• YH shared a water bottle with a girl dancer & Cassies DID NOT like that. Neither one put their mouth on it. They just tilted it back

• During the playback, I saw that they filmed a close up of YHs chest when he does the body roll on the table. I hope that its broadcasted *.*
• CM comes back on stage rotating his shoulder. I hope he's not starting to come down with something...
• We waved at CM & CM waved back. Then YH came on stage & went over to the table & waved at CM. We laughed. Silly boy...
• The PD said that they're going to start the take soon, so CM said, "Ye~ah" in English.
• YH yelled out fighting and we yelled fighting back
• Take 2 is cut as soon as YH stands up. So with a pout he arcs his leg back up & stomps it on the table back into position. Why so cute bb~
• Take 2 again. When YH danced on the table, it wobbled a bit. I didn't notice it do that before. During the break, staff came out to fix it
• During CM's solo part where he says "것도 아닌" he tugs his vest & has such an earnest look on his face when he clenches his fists
• Confetti during the final chorus
• When boys were back on stage, director told CM to look at the boom cameras. CM used both of his arms & pointed to both cameras
• We screamed at the boys & the PD told us to stop. We then groaned & CM pumped his fist & said Yes! Then we grumbled at him
• Then the PD teased CM saying that he didn't want to spend time with the fans & wanted to leave. Then CM made an X while shoulder laughing
• Take 3. During YH's "ho~!" part, he looked right into the boom camera with the sexiest expression. Unf~

SBS Inkigayo Pre-Recording [2014.03.02]

Okay. I wanted to write this fan account in a blog format so that I am able to explain everything that happened fully. Instead of one particular tweet being retweeted out of context. 

I would start off by saying that the boys are EXHAUSTED. They've had early morning prerecs that have lasted anywhere from 1 ~ 2 hours this entire comeback weekend. Also, this dance is INTENSE. The more I see it, the more I realize how technically difficult it is.
Plus for MuCore yesterday, not only did they do a prerec, but they also did a postrec. And they weren't able to catch up on sleep because they had to be AT Inki by 3 am for makeup and possibly sound check.
So, the boys are tired and stressed.  =(

This prerec took 8 takes and last an hour. It was also the worst experience I've ever had at a music show.
The day started off normally enough. We came on time for 1st check in at 3:30 am, then had our official numbers, and we thought that we were going to go into the studio really soon. No. Everyone stood out in the cold for about 1 hr and a half waiting for SBS. Most likely because they were still building or were having problems with the set. It was freezing and the fans were getting more and more frustrated.
I mean, normally when something like this happens, they will let us leave and tell us to come back at a certain time. But we had to stand there while the SM and SBS staff discussed it.
We were standing in line for so long, the SM fan staff eventually made a line for people who wanted to go the bathroom.
But FINALLY, we were let in.

The set was really gorgeous. It looked like a golden & white hall. It had a wheel of fortune and double stairs. The dancers wore black leather overalls with a white shirt.
The boys were so sexy-- black pinstripe suits, white shirts, and black ties. Changmin wore a pinstripe vest and pants. Red kerchief on his arm.
 Yunho wore a 3-piece suit, white kerchief in pocket, and a black cuff on his arms with silver chains.

The boys and dancers organized the cards. CM then walked around humming and YH sang a bit.
Before the 1st take, Yunho had us clap for the camera staff.

Then a screen came down with a gold TVXQ sign on it. The screen came down all the way to the floor. So it essentially created a box out of the set.

At first we thought that the screen was only for the intro or the first couple of takes, but the screen was down for the majority of time. Only the last take was without the screen. Take 1~7 were full run throughs or scenes where the screen would go up and down. So sometimes we could see and sometimes we couldn't. The fans were very vocal with their displeasure.

SBS didn't think this all the way through from the fan's perspective. Inkigayo typically always has the coolest, elaborate sets. So they wanted to do something cool for TVXQs comeback weekend, but they didn't realize how it would effect the fans. Because everyone waited to see the boys, but couldn't see them do most of the recording. Only a small number of fans who got into side standing were able see the boys from the side of the set where there was a plastic window.
During the filming, they prob realized how limiting the screen actually was-- it was a good concept, but the reality just made everyone's job harder.

Through the filming of the music show, the staff got a sense that the set was not a good for the fans. So, they complimented us and told us that we were doing a good job cheering. One of the cameraman was filming through the window so that the sitting section could see what was happening inside the set on the monitors.

