Sources: interview (translated by amourette @ soompi)

1. What do you think it means to be an idol during this generation?
Onew: There are many new things to learn and experience continuously.
Taemin: To be an idol in this generation, to be able to receive so much attention, I'm really thankful to everyone. I believe I should let everyone see the even more hard-working side of me.
Jonghyun: We received a lot of love and that we should continue to *idk*
Key: As we are able to show everyone our own personalities and unique SHINee, I am thankful to everyone.
Minho: Full of happiness. As an artist, I am able to learn a lot of new things.

2. Who is your own idol?
Onew: BoA-sunbae. Sunbae's voice and performance are the best. Everytime I see her strong stage prescence, it makes me want to practice even more.
Taemin: Right now I don't have any model (role-model?), I just want to become a skilled and strong performer in the eyes of everyone.
Jonghyun: HOT-sunbaes! I know a lot about and really like all of their songs and albums.
Key: I have a lot, and was influenced by many. I was especially influenced by HOT, SES, BoA, and DBSK-sunbaenims.
Minho: DBSK, Super Junior-sunbaenims. I want to become a performer as strong as my sunbaes. If i could give perfect performances and work together with my sunbaes, then it would be complete happiness.

3. Of the members, what qualities of their's/your's makes you feel proud/better?
Onew: I am older than Taemin!
Taemin: My age.
Jonghyun: Onew, because I am younger than him.
Key: I'm honest/straightforward.
Minho: Key is our group's parent.

4. If you come to here, then I would be happy; where is that place?
Onew: SHINee's stages. Will you come with us?
Taemin: On TV ^^
Jonghyun: Come to the movie theater.
Key: SHINee's world. Welcome to Key's world.
Minho: Welcome to the front of SHINee's stages.

5. Which movie character do you want to become?
Onew: August from August Rush
Taemin: Harry Potter! That way I can use magic ^^
Jonghyun: Gyun-woo from My Sassy Girl
Key: The Joker from The Dark Knight
Minho: Lee Byung Hun-sunbae's character in My Bittersweet Life

6. What do you want to say to those that want to become a star?
Onew: Cheers! Their dream is really big
Taemin: If you work hard, then everything will be fine. Fighting!
Jonghyun: Don't give up.
Key: My answer is the same as Jonghyun-hyung's, don't give up!
Minho: Mine would be, "If you don't give up your hopes and dreams, then there would always be a good result/ending."

7. During your trainee days, what words made you cry, and what words made you laugh?
Onew:I remember clearly the words that made me laugh: "Your voice is really good", "When you practice, it's really good to see you working so hard" and "When you greet people with a bow, you look really pretty/nice".
Taemin: I laughed because of this sentence: "You will fulfill your dream".
Jonghyun: In order to become an entertainer, I would quietly give myself confidence. I cried a lot, and laughed a lot.
Key: I laughed when my friends said, "You look more and more like an entertainer/artist now".
Minho: Nothing really; I would compliment/praise myself regularly, but also criticize myself regularly too.

8. When do you feel an adrenaline rush?
Onew: When I'm on stage after a good performance and I hear the audience's cheers and applause.
Taemin: When I watch horror movies?
Jonghyun: When I'm on stage and I hear the music start. When I hear the beginning of "Noona, You're So Pretty", I cannot use words to explain what I feel during that time.
Key: When I stand on stage as a part of SHINee.
Minho: When I give a really good performance on stage.

9. The day when you're no longer on stage, what is your other dream?
Onew: I want to show everyone a never-before-seen side of me. I would like SHINee to become even more well-loved and to show everyone an even harder working side of us. Thank you.
Taemin: To travel around the world. To see and experience different cultures, and to do many things in order to gain more experience.
Jonghyun: I want to become a great lyricist/writer.
Key: To be able to stand on a huge stage and perform. Before reaching that level, it is just a dream. If I have a chance, I would like to try MCing, DJing, acting, and other kinds of entertainment.
Minho: When I was younger, I always wanted to become a soccer player. But now I want to show everyone an even better SHINee. But soccer players don't know about/watch Minho's performance...


