TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho has given his fans some unforgettable fan service.
In ’2011 Give Children a New Life’, which was aired on the 5th on MBC, U-Know Yunho was seen hugging a fan in the street and giving others winks.
Honoring Children’s Day on May 5th, the ‘Give Children a New Life’ program was aired, aiming to help nurture the dreams and courage of children fighting rare diseases such as cancer and leukemia.
TVXQ sold ‘Potted Plants of Hope’ in front of a department store in Gangnam with Park Gyeong Lim and provided fan service to lucky fans who bought potted plants with stickers on them that said things such as, ‘Hug U-Know Yunho or Choikang Changmin’, ‘Receive a wink’, and ‘Take a Polaroid picture with them.’ http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif On this day, U-Know Yunho pulled on the heartstrings of all women present when he gave cute winks to the lucky fans, who seemed shy at first, and ran over to give them hugs.
Netizens who saw the show said, “I’m so jealous. I should have gone”, “This is a great program since the proceeds are going to a great cause,” and “U-Know Yunho is so cool.”
Rookie group X-5′s superior bodies have surprised even TVXQ.
X-5, who made an extravagant debut with their title song ‘Don’t Put On a Show’, are ‘Tall-dols’ who boast an average height of 186cm. They have made their mark in the eyes of the public with choreography that accentuates their long arms and legs as well as their explosive stage presence.
After wrapping up their first broadcast performance on KBS2′s ‘Music Bank’ on the 29th, X-5 met with reporters recently and said, “Because we’ve been constantly hearing about what broadcasting companies are like, it didn’t feel like something new to us. We just thought, ‘So this is what a broadcasting company is like.’”
Members continued on to talk about their first encounter with U-Know Yunho. U-Know Yunho at 184cm and Choikang Changmin at 186cm said to the X-5 members, “I though we were the tallest but I guess a group taller than us has finally come.”
The members of X-5 added, “We’ve been working hard to bow to our seniors whenever we get the chance because we want to leave them with a good impression of us,” and “It’s so great to be able to meet seniors who we saw on TV and wished to meet. We could feel their aura.”
