Changmin's Ray Magazine Interview...With a Twist! Part 1

Hello everyone!  I'm back again with another of Changmin's interviews...with a twist!  :D  This one comes from 'Ray Magazine' and is quite long.  Thus I shall have to post it into two sections.  As like before, red will be Changmins' answers and purple will be mine.  Enjoy. 


1. What is your motto in life?
Honesty is the best policy. That is what my parents have always taught me ever since I was young. Whenever I did anything wrong, they'd get really angry if I lied about it (laughs), but if I confessed to them honestly, they'd be okay.  Hm...I don't really have one.  ^.^'  But I guess I can go with "Do unto others what you would have done unto you".

2. When was it that you felt like you'd grown up?
When memories from the past kept resurfacing in my mind. For example, when I meet up with friends from primary and high school and talk about the old days, or when I see cartoons and toys that remind me of the past.  Aw, Changmin.  It's okay.  We can stay home on a Saturday and watch cartoons in our pajamas while eating a bowl of Lucky Charms if you want.  But for me, I don't think I've grown up yet.  :(


3. Are there times when you feel like you're still a child?
When I'm with my parents. Whenever I'm with my parents, I'm always extra stubborn (laughs). I don't really speak my mind when I'm with my colleagues, but I'm extremely honest when my parents are aroundYah!  You need to be honest to me too!  As for me, I feel like a child all the time. 

4. Are there times when you feel that you just cannot lose to others?
When I'm truly passionate about something, like work, sports, relationships. If I genuinely loved something, I'd never be able to stand losing, but if I'm not very interested, then I wouldn't mind so much. 
You better be passionate if you lose me.  I'm your best personal assistant for crying out loud!  *lightly hits him on shoulder*  When we play 2-player games, he gets so fierce that he doesn't want to even lost to me.  Man that time we played DDRMAX2...

5. What kind of child were you when you were young?
Cuter than I am now. My skin was like milk, it was white and pale. I was lively, energetic and extremely noisy.  And what's wrong with a little color to your skin?  <_<  Well, I pretty much like him: lively and more talkative.

6. If you had a time machine, where would you go and what would you do?
I'd go back to the middle school days. I want to learn and be in love.  Well, I'd like to find Changmin and become close friends with him.  But there are various other spots in time that I'd like to go back to and fix.   

7. What are your favourite seasons?
Fall and winter.  What he said.  :3

8. What do you look forward to in winter?
Ah… snow.  That and Christmas!  :D 

9. What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
Move and stretch my face muscles. I'll huff a little to loosen up my mouth and then I'll use my tongue to push against my cheeks. I learnt that in my singing lessons. I think it helps make the swelling go away if you do it first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up.  That also helps keep your voice from straining.  When I wake up I just go back to sleep.  Especially if it's too early. 

10. What is your secret to maintaining your figure?
To be perfectly honest, I'm just not the type to get fat. I don't really take much notice of it… I'm just naturally like this… sorry (laughs). I work out at the gym 4-5 times a week nowadays.  Pssh, whatever, Oppa.  <_<  One day that metabolism is gonna slow down on you.  

11. What is your favourite physical feature on yourself?
Eyes. Lots of people have complimented them and I really like them myself. They're not overly small and they don't have to be huge.  You're eyes are really adorable.  =^_^=  As for me, it's my hair. 

12. Do you pay special attention to fashion trends?
Not particularly, but I have my own style. Basically I just wear jeans all the time. Since it's winter now, I'll wear a long coat or knitwear with jeans. I like long tops and long coats (laughs).  Changmin does love his knitwear.  I don't pay attention to trends either. 

13. Do you read magazines?
I read a lot of fashion magazines. If something I see in a magazine catches my eye, I'll go and buy it. I look at girls' fashion magazines too. In terms of books, I read novels, and I don't read any manga other than 'One Piece'  *gasp*  SACRELIGE!!!  I thought you liked to read manga!  Is it because you read my 'Gravitation Megamix' books?  You weren't supposed to look at those!  >_<  And why you looking at girl's fashion?  :o  Are you gonna buy me something? 

