Information
Xiah JunSu's vocal prowess (inherited from his mother, who used to be a singer and was also a former Miss Korea) was discovered when he was 12. He trained for 6 years in SM Entertainment before debuting as part of DBSK. Xiah wanted to be a soccer player in early life but after seeing H.O.T perform the song Candy on TV in elementary school, his new dream was to sing on stage. He has said in an interview that if he were to come back in another life, he would definitely come back and be a soccer player. Xiah has always been one of the main and most noticed singer along with HERO in DBSK. He is usually requested to sing on almost every show he goes on, whether he is on his own, or with the group, because of his 'Angelic Voice' as it has been described. He is usually praised for his voice in interviews and on television shows. Among the members of the group, he is also one of the best dancers, second to U-Know, the leader and the best dancer of the group. Xiah has been praised for his dancing skills on many occasions. In November 2007, a commercial was released featuring numerous Korean pop stars, such as BoA and himself which formed the band Anyband. They had released a single in the same month.
Personality in the Group
Xiah's personality within the group has always been the pure and innocent cutie/angel.
In the group, the members always call him the pure, innocent and bright boy (in many interviews throughout his career, the other members always say he is very pure and angelic, always making everyone happy). However he makes a 180-degree transformation into the "charismatic" one of the group, in addition to being optimistic, lively and funny. Xiah is very thoughtful and always thinks a lot about other people's feelings, possibly because of his lovable nature. He always smiles and brightens the mood. The spirit of the entire group will never fade away, no matter how tired they get without him. Xiah is the happiest person among them and he loves everyone. If there are times when something is wrong Xiah supports them with his sense of humor and charm, maintaining balance and order in the group when they face difficulties. Xiah has been known to be made fun of by his fellow bandmates for his cute voice and mannerisms; however, his band mates are usually joking and he laughs along with them. Xiah plays the piano and guitar very well, is very poetic, and also does impressions of fellow singers like Bi-Rain and others. He also has a dog which he walks along with his brother's and Micky's dog.
One of his motivations in his singing career is the unachieved dream of his mother who wished to be a star.
Xiah is amazingly loyal to his family, especially his mother. He has stated on more than one occasion about how he wants to look after her and the rest of his family.
Xiah has even said to his Mom "Mom, you don't have to worry about me anymore. All your hardships are over. I'll make you happy, and the houses that you draw won't have to be drawn anymore. I'll buy you one when I earn enough money. You trust your son right? I love you mom." This was also the first time his mother realized he wasn't a little boy anymore.
