• Then he bent his legs & grnted a bit. He told us that 수리수리 is more exhausting than Something.
• B4 take 1, YH & CM looked thru the 수리수리 cards & picked the ones they wanted. Yunho narrated the ones he picked-- twoshinki, stage pic, etc
• When the boys got the cards they wanted as props, they got in position, & YH said "We're ready" & we screamed
• Takes 1 & 2 were almost full run-throughs. They played the song all the way thru to keep the perf flow but only filmed some scenes
• Take 1, during trumpet scene, CM found out he had 2 cards instead of 1. He flicked the extra card twd the table b4 the camera turned to him
• Take 1, during the trumpet scene, CM cutely ruffled his hair
• After take 1, CM immediately headed backstage. YH stayed on the table trying to get his breathing under control
• Then YH went bckstge. When he came back on stage he was lightly practicing some hand motions & sang a note
• When he & CM go into position sitting on the table, YH said please stream our song many times on Melon. ^^
• In take 2, when CM did the turn around the table in the beginning his ring went flying off over the table
• After the take was cut, CM went up to the front of the stage and apologized to us.
• He was so apologetic! He explained his ring flew off & he thought it flew into the audience. He asked if everyone was okay
• We reassured him that we were fine & we told him it flew twd the table area on stage. CM was so worried about us. Aww~
• CM & dancers tried looking but cldnt find it. CM seemed annoyed/embarrassed that it happened. He mumbled smthng snarky ^^
• When CM walked around the stage looking for th ring, his expression was like a lost child. He would walk around, stop & sigh deeply
• Then CM went bckstge and put his arm on the wall & leaned his head on his arm. The coordi came and wiped his sweat off.
• Im sure CM felt so sorry to the coordis bc theyre the ones who hv to take care of those kinds of things. Such a cutie~
• YH told him it was okay. Then CM repeated that its fine, but it sounded as if he was trying to reassure himself
• Take 3 was a retake of CMs solo at the beginning at the poker table. YH jus climbed onto the table when they yelled cut
• After take 3, 4~6 coordis were on the stage looking for the ring but they still cldnt find it
• When the boys & dancers came back on the stage, they all reorganized the cards for the beginning part
• Take 4 and 5 were close ups with cameraman on stage. Take 4 was cut early before the dancing part.
• Take 5 was from the beg until CM threw the cards. He did a cute motion with his fingers. YH had great smirky expressions
• Take 6 was a close up of YHs with 3 girls. After the take, the cameraman made an ok sign into the lens Haha~
• While the boys were waiting for the camera staff, YH asked who fans were here with us. He said "Ah! Shinee!"

• YH then again tried to make friends with other fandoms & mentioned that hes excited for Shinees con in March
• Cassies got a little upset & asked when we were getting a concert. YH had to say many times that they need time to plan & asked us to wait
• We said YH was cute. YH said Am I cute? Its scary when fans say Im cute. Cassies were like WHY?! Youre cute! CM snickers in the bckgrnd
• During take 8, CM made a mistake with the cards. When he appeared from behind the camera, he had a very sheepish expression
• He then imitated what he did and it looked like his hands were very shaky. Aww~ I wonder if CM was still flustered from the ring thing ㅠ_ㅠ
• Then YH said our dancers are great right? YH asked us to give them a hand. Some fans said best! Some said unnie are pretty!
• Before take 9, Yunho said "Fighting" many times. He would say "Fighting" and we would say "Fighting" back. But we going back & forth. Haha~
• YH sang the "You match your steps with me..." verse and it was perfect and so pretty.
• Take 9 was a good take. They went smoothly from CMs trumpet scene to the 2nd chorus

➭About 250 here for MuCore prerec. The notice said only 200 are getting in but maybe they'll squeeze everbody in

➭Now inside the MBC lobby. Yay~ no more cold. Another pic of TVXQ fan line up

➭Prerec was 7 takes, no rehearsal, and took about 30 minutes.

