T-Max's overexcited band leader Shin Min-chul tripped and fell at Singapore airport

Instead of the usual regal entrace made by pop idols, T-Max's eager beaver band leader Shin Min-chul shows his goofy side when he slipped and fell on his way to meet with fans at the airport.

An overenthusiastic Shin Min-Chul fell down while he was on his way to meet with fans yesterday at Changi Airport. “I was really eager to meet with the fans yesterday after we arrived. I was running towards them and fell down instead!” he laughed sheepishly.

Setting aside the slippery escapades at the airport, with the overwhelming popularity of one member in a band, one would expect jealousy to ensue.



Since starring in the hit household K-drama series, Boys Over Flowers , Kim Joon, the rapper of Korean boyband T-Max, has catapulted to fame overnight, overshadowing his two fellow T-Max members, Min Chul and Park Yun Hwa.

Speaking to the media at the press conference this afternoon for Seoul’d Out Sundown festival, Min Chul, the group’s leader got up from his seat and pretended to leave the room in mock anger.



“Well that is quite a common question,” he answered, referring to the Kim Joon’s popularity. “To be honest, we are all humans. Yes, there can be jealousy. But we view this as a form of opportunity for all of us from [Kim Joon’s] success.

We hope for everyone to take us as a team. Don’t take us as individuals. Please watch us as a team together.”

They remained adamant about their cohesiveness as a group, despite performing solo songs in their recent single, Single Collection (Special Collection).
