TVXQ Mirotic Interview

Translation
Q1 Condition of TVXQ
All: Hello, we're TVXQ!
CM: Yes, we recently were preparing for our 4th album, and we also were active in Japan simultaneously. And recently, there has been a concert with our SM family, with SM Town, right?
YC: Right.
CM: It was a place where all the SM members performed together, something I dreamed of; with our juniors, and with BOA senior. It was very meaningful and fun!
JS: Yes, it was great.

Q2 Introduction of the 4th Album
YH: Yes, this album is a very special album to us.
JJ: Of course, we have come back after one year and seven months! We're actually releasing an album after such a long time, and the title of the album is "Mirotic". Yes, and firstly, Mirotic is a new word! Just like the two chinese characters, it means 'maze', and -tic. -Tic is an english word, which you put after a an adjective. So you can say that it's a fusion between chinese characters and english. So it's a new word!
YH: Does it mean that this album is an album you can't escape from?
JJ: Yes, it does.
JS: It means it's that type of album, with that type of song.
JJ: Yep, you can't come out of my spell. I feel as if the album connects with our song called "Joomun (Mirotic)", and if you listen and listen again to our album, you probably can't stop. (YC:Attractive album). As much as it took us to prepare for this album, it is filled with very solid songs as well, so please listen to it.

Q3 Introduction of the Title Song "Mirotic"
JJ: And our title track!
YH: Our title track is "Mirotic," and, I mean can't you just feel something by just the title?
JJ: It's a spell!
YH: Yes, it's a spell!
JS: Please order the album (Joomon in korean means both spell and to order!)
JJ: A while back, there was an Internet article called "We take orders for TVXQ," I was so shocked! Look at their type of sense.
YH: Our title song, Mirotic, is a dance song composed of a reverse beat. It is a song with a very sophisticated yet cold touch to it. I think that the chorus, especially, is very charming. You fall for me, you go crazy for me, you're my slave, and so on. It's basically about us, putting on a spell onto one woman. A thing like 'you can't leave me'.
JS: It's the apperance of a very confident man.
YH: Yes, a very positive man.

Q4 An episode you remember the most during the prepare of the album
YH: During the time of a year and 7 months, there were numerous episodes while we tried out best to produce this album.
YC: There were more than many! Firstly, while we were filming the music video of Mirotic; during Changmin's solo scence, it was very late, and everybody was tired. Well, Changmin was under water, in a water tank, and he dived and swam around BUT that tank ended up breaking!
JS: What broke?
YC: Don't you not know? The tank!
JS: Huh? It broke?
YC: HAHAHAHA
JS: Ah! Right it did break!
YC: You know right? (JS: Yes, yes, yes!) Well, the tank broke, and so it took more time than we expected, and plus, Changmin had a cold!
JS: I felt bad for him, while I was watching him film his part.
YH: What I remember the most is during our photoshoot; even though the music video was filmed excitingly! There were slightly some scenes where we showed some skin, right?
JJ: Yes there was.
YH: So I remember how the five of us excerized
JJ: We really tried our best
JS: Really tried our best!

Q5 Future Plans in Korea
JS: We're back after a year and seven months, finally, and releasing an album. We put a lot of effort in it, since it's our fourth album, and we tried our best to produce and prepare for it. We'll be greeting you with an awesome performance, awesome live, and awesome dance with Mirotic, so please look forward to it. We really want to be active until the end of 2008 in Korea, so please help us, and support us!

JS: It was TVXQ until now! Thank you!

TVXQ Fourth Album “Mirotic” MV to be played in front of City Hall on the 21st

Before it’s official release, TVXQ’s fourth album MV will be revealed on a big scale in front of City Hall on the 21st.

TVXQ’s fourth album MV finished filming around the end of August, with “curse,” “mystery,” and “darkness” as themes.

The producer of this MV mainly used a 35mm film camera during filming, enhancing the overall feeling of the video, with the TVXQ members and a female character immersed in the “curse,” and the members who wake up beautifully from this “curse.”

The full MV is to be released on the 21st at 6 PM Beijing time (I think it’s 7 PM Seoul time), with the theme of “giving young adults dreams and hope- TVXQ’s Mini Concert” for their showcase. The 20 second teaser, released on the 16th, has already received explosive reactions from the public.

