Japanese Name: チャンミン (Changmin)
Also known as: Max
Real name: 심창민 / Shim Chang Min
Chinese Name: 沈昌珉
Profession: Singer, dancer, actor and model
Birthdate: 1988-Feb-18
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Height: 186cm
Weight: 61kg
Star sign: Aquarius
Blood type: B
Languages: Korean and Japanese
Religion: Buddhism
Hobbies: Listening to music, singing, eating
Position: High vocal (his high note is very outstanding)
Recognition:
6th Annual Best Youth Competition SM Entertainment Awards: Best Singer & Best Artist
Max graduated from Gaepo High School in 2006. He was then accepted into Kyung Hee University. As of 2009, he is enrolled as a student of Kyung Hee University majoring in postmodern music.
In January 2008, Max volunteered with his father in the cleanup of the beaches in Taean, South Korea following the nation's worst oil spill in history. His trip to Taean was intended to be done in secrecy during a short break from his activities with TVXQ during the new year and was only made known to the media and public when another volunteer posted his sighting on a fan site. The incident was later confirmed by TVXQ's agent.
Shim Changmin (심창민) was grouped with the youngest participants in the audition. Like Xiah Junsu, he impressed the judges with his powerful voice. He joined the band under the name Choikang Changmin (최강창민; the English counterpart to his stage name is Max). Choikang in Korean means "the best;" "Max" became an international rendition of this name.

When recording TVXQ’s debut single ‘Hug’, Choikang Changmin had something else to worry about other than work. His grandmother, who doted on him the most, was ill at that period of time. Apart from giving his best in his career, he kept worrying about his grandmother’s condition. Changmin had even hurt his vocals during that period of time, due to him practicing their songs hard. But he persevered and finished the recording. ~cassiopeiasg.com
An aquarius born in 1988, his blood type is B. Is greedy when it comes to music, so sometimes cries when he isn't satisfied with his singing. Because his parents are teachers, he is also very competitive and tries very hard at schoolwork and reading. Though the youngest in the group, he is the most modest and has the deepest thoughts. Can be honest and blunt when he strongly believes that something should not be done. Though shy at first, he is a very bright boy when you get to know him well. Followed his friend to an SM contest and luckily won the Best Singer award.
The youngest of our group Choikang Changmin is a crybaby. When his singing goes wrong he cries. But he has a brave side to him too. Starting from elementary school in 6th grade, he delivered newspapers as a part-time job. Changmin is the youngest in the family and group but noone can complete against his singing. His high note is so outstanding that he doesn't know what octave it goes up to. He says that hes worries that if he knows it might interrupt his singing. Changmin is a quiet person and doesn't talk very much. In an interview, he only says 2 or 3 things in the end. Changmin is a clear person who reads the Harry Potter Series and tells everyone about it. He participated in a singing contest and won an award. That led him to be a singer but before that he was regular student.
Max was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. He has two younger sisters, Shim Sooyeon and Shim Gi-yeon. He joined SM Entertainment by winning the best singer and best artist award in SM Entertainment's 6th Annual Youth Competition, a talent search conducted annually by the talent agency. He debuted with TVXQ in 2003 performing the group's debut song "Hug" on SBS network's BoA and Britney Spears showcase special.
Apart from his contribution in musical activities with TVXQ, Max has also participated in solo projects. In 2007, he wrote the lyrics to the track "Evergreen" which was composed by fellow band member Micky and included in SM Town's compilation album 2007 Winter SMTown - Only Love. In 2008, he wrote the Korean lyrics to "Love In The Ice" for the group's 4th Korean album Mirotic. In the same year, Max also sang his Japanese solo track "Wild Soul" for TVXQ's 17th Japanese single of the TRICK project, Two Hearts/Wild Soul.
In 2006, Max starred with TVXQ in the miniseries Vacation which had a special premiere and screening at the main auditorium of Yonsei University. He appeared in the episode "Beautiful Life" alongside Xiah. They also participated in a number of episodes of Banjun Drama, a popular minidrama series aired on SBS network. He was also the first choice in the drama Snow Flower, but was replaced by Kim Ki Bum due to the hectic schedule of the TVXQ members. In 2009, Max was cast in the drama series "Paradise Ranch".