➭Boys were wearing a light brown jacket w/ red pinstriped shirt, white pants & vest. Flowers in lapel.

➭Yunho's flower is red w/ a small green flower, Changmin's flower is white w/ a small red flower.

➭Gold & black diamond pattern on the LED background.

➭Changmin's such an old man sometimes. He grunted when he bent down to pick up the mic..

➭The 1st take was close up shots w/ a cameraman on stage. Yunho then asked if the sitting audience could see & they said no.

➭Changmin said there's no helping it & Yunho asked for the fans to wait for a bit..

➭Take 2 was also a close up of the intro. After the take, Changmin was stretching & people started chanting, it's like national exercise,,

➭Take 3 was the string bass part. When Changmin went up the middle, the cameraman didn't move back fast enough & Changmin had to stop short.

➭Yunho is singing She got the something♪ Boys seemed happy & in good spirits but they lacked energy and looked tired. Yunho yawned a lot..

➭Dancers were so cute during the break doing the flying bird hands.

➭Take 4 was the ending w/ ropes. Yunho went down low. 1 of the dancers was using all his might to keep Yunho from falling.

➭After Yunho was pulled back up, the dancers was panting on the stage. Yunho asked him if he was okay.

➭Take 5 was also ending w/ ropes. Yunho was in a good position but was slowly getting lower. Dancers must be so tired..

➭Changmin doing more stretches & the number chant was louder this time. Then Changmin exaggerated his moves..

➭Yunho then told us this was the last Something perf. Then said there will be 1 more Something perf.... on Inkigayo. -_- Troll~

➭We were whining our displeasure at this being goodbye stage & then unhoH asked us how many weeks they promoted. We answered 4.

➭Take 6 was the first non close up take. Run through starting w/ the 1st chorus.

➭Still played the song from the beginning & boys were so cute singing along. Esp. Yunho's Ah hah~! and Yeah! Best expressions =)

➭Changmin was really tired during his solo dance. Making sure to breathe through it.

➭At the end, Yunho was low in the ropes again but dancers managed to pull him back.

➭Back on stage, 1 of the dancers patted Changmin's back & he gave him a side hug ^^

➭Take 7 was another run through starting from the 1st chorus. Was a good take.

➭After take 7, Changmin asked the staff if they were finished by making a cutting motion across his neck. He was very happy when PD said ok.

➭Changmin and Yunho both double hand waved when it was over. Changmin was ready to go but Yunho decided to talk to us for a bit.

➭Yunho did We Are T! & Changmin walked over nodding & clapped his hands, like ok, wrap this up hyung, lets go. Haha~

MBC Music Core Post-Recording [2014.01.18]

After the boys had their pre-recording and live show, they were also doing a post-recording.

A pre-recording is done before the live show and is put on that day's broadcast.
A post-recording is done after the live show and is put on a future broadcast.

I thought this was for the 2014.01.25 Music Core broadcast, but it's actually for the 2014.02.01 broadcast. 

