SPUR Special Long Interview TOHOSHINKI
Yunho and Changmin talked about their “Precious time and Feeling of love”.
~After we had been separated, we understood the importance of each other.~
Q. Your fans and SPUR had been so looking forward to your return! First of all, can the two of you tell us how you were during the two years?
YH: Yes. Prior to the two years, I worked as Yunho of TOHOSHINKI but in these two years, I spent some important time as Jung Yunho to look back myself. I thought over the path that I took while working very hard. I also thought about the new path leading to my future as a human being, Jung Yunho, as well as Yunho of TOHOSHINKI. And thinking about these things made me excited about my future!
CM: For me, it was the period of a new turning point. The environment that I was in was completely different from where I was previously and it was really hard because I had hard time for getting used to that kind of life and sometimes I felt inconvenience. On the other hand, I was able to do something that I could not do well previously. Like reading a book or keeping my journal. I think after all it was a good experience for me to challenge myself in many aspects. Continue reading

Joyful dates that the two of Tohoshinki have in their minds.
Q. You just resumed your activities after two years of hiatus, so I guess you don’t have time to think about a date. But today, it will be great if you could fantasize about a “joyful date”.
To begin with, do you have any movie or drama in your mind that have your ideal date scene?
YH: There are many. I do not know the Japanese title but, there is a Korean movie where a college student couple sneaked into an amusement park after it was closed and spend their time all alone there. It is thrilling and I think that it will be a special memory.
CM: Is that about “My Sassy Girl”?
YH: Yes, you are right. Well, it is violating the law to sneak into the amusement part (laugh). But I wish to rent the amusement park for my date.
CM: For me, it is in “1 Day” a British film. I do not have a particular scene that I like but overall it is a romantic film. Right now, They enjoy spending time together and when they are apart, they still think about each other. They are passionate and it is really lovely.
YH: I guess, I’ll change to “Beauty and Beast”. On our special day, I want to dance a waltz like them and do something special. Continue reading

Magazine CREA Official twitter shared the 4th behind-the-scenes story from Tohoshinki’s feature in their January Issue~

Also posted on their instagram (crea_magazine): here.
Translation:
CREA behind the scene episode 4.
As you can see in the making movie, Changmin-san always quietly watches Yunho-san. During interview, when Yunho-san tried to find words to express himself, he gave Yunho-san help “Well then, I will talk in the meantime” But once Changmin-san opened his mouth, he was quite talkative. On the other hand, Yunho-san whispers Japanese words that he wanted to say while Changmin-san was talking, but the level of his Japanese is really high. I was really surprised to hear him saying, “Contradiction, Inconsistency”. Continue reading
Happy new year!
Tohoshinki from their pre-recording at the CDTV special studio, which was their last schedule on 2017~
Boys ate soba noodles called toshikoshi soba (year-crossing soba), in Japan culture they eat year-crossing soba on New Year’s Eve to wish for a long lasting life.
