Whose birthday is it today? Shim Changmin, that’s who!

The 100 feet tall (haha!), self-sufficient, mature-beyond-his-years Changmin turns 22 on Feb 18th. Wah~ he’s so young!

Changmin, Junsu’s religious disciple (haha!), is currently shooting his first drama series called Paradise Ranch set to air later this year.

After the stage, I waited for Junsu in a waiting room. I heard a story that Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu, Age 24) always sing songs wherever he is. When I heard someone singing a song from outside of the entrance door, Xiah Junsu entered the room. He is the person of the hot topic in the performance world these days.

“Mozart!” the first musical Xiah Junsu challenged to perform during a conflict with the position office, SM entertainment; showed an amazing interest by the public and the ticket selling power. The high evaluation was passed when he created the powerful stages which he did not at all appear to be a new face to the musical world.

The interview was performed in a condition to only ask questions for the musical performance, not about the current issue. This is the first domestic media’s interview after “Mirotic” in 2008. Xiah Junsu chose his words carefully, but he was bright and cheerful the whole interview time. When he repeated words, “Anyone has hard time in one’s life”, I was able to imagine his recent situation somehow.

01. MIROTIC

This single was released in October 2008 as the title song, which is energetic and sexy, for their 4th Korean album.

During last year’s arena tour, they coordinated their dance moves with large screen LCDs and gave an exciting performance to the audience.
If one mentions 2008, one will definitely remember [PURPLE LINE], released in January that year, that allowed them to achieve their first Oricon Chart #1!

Through this single they also made a new record of number one singles and made that year an undeniable of number ones.