Also, TVXQ plans to release their fourth album title song on the 24th on various music sites such as Melon, Cyworld, Soribada, etc.

Included in this album are the reverse beat dance song ‘주문-MIROTIC,’ which has a sophisticated melody and intoxicating chorus, and ballad, R&B, acid jazz, remakes, and more that makes a variety of 12 songs.

Two TVXQ members have participated in writing the songs. Junsu wrote ‘노을.. 바라보다’ (Look at.. the Sunset), a ballad which showcases TVXQ’s vocals, and is about wanting to protect your girl with your heart. It has impressive and emotional lyrics. From their 3rd Japanese album “T,” ChangMin wrote the Korean version lyrics to the heart-wrenching ballad song ‘Love in the Ice.’

This 4th album shows TVXQ in attractive, new, diverse songs. The sophisticated ‘Wrong Number’ has grooves with a dark, mysterious atmosphere that features for the first time JaeJoong’s rap.Jaejoong's composed the SMP (SM Music Performance) genre "Hey!"(Hey! Don't Bring Me Down), Club Dance "She-devil- Are You A Good Girl" and the Acid Jazz "Rainbow". There is a lot of genres inside that was dedicated for the fans to enjoy their music.


With an electronic beat and strings’ harmonic melody, ‘CRAZY LOVE,’ written by famous lyricist Kim Young Hoo, is about a man who doesn’t want to give up on the woman he loves, and makes a pledge. In addition, Lee Yong’s hit song ‘잊혀진 계절’ (Forgotten Season) in the 1980s will be newly made into JaeJoong’s solo, which will expose it to the younger generation.

The title song ‘주문-MIROTIC’ will be available to the public on all music sites on September 19. On the 21st in front of City Hall, TVXQ will have their first 4th album promotional activity in their “Dong Bang Shin Ki Autumn Mini Concert.”

Big Metrosexual Transformation

My Daily News (Kor): DBSK 4th Album Comeback - Big Metrosexual Transformations
5 09 2008

Idol group front-runner TVXQ has fixed this coming 24th to launch a ‘blitzkrieg’ attack through album sales and the start of Korean activities for the 4th album. After making history by being the first foreign artists to hold the record of topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart thrice in Japan, in that sense the activities that would start-up all over the country would have a deep significance.

While TVXQ’s company revealed a teaser image on the 4th for the 4th album,the anticipation of both fans and netizens heightened. The idol group’s former ’sweet smile’ image differs with the mature allure that exists in the photo. TVXQ’s Max ChangMin, Micky YooChun, Hero JaeJoong, U-know YunHo and Xiah JunSu accordingly stand side by side, wearing black clothes and with pieces of long black cloth draped around their bodies, blowing in the breeze.

The clothes reveal their bodies part by part and a sexy atmosphere is aroused. Though all hairstyles were kept short, they were exquisitely trimmed, and when taken altogether, reaches the completion of the metrosexual image.

TVXQ said that, “Just as much as the time it took for us to release an album in Korea, we exerted even more effort for it. That would let everyone wait for the fresh transformations of TVXQ’s music and performances,” announcing that the album release is next up to these teaser images.

DBSK/TVXQ - Love In The Ice Korean Ver. Lyric + Translation

식어버린 작은 손 지극히 떨리는 입술
아무 일도 없었다고 고개 숙인 채
누군가를 추억하는 네 모습 두려운거니
입 안에서 맴도는 말 애써 삼키고
아련했었던 뒷모습이 새하얀 눈처럼 조금씩 녹아내려


어두워진 밤하늘을 떠나지않는 별처럼
사랑이란 믿음으로 영원히 함께하는 꿈
그 사랑 내가 될 수 있다면
다시 한번 굳어버린 그대 마음을
영원한 따스함으로 감싸안을거야


현실의 벽에 부딪혀
시려오는 가슴이라 해도
흘러내린 눈물의 끝에는
흐려져가던 빛줄기가
어둠속을 환하게 비추고
이 시간에 스며들어
숨이 멎을 벅찬 가슴에
뜨거운 체온을 서로 느낄 수 있어


누구라도 안고있는 상처만 깊은 한숨을
끌어안아 줄 수 있는 그 공간을 찾고있어
나 단 한사람 그대에게만 속삭이는 설레임에
눈이 부신 나의 세상이 되어 곁에 있을테니


