In a broadcast, TVXQ Changmin shared an anecdote with SHINee Minho and Shawols (SHINee fandom), when the latter idol was still in the military. In his story, he narrated how he fought with Minho's fans to send him a letter, only to tease him.
On Jan. 16, TVXQ Changmin drew attention from K-pop enthusiasts as he shared his close relationship with SHINee Minho. In particular, Changmin, who just released his second mini-album, "Devil" on Jan. 13 appeared as a guest on Lee Young Ji's YouTube channel, "Nothing Has Been Prepared."

On that day, MAX asked Lee Young Ji, "Did you watch Spider-Man? I saw it. Aren't you curious?" he asked. He then added a specific hand gesture, saying, "Doctor Strange plays a really important role," embarrassing Lee Young Ji.
While at the topic, Changmin recalled his experience of giving a movie spoiler related to SHINee Minho. "I've given a spoiler before, but it was so much fun to do it once," he started.
But it was not an ordinary way of giving a spoiler, as the "Mirotic" singer even conquered numerous shawols to complete his plan.
"When Minho went to the Marine Corps, he can receive (read) only one internet letter a day, so how many fans would want to send it? But I wanted to send it so bad that I fought against his fans (shawols) and won." To explain, the idol can only read one letter per day based on the order; thus Changmin fought hard to become the first sender at midnight.
Changmin, in the letter, said, "Hi, MINO. It's cold there, right? How are you doing?" It was all fine when he suddenly wrote, "But...Thanos died!"
The TVXQ member continued how he felt sorry to Minho afterward as he thought he would be upset but he was really happy instead.
"I think I'm a pretty mean person," Changmin claimed.
In response, Lee Young Ji playfully expressed her "anger" and said, "What kind of person are you? Can I sue you? You're so mean," making people laugh.
