Changmin's lead role in Paradise Ranch

After their continued success streak on Japan soil -starting with the Tokyo Dome concert, high sales of Stand by U,Oricon Charts etc - the boys are finally starting to branch out from their otherwise comfort zone of doing things together. First up was Yoochun and Jaejoong duo on their single Colors~Melody and Harmony and next to step up was U-Know, trying his luck in acting with his new drama "Heading to the Ground". And just recently, it seems that our magnae is starting to try out his luck too in acting when he was chosen as the lead role for the drama "Paradise Ranch".

More of that news below...

And there's an ongoing rumor too that due to "solo" activities by the other members, it seems that Junsu would be doing his share too and would be launching a solo album. Hwaiting DBSK!

Frankly, after hearing all this, I did not feel the usual apprehension that accompanies these so-called "solo" activities. I think its hightime for them to expand their horizon and do other things besides singing. It would ensure longevity in the industry and would also enable them to train themselves aside from singing. I know that rumor of them "disbanding" would probably heighten with Changmin now on a lead role as well, but I guess, to each his own. I would rather not think of disbandment issues cause I'm a close-minded person when it comes to them and I stick to the image of them together on stage. LOL

Anyways, hwaiting to everyone for their endeavors especially to my Minnie. Surprised me bigtime, baby. *grins