How I Met TVXQ

The first time they caught my attention they were actors in some Korean drama called Banjun Theater.
They were amazingly entertaining and I instantly liked them...
During that time there are other things that occupied my mind so I eventually lost interest in them
Months passed and fate made its move.
A friend of mine that I haven't seen for a long time mistakenly sent me a message that mentioned something about a group called DBSK.
The message wasn't intended for me but for some other person who has the same name as mine.
The name DBSK was so familiar that I tried to recall where I've heard or seen that name.
That same friend introduced to me a song called "Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou", the longest song title I've ever heard.
In English it means "Why did I end up falling for you."
I saw the music video of that song and seeing their faces made me recall everything.
Being a music lover I fell in love with that song instantly.
What made them more amazing to me is that they could speak Japanese so fluently.
And that's when I started to become a fan.
I saw different images of TVXQ
With "Balloons" I saw a cute TVXQ

With "Mirotic" I saw a sexy TVXQ

With "Love in the Ice" I saw a loving and caring TVXQ

With "Summer Dream" I saw a happy TVXQ

I want to see more of TVXQ in the future that I haven't seen in the past
I love it when they joke and mess around like little kids

I love it every time they sing and face each other as they do
I love how their voices can sound so good together that even if only one voice is missing it won't sound as good

I love it when they dance together

I love their live performances and the fact that around 90% of the time they perform they do it live

I love to see them receive awards because they always go on the stage together

November 21, 2009
Mnet Asian Music Awards 2009
TVXQ won the Best Asia Star Award
They won so I should be happy but no...
I feel like crying because right there on the stage stood three of the members...
just the three of them...

Then Jaejoong said, "I don't know if they are watching this or not... But just in case they are... I would like to tell those two friends that I love them"
It was new year's eve. I was watching television while waiting for the year 2010 to come.
I switched the channel to NHK and saw a jpop group that I'm familiar with.
Later I realized that the show was called Kouhaku, an event that happens every new year's eve where all the big artists in Japan performs.
I waited a little more hoping to see the five guys that I adore. And I did...
I saw them sing "Stand by U" that night.
It was so unexpected that I was so happy to see them and that I didn't realize the pain they were feeling at that time. I didn't notice the unhappiness emanating from Tohoshinki in that performance. And I had no idea that that live performance will probably be their last.
At that time I already know about the law suit but I didn't realize the seriousness of it.
I searched the net and I was able to watch that performance again.
And then I finally noticed.
In the Secret Code Concert before the law suit I saw a radiant TVXQ.
In Kouhaku after the law suit I saw a mournful TVXQ.
"Stand by U" is a sad ballad but their performance in Kouhaku made it even more mournful than it was supposed to be.
I can see how these five guys matured during the past year...
Xiah Junsu
He's so funny and he always wear a bright smile that even though he's not doing anything... by just looking at him I find myself laughing for no reason

Lately, he released a single entitled Intoxication and after that...
Gone all his cute image that he's been trying to put up for so long...
Micky Yoochun
He cries easily...

laughs easily..

That's the Micky Yoochun I know before...
During the Thanksgiving live in Tokyo Dome
He did not shed a tear
That's the Micky Yoochun now...
Yeongwoong Jaejoong
He has such a pretty face that I always want to stare at him and such a beautiful voice that makes me always want to listen to his songs

Before he said, "Our friendship is stronger than most people because we talk and breathe in the same room and we eat and sleep in the same place..."
But now he said, "The relationship between the members is good but if TVXQ is what destroys it then TVXQ is not needed."
Choikang Changmin
He always hide his feelings inside of him. While the others cry he will put up a smile on his face and say thanks to the fans.

