JYJ’s Junsu, Yoochun and Jae Joong and TVXQ’s Yunho and Changmin may be taking different routes from here on, but their desire for the 5 of them to reunite as TVXQ is the same as their fans.

It is so for JYJ, and the other 2 of TVXQ seem to have the same thinking. In the interview below, JYJ shares about how they view the possibility of the 5 of them reuniting,

[It hasn’t been easy with the ongoing lawsuit with SM, how is everyone feeling?]

Ever since we made that decision to leave our previous management company, SM Entertainment, we’ve already prepared ourselves mentally, and that’s how we are able to hold on till now. Even though we do feel tired at times, we still believe that everything would be resolved successfully one day, and we’ve always kept that in mind.

[What’s the possibility of the TVXQ’s duo and the three of you reuniting?]

Things don’t look very hopeful with the present situation, but we believe that the day will eventually and certainly arrive. The time we spent together (as 5) wasn’t just 1 or 2 years, but we went through some of the most tiring, most painful, and most passionate times, and we’ve always been walking and progressing towards the same direction. For the five of us who have always been holding on to the same dream, there will definitely be a day when the five of us will stand together (on stage) again. We also hope to present ourselves like that towards our fans, but according to the current situation, we do not know yet how things will turn out.

[Can you share if you’ve had any regrets about splitting up at the peak of your career? How do you measure your success in Japan?]

As compared to describing that period as a time where we were worth most as entertainers, we prefer to refer to it as the heyday of our Tokyo Dome Concert performance. Of course there were moments when we were unable to reconcile with, but because we made that decision, prepared to face the possibility of not being able to stand on stage and not being able to be a singer, instead of saying that it was a pity, it would be better to say that it was regret. When we first debut in Japan, we did not have much opportunities to carry out promotions in Tokyo, but we went to all of the different television stations outside of Tokyo. Right now, seeing how our juniors are able to debut in Japan amidst the media’s and audience’s attention is indeed no small achievement. If we were to say that BoA brought us the hope and possibility of breaking into the Japan market, then we are the people who helped to clear the obstacles so that our juniors are able to debut in Japan in a much better situation and circumstance, and that alone is very pleasing to us.

[After leaving SM, have you contacted the TVXQ’s duo?]

We’ve tried, but we are unable to contact them. We have our personal agendas, but it is also a fact that we have been together for not just 1 or 2 years; we do not have any misunderstanding towards them, and even when we are apart, we know and understand each other’s real intentions. We hope to see the both of them successful and we also hope to see more of their excellent performances. However, we are also struggling with them coming back under the name of TVXQ, because we are also TVXQ.

[What are your goals and hopes for 2011?]

Our main aim is to complete JYJ’s promotional activities for our international album in America, as well as to put up cool performances for our world tour beginning in March. We also hope that the music and essays from our hearts, which we are releasing this month will be loved and accepted by everyone. It’s the year of the Rabbit, and we hope we can achieve more in terms of JYJ’s activities, and we also hope to meet the fans more freely on stage.

[What kind of lover do you go for?]

(Jae Joong) I’ve mentioned a lot of times that it’s someone with pretty hands and feet. To me, I prefer those hands that are pretty even though it may look normal, the type that would make the girl look prettier when she puts her hands on her face. It is said that summer is a season which causes one to develop interest in other people, because you can see if the feet are pretty or not. To add on, health is also something that is very important.

(Junsu) I’m the type to fall at first sight, so that’s not really a certain type that I go for. She may be cute, straightforward, someone with a bright personality, or someone who works hard to excel in her work. I’ve said before that amongst the artistes, Kim Jung Eun and Han Ye Seul are not bad.

(Yoochun) I don’t really have a particular type. Kim Tae Hee used to be the type I liked in the past, and I was really happy when there was an article stating that she had been watching “SungKyunKwan & Scandal”, which I starred in, and it spurred me to want to improve on my acting. Recently, in actual fact, I’ve not formally introduced any of my girlfriends to my mother before, so if I were to date, I would definitely introduce her to my mother first, and I hope to have a virtuous girlfriend whom my parents would like.

[Are there any sad love experiences?]

Compared to being sad, everyone knows that we don’t always stay in Korea, but we travel to and fro between Japan and Korea, amongst other Asian countries, and our schedules are extremely hectic. We are very passionate towards our music and most of our girlfriends find it unacceptable. We are also unable to play the role of a normal boyfriend to prepare for all sorts of anniversaries, and it’s impractical to have weekly dates. As such, our girlfriends would sometimes feel that we are neglecting them, and at time they would also feel unhappy. In actual fact, there are too many issues to pay attention even before the start of the relationship so it’s almost impossible to date for a long period of time.

[Yoochun’s role in “SungKyunKwan & Scandal” has shown everyone his acting skills.]

(Yoochun) No matter what, this was something that let me realized the existence of other possibilities, and it allowed me to attain a dream work. It’s very fortunate; before I was so nervous not knowing if I could do it well, but after having met the crew and other actors, I realized that I could actually continue filming while enjoying the entire process. I’m still considering my next work, but at the moment, JYJ takes priority, but if any other good work appears I would definitely want to take up the challenge.

[I was elated after receiving the Best Newcomer Award.]

(Yoochun) I was so shocked I didn’t even know what to say and who to thank, so I didn’t say much during my speech after receiving the award. There were a lot of hardworking crew giving their best for the television drama and even though I am not able to thank them personally and individually, I’m really grateful to the casting crew, film crew, lighting crew, make-up crew as well as all the other crew members. It was because of them that I could successfully portray the character of Lee Seon Jun, complete the entire drama and receive the audience’s love and appreciation.
