“I know what the TVXQ members are grieving over what has transpired recently. This is a real shame and I hope everything can be resolved in a manner in which neither TVXQ nor SM are hurt over this.

(About the legal battle between SM and DBSK) “It’s hard to choose a side and it’s hard to determine who’s right or wrong. I cannot give an opinion about it. However, I believe artists need to stand up on stage. I hope they don’t lose their will and determination as artists. They should be thinking about their fans more than anything else.

Back then, TVXQ were so cool and talented that it was frightening. To see them from that high point to the current situation that they’re in is really sad. At that time I would’ve never imagined that this would’ve occurred.

When Shinhwa can regroup one day in the future, as one, we want to stand together with TVXQ on stage. I really want to see TVXQ come back again.”
