Reporter:
The 5-member Korean group, Dong Bang Shin Ki, who has debuted for 3 years, has already become
Korea's No. 1 boyband in a short period of time. Moreover, they went beyond Korea and promoted
in Japan and various areas in East and South-east Asia. Previously, the album that they released
in Japan broke a new record and they became the first overseas group who is so successful in Japan.
They came to Hong Kong a little while ago for promotional purposes and brought a CD store in
Causeway Bay to a halt [meaning there were so many people crowding the CD store]. So, one can see
how shocking their level of charm is in Hong Kong.


Interviewer:
Right now beside me, we have the No. 1 Korean male heavenly group whose popularity spans
all of Asia - Dong Bang Shin Ki. Dong Bang Shin Ki, annyeonghaseyo ("Hello DBSK" wink !


DBSK:
"Hi everyone, we're Dong Bang Shin Ki." (in Cantonese - "dai ga ho, ngo dei hai dung fong sun hei" wink


Junsu:
Hi, I'm Dong Bang Shin Ki's Xiah Junsu.


Yoochun:
Hi, I'm Dong Bang Shin Ki's Micky Yoochun.


Jaejoong:
Hi, I'm Dong Bang Shin Ki's Youngwoong Jaejoong.


Changmin:
Hi, I'm Dong Bang Shin Ki's Choikang Changmin.


Yunho:
Hi, I'm Dong Bang Shin Ki's U-Know Yunho.


Reporter:
To tell the truth, all 5 members really like this place - Hong Kong.


Yunho:
Last time we came to Hong Kong, we had a really good impression. The night scenery in Hong Kong
is also quite pretty. There were a lot of fans who welcomed us. And a lot of cheers. This time,
it's been a year since we've come to Hong Kong again. Initially, we were quite worried about the
fans' reaction. But they were very enthusiastic in welcoming us. There were really a lot of fans
present. Once again, we'd like to thank all our fans. We were very touched and very happy.


Jaejoong:
There are many reasons why I like Hong Kong. One is that there's a harbour. It's really beautiful.
So, I like Hong Kong. I really want to try riding the ferry and go to the night market... To try
some delicious local food at the night market.


Yoochun:
Last time... What peak was it? Victoria Peak? [Translator interrupts and confirms it's Victoria
Peak; I think it's actually just called "The Peak" in English in Hong Kong =)] Them four told me
that we've been to this peak before. I was asleep at that time. So, I'm the only one who doesn't
remember going there.


Yunho:
Only Micky hasn't been there... [interrupts in singsong voice & looks away from camera =P]


Yoochun:
This time I really want to go there again. I won't sleep again this time.


Reporter:
During our special interview, the five of them who are full of energy revealed many secrets about
each other that not many others know about. Since they're all sitting in a row here, let's ask them
to vote on each other to see who in the group is the most at something. First off, out of the
5 members, who eats the most?


DBSK:
One two three... Changmin...


Interviewer:
Why's that?


Changmin:
Ummm... Compared to other members, my appetite is a bit larger. Yeah... I really eat a lot...
[or I really eat too much... *lol*]


Junsu:
First of all, he can really eat a lot. If he's really hungry, the highest record for eating in
one day is 7 or 8 meals. If he needs to lose weight, he would still eat all 3 meals [breakfast,
lunch, dinner] in a day. Just like what I said before... His consumption level is very high.
[His appetite is very big.] That's why out of the 5 members, he is the tallest.


Interviewer:
The second question is, "Who's the one who cares the most about his looks in Dong Bang Shin Ki?"
OK, ready?


DBSK:
One two three...


[silence/uncertainty]


Junsu:
Once again... One two three... Hero...


Yunho:
Junsu...


Interviewer:
Everybody thinks that you, Xiah, care the most about your looks.


Junsu:
This is because of good luck. / It's just by chance.


Yoochun:
Not to say that he cares a lot about his looks, but he's the most handsome [in the group].


[I think the original intention was a hug, but it turned into a handshake]


Junsu:
Best friend... [Junsu speaks English! Look at the way Yoochun laughs... Hahaha...]


Interviewer:
Hero also had 2 votes.


Jaejoong:
I don't know why they would pick me. Maybe it's because of the way I usually dress. For example,
my fashion [clothing/wardrobe]. Because I usually pay attention to how I look... The reason being
I want to show our fans my best side.


Interviewer:
The third question for them is, "Which member of Dong Bang Shin Ki is the sleepyhead of the group?"


DBSK:
One two three... [all point at Changmin]


Interviewer:
Should be Changmin?


Changmin:
Yes, it's me. I'm the youngest out of all of them. The youngest, right? So, I like to sleep the most.
Yeah... That's right. I really need lots of sleep.


Jaejoong:
Changmin loves to eat tonics [food that enhances one's health] the most. Also sleeps the most... The
earliest to sleep and the last to get up. He also likes to take afternoon naps. Frankly, his energy
consumption should be the lowest [meaning he should be the least likely member to have his energy
exhausted]. Plus, he's so young. If he sleeps that much and still thinks it's not enough, maybe his
body/health has some problems. To say it bluntly [in a bad/negative way], it must be a body/health
problem. To say it in a good/positive way, it's because he wants to grow taller, so he likes to sleep.
And we all agree that he is the tallest in our group.


Changmin:
Thank you.


[Jaejoong shakes Changmin's hand]


Reporter:
Our next question... Even without them revealing the answer, I'm sure the viewers already know
a bit about it. This is because the question is, "Who talks the most out of the 5 of them?"


DBSK
One two three... [all point at Jaejoong]


Interviewer:
Hero... Why is it him?


[Jaejoong keeps laughing =D]


Interviewer:
Why?


Jaejoong:
First of all, they all voted for me. Maybe it's because whenever I talk a lot, it's because of
team spirit. Because I have to raise the team's spirit. So, I'm a really hardworking member.
But they all said this about me... I'm very disappointed.


Yunho:
I want to add something... You can see how much he has spoken just now. Hahaha... Just one look
and you can see he's very talkative. Haha... I think because of team spirit, he likes to interrupt
others. Every topic that's discussed by each member, there would be a different atmosphere. And
Jaejoong has never failed to join each conversation. Hahaha...


Reporter:
The 5 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki members are all very funny/humourous when talking.
Behind-the-scenes, they're also very playful [meaning likes to play/joke around]. Even the
group games that they play at the dormitory have to keep on changing and changing.


Interviewer:
For our next question, I'm sure every fan would really want to know this. To tell you the truth,
their favourite game at the dormitory is "Human Sandwich". Let's see if there are any new games
that they want to play now. Let's ask them if there are any new games.


Yoochun:
"Sandwich" has already passed the "Best Before" date.


Junsu:
There are some new products lately.


Yoochun:
Why don't you share what's new?


Junsu:
"Double Sandwich"... The sandwich has 2 levels. We only have 5 members, so you're wondering how
we could be piled that high, right?


Yoochun:
Junsu himself...


Junsu:
Put a pillow in the middle... We can stick a pillow in the middle.


Yoochun:
Oh, this is a good idea. We still haven't tried it yet. If there's a chance, we'll try it next
time. After we've tried it, we'll share with you our afterthoughts.