Yunho and Changmin were also having a difficult time. They did many long one takes and they were dripping with sweat and breathing hard. A whole bunch of coordis came on stage to fan them and wipe away their sweat after most takes.
 The boys had a long discussion with Jaewon about the camera position during their partner dance scene. Yunho and Changmin both insisted that the camera should be in the center and move from Changmin to Yunho, but Jaewon didn't agree. I couldn't hear what he said back to Yunho, but he kept shaking his head in the negative. Everyone was stressed and tense. 

When the screen came back up on one of the takes, Yunho and Changmin were disagreeing over CMs move to get out of the camera frame. So Yunho asked Changmin to practice it again with Jaewon. At first, Changmin shook his head but then he ended up doing it. Then Yunho wasn't paying attention to his practice with Jaewon, so Changmin went over to Yunho, tapped his shoulder, and  said "Watch". Jaewon and Yunho didn't seem to get what he wanted, so he walked away to another part of the stage and back, frustrated.

After take 7, Yunho all the sudden said, "Bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom." The fans kind of chuckled a bit because it was so unexpected. When Yunho came back, he showed how annoyed/frustrated he was about the situation to the PD. His voice was raised and his frustration was so clear in his eyes, voice, and body language. Then we all realized that he said that he was going to the bathroom to leave and calm down. He seemed frustrated with the difficulty of the shoot due to the set, but he was also angry on the fan's behalf. That the set was preventing the fans from seeing them and the boys from seeing us. And maybe like us, they thought it would only be a few takes, as opposed to the entire prerec.
Im sure Yunho got angry because it involved the fans. He gets angry when things happen to others (especially fans) and lost his patience because its something that could have been avoided if SBS just thought about it a little more.

He walked away from the PD breathing deeply and you could tell he was agitated. A coordi noona rushed in to massage Yunho's back to get him to relax, another came to fix his hair, and Jaewon & a few SBS staffers came and patted his shoulders. When he sat on the table and got into position for the next take, he looked embarrassed that he lost his cool and you could also tell how sorry he was to us about the situation.

We all screamed FIGHTING! and Yunho responded with a slight smile and said, "Aja, aja, fighting!"

Take 8 was a full run through without the screen down so it was the first time that day that we were able to see the whole performance. PD called ok!
I'm pretty convinced that take 8 wasn't actually a take or filmed. It was just to make sure that the fans saw one performance from them before they left. 
Changmin and Yunho bowed and shook hands with the camera staff. Bowed to us and said thank you. But after bowing and waving to us, they quickly went backstage. You could tell how frustrated they were and how sorry EVERYONE was about the situation.
SBS staff felt sorry to the fans and HoMin, the boys felt sorry for us, we felt sorry for the boys... just no one came out happy at the end of that prerec.

But then to make it up to us, the boys signed the bottom of coffee cups to give to the fans. Awww~~~ these boys. They are the best. They think so much about us.

After watching the live, I realized that they had the screen there so that the sitting audience wouldn't be in the shot when they did the one take following the boys in the choreo. That's prob why the boys were having so many tense discussions about where the camera should be to film them. They were trying to find a way to put the camera somewhere so they could film the one shot and still let the audience see them without the screen.  ;_;
Why is the editing and camera work so sloppy on the broadcast perf?
 
A few memorable, cute things happened. 
The SBS staff asked the boys to tell the side standing sections to wave their balloons during the filming. Yunho just got side standing excited so that they'd wave their balloons. Changmin, on the other hand, went into a long explanation on how they'll be on camera so it'll be good if they wave their balloons. Changmin even got down on his knees, begging.Yunho smiled and snickered. What a cutie!

The camera kept doing really hot close ups of the boys on standby for take 8. We screamed hard core several times before the boys seemed to figure out that they were on the monitors. Then Changmin flicked the cards in his hand over so we could see the top picture. It was his hat picture from mirotic era. ^^

Jaewon stood behind the camera man for every take and put his hand on his back to move him toward the boys in the right direction. 

During his solo trumpet scene, Changmin was so cute. He shaded his eyes with his hands while looking into the camera, another time he saluted.^^

This was the best way to end the Something promotions. Everyone was happy, the boys were able to finish the prerecording quickly and now everyone is looking forward to their repackage promotions. =D

➭Had official check in at Inkigayo. Moved from 158 --> 141 --> T1-121. Really hope I'm not in main standing.

