TVXQ’s Changmin developed a victim mentality after debuting in the industry


TVXQ‘s Changmin shared that he developed a ‘victim mentality’ after working in the entertainment industry.

On the May 10th episode of MBC‘s ‘Joo Byung Jin’s Talk Concert‘, Changmin opened up about his introverted personality.

“In a group, there are members that are very outgoing and well-spoken, while other members may not say much and be very reserved,” Changmin began to say.

“Relatively, I don’t speak much so I may come across as being less than enthusiastic,” he continued. “I also thought that people paid less attention to me because I was a man of such few words, and I developed a victim mentality.”

Super Junior‘s Leeteuk then displayed his wit by responding, “Yunho just needs to talk less,” and Changmin added, “I hope that quiet people like me can continue to live bright and cheerful lives without being stressed out.”

Changmin’s fellow TVXQ member Yunho then determinedly remarked, “I will make sure to speak less,” causing everyone to explode into laughs.

Possibility of TVXQ reunion through Avex?


Recent news on the possibility of TVXQ‘s reunion is sending shockwaves throughout the industry.

On January 22nd, a Japanese article titled, “Will Avex act as the savior? TVXQ’s reunion project” surfaced. It reported of rumors of a reunion concert at Tokyo Dome orchestrated by Avex, who was previously accused of hindering JYJ‘s Japanese activities. In light of Avex’s recent under-performing releases, it is said that they are willing to go head with this project and stop hindering JYJ’s Japanese activities. Japanese superstar Ayumi Hamasaki is rumored to be negotiating on behalf of both sides.

While the news of a possible reunion is being met with enthusiasm by fans all over the world, many are skeptical of the chances of such a reunion actually occurring. The fact that this reunion is being orchestrated by Avex instead of SM Entertainment is also a cause of skepticism.

The article goes on to state, “While the reunion of TVXQ is something that many fans are waiting, the small possibility of this actually happening is an indicator of Avex’s desperation,” hinting that Avex’s recent lack of success may be reason for pursuing such a unlikely project.

TVXQ fans responded to the news with, “While it would be great if reunion happens, it seems unlikely“, “They say Avex will lead the project but I can’t trust them“, and “I hope they stop writing these pointless reunion articles“.

As no official statements have been released from any parties, it’s important to wait for these rumors and speculations to be confirmed. Stay tuned to allkpop as we await developments on this matter.

When MC Kang Ho Dong asked the two members the question, “Did you ever have a hard time because of the excessive love you received from fans?‘. Changmin responded, “I changed my phone number because I got a lot of prank calls. 5 minutes after I changed my number, I got a text on the number saying ‘You changed your number’, which shocked me“.

Yunho added, “It’s very mysterious. I changed my phone number again and I got a text saying ‘Changing your number frequently isn’t good’. I also got pictures of items that could only be found in our dorm. I was very surprised at that time“.

Changmin made the audience laugh by saying in jest, “If you know my phone number, it means that you have looked through my personal information, which is a violation of the law. Taking pictures of our dorm is also a violation of the law as it’s housebreaking“.
