Singer Choi Kang Changmin, what are your honest feelings about “juniors saying ‘I want to be like my older brother’”?

TVXQ's Max Changmin revealed his honest feelings about the 20th anniversary of his debut.

On the 26th, singer Max Changmin appeared as a guest on 'Sung Si-kyung's We'll Meet' on the YouTube channel 'SUNG SI KYUNG'. ‘We will meet Sung Si-kyung l Max Changmin is the standard idol! In a video titled ‘I had a drink with Changmin,’ Max Changmin expressed his thoughts on celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut.

On this day, Max Changmin mentioned his feelings on celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut at the age of 15. To celebrate his 20th debut anniversary, he released the full-length album '20&2' and released the music video for the title song 'Rebel'. Seong Si-kyung praised, “If I were your junior, I would have thought you were the most ideal type of idol.”

However, Max Changmin said, "Personally, I feel a little happy but also annoyed because when my juniors say, 'I want to be like my brother,' I don't think it's because they truly respect me. In the end, I feel that they are jealous of my current situation." I spoke honestly.

Sung Si-kyung asked Changmin Choi, “At what age did you join SM Entertainment?” Changmin answered that he joined at the age of 14. Max Changmin, who entered the music industry as TVXQ's youngest member just one year after becoming a trainee, explained, "In some ways, I didn't start because I liked being an idol. I did it because I was tempted."

He continued, "When young people go to school, they don't know what they like or want to do. I think they wanted to be recognized by someone because they were receiving intensive education. A casting employee came to the school and suggested an audition, and although I didn't know much, he recognized me and recommended me. “I was attracted to it,” he added.

Sung Si-kyung, who heard this, said, "You were talented and a good artist. You know that, but working hard doesn't mean it works. It's a good fit. TVXQ is a good example of 'this is becoming a career,' and you continue your activities as a TOP. He answered, “For juniors to see this, they will think, ‘You can do something like that instead of just doing it normally and then quitting.’”

Additionally, Max Changmin also mentioned his recent situation in raising his child. Max Changmin, who was tasting the dish prepared by Seong Si-kyung, said, "I like cooking, but to be really honest, I'm raising a child. So, in order to cook, I have to go grocery shopping and study, but I don't have time for that." Sung Si-kyung said, "I don't have time." “I’m raising inflammation. The only thing I’m raising is inflammation. I’m so jealous. I can’t believe I’m raising a child,” he said, laughing.