He's maybe the youngest but he's the most matured.
November 15, 2008. During the 2008 MKMF when MIROTIC won the Album of the Year Award... Changmin, who never cries in front of the fans, cried for the first time.

U-know Yunho
A good hardworking leader. I've always believed TVXQ doesn't need a leader. Every member knows their roles and are amazing on their own.
But right now... Right now Leader-sshi is most needed...

It was definitely fate that made me able to meet them.
It was music that made me fall in love with them.
By singing their songs I also learned how to sing from the heart...
By being so dorky they made me laugh so many times...
Through their heartbreaking songs they made me cry so many times...
Crying while listening to their songs is ok
But crying because I miss them so much is not.
It's alright to cry if these tears are because of "Love in the Ice", "Saranga Uljima", "Jigeum Cheoreom", "White lie", "Afterglow", "Wasurenaide" or "Proud"
It's alright to cry if it means their feelings reach my heart as I listen to them singing those songs
But this tears from my eyes are not because of that...
This tears are because I miss them so much...
This tears are because even though I say I'LL ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH the truth is I'm so tired of waiting
And as time passes by it feels like that FAITH fades little by little...
And I'm scared that instead of hearing news like "TVXQ are going to release their next album..." I will hear something like "TVXQ announced their official disbandment"
I'm scared that their "Stand by U" Kouhako performance will be their last live performance as TVXQ
I'm scared that I wouldn't be able to see them in a live stage again
Cassiopeia fights for TVXQ
December, 2009 - Flash mob where Cassies danced Mirotic and Balloons in front of SM Entertainment building in Seoul
2009 up to present - boycott. Cassies stopped buying Dong Bang Shin Ki's album to prevent SME from earning more than they deserve.
July 4, 2010 - Worldwide flash mob. Cassies around the world danced to TVXQ's songs in different countries at the same time.
Big East made Tohoshinki number 1 in japan charts by buying Best Selection 2010, Break Out, Toki wo Tomete and A-side and B-side Collection album.
Cassiopeia is staying strong but we do get tired too...
All we have right now is TVXQ's promise
Shanghai Concert October 2, 2009
"The 5 of us will never part."
-Yunho-
All we can do right now is believe in that promise... wait...
And continue to love them even more than what we do now.

FATE is what introduced me to TVXQ
And FAITH is something that I'm going to keep for the sake of those five people that I adore and I love.
No matter how tired I am...
Tuesday, July 6, 2010
Mnet Asian Music Awards 2009
November 21, 2009
Mnet Asian Music Awards 2009
TVXQ won the Best Asia Star Award
Only three members came to recieve it
"I don't know if they are watching this or not...
But just in case they are
I would like to tell those two friends that I love them"
-Jaejoong-
It breaks my heart to see them like this...

Another Sleepness Night
The reason I'm crying is because of these five guys named Junsu, Yoochun, Jaejoong, Changmin, and Yunho...

