Today (2nd February 2008) Yamaha Motor presents The 5 Gods of the East, Dong Bang Shin Ki as the presenters for the motorcycle "Yamaha Nouvo Elegence" and "Yamaha Nouvo MX". The interview below is from the press conference.
MC: Please introduce yourself
JS: "Sawaddee krub. Pom ruk ma-prao krub" (= Hello, I love coconuts)
MC: Your Thai pronounciation have improved a lot!
JS: "Kob khun mak mak krub" (= Thank you very much)
YC: "Sawaddee krub, Micky Yoochun krub" (= Hello, I'm Micky Yoochun)
MC: Your pronounciation is also very clear!
YC: Oh... Thank you (in english)
JJ: Sawaddee krub, Youngwoong Jaejoong krub (= Hello, I'm Youngwoong Jaejoong)
CM: Sawaddee krub, Choikang Changmin krub (= Hello, I'm Choikang Changmin)
***“大家好,我是最强昌珉”***
YH: Sawaddee krub, U-know Yunho krub (= Hello, I'm U-know Yunho)
MC: So far, you have been visiting Thailand as singers/artists, but this time you guys are presenters. How do you feel about it?
YH: I'm really glad we are here as presenters. For the previous visits, we came to Thailand as singers/artists and get to see all the Thai fans, but there are limitations. But this time since we are presenters, we can approach them right into their home*. So, that makes us really happy.
(* he means the CF will be broadcasted, so everyone who's watching TV at home would be able to see DBSK ^^)
MC: When you knew about this project, did you accept it immediately or, if it takes time, how long did it take to make this decision?
JJ: We were very curious about it because we also like Yamaha. In Korea, Yamaha is very popular for its instruments and motorcycles. So, we were wondering what kind of commercial we have to be in.
MC: How did you feel when you know about the concept?
JJ: We were very surprised.
MC: Which scene in the commercial is your favourite?
JS: There's one scene where Yunho got a call from Jaejoong and I was behind him. When we started filming the real thing, I felt like it's funny and laughed for the whole time, so it took several times to get that scene right. But I was watching the CF just now and it's not there anymore (laugh).
MC: If the members really disappeared, would you really go searching for them?
DBSK : Of course we will.
YH: And when we found them, there has to be some delicious food for us as well. (dorky Yunho XD)
MC: Were there any problems while you are shooting the CF?
JJ: There's one part where Changmin and I were having a massage and we have to act like it was really painful, but in reality, it didn't hurt at all. So, we really have to try our best.
MC: I was watching the CF just now, you really looked as if you're in pain!
JJ: Really?
MC: Your acting is great. Do you know that Thai massage is amazing?
DBSK: Oh~~~ We also like Thai massage.
MC: Isn't it very hot here in Thailand? How do you relax when you are really exhausted?
YH: We are not really bothered by the hot weather because Yamaha's staff and the filming crew were taking care of us really well, so we don't feel hot at all (^^ aw.. he's so sweet). We relaxed during the breaks by riding the real motorcyles. We really enjoy ourselves... really like it.