➭A lot of Cassies couldnt get into the live bc of the postrec, so we r watching the live show in the lobby
➭OMG GUYS~~~ the boys perf is sooo cute ;_; Boys are so smiley!!!!! The solo looked like it was from the last take.
➭BOYS WON!!!!
➭We screamed in the lobby and the security guard scolded us, saying isn't obvious that TVXQ will win?
➭CMs FACE T^T BABY YOU DESERVE TO WIN & YOU DESERVE OUR LOVE. PLZ STOP LOOKING SHOCKED AT THINGS LIKE THIS ;_________;
➭Dancers on stage. Postrec starting ^^
➭Post Rec took 1 hour and 20 takes
➭Dancers in black 3-piece suit. Black pants, vest, jacket, hat, with a white shirt
➭The dancers seriously have too fun untangling the ropes. Always shake them and jump around like they're riding a horse
➭While we waited for the boys, 2 of the dancers had a tap dance battle. Ended with a manly hand clasp.
➭Boys mics were on so you could hear YH say "Fighting!" CM mumbled something then YH said "Let's go!" in an encouraging way
➭Then the boys walked out on stage. CM waved to us as soon as he came out. We sang a congratulation song to them for winning
➭Jackets were gray velvet leopard print jackets with black labels. Black pants. Black bowties
➭It was so funny. When the KCassies saw the jackets they said "pretty." Then they were like "WHAT ARE THE PANTS LIKE?!"
➭When they saw they were wearing reg black pants, the KCassies breathed a sigh of relief. Didn't ruin the look w the pants ^^
➭Take 1 was of the 1st chorus. PD said okay. Take 2 was close ups and PD said okay. YH then said Ah, PD-nim SPEED! All the fans screamed NO!
➭Then came the boxing ring part for takes 3~8. Take 3~4 cut early. Take 5 CM was able to sing through his whole part.
➭Take 6 w/o the ropes & cut right after the girl went btwn CMs legs. CM immed lifted his leg way over her so she cld get up
➭Take 7 was a good take but CM didn't put his hand over the lens correctly. So the PD came over & showed him how to do it.
➭CM said "yes, I'm sorry" for the mistake
➭Take 8 was CM's full part and was called ok!
➭Boys went backstage. When they came back out we yelled "Fighting!" YH said "Fighting" back and raised a fist in the air
➭Take 9 YH's hop dance part. Cut early bc the PD wanted him to do "burn like fire" a certain way. YH said "OKAY!" so excited
➭Take 10 was cut early. We yelled “Fighting” and Yunho returned it with a short, loud “Fighting!”
➭Take 11 was a full take of YH's part but the PD still asked for 1 more. Yunho said "Aish" very softly =/
➭While on standby they did a short playback of the music & YH sang along softly. We did the fanchant just as softly.
➭When we said "Hey!" It sounded to me like YH said "ding" but maybe he said "thing." And we were all like "Noooo~ its hey"
➭Later on in the recording, we said "Hey!" again and YH went "hit!" We were like -_- "OPPA! It's HEY!" But he didn't get it
➭Take 12 was YH's hop dance into the puppet dance. Cut bc the dancers didn't put the ropes on YH fast enough
➭Take 13 Look at CM w his smirky self. Cut when YH was slowly rising up for the puppet dance. Immediate cut. YH was surprised
➭CM then went backstage & YH chatted w us for a bit. One of the fans said that he was cute & YH yelled "WHO SAID I WAS CUTE?!"
➭CM came back, 1 dancer showed him his ripped pants. I couldn't hear what they wre saying but CMs face said GO! Get them fixed
➭But the dancer was like no its fine, so they just went on with the recording.
➭Take 14 was the ending with the ropes. The boys expressions at the end were really fierce
➭YH talked with fans before walking bckstge. He asked who came to watch the perf this morning. He thanked us & said something in Satoori ^^
➭One of the dancers almost fell backwards off the stage, but grabbed the PD's shoulder to steady himself
➭Take 15 was the whisper beginning part. It was cut early & YH said, "Yes, let's do that again."
➭Take 16 was good but PD asked for 1 more. PD said Take 17 was ok!
➭Another chat session with YH. He asked if there were any students here. A few fans screamed that they were.
➭One fan said that she was 7 years old and YH verbally smacked her down by saying No you're not! I can tell.
➭Then the fans yelled for YH to speak louder. He said, "Thank you." Tease~
➭Then one fan said, "Yunho oppa saranghae" and he said "I know~"
➭A lot of fans started yelling things at YH. CM came back & fans yelled "Chang~min!"
➭Then YH raised a complaint with us. He asked us why does Changmin get "Chang~min" when he gets "kjdhfhiubvkjna"??? Haha~ 
➭Take 18 was a full run through starting from the 1st chorus. Then YH pointed and talked to me ;_____;
➭GUYS. GUYS. YUNHO TALKED TO ME AGAIN. I TALKED TO YUNHO. IT WAS MAGICAL. ;______________;