I've read some poems written by some Cassiopeia...
This one is titled, "Next lifetime... let's not have TVXQ"
http://www.dbsknights.net/2010/06/fanaccount-next-life-lets-not-have-tvxq_25.html
A lifetime without TVXQ doesn't seem to be a good one but I'm willing to let them go if that means happiness for those five guys that I like so much.
I miss them
Really...
I listen to their songs 24/7 and yet I still miss them
I always get depressed about all these things that's been happening but I don't usually cry
However after reading this I suddenly found myself crying.
This was written by a Dong Bang Shin Ki fan (東方神起 fans are called Cassiopeia and I consider myself as one)
“A Promise”
In my next life, I’ll no longer love you.
Because in my next life, I will no longer be a Cassiopeia
In my next life, there will be no Cassiopeia, no DongBangShinKi.
In my next life, I hope you ‘ll only have your real names:
Jung YunHo
Kim JaeJoong
Park Yoochun
Kim JunSu
Shim ChangMin
No more U-Know YunHO
No more YongWoong JaeJoong
No more Micky YooChun
No more Xiah Junsu
No more Choikang ChangMin
Only left
the common Jung YunHo
the happy Kim JaeJoong
the cheerful Park YooChun
the cutie Kim Junsu
the genius Shim ChangMin
only those names left…
no longer the group,
DONGBANGSHINKI
For the DongBangShinKi, one lifetime is enough.
Let all the love, all the passion be exhausted by this lifetime.
No leftover; useless once expired.
In your next life, please be just
Jung YunHo
Kim JaeJoong
Park Yoochun
Kim Junsu
Shim ChangMin
Be the Jung YunHo who only belongs to yourself;
the Park Yoochun who only belongs to your parents;
the Kim JaeJoong who only belongs to your sisters;
the Kim Junsu who only belongs to your friends:
the Shim ChangMin who only belongs to your loved one.
No more DongBangShinKi,
No more large crowd of fans surrounding you,
No more bodyguards,
No more revolting reports by the silly media.
You can be free to do the things you want to do,
free to love the ones you love.
In the spring,
you’ll plug in your earphones and stroll along the malls.
The MP3s playing will not be by a singer called DongBangShinKi
Summer,
you’ll walk the streets with your girlfriend;
eat ice-cream; rent a yacht; watch Nottinghill, Titanic
Autumn,
you’ll watch a concert with your family.
The shining star on stage will be someone else,
no longer a group called DongBangShinKi
Christmas,
you’ll hold your girlfriend’s hand and stroll through Myeongdong.
When the lights go out, you kiss her gently and make that promise of a lifetime.
We’ll do that, shall we?
In the next lifetime, you’ll complete the other dream of your present lifetime,
and not the artiste DONGBANGSHINKI
Then,
you’ll no longer be only sleeping two, three hours a day because of work.
You’ll be able to eat; you’ll be able to sleep
Then,
you won’t have those muscle and joint aches due to long hours of practice.
You won’t accumulate a body full of aches and pain at such a young age.
You won’t say things like “Even if I have to spend the rest of my life lying in bed, that will be ok”.
Then, even when you fall and injured your back,
you’ll be good and put on that cast, lie in your bed and rest.
You’ll no longer have to clench your teeth and finish that performance
because of your promise to fans.
Then, you’ll no longer have to be the artiste watched by thousands;
you’ll only be yourself.
But,
This lifetime,
you’re DongBangShinKi who belongs to the Cassiopeia.
This is a fact that cannot be changed.
And all the Cassiopeia can do,
is love you,
love you,
love you very,
very much.
Because in the next lifetime,
there will be no more DongBangShinKi.
So we’re concentrating all our love in this lifetime.
This lifetime, I will love you well.
This lifetime, let the Cassiopeia love DongBangShinKi well.
Next lifetime,
let you be
just the common Jung YunHo
the happy Kim JaeJoong
the cheerful Park YooChun

東方神起
Tohoshinki in Japan
Tong Vfang Xien Qi in China
TVXQ for the rest of the world...
I think it's so amazing how these four characters could be read in many different ways and yet still means one thing...
"Gods Rising from the East"

Cassiopeia...
A constellation in the northern sky with the "W" formation made by five bright stars. In the Greek mythology it is considered to represent the vain queen Cassiopeia who boasted about her unrivaled beauty.

It is also the name that befits the people who loves 東方神起 wholeheartedly.
I want to call myself this name because although unofficial I know I share the same feelings as those official Cassies from Korea and Big East from Japan.