➭Delayed prerec for TVXQ. I guess SBS Inki staff is late. Then SM staff told us not to jaywalk or go to the members houses in Kor, Chn, & Jpn

➭The SM staffs accidentally said TVXQ will have another recording 2 weeks from now

➭About to go into the studio. ^^ Heres my TVXQ balloon for the last Something stage. =/

➭SITTING! @yoonhwo and I are finally sitting. YES!!!!! SO HAPPY. This is our first time sitting at  Inki.

➭ Prerec took 30 minutes-- 3 full run throughs and 1 extra take for just the rope ending.

➭ Boys looked so HOT wearing a gray suit with blue checkered lines with blue silk tie & kerchief in jacket pocket.

➭ The background was really cool & changed thru the perf. Gold led TVXQ signs, Tense coins, coat of arms saying TVXQ 10TH ANNIV, etc.

➭ Yunho told us the 1st take was a "dry rehearsal" but then the PD talked to him & Yunho told us there wasn't going to be a rehearsal..

➭ The boys looked really happy today ^____^ I think their conditions still weren't 100% but they enjoyed their final Something perf.

➭ Changmin grunted when he got into place for the 1st take then stretched his legs during the standby..

➭ Take 1 was almost perfect. Yunho stumbled a little when he sat down but he wasn't even in the shot so it was still perfect.

➭ Boys were even in the perfect position at the end. After, Yunho asked the dancer who was having trouble holding the ropes yesterday if he was ok ^__^

➭ After the 1st take, a male fan yelled out "you're handsome!" Then Yunho said thank you.

➭ PD then made a pun and instead of saying 동방신기 he said Last Broadcast Shin Ki. Cassies did not like that...

➭ Before the 2nd take, PD said that Yunho practiced hard on his birthday so we all said Happy Birthday to Yunho....

➭ Yunho said that he heard that there were fans from Egypt here. Fans pointed to her & talked to her for bit. Dancers had to pull Yunho into position.

➭ Take 2 had a few mistakes in it. Changmin's feet got momentarily tangled into the ropes before he sat in the chair.

➭ During standby before the 3rd take, a dancer came on stage strutted over to Yunho throwing fake punches. After, they clasped hands briefly. CUTE!

➭ Before the 3rd take, the boys & dancers did a group fighting on stage. TVXQ FIGHTING! We said fighting together.

➭ Take 3. When Changmin flipped the rope after Yunho's puppet dance, it hit one of the dancers hats..

➭ Before Changmin's solo, Changmin rubbed his hands together on the 2nd take. He shook his finger during 3rd take.

➭CM was sweating a lot during his solo dance in the 3rd take

➭ Before the rope ending, when Yunho said Hey! Hey! he brushed his shoulder with swag. ^^

➭ Changmin wasn't in the right position. He was leaning a little to the right so the ropes couldn't support him well & braced himself w/ a hand on stage.

➭ Because the ending was NG, the PD wanted 1 more take of just the ending. Boys couldn't go backstage, so female dancers brought them tissues to wipe sweat.

➭ Yunho was sniffling during the standby. Poor sick bb... still happy & smiley..

➭ Take 4 was just the ending and went well. PD said okay.

➭ Both boys double hand waved. Then Yunho was talking to the fans. Then PD hugged him and carried him off stage.

➭Yunho had a longer jacket. Plaid tie and pink & black checkered sweater vest.
➭Chairs today are white with gold coins on the back.
➭The prerec. was so short! MBC is running behind sched. so had to rush. Boys were already doing the camera rehearsal while fans still coming in..
➭The prerec. was 1 rehearsal + 2 full run throughs. It took less than 30 minutes.
➭During the rehearsal, it looked like the ropes weren't taut on 1 side so Yunho fell forward a little but held himself up with 1 hand..

SBS Inkigayo Pre-Recording [2014.01.12]

Lined up at Inkigayo. Was 80 for check in → moved to 75. Then was 74 for SM staff check in. ^^
Wah~ side standing for Inkigayo! On the right side. Unfortunately behind a machine of some sort. But can still see over ^.^
TVXQ! prerec lasted 1 hour with 5 takes total : 3 full run throughs and 2 cut takes. The set had hanging gold hexagons, flourescent signs on the background screen & a lit up Something sign. Dancers wearing tall grey hats with dark blue jackets and blue pinstripe pants. TVXQ! outfits were so sexy. They wore black pants, black shirt, but YUNHO had a gold waistcoat & CHANGMIN wore a short gold jacket.