=====================


ROFL.  Taemin's answers are so cute here.  He wants to be Harry Potter! HAHA.  SHINee talking about what makes them proud is their age....lol.

SHINee challenges "1 vs. 100", Displays Knowledge Way Beyond Their Years

translated by amourette @ soompi

Currently promoting their hit song "Juliette", idol group SHINee went on KBS's quiz show "1 vs. 100" as members of the entertainers team. In this show, they displayed their hidden quiz talent/strengths.

SHINee members Onew, Key, and Minho answered questions regarding traditional proverbs, literature/stories, and current events without any hesitation, thus dispelling the the common idea that "young people are ignorant". During round two, which was a one on one round with Mr. 김어흥, their skills/abilities at answering quiz questions were an eye-opener to all.

Throughout all of the questions, SHINee always chose the correct answer, showing that their knowledge was way beyond their years. In this game show, where one wrong answer will get you out immediately, high school students Key and Minho were able to continue/stay on till the very end -- a result that surprised many.

This episode of "1 vs. 100" will be shown on KBS2TV at 9PM on August 4th.

SHINee will finally debut in Japan!

Just a reminder... because it's just around the corner.

But SHINee just maybe SM Entertainment's replacement for TVXQ, that is if they can't resolve their issues soon.

KJnet officially announced that SHINee will be visiting Japan on the 10th of August to hold a fan meeting at Nigano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo. In addition, a Japanese album is said to be dropping pretty soon.

TVXQ fans don't kill me, but we all know what's happening here... more to come, very soon!

I've never heard them speak Japanese, so I don't know how well their speaking is..kinda wished they focused on Chinese since they study it! :/

I really like how bands in Korea are covering other band's songs. I'm not much of a 2PM fan, but I'm excited to see Key and Taemin!! ^_^ I loved the Wonder Boys and Boy's Generation performances, and I'm sure to love this one. The song's pretty catchy. Wonder who the mystery guest is!!! Hmm...it's interesting how it's always Taemin and Key doing these performances..I would like to see the other SHINee members do them.

SHINee Answers Questions During Japanese Fanmeet
SM Entertainment's new boy band SHINee has traveled out side of their home land of South Korea ( which has a population of 48,379,392 as of July 2008 ) . They went to japan to answered questions from their fans about love, life, girls, food, teenage heartbreak, and their careers. Meanwhile, they also had a meeting with the aformentioned fans.

Q1. Their response when they knew that they were coming to Japan?
Jonghyun said that he was very surprised at first, he never thought it would be so quick before they would come to Japan

Q2. Any members been to Japan before?
The members say that only Minho has been in Japan before. (MC said something about coming after 5th Grade (I think referring to Minho), asking if he had any impressions about then) then apparently Minho paused or took a while to answer and in anticipation, the crowd went ‘crazy’.

Q3. After coming to Japan what is their feelings?
Onew: Seeing so many people support us now makes me very touched
Taemin: (Something) very tasty/yummy (to eat)
Jonghyun: Japanese like to say “so desu ‘ne’”. that “ne” sounds a lot like in Korea, when we reply “ne” meaning yes, yes. (LOLLL)
Minho: Really very happy.
Key: To see so many fans here, I am very surprised/delighted; I have all along liked some Japanese dramas and artistes

Q4: Who among the members is most likely to get married first?
All members point to Key. Key said it’s because he really wants a Key, like a mini Key. The MC said to everyone that he’s still not yet at the marriage age, so to calm down/not to worry.

Q5: Who cries the most
Everyone simultaneously pointed at Jonghyun. the time when most recently cried? Key said that when Juliette was first released/comeback stage. Mc asked Jonghyun something about the crying, and Jonghyun said that he will remember that day for life, the gratefulness he felt /felt touched.

