Xiah Junsu
Stage Name : XIAH | Xiah Jun Su (시아준수 or 細亞俊秀) Real Name: Kim Jun Su (김준수, 金俊秀) Birthdate: December 15, 1986 (age 20) (registered on January 1, 1987) Birthplace: Gyeonggi (경기 or 京畿道) Position: Baritenor Hobbies: play sports especially soccer, make lame jokes Favorite number: 10-because in soccer that means you're the best and he wants TVXQ! to be the best
The first member to join was Kim Junsu (김준수). He enjoyed singing at his church when he was young. At the age of 12 he was brought into the band through a televised talent search in which Moon Hee Jun and Kangta from H.O.T. were judges. His vocals won over the judges and won him through training for the next six years. After three years of training, he was supposed to debut, but puberty caused his voice to change and he was unable to sing until his puberty ended late after another three years. After six years, he debuted as Xiah Junsu (시아준수; Xiah is pronounced Shee-ah in Korean). Xiah was a stage name that Kim himself chose, explaining to his fans that the name was short for "Asia," as Asia is pronounced "a-shee-a" in Korean. "Xiah" would be a reference to his desire to become not only a star in Korea, but a star recognized all throughout the continent.
There is only one word to describe Xiah: CUTE!!! He is the cutest guy I ever seen in my life. Max it's the younger in the group so his image was supposed to be cute. But in one interview he said that his image didn't last long because Xiah was so cute that he made Max's image fade away. The other members say that when he does a mistake he only have to smile and nobody gets angry with him. Xiah loves to play soccer and he is really good. He also makes a lot of jokes but they're so lame that only he laughs. He has an amazing voice. I love when he does his dolphin squeal. Interview:
Blood type: B
What do you do before sleeping? : “I should make a room a bit warmer or drink a cup of lukewarm water before sleeping.”
Wish? : “I wish all our members are not hurt but healthy throughout this year.”
Deciding to be a singer? : “Many of our fans will know this as well. There was a group that we respected very much called H.O.T. I didn’t dream of being a singer, at the beginning. I used to like sports very much, especially soccer. So my dream was to become a soccer player. So at school I was in the soccer team and baseball team as well. So I’d been always into sports. Then one day, I heard a song called ‘Candy’ by H.O.T. That really stayed in my head. I saw them singing this song on stage. Before that for me singing is… since my Mom’s very good at singing. I naturally liked singing and learned a lot about it. But the moment I saw them on stage I wanted to be a singer. It made me change my dream.”
Writing music? : “Yes, I do write lyrics and songs and arrange them. All five of us write as a practice now. We aren’t so good that we can say it’s difficult now. It’s quite fun at the same time. It’s really fun to express the sentiments in my thoughts with music. It’s cool to make my own rhythm, and write my own melody. I write lyrics with emotions I feel or write a story and then turn that into lyrics. It’s fun to do this kind of creative work. Anyway, I’ll work harder so that you’ll be able to listen to the good music I create.”
Cassiopeia? : “Well, what can I say more… They are like families to me. There are those younger than I am, older guys then I am and older woman than I am. They are the most reassuring and reliable supporters. The one thing we should thank ‘Cassiopeia’ for is filling up the seats with ‘Pearl Red’ when we sing on a stage and at a live hall, applauding for us and listening to our songs. Each and every one of these things is very touching. And they also give us strength. Of course, every time we release a new album, we get exhausted like this but the source that gives us the strength to make it through; I think it comes from ‘Cassiopeia’. So I think they are, as a whole, the most important ones to us.”
Best present? : “When fans give me a drawing they draw for themselves or something like that, I feel really touched. If you just look at the drawings, you see they just draw so well. Like an artist, they’re so good at it. Whenever I think that someone out there was thinking of me, shading and sketching while drawing each and every part of me, it makes me feel so good and really renews my strength.”
Fans in Japan, Taiwan, China and abroad: “I’ve heard that we have fans abroad in Japan, Taiwan, China and many other countries as well. Every time we travel abroad to perform and every time we see you come over to Korea to see us they’re as same as Korean fans. They are really reassuring. It feels so good. We feel stronger on the stage and fell like working even harder. My heart is full when I see them. And my thoughts go like I should keep doing better so that I’d keep finding favor in your sight. Anyway, I’m very happy.”
Miss Right? : “My ideal when I was young… I had some thoughts about it but now that doesn’t seem right. I don’t have an ideal type I wish for, I guess. Rather than an ideal, things like… long hair, wide eyes, a girl like this, something like this the style I like… I don’t believe in that. I like to be attracted at first sight. Aching at a sudden or falling in love at first sight? It doesn’t have to be the first sight, feelings that grow over time. I go for this kind of feelings rather than an ideal type that I’ve already had in mind.”
Proposal? : “I’ll get on a cruise ship. Many cruisers have coffee shops. I’ll get on one of them and pretend we are just on a date. Then I’ll leave her alone for a while. I’ll be in the café inside the boat, sing her a song playing piano. I’m not sure I’ll do well. It’s not that I’m confident. But I want to propose that way.”
Last words: “Yes, now…Another year has passed again and a new year has started. This year I hope that you can accomplish what you’ve planned for or have failed in the past. I hope that you can accomplish all that in this year. And all five of us will be in Japan or Korea and many other countries working. But we won’t lose our first resolution and will stick together and try hard, so I hope you pay attention to us… I hope that you love us as much as you did last year. We’ll really try harder and move forward so that we can show you many things.”
Motto: “Let’s look at the world optimistically.”