➭Convo with Yunho: YH pointed at me after the 18th take and said You were on MuCore's broadcast last week. I remember you. I said yes and then YH asked me if I spoke Korean. Then in Korean I said that spoke a little. He then said "Oh~~" and all the KCassies around me told YH "No, her Korean's really good." I then turned to them and in my head I was like, "DON'T LIE TO YUNHO. THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST THAT!" Then I said "No, no, no." Then all the KCassies knew that I was a Yunho fan and so they were like, "Say saranghae! Saranghae!" So I yelled, "Oppa, saranghae!" Then YH couldn't hear so he was like "What?!" Then I said it again, and he replied "I know~ thank you." Then all of a sudden, the Yunho fan next to me, whacks my shoulder HARD. IN FRONT OF THE BOYS. My jaw drops, I grab my shoulder, say "ow," and look back at the boys. YH was already getting in position. CM was just laughing. His head is down, big smile, and his shoulders are shaking so much.

➭Take 19 was cut early. Take 20 was such an amazing take. The boys really enjoyed the performance & had the cutest expressions
➭In Take 20, the boys enjoyed themselves. The beginning wasn't filmed, so YH waved his hands like a conductor to the music til the 1st chorus
➭When YH did his "all in" "come in" CM was sitting in the chair waving his hands to illustrate "come in" ^^
➭I love the KCassies I was with. They were the best. When YH went back & danced with the dancers (before roundx3), we did the choreo w them
➭YH and the dancers smiled and you could tell they were trying not to. It was so much fun. You could tell that YH loved that we did that

➭After the 18th take, all the fans were yelling "Cute" at YH. Then it was standby so we were quiet then 1 fan said, "Cool!" YH smiled at her

➭PD cut music at 1 pt & said Standby & we cld hear YHs live singing. We went "oh" & YH said "I sing well!" CM then gave YH vigorous thumbs up

➭After take 20, the PD called and end to the prerecording.

➭YHs ending comments were very sweet. He thanked us for coming so early this morning and staying late for the postrec

➭He had us give a round of applause to the MBC staff and also asked us to cheer for the upcoming groups

➭YH especially made sure to thank the Cassies sitting in the seats and other fans for watching their perf

➭YH & CM then conversed about the male fans in the audience & how they definitely aren't Cassies. Haha~

➭Then one of the male fans yelled something like "We are T" or 동방신기 is the best. Or something like that. His words weren't clear but nice!!!

➭Maybe it was one of the Girls Day fans bc the boys showed support to them in previous shows

➭At the end, Yunho did "We are~" T!!!! about 5 times. YH then walked twd bckstge when one of the dancers said "T!" Cute~~

➭Girls Day rec was next. Mina was so cute. She saw we were Cassies & did part of the Something choreo.

➭The other members then pointed at Mina & said "Cassiopeia~!" At the end, she danced TVXQs Something til she was off the stage

➭We went in around 5:15 & we didn't get out until 7:30~. So, I was at MBC for 13 hours today starting with 6:30am check in orz