Q6. Who can eat well/eat most?
Apparently it is Minho. Jonghyun and Key resent/complain that Minho eat a lot and eat very fast, but yet his built is tall and will not grow heavy/fat. (LOL ) Onew also explained that it’s also because Minho likes to exercise. MC reminded Minho that after you hit 25 years, to be careful of how he eats, and following that Jonghyun and Minho start jostling each other’s side XDD (So cute, Jongho)

Q7: The person who is the most clean/neat
Minho. Minho said that its he likes to make things neat/clean, but he likes the feeling of neatness. Key said that Minho loves to organize/make neat (and something which I couldn’t understand)

Q8: Most fashionable member?
Everyone chose Key, but Key chose Minho. Jonghyun said that Key is very interested in current fashion and will make/arrange himself his accessories, like today’s rings and etc.

Q9. The member best at studies?
Onew. He was 2nd in his whole school. MC asked him whats his secret and he said “Eat more eat, read books well, sleep well”. Jonghyun immediately that that he also did that, but why not effective? (LOL) MC asked if he had any favourite subject. Onew said he more or less enjoyed almost everyone. MC also asked what subject he is best at then. Onew said it was riding a bicycle. (ROFL)

Q10: The member who wakes up earliest
Minho. Minho said that he only wakes up earlier than the other members by half an hour. Onew said that its because Minho and Taemin need to go school, so not everyone can wake up at the same time and go out at the same time. (apparently Onew did some cute movement here /sangtae and the fans cheered like crazy)

SHINee-Scar

===================
^^It's SHINee's newest song for the SM Town '09 album. I'm not a huge fan of this song...I liked Countdown much more. But maybe it's just one of those songs that I have to listen to several times before I start loving it.

Seohyun and Key are Awkward
On this week's Star Golden Bell, Girls' Generation / SNSD's Seohyun (God bless her soul) admitted to some awkward relations with fellow SM Entertainment member Key from SHINee.

She admitted, "Although we are the same age, Key and I still only use formal speech (Korean has an informal and formal way of talking) when we talk to each other." When asked, Key also agreed, "We didn't even say hello to one other until I was 4 years into training."

When SNSD won a music show with their single "Tell Me Your Wish / Genie", Key said he got a high five from Sooyoung, but only recieved a 90 degree bow from Seohyun. Seohyun promised on the show that she would try harder to get closer to Key and hoped that the two could become closer and become better friends in the future.

This is not looking good for us Seomates. Let's hope Key gets over his fear of the Ice Princess and gets closer to her instead. Seohyun must remain an innocent maknae until she is ready for yours truly.

Stay tuned to allkpop for news on a possible God forbidden scandal.

===============
ROFL. Key always has the interesting stories with SNSD...first he was scared of Jessica, and now he's awkward with Seohyun.

Tohoshinki’s / DBSK's younger brother, rumored newborn star came!
After debuting last year they swept the rookie award and topped in the hit charts.
Korea’s Super Idol finally comes to Japan! Can’t help but support this five cute and fresh people ♪

➜ Press conference that was held in Tokyo the next day when fan meeting on August 10 was made to make it big. It was, and a lot of reporters (almost female journalists) crowded it with a long-awaited visit to Japan.

ALL: Kagayaku SHINee desu! Yoroshiku Onegai shimasu (In Japanese) Hello, we are shining SHINee.

> Please let me hear the story before SHINee was formed.
Taemin: I was done the casting in the town, auditioned while practicing, and passed.
Onew: At that time, the debut has not been decided yet though we practiced together for 1 or 2 years.
Jonghyun: I think it was 2 years before that 5 of us, SHINee debuted.

> What is the meaning of SHINee?
Key: SHINee has the word significance of “shine”, right. We combine "shine" and suffix "-ee", the group's name carries the meaning of "one who receives light" or "one under the spotlight".

