, he’s a committed guy.
“Once I dated this girl who I approached so many times and I dated her for years. I’ve forgotten how relationship like that feels now *laughs*”

While joking around and talking like a little boy, once he stands in front of the camera his expression becomes like an adult.

His image when he debuted which was “cute” seems to have changed.
“When you listen to the best album I can feel that time has past. I want everyone to remember those times while listening to it”.



YUCHUN DATA

Date of Birth: 1986/06/04
Blood Type: O
Height: 180cm
Habit you can’t fix: I seem to not have much interest in my cellphone and I tend to forget it.
Gestures you like for a women: When shes cooking with no makeup on.
What you were afraid of as a child: Bike! I’ve been in an accident so..
What guys need: Motivation towards the future
What girls need: Calmness.
What you do when you cant sleep: I think about the future.
What you want to do the day before the earth ends: Eat with my family.


Yoochun can naturally pull off a classic vest and a hat. We thought he would usually wear clothes like this but
"I wear casual clothes all the time!” is what he said.
“In the fall/winter I wear mouton boots (sheepskin boots) and in spring/summer I wear flip flops. But sometimes I want to look cool so even though I don’t have an appointment with anyone I wear suits and drink coffee alone. Also I have 2 dogs so I take them on a walk in the park in my suits. One of my dogs, when it stands up its about 170cm tall so it's a hassle *laughs*. These days I like shoes that match suits so I’m going to buy the shoes I wore today in the photo shoot!”

-Do you wear formal shoes like this to a special date?
“Sometimes it’s good but on a date I like something more casual. When I date a girl I want to travel a lot and make a lot of memories. So I want my girlfriend to wear something like a denim jeans with a black sweater with a color stole. Something simple like that yet feminine. I want the girl I date to not show so much skin *laughs*.

Q1: After one day, the earth will explodes! For the last time, what do you want to eat?

JJ: a large amount of Tequilla!
I think if I get myself drunk, I wouldn’t be afraid of the earth exploding anymore (laughs)

CM: Pizza!
If you talk about my favorite food, after all it must be pizza!
I like to eat it a lot before the global explosion!

JS: Hitsumabushi!
The rice should be divided in 3 equal parts with wooden spoon, I want to eat hitsumabushi in its most proper way.

YH: My parent-made miso soup!
My mother is really good in cooking everything, regardless if the earth is going to end, I’d choose Miso soup.

YC: The cooking from a person whom I love!
If I already get married, then it’s my wive cooking. For now, it should be Jejung’s cooking (laughs)


Q: Your favorite snack and alcohol mixes?

JJ: Sweet fish and tequila ・ whiskey ・ wine!
We have small fish as snack in Korea as well.
Rice wine doesn’t go too well with it.

CM: Chicken wings and beer ・ soju
I like grilled chicken, especially the wings part.
It goes really well with beer and soju.

JS: Mackarel fish and beer
I start to love mackarel fish when I’m in Japan.
The clear-cut taste of beer goes well with it.

YH: Takowasa and shochu!
Takowasa is my favorite snack. I also like wine, but for takowasa, absolutely it must be soju.

YC: Frozen tomato ・ warm edamame and plum wine!
I pay attention to the temperature even in the simple ones.
As for alcohol, recently I enjoy those whose fragrance I’m loving.