➭Lots of fans are watching 동방신기 mv 'Something' while waiting for the prerec ♥♥♥
➭450+ fans here to see 동방신기 MuCore 'Something' perf ^^ http://t.co/qqGhKuzev3
➭Going into studio now for 동방신기 to see 'Something'
➭In standing. But inside with other fans, so Cassies are at the back. Maybe we'll switch when boys come out?
➭Cassies are all in standing but Rain is next to prerecording? I don't know why this is so...
➭Aww~ Rain was so cute. He could tell standing sec. weren't his fans even tho we still cheered for him. Rain asked us whose fans we were. We said 동방신기 & he seemed happy it was us. He thanked us for cheering for him. ^.^ We did the la la la~ sing along part & he gave us a thumbs up & laughed. He seemed surprise by our support.
➭Haha~ Rain asked the sitting sect whose fans they were. We said #동방신기. Then he said "Ah. Are any of my fans here?!" Then Clouds stood up ^^ Cassies screamed 동방신기 are waiting the wings offstage. But PD belatedly called 1 more take for Rain. 'Something' perf. is almost here!
➭Yunho on stage first. Side hugged Rain when he walked on stage. Rain slightly bowed to him & said sorry for the extra take.
➭Prerec. of 동방신기 lasted about 50 minutes and took 21 takes.
➭Yunho wore a white suit w/ black lapels. White bow tie, Red cumberbund, 3 sparkly cross pins on his right chest.
➭Changmin also wore white suit but w/ black bow tie, Black cumberbund, Red kerchief, Gold & red pin.
➭Changmin was stretching his legs on stage. He did a squat & stretched out 1 leg then the other. He also grabbed his foot & pulled it up behind him.
➭Throughout the entire prerec. Yunho would sing bits of Something. Really cute & we screamed a lot when he did ^^
➭The boys were in such a good mood. They were so smiley, teasing/playful with dancers & each other, & talked a lot w/ the fans.
➭Yunho greeted us and talked about gwiyomi. We then demanded that he do gwiyomi. He kept shaking his head saying no..
➭Yunho said that he can't do that but then gave in & did the 1+1 pose with the most adorable smile. :))
➭I was in the Yunho fan section and everyone DIED when he did gwiyomi. Girls fell onto each other...
➭Yunho asked us to applaud for the MBC camera staff for their hard work. Most takes were closeups filmed by a camera man on stage.
➭1st take was Changmin's part in the boxing ring without ropes. Cut early. Yunho had conference with PD while Changmin practiced the choreo..
➭Yunho then asked us which song off the album we like. He then listed songs & for every song everyone said that they liked it.
➭Yunho then said that we like everything and we told him that we liked all the songs in the album.
➭The 4th take was cut early & Changmin gave a big sigh..
➭5th take they actually went through Changmin's part instead of cutting early...
➭6th take was the 1st boxing ring take w/ the ropes in front. 7th take went all the way thru Changmin's part & PD said okay 4 that part.
➭More singing from Yunho between takes. ^^
➭Takes 8~10 were of Yunho's hop dance down the middle of the stage.
➭When Yunho was getting into position for take 8, the PD said something 2 him & Yunho said yes, gave an ok sign, & smiled beautifully.:)
➭After the 10th take, Yunho asked us how many fans came. The girl next to me said 600. Then Yunho said ohhh~ & nodded.
➭Takes 11~12 r of Changmin's singing part & going into Yunho's rope puppet dance.
➭Yunho always has the best expression when he puts the mic rope behind his neck and step dances back. I die everytime.
➭The boys went backstage to get water & have sweat wiped away & makeup retouched.
➭When the boys came back, a lot of fans in standing waved at them. Yunho nodded & smiled back.:))
➭ When Yunho was walking backstage, the music was playing & Yunho sang "FLY BABY" when that part came.
➭Takes 13~16 are of the last chorus into the ending with ropes.
➭In take 13, the ropes were a little high on Changmin's waist. After the take he rubbed his stomach where the ropes had been.
➭Take 14, Changmin's waist ropes were lower but shoes were sliding back a little. I thought he was going to fall. Thankfully not. ^^
➭15th take cut early.
➭In Take 16, Yunho winked when he sang the last line at the end. ^.-
➭Yunho then had a talk with the PD. Doing the beginning elbow shot next.
➭Yunho started to walk backstge when we screamed at him. He then turned to us & asked What? ...just cuz ur hot oppa~
➭After take 16, Yunho told us to cheer and support 농방신기's hoobaes. ;_; Almost everyone is your hoobae, bb~
➭Before take 17, Changmin was going over the choreography with one of the dancers
➭Take 17 was the whisper beginning with ropes. Took just 1 take. When PD said it was good, Changmin happily said ok! :D
➭We screamed after take 17 and Yunho went sshhh! like in the song. ^^
➭Takes 18~19 were the playing strings part in the beginning. Yunho still sang the beginning part even though he wasn't being filmed.
➭After the 18th take, Changmin walked over to the PD & asked if they had to do one more take. PD said yes.
➭19th take was good. Boys went backstage for water & have sweat wiped.
➭Yunho came back on stage and sang "Something~♪" We screamed & Yunho laughed like "Heh, heh, heh." ^^
➭When Changmin came back on stage there were a lot of people shouting his name. Yunho then imitated them in a high tone. "Changmin~!"
➭Changmin kept his head down the first time but when Yunho did it again, Changmin laughed.
➭Take 20 was almost a full performance. They played the song from the beginning but didn't actually start filming til the 1st chorus.
➭The boys had so much fun during this take and gave us really cute expressions.
➭Even though they didn't film the beginning part before the first perf. the boys still sang along and did some cute actions.
➭Changmin pointed at Yunho when Yunho did his solo dance & smiled at the end of his solo.
➭When Yunho sang the last line, he pointed at his head & had an extremely sexy smirk on his face.
➭Yunho almost fell forward at the end, but the dancers held onto the ropes tighter to keep him from falling.
➭After, Changmin went over to check on Yunho. It seemed like he asked him what happened. ^^
➭Take 21 was the same as take 20. A run through starting from the first chorus.
➭In the beginning parts, the boys did a little choreo even tho they weren't being filmed. Yunho even did the Watch out! w/ a finger over his lips.
➭They were so cute & smiley during the non-filmed parts even tho they seemed tired. Yunho pumped his fist in the air in time w/ our "Hey's!"
➭Changmin ruffled his hair during Yunho's solo. ^^
➭When the PD called an end to the prerec., Yunho sighed & semi-shouted "Thanks for your hard work". Many bows to staff. Changmin also clapped & bowed.
➭Boys both double hand waved to every section of the audience. Twice. :))
➭Even Changmin took his time waving to us. Both said thank you.^^
➭Boys were in such a good mood today. Seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves during take 20~21. The standing fans definitely felt that energy. We were dancing and singing along to the whole song.
➭Yunho was also very interactive with the fans. Changmin just laughed & nodded at us. But Yunho chatted with us.
➭Now fans are waiting til after the live to have a post rec. Which is a prerec. for next week's show #1

