With Kim Jaejoong, Kim Junsu, and Park Yoochun forming the group JYJ, they successfully finished their Taiwan showcase on October 30. They accepted interviews before they left Taiwan, exposing secrets of one another.

When asked what the biggest challenge for them since they debuted, and when was their most exciting moment, Jaejoong answered with, “can we just talk about what happened this year?”, trying to avoid talking about TVXQ.

When asked about his tattoos, Jaejoong replied, “I have the letters of TVXQ on my back. Most of them are words, and I only put things on that have meaning to me.” He showed off the tattooed wings while bending over, which makes one think of his current rumor with Ayumi Hamasaki.

JYJ: The Biggest Boy Band In The World You’ve Never Heard Of

Trivia question: Who’s the biggest boy band in the world? Backstreet Boys? *NSYNC? New Kids? Hanson? Take That? Menudo? Nope. According to reliable source Guinness World Records, it’s JYJ.

Never heard of JYJ? Well, obviously you haven’t been to Korea lately, where the group’s singers, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, and Kim Junsu, are bigger than Justin Timberlake. Their popularity in their homeland landed them in Guinness in 2008 and 2009 for having the world’s largest official fanclub (more than 800,000 members in Seoul alone) and for being the most photographed celebrities on the planet (they’ve been snapped professionally approximately 500 million times).

And now JYJ are going global, as they release their first English-language album, The Beginning, on Atlantic Records. The disc features production on two tracks, “Empty” and “Be My Girl,” by superstar studio guru Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige), and the album’s lead single, “Ayyy Girl,” actually boasts vocals and production by a little American artist named Kanye West.

It is said that in Korea, flowery boy is used to describe a person with attractive appearance. Beautiful like a flower, and smell as nice as a flower…. the slender beautiful lad who stands out like a character from the shoujo manga, is Changmin!
The staff suggested to completely unbutton his shirt. Due to this, Changmin was very shy and rejected strongly, ‘No no, It’s okay to have my shirt buttoned!’ However, he compromised halfway. (laughs) ‘I don’t usually let people see that!’ In the end he still showed a bit of his physical beauty. Undoubtedly, he is a ‘flowery boy’.
‘No, it is not like that. My female friends have never told me that, maybe because I am not that popular…’
