There is a reason for being popular
(few sentences omitted)
Yesterday, there was the event and joint coverage for the certain Yunho.
(few sentences omitted)
I have written in this blog for a few times, but my profession is not to make interviews.
(few sentences omitted)
But, I am participating in more than 100 interviews every year.
I am meeting many persons, watching many events, and seeing a lot of audiences.
And, once in a while, I participate in the interviews.
But, I mostly do not ask the questions myself.
I just think of the questions, and ask a person fluent in Korean for the actual interview.
Most of the time, my understanding during the interviews are less than 50%, lol.
This is because all of the interviews are in the Korean language.
But for the person I interviewed today, all the interview was in Japanese, so I could fully understand the contents.
This is really the first time, maybe yes, maybe no.
OMG~~ just from this one fact, I thought “Great!”
This day, I was sitting right next to the interviewer, the interviewer was a different person.
To tell the truth, I have only watched episode 1 & 2 of HTTG, so I thought that it would be bad manners if I myself made the interview.
Usually, I watch the episodes as much as possible before making the interview.
So, I asked my colleague, who had watched all the episodes to be the interviewer.
(few sentences omitted)
The person answered the questions looking directly into the eyes of the person asking the questions.
We have been hearing about his honest personality, but he was beyond those talks… the scales fell from my eyes.
Of course this was my first time that I met directly with him, beforehand, I was watching him from far away, 2 to 3 songs each time. (when the events were hosted from the Korean management side)
If the events were hosted by the Japanese management side, we, the Korean related media, cannot cover the events.
(few sentences omitted)
The person I met was truly a good guy, I was so surprised. Though young, he was his own man.
Among the Tohoshinki fans around me, Yunho is the most popular. (lol)
Watching Yunho fans daily, I think that the artist and fans are similar in character,
or, in other words, have the same faith.
When I met the actual person, I found that my anticipation was correct. (lol)
He was very manlike, and conscious that he was the leader.
Inside the passionate personality, he holds objectivity, and also has the strength to stand on his beliefs.
And he does not screw someone over.
There are not many that made me feel such.
It was rare that I could feel strongly about the perfect personality, even though it was the first time we met.
The person I met was a young man who spoke with humility about his drama, in which he took the leading role for the first time.
But, he held pride in his achievements as an artist.
He was a dependable young man, who was thinking in a positive way about what he would like to do in the future, and many others.
I sincerely wished that he would overcome the next challenges, and be active in many fields.
Those who shine as artists are standing firm in their own convictions by their hard efforts.
I also thought that there is a reason for being popular.

Reading this makes me proud to be Yunho’s fan.. to be TVXQ fan… I believe not only Yunho but all TVXQ members are well mannered and lovable…
I always believe what Junsu mentioned abt Yunho… “No matter how bad the people are, if they have friend like Yunho, they’ll be the happiest person”
I’m only a fan but I think I’m one of the lucky person tht get to know TVXQ

She saw the real Yunho and was shocked by him. I many times felt about all 5 of them, how is it possible to have such wonderful people in this world? They are not regular people, but shockingly special.

Im so happy when she was all praise about Yunho.
Yes yes indeed! Yunnie always has this dignified
aura around him wherever he goes, that’s why I am always assured that he will act appropriately during interviews and such (and everybody will love him at the end of each meeting, kekeke)
Gosh. Im so proud of Leadershii. Keep up the good work!
Umma must be soo proud of you!
haha (of course, Jae is Yunnie’s #1 fanboy, hehehe)

Yunho always impresses people even when they first meet him.
“It was rare that I could feel strongly about the perfect personality, even though it was the first time we met.”
Yes, of course Yunho is perfect. X’D