> At last, your album “ROMEO” was released in Japan recently.
Onew: It’s wonderful that everyone is expecting. I’m so thankful.
Key: If there’s a chance, I would like to ask to all of the fans what their impressions to our music are.
Jonghyun: Even in the fan meeting, our fans were lively and I felt their passion.
Onew: The first song was “Noona, You’re so pretty” was only released in Korean but all of the fans stood up, hold their pen light, waved and supported us.
Minho: Not only in Korea and our album was also published here in Japan. On top of that, we received ardent support from fans. I thought that I will do my best from now on.

> In the album “ROMEO” the second track recorded song “Juliette” has a DVD, right?
Onew: Because it’s the music that Jonghyun challenged writing songs for the first time, all members expressed inner feelings.
Jonghyun: I have interest in writing lyrics for a long time so I practiced all the time. This time, I was able to write songs and it was good.

> Someday, do you want to write your lyrics in Japanese?
Jonghyun: I would like to challenge someday. But, first of all I should practice Japanese. (Laughs)
Onew: Yeah. I want to learn and be good at Japanese quickly.

> I catch what you said well!
Onew: Just a little (self-conscious laugh)

> Please explain other recorded tracks from the album.
*TALK TO YOU
Taemin: In the album, there’s a story and this song starts to decorate the album.
*HIT ME
Onew: A lover plainly depicted a man feeling anxious for not being able to communicate his feelings well. The more you listen to the song, the more you will like the song.
* SENORITA
Key: This song has an exotic feeling and unique melody. The intro’s rap was Spanish. I studied and did my best. (Laughs)
*PLEASE, DON’T GO
Jonghyun: An orthodox group ballad which until now is not been heard. Onew and I sing a duet together. It’s good to listen before you go to sleep.
*ROMEO + JULIETTE
Minho: Tune that finishes off the end of the story. I think each member’s voice respectively showed their personality.

“Very touched by their noona’s support”

> From now on, please let me hear your impression about Japan.
Taemin: I was deeply touched when many fans came to the airport although it was my first time to come to Japan. From now on, I think we should show more SHINee’s image to the Japanese fans in the future.

Minho: I would like to challenge Japan’s simple meal served before a ceremonial tea. I also like to go to Tokyo Dome.

> It’s good if someday you’ll have a live in Tokyo Dome!
All: OH! (Claps)
Onew: If were able to do live surrounding with such amazing staff members, I would like to challenge everywhere in Japan.

> What are your targets in the future?
Onew: I want to become an existence that everyone will imagine SHINee to be contemporary. We will do our best so please support us!

Such Amazing! SHINee legend

1. They swept the rookie award immediately after debut.
May last year, In South Korea, they debuted at their first mini album “Noona, You’re so pretty”. After 1 month they won the rookie award. Thereafter, for only one year, they won 7 rookie awards! Not just music, they also appear in commercial and modeling and are now active. Suddenly they are included as one of the top stars. They are one of the hot stars now. Regardless in South Korea-Japan, they are not popular to the teens but also to the elder women.

2. The tickets to their first fan meeting were immediately sold out.
They are still newcomers here in Japan, rumors and music were passed the border and reached to Japan! The tickets to their first fan meeting and mini concert on August 10, in Nakano Sun Plaza were sold out. On the day of the event, about 2,200 fans got the premiere tickets and went widely exited. An additional decision was made and they will have their 2nd fan meeting in Japan on September 14 at Osaka Kousei Nenkin Kaikan Hall.

An MTV Iggy Interview with Shinee

Writer Edward Chun scored an interview with Shinee, the latest and hottest SM Family boy-band to capture hearts and set trends on Korean streets. He wanted to get to know the real kids behind the manufactured magic, but things, however, did not go as planned…

The SM Entertainment building in the trendy neighborhood of Apgujeong was rather less than impressive, considering this was supposedly the K-pop version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The drab, faded yellow exterior could easily escape one's attention, and it was hard to believe that behind these walls, some of the hottest bubblegum pop acts were being carefully primped and trained for public consumption.

