Yuri

A: Both (laughs).
Jessica

Q: Jessica who sleeps well, lately do you have enough sleep?
A: Lately…I don’t sleep so much (T_T)
Q: Please explain about the eye make-up you always apply.

Q: On the opposite what do you want to ask the fans?
A: What is your reason for liking SNSD?

The cannon in ‘Born to be a lady’ is really pretty!

A: Travel

Q: What do you do on the plane?
A: The same as the other members, sleep, eat flight meals, play games or read books.

A: Since I want to experience a lot of new things, I also want to try being in a musical and acting.
Q: What has been the most suprising birthday surprise so far?
A: On the day of the 2011.6.28 Tokyo Yoyogi live, the surprise birthday put on by the 8 unnies and fans who covered the concert in pink! I was really touched!
Q: What is the favorite thing you bought in Japan?
A: Make-up tools, being able to apply make-up by myself is very useful and I use it a lot.
Q: What is your feeling after finishing the Japan Tour?
A: While doing 14 performances and enjoying the stages, we didn’t only become one with the audience, we learned a lot that nobody will understand if they don’t experience it directly.
While touring around I feel like I was able to grow a lot. I’m happy that I also got a bit better in Japanese. But I’m still not that good yet…From now on I will put more and more effort in showing everyone an amazing performance.

[News] U-Know Yunho’s Chest is Scratched bec of Changmin's aggressiveness
Choikang Changmin has left a wound on U-Know Yunho’s chest.
On September 15th, a photo of TVXQ was uploaded on an online community guestboard, with the title “The love from the little brother, who got a little too excited, towards his elder brother”.
The photo was taken when TVXQ was actively promoting “Why (Keep Your Head Down)”. It was taken during the part where Choikang Changmin was pushing against U-Know Yunho’s chest. However, because the strength of Choikang Changmin’s hand was so huge, a reddish wound was formed on U-Know Yunho’s chest.
The uploader of the photo wrote the following words, “Changmin oppa, please use lesser force. Is it because you got used to having to push him every day, that you unwittingly used too much strength this time?”, expressing her concern for U-Know Yunho’s wound.
Netizens who saw TVXQ’s photo commented, “Perhaps it’s because they are so focused on doing their best on the stage for their performance and song, he couldn’t control his strength”, “Your sense of observation is amazing”, “Both of them are working very hard. Looking at it, it’s great”, “The battle scene is always delightful. Why do I feel like watching the performance again?”.
In other news, on September 10th, TVXQ was invited to the Lacoste 2012 S/S Collection held at New York’s Lincoln Center. They took part in the event as Korea’s representative, showing off their fashionista appearance.