14. What type of music do you listen to the most?
When it's cold, I like to listen to slow, mellow music.  Music from different genres, but mainly Asian music.

15. Who is your favourite musician?
Stevie Wonder. Right before this, I went to his concert in Korea. I was so happy to see such a wonderful performance that even cried. It was just amazing (laughs).  Wait...I thought you had another favorite musician...Anyway, it depends on the genre.  I like Maaya Sakamoto, Gackt, Utada Hikaru, TVXQ...the list can go on and on.  :o

16. What do you like to eat?
More to the point, there's nothing that I don't like. I really like pizza and pasta and Italian food in general. I can't really grasp the idea of salted fish… Basically you could give me anything in the world and I'd eat it, just not salted fish.  Pizza and pasta are the way to go!  :D  But I love junk food the best.  Mmm...french fries...

17. What food or beverage would you recommend?
Water. When I'm thirsty, I'll drink up to 4 litres of water at once, especially if I'm sick. It makes your skin better and speeds up metabolism. It's a lot better than working hard to lose weight.  Yeah, yeah...water.  <_< 

18. What's your favourite number?
It's always been 2. You might think this is a really ridiculous reason, but I think 1 is an extremely pointless number. Wouldn't 1 become 2 if it just worked a little harder?  Hm, I see.  But I like the number 8 because on its side, it makes the symbol for infinity.  Coincidentally, Oppa, we chose the number of our birth months.  ^_^

19. Favoutie book?
Recently I've been reading '1Q84'. Although it's taking quite a while, I'm honestly hooked. I think it's a book with such an irresistible appeal. There are a lot of avid Haruki Murakami fans in Korea. I've also read 'Norwegian Wood'  So, you outgrew 'Harry Potter', eh?  I haven't thought of a favorite book because all mainly read is manga anyway.

20. When have you felt the most motivated recently?
When I'm dancing and learning to sing! I'm the happiest when I'm singing and dancing. I feel like I really push myself whenever I'm learning, but I always get disappointed once I've reached my limit.  *mutters* Trying to get him and Yunho out of the company.  *Changmin glances my way*  Ah!  When I did things for myself.  =^.^=

21. What do you do during breaks?
I like to spend my free time at home, in peace. Usually I watch TV or DVDs and listen to music at home. Those are probably the things I do most often. I've always liked peace and quiet. When there are a lot of people making a big racket, I get uncomfortable. I don't like it.  Well, darn it!  I really wanted to go bowling with you.  Or to the amusement park.  :(  But I guess it's not so bad being at home.  You must be stalking those blogs about you and the other members. 

22. Where do you go when you go out during your holidays?
I'll go out and have a drink with some friends. Or I'll just go for dinner.  Dinner with me?  That'd be lovely!  I'd really love to introduce you to my family.  :D  Oh dear!  I'm acting as if we're dating or something.  =^.^=;;

23. Is there a sport you'd like to challenge yourself in?

Bungee jumping. I haven't tried it before but I always feel at peace when I'm standing somewhere high. There aren't a lot of places in Korea that are high enough for me to jump off. I have a really intense desire to jump off somewhere high.  O...M...G...Seriously?  Well, I'll leave you to that.  I like archery so I'll challenge myself further in that. 

24. Is there anything a girl could do that would make your heart skip a beat?
When she's made food and offers me some. If she goes like 'try some!' and gives me food, yeah something like that (laughs). I'm the type who wants to live eating good food, it'd be even better if it were someone who could make good miso sauce*in thought*  Note to self:  learn the recipie to good miso sauce.  Just being in the same room as Changmin will probably make my heart skip a beat.  Or when I make him mad... 

25. What type of girls do you like?
Anyone who is innocent and cute is fine. Since I'm not a very lovable person myself, I think I'm attracted to girls like that (laughs). Oh and it'd be nice if she were a little introverted and very gentle.  So...do you think I'm cute?  And I am well aware of your not-so-lovable charm.  But I'm quite like that too.  So we fit well, huh?  No?  Why are you looking away?  Changmin!  >:[]
