UKNOW PARADISE: [TRANS/PICS] 140820 October Issue of WITH Magazine - Behind the Scenes for Tohoshinki's Cover Page Photoshoot Part 1

Tohoshinki's "Adults' Sexiness" which the Writer-in-Charge Felt

After coming up the elevator of the studio which I always come to for work, (I reached) the 3rd level. At the place which the doors of the elevator open wide open to, Y-ssi of the WITH editorial department was laughing while conversing about something with these young people who possessed fairly tall heights and good physique. After going "Omo, they're handsome~" and passing them by, I belatedly realized who they were "Oh!~" and returned hurriedly and took a look again, and those people were, without any doubt, the 2 members of Tohoshinki!! Compared to the previous occasion when they did an interview during "Tone", isn't the relaxed photoshoot atmosphere much more adult-like / mature?

This day was the day for doing the photoshoot and interview which they made time for amidst the final stages of their Tree tour. In terms of time, it felt like it would be fairly difficult to conduct the interview, which had originally been decided to be conducted after the photoshoot. Editor Y-ssi who said these scary words while smiling, "Because the photoshoot was delayed, it is possible that the interview time will become shorter than scheduled". Unlike the reporter me who was getting extremely nervous on my own while saying "will be it okay, will it be okay, ah ah my heart is pounding!", amidst the atmosphere between the 2 of them who were relaxed, it seemed as if the atmosphere on set also somehow calmed down and relaxed.

After finishing doing up their hair and makeup, the first outfit (cover page cut) presented a natural and soft image. "If we come from this angle, the chest won't be able to be seen!", "Can you guys roll up the sleeves of the shirt?", "It would be better if the distance between the 2 of you is narrowed a little more!" etc etc, the sharp detailed requests from the staff including the chief editor. That too, this too, but this is because the 2 of them did not show any unwilling expressions at all and complied with our requests. However, while going "the magazine has to capture those type of atmosphere or the atmosphere on set!", the editorial staff at the photoshoot venue were also overflowing with energy.

The second outfit was suits. Although they were of course handsome since they were young, because they have now reached the ages where suits complement them to a T, the looks of them wearing suits was really a top class masterpiece which is beyond any description! The smiles captured by the camera, these are also different from the smiles which filled their faces when they were younger, and instead had a poised feel. The sexy aura which they were oozing steadily seemed to take over me, and I felt some form of precariousness for some unknown reason, ah ah ah if I don't escape now, it will captivate me forever! (laughs).

And finally it was the interview. When we asked Tohoshinki, who are welcoming their 10th anniversary, what their goals for the next 10 years would be, and what is the "TOP" which the both of them are aiming for? After listening to their answers, the editorial department all unanimously went, "They have already ascended to this position, aren't they being too strict (with themselves)..." and were in awe on numerous occasions. Having said that, even in the midst of that type of interview, there was Artist Yunho who was playing around by putting the straw into the carbonated beverage handed over by Editor Y-ssi while drawing little doodles on scrap paper and secretly laughing, and Changmin-ssi who reacted to Yunho-ssi's passionate words one by one as if he wanted to conceal his shyness. It was a photoshoot set whereby the ladies were all undoubtedly bowled over by them!
