TVXQ′s Max Changmin Becomes a Bowling Expert with Practice

Though he′s become the laughingstock of Our Neighborhood′s Masters of Variety and Sports for his meager bowling skills, Max Changmin has shown he′s ready to break through his limits with a new high.

On June 7, the show′s producers released a photo showing Max Changmin′s new high score in bowling. The picture shows his score to be 203.

The 4 bagger (four consecutive strikes) he managed to score from frame 5 to 8 especially proves he′s going to emerge as a new dark horse in the episodes to come.

The record was made at a bowling alley in Japan.

"He′s been polishing his bowling skills even while he′s in Japan for his performances," the producers said.

In previous episodes, Max Changmin had continuously slipped and fell on the bowling lanes, making him the least skilled of his team.

The producers said about his new attitude, "Max Changmin has been so serious [about bowling] that it feels like lasers will come out of his eyes. Even the producers have been awed at how he practices bowling even when there aren′t any shoots or when he′s overseas. He′ll show the big change that′s come over him in the next game with the Incheon Dongchun-dong Heroes team."

Our Neighborhood′s Masters of Variety and Sports is a show that brings the panels of the show in a competition against ordinary people who enjoy sports.

Last night, Kang Ho Dong wasn′t the only one getting dirty for his new show; Max Changmin also joined in, leaving behind the humanoid to play the dumb idol role.

He did everything in his power to try his hand at becoming the next ′variety-dol′ onboard KBS2′s Our Neighborhood′s Masters of Variety and Sports.

In the first broadcast of the show, which aired on April 9, Max Changmin dug closer to his variety roots, doing everything in his power to stay on the same level as the expert variety personalities Kang Ho Dong and Lee Su Geun.

While trying to guess a word written in ink, he splattered his face with giant spots, while when he was asked to play the spy for his team he gave himself away immediately with his clumsy disguise, and as he learned how to play table tennis he showed he wasn′t really made for sports with his stiff movements.

He was also put down by a little kid when the kid didn′t recognize him at all, and went on to win a ′table tennis fool′ game against SHINee′s Minho.

The singer′s efforts definitely paid off, as viewers have been applauding his efforts and his show garnered high ratings