• 4 takes of the intro. After 3rd take, YH had a shocked look on his face after the PD asked for 1 more. He thot that they had it.

• Then they filmed the dance part wo ropes. 4 takes. They had several long discussions w PD.
• CM impresses me every time with his dancing. What he lacks in skills, he makes up for with dedication & attitude
• To me, it seemed like the boys were frustrated with all the starting & stopping takes. I dont blame them.
• Maybe it was just tiredness, but they got this look on their face everytime a take was stopped
• Next was the rope boxing ring scene. CMs close up. Instead of walking to side, they had him walk to the camera & cover the lens w his hand
• Then YHs close up + solo dances. 4 takes.
• Then did the last part of the song + rope ending.
• On the first take, YH lost his balance and fell forward over the ropes. Caught himself on his hands.
• Boys went off stage to be fanned. They looked exhausted. When they came back we all yelled fighting!
• 2nd take was good. But boys slid a little when they leaned frwrd on the ropes. Staff sprayed smthng on their shoes to stop them from sliding

• They did a rehearsal run through then 3 takes with just the dancers. Yunho told them to do a good job. In a friendly way ^^
• During the takes without the members, they only did the intro thru the countdown. Still CM sang the "ooooh" from backstage
• Then 2 takes w the boys then another take with just the dancers.
• When YH went backstage for the dancer take, he said "(Our) dancers are awesome, right?" Then said "Best of Best" in English.
• 2 more takes w the boys. Then they went backstage. CM singing on his throne b4 the 2nd take & YH sang while walking to bckstge
• Before the last Ten take, one of the dancers said something to CM & he responded w the CUTEST smile
