[TRANS] 110120 Homin - NON-NO Magazine Interview Q & A Part 2

Which one of you is more competitive?
Yunho: I am.
Changmin: I think I'm less competitive. When it comes to things that I'm not particularly interested in, I don't really mind losing because I don't approach it with the mindset of having to do my very best (laughs)'
Yunho: Even when there are no results. Things you can and can't do. Things you can and can't win. Even if there's none of that, I'll still try my hardest.

Can you tell us the secret to achieving your goals?
Yunho: Have confidence. Even if it's a perilous road, one day you will reach your goal. Even when you're feeling dejected, don't avoid the problem, confront it. That way you'll eventually realize that your dreams are in fact attainable.
Changmin: (Clapping/speechless) There are so many things that I'd like to learn from super star Yunho!
Yunho: Liar! (Laughs) Well said!

In what areas would you never lose to one another?
Yunho: Changmin always wins when we play the football game 'Winning Eleven' (sighs)
Changmin: How about comparing the number of books we've read?
Yunho: Both of us really enjoy reading but when it comes to who's read more… Well at the moment I'm reading a book called 'The Secret'
Changmin: Isn't that the one that you just sit and stare blankly at? (laughs)

What do you do to make up for each other's weaknesses?
Yunho: Conversation isn't really necessary, we just make use of the natural atmosphere to help one another. We don't really make any plans (laughs) because we've lived together for so long that we're able to understand one another.
Changmin: Don't have to worry about Yunho at all! He's the perfect leader!!
Yunho: Oh no (laughs)!! I'm not perfect.

Which one of you is luckier?
Yunho: I don't believe in luck. There are things that you have to work hard for. TVXQ did not have much luck when we first started out, but over time we got luckier. That is the mindset I've always maintained. When I was in 'Goong', I didn't have a lot of time for rehearsals and so I'd practice in my own time to make up for it.

To this day, which have been the most pivotal moments?
Yunho: When we first debuted. After that, it was Kohaku. It was an opportunity to showcase our powerful stage performances to those who'd only heard our songs. That was the thought I had in mind as I danced my heart out! Even though I was so nervous, I felt blessed. It was like I had cast a spell on myself 'My dream is coming true right this moment'
Changmin: The first time the two of us stepped on stage as TVXQ in our live performance at SM Town. That was the most nerve-racking moment ever.

Please talk to us about your way of dealing with hardships.
Yunho: Enjoy it while you're enduring it. Don't run from it. It does not only concern me as an individual, it also has an impact on the happiness of those around me.
Changmin: I allow time to past by and try as best as I can to face them.

Which one of you talks about love tactics?
Yunho: I don't.
Changmin: We don't do it because we can't. It's the same for both of us.
Yunho: They're not really tactics. Really… (I) don't know them (laughs)!
Changmin: That person will become the only one I see. Wherever love and romance is concerned, my brain doesn't really function
Yunho: Changmin and I are both rather simple-minded towards love. We rely on our instincts so whenever Changmin is in love, I can tell without him saying.
Changmin Me too! (laughs)

Do you have lucky charms of any sort?
Yunho: Instead of physical objects, (in order to have faith in myself) I have my personal mottos/charms to keep myself motivated and then I smack my chest.
Changmin: You have to hit it till it hurts!
Yunho: No no, just two or three times (laughs)
Changmin: I don't believe in bad luck so I haven't really thought about that kind of thing. I've always believed in myself and being with Yunho makes everything okay.
Yunho: Wow!
Changmin: I feel really good when I'm around Yunho
Yunho: That's because you know me so well

What would you like to achieve as an artist?
Yunho: I want to work hard enough so that people will look at me and say 'No wonder they're Tohoshinki'. I've really matured in a lot of aspects and I hope people will see that.
Changmin: Now that there are only 2 of us instead of 5, whether we're in photo of PV shoots or anything else, it will always be just the two of us. We have to perform better than we are doing now so that we can exceed people's expectations.
