TVXQ's Yunho opened up about the 'lesson meme' that even he found surprising.
On the 15th, a video titled "TVXQ's Yunho, what is the fourth lesson that everyone from reporters to the snack stand lady to anyone and everyone knows except him?" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Dongdong Pocha."
In the video, Yunho candidly spoke about the various memes surrounding him and the representative 'lesson meme'.
Yunho said, "I've never aimed to create a meme even once. It was just words my friends tossed out because they were funny that spread and became a meme," adding, "It wasn't strategic." Regarding the particularly talked-about 'lesson,' he said, "I really explained my life philosophy seriously, but I didn't know it would become a meme. It was a bit bittersweet. It wasn't my intention, and I even heard people ask whether I 'used viral tactics.'"
He explained that lines from his 2021 song "Thank U," such as "Only you know the good things," "Only you hold the sadness," and "don't be swayed by every little thing," spread as memes and even earned the nickname "lesson trilogy." When Shin Dong asked, "Why wasn't there a fourth lesson?" Yunho explained, "In the original song version, candidates like 'endure and endure again' existed. But composer Yoo Young-jin said, 'If it sounds too preachy it becomes light,' so it was narrowed down to three."
He continued, "I wanted to tell my story seriously, so we talked a lot. Isn't there also the saying 'life is best-of-three'?," drawing laughter. When Shin Dong joked, "But your name has four syllables," Yunho paused for a moment and then agreed, "Now that you mention it, that's true," turning the set into a sea of laughter.
