Amongst the different questions they are asked about their career, they were asked about their time with Tohoshinki and their thoughts about the members. Below is a translation of SONNY’s thoughts about Tohoshinki~
――東方神起のおふたりの印象は？見事にニコイチだな、と思います。お互いがそれぞれにないものを補い合っているんですよね。ふたりで東方神起というブランド、グループを守っているな、と感じます。――個々の印象はいかがですか？ユノは、みんなのことを考えているからこそ、思っていることをズバッと言っていくタイプ。リーダーとして、みんなが沈んでいるときには声を出すなど、全体を見ていて足りないところを補っている感じですね。
チャンミンは、そんなユノをしっかり支えながらも、物事が円満に進むように常に気に掛けていて、サポートしていますね。

– Your impression of the two of TOHOSHINKI?
They are exactly what “two are one” means. They support each other to fill the part where the other falls short. The two keep TOHOSHINKI, the brand alive.
Yunho cares about everyone and he gets to the point straight. As a leader, when everyone is feeling low, he cheers us up. He watches over us and help to find something missing.
Changmin supports Yunho to make sure that there would be no conflict.

The third interview, published on 180924, featured YWKI-san, and below is a translation of his words about Tohoshinki which fans found touching ^^
――YWKIさんから見て、おふたりはどんな人ですか？東方神起は本当にすてきなアーティストです。
ユノ（ユンホ）は熱量がすごいです！（笑）。気持ちで物事もパフォーマンスも伝えるタイプで、リーダーとして10年以上も東方神起を守り続け、常にかっこいいことをしようという気持ちがリハーサルからビンビン伝わってきます。ガツガツしているようで、実はとても繊細でかわいいです（笑）。
チャンミンは本当に優しくて真面目で、一歩二歩先を見ているタイプ。物静かに見えるんですけど、ステージではいきなり目付きが変わり、オーラをまとって豹変する彼が好きです（笑）。でも、いきなりお茶目にもなることもあってかわいいんです（笑）。
僕が個人的に思うことですが、チャンミンは影のリーダーだと思います。いつもユノのことをしっかりと見ているんです。やっぱり毎回毎回100%のステージなんて無理で…ユノの調子が良ければ後ろで支え、ユノの調子が悪いな、と感じれば前へ出て守っています。
また、自分たちのことだけじゃなく、常に周りも気に掛けていて。ルックスやスタイル、歌唱力、パフォーマンス力がすごいだけじゃなく、そういう部分も内面からにじみ出ていたり、気持ちを込めたパフォーマンスをしていたりするから、見ている人にもふたりの素晴らしさがしっかりと伝わっているんだと思います。
それを僕たちダンサーズやバンドさん、スタッフの皆さんがそれぞれの仕事をして、ふたりを支えている…本当に素敵な現場だと思います。

– At your point of view, YWKI-san, what kind of person they (the two of them) are?
Yunho has amazing energy! (laugh) He is the type to speak out how he feels what he thinks through performance. He has been a leader of Tohoshinki for more than 10 years and has been keeping Tohoshinki alive, and he continues to do something cool/exciting.. I can tell what he is thinking through the process of rehearsing. He stays hungry but actually he is very sensitive and really cute (laugh).
Changmin is really gentle and sincere person. Changmin is always focused on a couple of steps ahead of us. He looks quiet but once he is on stage, he looks really focused and quickly changes /turned into (a star) and emanates an aura of (a star) (laugh). I love him. He is also adorable when he is acting cute out of the blue.
This is just my personal opinion, but I think Changmin is the leader behind the scenes. Changmin watches how Yunho is doing all the time. Naturally, it is not possible to perform 100% every time. When Yunho is doing well, Changmin supports him behind, When Yunho is not doing so well, Changmin takes the lead.
Also, they care not only about themselves but also other people around them all the time. Their look/appearance, style, skills in singing and performance are all superb but something more like that I just talked about permeates out and they perform with all their hearts, everyone can tell how great performers they are.
and we dancers, band members, and staffs we all do our best in our jobs to support them. I think it is truly a great environment.
