■TVXQ interview excerpt
The two have been side by side ever since their formation. Even after 20 years, their feelings for each other are still strong. Yunho is currently 38 years old and Changmin is 36 years old.
Yunho:When I first met Changmin, he was still a first year high school student. As you can see, he has become a very nice man now (lol)
Changmin:Thank you for your compliment (lol)
Yunho:When Changmin is always working next to me, he never complains and always works hard in a quiet manner. When I saw him, I could feel his strong sense of responsibility. Also, because we trust each other so much, I have no say in what Changmin does.
Changmin:I have the same feelings towards Yunho. Being a teenager is so exciting because you’re relentlessly running towards your dreams. It’s passionate and very dazzling. However, I think it’s normal for people to lose that kind of positivity as they get older. This is because they seek a sense of stability in their lives, have more things to protect, and become less challenging. In a sense, I think it’s a natural thing that can’t be helped. But Yunho has always been active and passionate since he was a teenager. Nothing has changed since then. The impression I had of Yunho since I was a teenager has not changed at all, in a good way. Of course, I also see people accepting their current situation and reality and moving forward even stronger, and when I see them, I feel like they’re pushing me to overcome any obstacles and move forward. I really respect that passion.