At promptly 3PM, I was shuffled in to a large practice room, complete with widescreen TV, a few stylists, and five boys who were dressed to the nines and, if I'm not mistaken, wearing base and eyeliner. Something made me feel like this was not to be a live interview, but rather a well-rehearsed promotional commercial.

My list of questions had already been censored by their manager. His reason for cutting out my query into how the band dealt with anti-fans (which he told me with a completely straight face), was that Shinee didn't have any anti-fans…so I knew going in that I wouldn’t be allowed to pull off something like Martin Bashir’s exposé of Michael Jackson’s personal life. Still, the band's ability to reel off rat-a-tat answers, doused with just the right mix of humility and "Awe, shucks, I'm just glad to be here" charm, made my jaw hit the floor.

Shinee masterfully deployed all the responses necessary for a successful interview in which you learn absolutely nothing about the interviewees: It took hard work to get here – check.

We all get along – check.
I was given thirty minutes to do the interview. Thanks to Shinee's efficiency, we finished in twelve.

My favorite singer, who has also served as an inspiration, is [fill-in-the-blank with appropriate SM star] – check. (One member managed to roll off three groups from SM's roster in his answer.)

An obligatory nod to a recently deceased American pop icon as an incredible artist – check.

These kids were clearly pros.

The most penetrating moment of the interview came when I asked them for the good and bad points of being a K-pop star. At first, they couldn't think of any bad points. Later, one member said he missed his parents and liked to call them. Another member then stated that the worst thing was not being able to call his parents enough. A murmur of agreement rippled through the group. I looked down to see that my hand was writing, "boys next door love their parents," happily independent of my brain.

I was given thirty minutes to do the interview. Thanks to Shinee's efficiency, we finished in twelve.

I had earlier suggested to management that we should try shooting video of the interview (hence the makeup). Shinee's manager agreed, but when I later asked for a few candid shots of the members, he turned me down. At that point, I realized that in this stage play called "An Interview with Shinee," I, too, was playing a role and it sure as hell wasn't journalist. I had become a part of SM Entertainment, if only for a half hour, and my character's name was Staff. I was there to promote Shinee, plain and simple, and while I may have first dismissed the members as little boys, that day they showed me who was really boss.
“An Interview with Shinee” is a section of MTV Iggy's ongoing comprehensive special report "K-Pop Uncovered".

SHINee Onew, “JaeBum will definitely come back”

Amidst of the criticisms against 2PM JaeBum, SHINee member Onew comes out to say, “JaeBum will definitelycome back” getting the attention from fans and netizens.

SHINee Onew has recently posted up a message to a fan about 2PM JaeBum who has left 2PM and also Korea on 8th September recently 4 days after the controversy from the revelation of his pre-debut messages posted on MySpace.

He wrote on UFOTown site, “JaeBum will definitely come back, himnae! 2PM is 7 members after all” when a fan posted a message to him “Oppa…What will happen to JaeBum, this is unbelievable”.

Meanwhile, fans are currently on a quest of ‘Saving JaeBum exercise’ after JaeBum left Korea for the states. About 60 2PM fanclubs handed up a union petition on 10th September saying, “Withough JaeBum, 2PM cannot promote on.” And there was an outrage on how JYP Entertainment has not done anything for their idol singers in such as situation.

Meanwhile, fans have displayed encouraging messages to JaeBum on Music Bank today, bright placards saying “Waiting for JaeBum”, “JaeBum come back”.

SHINee’s fanmeet attracts over 1500 fans

Source: UDN
Translated by: hazel @ http://asianfanatics.net
Please take out with full credits.

