[Vid + Trans] 110309 TVXQ at KBS WORLD Arabic Radio Interview

A rough translation of the interview, courtesy of MJ aka Seung Ri on twitter

Q: Do you have any intention to visit Arabic countries to meet your fans there?

Y: Of course, we will visit any place to meet our fans and to perform for them. But unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to visit Arabic countries but we wish to meet them one day. We knew that we had fans there but we didn’t realize that they love us so much.

They were asked if they were pressured due to the busy schedule they said that it is true that the schedule is packed with activities but since they were away for 2 years and seeing the fans is enough to make them forget the pain.

Someone asked Yunho about the meaning of Honey Funny Bunny, he said that it is a cute pure nickname to call a lover (please don’t call me that… Honey is fine… *gets bricked*)

Someone asked YunHo about the secret of his tender smile, he said that he doesn’t have a secret … and just because he heard the fan’s sweet voice he naturally smiled <33 (he’s so cheesy… that’s why we love em)

Q:  If you heard the word Arab what do you think of?

Y: I think of Arabic food. I love to eat a lot like Sheep meat and I heard that it is popular in Arabic countries especially the one that is wrapped with bread. If I had the chance I would visit Arabic countries for sure. (It sounds like a standard Changmin answer… but it’s not, it’s Yunho, hahahahha)

Q:  If you had the chance to visit an Arabic country which one would you choose??

C: We would visit all the countries including Iraq . (The fan who asked the question is apparently from Iraq)

The gifts that were brought in is actually given by a fan, the same person who tipped us on this great interview. Much thank you to JSYa_ on twitter. These are some pics of the gift:

Q: What about Twitter?

Y: We don’t have Twitter accounts but we are thinking of away to communicate with our fans directly, so please wait for us. (PLEASE NO TWITTER… I would have to delete about 99% of my tweets…  they are… erm, quite embarassing to read)

Q: Do you listen to Arabic music?

C: Until now we didn’t listen to Arabic music or experience the Arabic culture,  but in the near future we would love to explore the Arabic world and listen to their music and visit the countries once we have the chance. Korea is not familiar with the Arabic culture but i want to learn more about it.

Q: (A fan asked Yunho if he can sing to Arabic Music)

Y: I think so… the beat is similar to a Korean music called trot. The song is unique and addictive and that made me want to learn more about the Arabic music.

Q: You know Japanese and Korean, do you know other languages?

C: I am studying now Chinese and English and i want to learn more. Also, for the Arab fans i want to learn the Arabic language.

Y: For greeting, I can do it using Japanese, Chinese, and Thai and for Arab fans I am planning on learning Arabic to greet the fans in Arabic countries.

Q: Changmin, you are so handsome… Do you have a girlfriend? and describe your ideal woman?

C: I don’t have a girlfriend now. (P.S: he was laughing the whole time) My ideal woman is pretty, nice and can cook. I may asked for a perfect woman but that’s the woman I want. (Ladies… start cookin!)

——- Some fans sang some parts of TVXQ’s songs ———

Q: Can you tell me of what you have felt while listening to them… are they good?

C: All of them were good and personally I love their voices in Korean and I deeply thank them for doing that. And I want them to keep their interest in the Korean culture.”

Q: What are your wishes for this year?

Y: Because we have returned after 2 years and 3 months, we tried to improve not only vocally but also to improve our image and from this moment we will pay more attention to the Arab fans and their culture.

C: We will focus on our activities in and out side Korea and we will try our best to avoid being pressured also we will try our best to be healthy because that’s important to us and to our fans.

Q: Do you want to say something to the Arab fans?

Y: I thank you for the birthday wishes and I wish you all the happiness.

They concluded the interview by singing SHE