세상끝에 홀로 (My Heart)
남겨져가고 혼자였나요 (Don't be afraid)
아주 오랫도록 (Let you know my love)
내가 지켜낼 (You know)
사랑이니까 (Let you know my love)


어두워진 밤하늘을 떠나지않는 별처럼
사랑이란 믿음으로 영원히 함께하는 꿈
그 사랑 내가 될 수 있다면
다시 한번 굳어버린 그대 마음을
영원한 따스함으로 감싸안을거야

*between vowels, unvoiced k becomes voiced g, but because there's a pause here, it may have just stayed k. i can't hear him well enough to make this judgment
**n before g becomes ng, so that's why there's two g's there and it's supposed to be read as ng-g, not n-gg
***if this symbol ㄹ ends a syllable, it's pronounced like english l. but when it's between vowels, it gets shifted onto the next syllable and starts off as a flap (something similar to english r). because there's a pause here, he might have kept it as l, but i kind of hear an r, so i think he might have been anticipating the next syllable.
****k also becomes g, or closer to g, following nasals. but this one actually sounds a lot like k to me, so i'm typing it in as such
*****there isn't much of a pause here, but they must have pulled their voices in just enough, because this sounds like l and not r to me, despite coming between two vowels in a phrase
******same but with k and g

These are the "first" instances in the song where things like this occur. There are others, of course, but I'm much too lazy to label them all.

Translation:

Your small, cold hands and trembling lips
Able to carry on as if nothing has happened

Are you afraid of remembering someone?
Struggling to swallow the words bubbling up to your lips

Your back view resembles falling white snow
Melting bit by bit

Just like the star that doesn't leave the dark night sky
We’ll carry this dream forever together with love and trust
If I were that person
Once again
I’d hug your hardened heart tightly in my arms forever

Against the wall of reality
Even the coldest of hearts
At the end of the flowing tears

The fuzzy stream of light
Shines brightly in the darkness
Passing through that time

Able to feel each other's body heat
In the heart that stops breathing

Everyone has scars and heavy sighs
I'm trying to find that space in time when I can draw you into my arms

I can’t believe how just whispering to you make me so nervous
Till we can be together in my world

Alone in the end of time (my heart)
(Don't be afraid) because you were left alone
Till the end of time (I'll let you know my love)
I'll protect you, (you know)
Because I love you, (I’ll let you know my love)

Just like the star that doesn't leave the dark sky
We’ll carry this dream forever together with love and trust
If I were that person
Once again
I’d hug your hardened heart tightly in my arms forever

TVXQ's 4th Album Pre-Orders Breaks Records

Two years after their “O-Union” album, TVXQ is now finally set to release their 4th Korean album!

Amazingly, on the first day, according to SM Entertainment, the number of people that pre-ordered the album broke records. Reportedly the pre-orders were already a whopping 200,000 just on the first day. When TVXQ released their first album (Tri-Angle), it was only 10,000. During their second album (Rising Sun), they got 130,000 pre-orders. On their 3rd album “O-Union” pre-orders on the first 2 days reached 100,000.

TVXQ has been a very busy group. They have been concentrating in Japan for almost a year or two and their popularity has truly skyrocketed across Asia, making international music audiences curious. Now that their 4th album is set for release, not only their Korean fans, but also International fans, are buying the album.

Fans across Korea have been waiting for TVXQ to make a comeback in their homeland. These Korean fans have been anticipating an album release since last year. That much wait must have been frustrating. But fans still show their support and love despite it all. In fact their support seem to have gotten even bigger.

It is expected that TVXQ will take home some prestigious awards by the end of 2008. According to our source, last year’s Golden Disk Awards top record was 150,000 record sales. But now that TVXQ has already received a big 200,000 pre-orders on the first day, what more when the album is officially released? It is predicted that their record sales might even reach to 500,000 or more!

The 4th album release is set for September 2008. TVXQ is now currently busy recording songs for the new album. Fans have been spotting them in and out of SM Entertainment’s office for the past weeks. Reportedly, TVXQ will be releasing a Korean version of their Japanese song Kiss mini coopera Mama Sayonara (As We Kissed Goodbye), which was written and composed by TVXQ members, Micky Yoochun and Hero Jaejoong collaborated on this song.

Indeed, TVXQ is becoming better and better as they grow with their music. They have proved that they deserve more than be called “idols” in Korea. And we already know that they have become more than that.