Micky
Jaejoong
Changmin
& Yunho
It's just a year ago when I met these five amazing guys. A little late I guess because a few months later I heard the news about their possible disbandment.
Other Cassies had been with them since the very beginning while I, on the other hand, supported them right before the stop of their group activities.
I wish I met them before that...
I wish I knew them since they started as TVXQ...
I wish I was with them from the very beginning...
I wish... No...
I hope there's still a chance for me to see them in a live concert together as 東方神起
I hope... this isn't the end.
I can't do anything for the past... for all those years that I missed.
But at least I could still hope for a future with 東方神起 as a group.
Someone asked me why I like 東方神起 so much.
Why indeed?
I told him its because they're talented, they have amazing voices, they can dance really well and they're all good-looking.
A typical answer, I know...
But I also know that deep inside me there is more than that.
I wish I could tell him all the things that makes me love 東方神起 so much but words aren't enough.
東方神起 is like a family.
They cry together, laugh together, always having fun together.
Laughter never stops when they're around.
They're not like any other group.
They were not created to pose and look good on camera.
They don't sing and dance so they could look cool.
They ARE COOL because they sing and dance from the heart.
They share the same dream.
Music is their passion and that's what binds them together.
I've never met them in person but I feel like I've known them for so long.
Right now, 東方神起 is in the brink of disbandment.
As a fan I know they've been through a lot.
I know that they gave up so much to achieve their dream.

I might not be able to see them in a live stage again as 東方神起. I don't like it a bit and I'm sure Junsu, Micky, Jaejoong, Changmin, and Yunho doesn't like it either.
I know I'm being selfish for wanting them to stay together but that's because I do believe that the five of them still wants the same thing. And besides the thought of them going different ways hurts me so much.
It's hard I know and they are going through a lot right now but as long as there is hope, I'll ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH.
I'm waiting and I'll continue to wait and hope for the best...

Which TVXQ do you want?
If someone would ask me why I like music I would probably say "Why wouldn't I?" There's no special reason, really. I just can't live without music.
But after I met TVXQ I realized all the reasons why I like music.
I found this entry and my eyes started to tear up again...
http://jeeelim5.livejournal.com/37596.html
I don't believe that the TVXQ I've known before are puppets made of lies. They my have gone through difficult times but singing in front of thousands of cassies... doing the thing that their heart has been dreaming of... I'm sure those aren't lies...
I don't want to choose. I'll let them choose for themselves. Their dream has come true, I know. I also know that they will continue to soar even though there's no longer TVXQ. And maybe... somehow... even without TVXQ and especially without SM Entertainment the would soar even higher... So even if it hurts... I'll accept whatever path they choose... with or without TVXQ

Precious Moments



Seeing them together makes me happy...
A long time ago, there's always the five of them together. It's rare to see them individually.
But now moments like these are precious. Because I don't know when they will be back and work together again.
Even if it's just the two of them... I'm so happy

Gods Rising from the East
100509 Yoochun Cyworld Update

how would (I) explain everything...
Faith
In the end, it's scary
expressing yourself, if expressing it made you laugh
for me as well, this path
of revising (my) life
is not something that can easily be chosen
for whatever reason...
Hello We Are...
This was...
Thank you...
Miss this more than anyone.
I watch their videos everyday... Listen to their music 24 hrs a day...
And yet I still miss them...
I don't know what's gonna happen and I don't know what I should hope for...
I want them to stay as one and I'm sure Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, Changmin, and Yunho also want the same thing... But if it's really going to be hard I'm not going to be selfish and just hope for the best.
Until they finally announced that there's no longer a future for TVXQ I'll continue to believe that there's still is. Until then I'll continue to wait for the next album, their next single and their next performance.
If they split up which I know is going to happen in the future anyway (I'm just hoping it's not now) then I'm going to support them individually.
I'll Always Keep the Faith...

My Happiness

Don't always say we have to be happy, you guys have to be really really happy too~!!
-U.know-
Yunho is not my most favorite member. But I feel like crying after reading this. I want TVXQ to be back as a group not because of selfish reasons like enjoying their performances together but because I believe that's what's best for them. So yeah, I'm one of those fans who want all of them to be happy. But after hearing Yunho say, "you guys have to be really happy too" I thought, "seeing you happy and together will make me really happy, oppa..."
That's why...
I'll continue to wait like everyone else...
