On Jan.1, Max Changmin of TVXQ officially became 30 according to the tradition way of counting Korean ages -- by which you become 1-year-old upon birth and age one more year at the beginning of each following year.

He and U-know Yunho -- two years his senior -- are now among the oldest boybands in K-pop and the duo discussed what their careers as 30-somethings look like.

“Having your age start with ’3‘ instead of ‘2’ is...Well, people say that we’re still young, but a lot has changed,” said Changmin during a press conference in Seoul on Monday. “We still have a lot to expect, and a lot that we want to do, but we feel more responsibility with each action we take, each word we say, and each performance we do. And these moments feel more precious than before.”

Yunho said that his 20s were “the best,” but the duo still has the same passion as 10 years go.

“I want to emphasis ‘familyship’ now. Our young fans have now become adults, so we want to be a group that families love,” he said.
