In the 416th episode of JTBC's entertainment show 'Knowing Bros' (hereinafter referred to as 'Bro'), which aired on the 13th, TVXQ's U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, who celebrated their 20th debut anniversary last year, appeared as guests.
On this day, U-Know Yunho and Choi Kang Chang-min were asked how many floors they think they raised if SM Entertainment's office building is 10 floors. U-Know Yunho said, "The number of floors is not important. It is the team that created the support." Max Changmin answered honestly, “I think about the third floor.”
Nevertheless, these two people have no stake in SM Entertainment. Max Changmin said, "Our friends who debuted later than us also got titles and titles. We did our best for the company for 20 years, but we are still just singers. When we become strangers, we think, 'Huh?' He sniped, “SM is doing something wrong. It’s a mess.”
Revelations about U-Know Yunho also broke out. When asked when he felt that Changmin had a different personality from U-Know Yunho, Max Changmin revealed an anecdote from his time as a trainee, saying, "As soon as he met me, he said, 'If you're going to practice sloppily, leave right now.' I just came in." In response, U-Know Yunho explained, "Actually, there were a lot of trainees. The team was set up and disbanded several times. If someone came and fixed it, they suddenly left and I was hurt."
Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul also said that when he was a trainee, he was told by U-Know Yunho, 'If you're going to practice so sloppily, go to your hometown now.'
Also, “When I first came to SM, Yunho and Donghae asked, ‘Where are you from?’. When I told them Wonju, Gangwon-do, they said, ‘You’re from the countryside.’ They said they came from Mokpo and Gwangju, and I came from Gangwon-do. The three of us live together, and I said, ‘This hyung. “They said, ‘I’m using dialect.’ They also use dialect,” he revealed.
Shindong also said that he felt sorry for U-Know Yunho, "U-Know Yunho had just debuted and I had just become a trainee when Yunho appeared in the practice room. To me, he was a celebrity. I was holding my cell phone and took a picture pretending to be on the phone. At that time, his eyes looked at the camera. After that, I was quiet, but after practice, my sister from the training team called me and asked, ‘What did you do to Yunho?’ and I said, ‘I didn’t do anything.’ She said, ‘They say you’re really rude,’” he recalled. U-Know Yunho explained, "I never said anything like that. However, since I took a picture, I just said, 'I think a picture was taken. Please check,' just in case you don't know."
