[MOD POST] Dongbangdata’s 2nd Anniversary Project

Hi everyone!

So..it’s actually been 2 years since we’ve started this site, and it hasn’t been easy, considering that we’re all busy with work/school/life, but honestly, I don’t think we would have it any other way. Fandom, for all it’s craziness, has been a great place and I’m sure many of you will agree that we’ve all made some great friends thanks to these 5 boys.
Anyhows, we decided that we would like to do something a little special to celebrate, to thank everyone for sticking with us for so long :)

Kicking off today (which is officially our anniversary since we posted our first piece of news exactly 2 years ago!) we will be putting up Part 1 of “The JYJ magazine: The story of 1000 days” translation, and we will continue to do so for the next 3 Sundays, completing the translation of the entire magazine. After doing so, we will be creating a PDF copy of this magazine for everyone to download, and this will be released on 28 April.

We would also like to give special thanks to @ParkYoochunSGFC for providing us with the magazine, do give them a shoutout on twitter or something because we wouldn’t have been able to do this without them!

Thank you everyone once again, for bearing with us hermits of the fandom, and we hope you enjoy our little project.

[TRANS] 130515 Max Changmin’s Unexpected Charm Shines Through In ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety And Sports’

Could there be an idol more charmingly lacking than him?

During the episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 14th, Max Changmin had the show’s viewers in peals of laughter with his unexpected charm.

While practicing together, the members decided to choose a loser for a punishment, and since Max Changmin lost, he was told to buy energy drinks without talking at all while holding the perfect bowler’s pose. But buying drinks without saying a word was like picking a star out of the sky. The punishment suddenly turned into a game of Charades and Max Changmin was finally able to complete the task after a serious bout of pantomime.

The problem didn’t stop here. Max Changmin had to return to the other members while carrying the unexpectedly heavy bag of drinks. WIth his legs giving out under him and falling to the floor, Max Changmin’s slapstick comedy showed the star’s more vulnerable side. Last week’s set of slapstick comedy and this week’s pantomime has everyone wondering, ‘Is this really the TVXQ we thought we knew?’ The lacking but silly charm that Max Changmin is exuding in ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ is completely different from his charisma on stage, showing everyone a refreshing new side of the star.

Though he is not as athletic as the other members, he has created a concrete role for himself. When he lost 11:2 in a match with the Mokdong Ping Pongs, he was able to take this and make a joke out of it, and is able to shine amidst the teasing he gets from the others.

‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ recording a viewership of 7.5% for its sixth episode (Nielsen Korea), which is its highest viewership yet and is a 0.8% increase from last week’s, helping the show secure its 6th consecutive week as the most watched show in the time slot. The program, which promotes a healthy lifestyle by pitting celebrities against neighborhood sports teams, plans to have Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun, Max Changmin, Jo Dal Hwan, Lee Byung Jin, Alex and Ahn Hyung Jun bowling against Daegu’s Weolseong-dong United. The show airs at 11:10pm every Friday.

[TRANS] 130514 Max Changmin Accidentally Hits His Manager In A Sensitive Area With A Rubber Ball

Max Changmin accidentally embarrassed his manager.

During the episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Our Neighborhood’s Master of Variety and Sports’ that aired on the 14th of May, the members were seen practicing ahead of their next competition.

Max Changmin, who was in Japan because of TVXQ’s overseas activities, was seen practicing hard in Japan. In a rehearsal room that wasn’t properly set up, Max Changmin started a special training session with his manager with a rubber ball instead of a bowling ball.

However, Max Changmin had viewers laughing when the ball he threw accidentally hit his manager in his private parts(?). Max Changmin began apologizing immediately as he said, “I wasn’t trying to hit you there.”