YUNHO said, “Oh the first snow has fallen”.. then laughed and followed on “Ah, it’s not the first snow…”

Rehearsal was first. They had red glowing mics. It was really interesting to see the profile of the dancers & performance. After every take, the ropes have to be straightened & reorganized. Dancers flicked them like reins & bent down like riding a horse. One of the dancers broke into a tap dance & Fans all screamed for him. He was encouraged & he jumped in the middle of the stage. TVXQ! looked really tired today. When they were on standby, they looked a little dazed & exhausted.

YUNHO came back on stage and waved to the right side of the stage. Then YUNHO had a really cute smile on his face when he walked over to our side. @yoonhwo said over here to Yunho & he waved at her first~ ^^ Then YH waved & pointed at me & said "TV 나왔어요" "You came out on TV yesterday" Me:ADHSHVCGJXD Ne~
YUNHO ACKNOWLEDGED ME... HOW DO I LIFE???? T____T
@yoonhwo SARAH AND I HAD GOOD YUNHO MOMENTS TODAY AND OUR BIAS OMG

YUNHO then got the mic & told fans not to take pictures & to give a round of applause to the SBS staff for all their hard work. YUNHO said “If people are caught by the broadcast staff taking photographs etc, it is possible that the broadcast staff may reduce the number of tickets given out to the fans by half. Everybody went through trouble to come here and although I don’t know how the system works (of who gets to watch and who doesn’t), let’s protect all Cassiopeia. Please don’t take photos here, there are many other places to take photos” and asked the fans to give a round of applause to the people who had worked hard.

★ Before the 1st take, YUNHO told the dancers that his shoes / floor was very slippery so to pull the ropes tightly so he wouldnt fall. There was a long standby for the 1st take that CHANGMIN got up to stretch his legs & YUNHO rolled his neck. Take 1 was a full run thru. CHANGMIN sang “Neon naegen aju jogeum mojara” very well & jazzy. Ruffled his hair after. So cute! During the takes gold & silver confetti would rain down from the solo dance til the end. That rope was very dangerous. It gets whipped around all over the stage. It was accidentally wrapped and girl dancers neck at 1 pt. After the first take, TVXQ! were exhausted. CHANGMIN immediately went backstage. YUNHO followed but his walk was a little unsteady. The dancers were even more exhausted tho. Sat on the stage with jackets off using their hats to fan themselves.

★ Before the 2nd take, only the dancers were on stage. The blonde dancer was dancing around really cutely. TVXQ! came back for take 2. It was cut in the first 15 secs.

★ The 3rd take was cut early after 1 minute. YUNHO spoke too low but think that YUNHO told the dancers to make intro arm movements sharper & in time with the beats. After the 3rd take was cut, YUNHO had a very unhappy look on his face.

★ 4th take was a full run thru. Everyone really put all their energy into that take. CHANGMIN power charged up the middle. In take 4, they used pyrotechnics when YUNHO said 1,2,3. End of take 4, 1 dancer had trouble holding the rope because he was so tired. His hands were shaking. His face was dripping with sweat.

★ Before the 5th take, YUNHO came out waving to our side first, then made sure to wave to every section of audience. This man…what happened but YUNHO grabbed his arm with a pained expression on his face. Did he bump into the set? Went backstage again. While TVXQ! were backstage, 2 dancers did the Catch Me intro dance with the fist pump. Sooo cute!!!

YUNHO came back out with the blonde dancer, their arms around each others shoulders. While on standby for the 5th take, CHANGMIN all of the sudden headed bckstge. Fans “eh~” & CHANGMIN held his hands up, palms out like “wait a minute” We “eh~” again because we had no idea what was going on & CHANGMIN held his hands out again silently asking us to wait.

At the end of take 5, the ropes weren’t tight enough so when CHANGMIN leaned forward he fell down really hard. It looked like he landed on his arms or elbow. He immediately rolled up and sat on the stage with his knees bent. The dancers & PD immediately went over to him. CHANGMIN looked like he was still processing the fall, maybe wasn’t sure if he was hurt. He seemed fine though when he got up, just embarrassed. The fans were all asking if he was okay. but CHANGMIN said “I’m OK”. The PD gave YUNHO a mic, but he immediately passed it to CHANGMIN.
I thought it was just going to be a ment to talk with us & tell us that he was okay, but CHANGMIN just said that we’re finished with prerec. Then CHANGMIN passed the mic to YUNHO & he said “Good job / good work today!”

★ TVXQ! left the stage with arms around SBS staff & both seemed to be okay. CHANGMIN was smiling a little when he left the stage.
