TVXQ reflects on first comeback stage, Yunho clarifies his ‘Thanks To’ message

After pre-recording for their comeback stage on KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank” today, the boys of TVXQ met with reporters to discuss their love for the stage, their ambition for a strong performance, and to clarify the controversial ‘Thanks To’ message.
Starting off, the duo shared, “We’ve wanted to stand on stage for a while.  It’s really emotional.”  Yunho continued, “It feels unique coming to the broadcast hall after such a long time.  I’m more excited than nervous about our first stage. Unfortunately, I caught a cold, and wasn’t able to show the best stage possible.”
Changmin added, “While watching the year-end award ceremonies last year, all I could think about was wanting to stand on stage. I thought I’d be nervous, but maybe this is what it feels like to come back home after studying abroad.”
The reporter brought up how fans have waited for their return for over two years, to which Yunho replied, “We’ll work as hard as our fans have waited for our return.  We’ll be standing on many stages as singers, and appear on variety shows as well.  It’s important to do well, but even more important to try our best.  Please look forward to us.”
In an interview with Star News, Yunho stated, “It’s been a while since we’ve stood on a Korean stage, so I was very excited, feeling very much like a rookie again.  We’ve gotten a lot of juniors here at the broadcast hall, and I felt thankful in being greeted by them.  We’ll be promoting ‘Keep Your Head Down‘, and we’ll show a good image to our fellow seniors, juniors, and our fans.”
Changmin added, “It feels good returning to Korea.  The broadcast hall feels like our home, it’s very fun.”
Regarding the controversy surrounding ‘the second coming of TVXQ‘ statement in his ‘Thanks To’, Yunho clarified, “It’s just an expression of our feelings in starting our activities again as a duo. After a long while, Changmin and I have released an album, the message was just meant to be an expression of greeting our fans again. It’s our new sense of determination.”
When asked about the differences between singing a song with two members as opposed to five, Yunho answered, “First of all, you need more stamina.  Changmin took charge of the high notes while I covered the lower notes.  I was worried about whether they’d match, but thankfully it harmonizes well. We tried to pay attention to every part of our choreography.  It’s an album we’re confident in, as we’ve put our best in it for our fans to look forward to.”
The duo also completed an interview with KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay,” which will broadcast at 9 PM KST on January 8th.
