TVXQ-related cuts on ‘Strongest Group’ 最强天团 (Part 3)

22.33 onwards –

-captions: walking on the path to becoming TVXQ, from rookies who were closely-watched to continuously rising new stars; and then becoming the best singers, creating countless TVXQ hits; constantly the fans’ choice; TVXQ’s fans have personally chosen the best 5 songs.-

Peng Yu: We would like to introduce the 5 TVXQ songs that Chinese fans like the best. Just what are these 5 songs? Do the two of you want to guess? Where do you think each would be ranked?
Yunho: For 5th place… we have sung many songs. Because we sang so many.. (Hui Lian suggests Hug).. Hug feels like it would be somewhere in front. It feels like Spellbound. Because it is the most recent release.
Hui Lian: Did you sing it at the concert too?
Yunho: Actually we have not let (Chinese) fans see it – t/n: this took place before the Shanghai car show- so whether or not they will anticipate it more.. I think it could be 5th place.
Hui Lian: So 5th place is Spellbound, okay.
Victoria: Let’s take a look.
Zhou Mi: The 5th place is…
-Spellbound-

Victoria: In this song, you dance with female dancers. In the past, it was always with male dancers. This time it was with female dancers. Do you feel anything new?
Changmin: We have been dancing with men for 9 years. This time I strongly requested to dance with females. I managed to do this.
Hui Lian: I saw the MV. When dancing with the men, Changmin did not look too happy.
-KYHD captions: not in the army, yet danced group dances with male dancers for 9 years; Changmin KYHD intro caption: there is no way to continue; Changmin with tears – for 9 years, I am really upset; Changmin KYHD caption: for 9 years with male dancers, I have had a lot of chemistry – all go to the side!
Hui Lian: But when dancing with women, it’s like your face was radiating light
Spellbound clips; caption: expression has changed to become more cheerful, dance moves have become more smooth; red caption: where did the Changmin who was nervous while dancing, go to? Something caption: amongst the pretty flowers, (he is) contented. –

Changmin: While filming, I had the feeling that even if I died, I would have no regrets. At that time, I was really contented.
-captions: too candid?-
Hui Lian: But in contrast, Yunho did not seem as contented? Is it because he does not really like women?
-captions: ah~ how can that be?-
Yunho: Of course I like women.
Changmin: Although by saying this will make it a bit weird, (he does not) like women (dancers) as madly as me.
Yunho: It feels a bit unnatural because they are people I have not met before.
captions: dance machine Yunho is very shy in front of female dancers –
Yunho: So when we work together…
Hui Lian: But it is also Choikang Changmin’s first time ah~
Yunho: That’s why I was surprised at the time, what happened to him?
-captions next to Changmin: I had already done my mental preparations-
Yunho: His expressions totally changed. I suddenly felt that this showed a new type of TVXQ’s charm, which had not been showed before. I reckon they (fans) will like this.

Hui Lian: Then our 4th place is..
MCs: What do you think it is..
Changmin: I think the 4th place is Something. Just like what Yunho hung said just now, the newer songs have not had a chance to be performed for everyone, whether or not it will be Something..
Hui Lian: The 4th place..
Something –

Victoria: Their stage has strings
Zhou Mi: Were the strings for the microphones?
Victoria: Yes. How were they done? Whose idea was it?
Yunho: It was Tony Testa, the choreographer, who has choreographed for Michael Jackson. Because it makes use of string, there are times when someone would get hurt
Peng Yu: It looks hard because the feeling is that overall the whole concept is being manipulated by someone else, you have to do it like this – changmin makes a pulling action in the clip –
Yunho: like a wooden puppet. If we had just done it like that, it would not really be meaningful. So they put lights on top of the microphones, so the colours would change.
Peng Yu: Did the two of you discuss this? Like for the next song, what kind of ideas would we use?
Yunho: The staff, Changmin and myself discussed it together.
Peng Yu: Were there times where there were differences in opinion?
Yunho: Of course
Peng Yu: That in the end, who do you listen to? Would there be arguments?
Yunho: Sometimes majority wins, sometimes we use scissors, paper, stone. And then we’ll listen to the winner.
Peng Yu: Scissors, paper, stone. It is also possible like this?
Yunho: When we start a new choreography, it could be from watching a movie that we get ideas. After watching ‘Catch Me’…
captions: along with TVXQ’s growth, fans’ standards of appreciation were also increased.-
Hui Lian: Yes. New.
Yunho: The feeling was that if there was no creativity, this would be impossible. Recently, as the moves require a lot of brainwork (t/n: coordination)
– captions omitted due a lack of time 😦 but it’s basically about their hard work in dancing and producing different choreographies –

Hui Lian: I have been very curious about the two of you – (your) personalities don’t seem similar.
Yunho: Ah, they are really different. If we say that Changmin is like water, then I am like fire. When we first started, we would fight. Now, we have become more coordinated. Even if we don’t speak, we have a mutual understanding.
Peng Yu: What kind of methods do you use to resolve fights?
Yunho: For us, we would settle our differences on stage.
Hui Lian: While working together?
Changmin: Even if we had argued before, when we’re onstage, perspiring together, dancing and singing together, showing our hard-working selves, he really is my pillar (of support), realising this gives me a lot of strength.
Yunho: When we started over again, the special thing was during that time, when we stood on stage again and the audience was present. At that time, I felt very lonely and also fearful. Because I am also human. But I saw the one who was by my side, turns out Changmin is silently by my side.
-captions: changmin’s existence helps me conquer all-
Changmin: Especially during that time, I felt moved, specially grateful.
– captions of the Red Ocean: fans’ cheers filling the venue; captions while Yunho is praying: as the cheers get louder, the nervousness and worry also increase; captions of them on stage: together, in the time (it takes) until standing onstage, this way, TVXQ will be able to really stand tall. captions of them on the chair: in the time of 10 years, it is still the same one TVXQ. captions of them dancing: because it is not because of solely one person, that the best attitude (is shown) onstage.