South Korean boyband SHINee arrived in Taiwan for the second time last night, promoting for their newest mini-album . Back with new dance routines and playing games with their fans, the SHINee fanmeet attracted more than 1500 Taiwanese female fans.

SHINee is scheduled to stay in Taiwan for only 25 hours, and after hastily taking a Korean style lunch in their hotel shortly after arrival, the five boys immediately rushed to the location of the fanmeet.

The scale of the event was comparable to that of their sunbaes, Super Junior, when they were in Taiwan for the Golden Melody Awards, and the fact that fans had started queuing up as early as 4 AM in the morning did give SHINee a shock.

The five members were still relatively shy when introducing themselves in Chinese, but the fans’ high energy during the game was infectious, and Onew even fed the lucky winner a slice of mooncake.

The members all professed that they would be spending the Mooncake Festival (Chuseok in Korea) with their families and will be, according to tradition, making songpyeon to mark the occasion.

South Korean boyband SHINee finished their 25-hour trip to Taiwan yesterday, leaving on the afternoon of the 20th.

Not only did they constantly do the actions, they even complemented the game by saying “Nuna oh Nuna” in Chinese, and SHINee also wishes to hold a concert in Taiwan someday.

SHINee arrived in Taiwan on the 19th, and attended an Azio TV programme whereby they had mooncakes, pomelos and Taiwanese cuisine. The five boys liked the sweet-and-sour pork ribs dish, along with braised pork best, saying that they were very “tasty”.

On the 20th, more than 200 fans flooded the airport to send their idols off. Even as SHINee entered customs, they still repeatedly pounded on the glass to make the boys take a glance back, leading the customs security to remark, “This is just like the zoo.”

SHINee’s Fans Think Key is a Girl??

Today is a great day for SHINee fans all around the world, but it's an especially great day for perverted noona fans. SHINee's young prince Key has finally turned 18 (19 in Korea), and that means noonas will now only go to jail for rape and not statutory rape + side order of pedophilia.

To celebrate this joyous occasion, Key's fans made sure to shower him with enough gifts to keep his mind off being raped by the overly eager noonas.

It's great that they're showering him with goodies, but I kind of have to question their choice of gifts. With the amount of pink plastered on those gifts, I thought for sure that they were sending the gifts to a girl instead. I mean come on, they even got him Tiffany! I guess when you're a celebrity, anything will fly. So for now, I'll just have to hide my secret stash of Hello Kitty plushies in the one place my mom will never look through, a box with all of my life's achievements...I really wished she would look through it once. I even left the box right on her bed, but only to find it sitting next to the trash can the next day.

However, the most interesting gift of all was definitely the mini Key stuffed doll/pillow. I mean, as much as I love myself, I don't think even I can handle sleeping with a miniature version of myself. There's something slightly creepy about that. I wonder, would that be considered incest? Selfcest?

Still, I would like to wish Key a happy birthday and hopefully a rape free birthday.

SHINee’s Key Enjoyed His Break

Now back to their full schedule, Key of SHINee seems he had really enjoyed his time off! SHINee really needed this break.

On top of their recent promotion of 'Juliette,' SHINee also took the positions of MC for MBC Every1's "Flower Generation Boys." After being chased by their hectic schedule, it's understandable that they needed a break.

It looks like Key was enjoying his vacation to the fullest. Now legally an adult, Key decided to take his much needed time off by freely roaming around various shops. This photo below was taken by the netizens on September 9th, before leaving to continue their promotion at Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan, at Ahp Goo Jung Dong, one of the greatest hangout sites for young adults. According to the pedestrians, Key was spotted spotting the members with a cup of smoothie. It was later found out Minho could not be with them due to the Let's Go Dream Team filming.

His unique fashion style radiates the force of a celebrity among the others. A chain headband is definitely not a casual clothing, as well as a purse that has Korean letters written on it. He sure deserves a pat on the back for all the hard work and deserves this short break time. I hope this short break gave SHINee members the energy to force themselves with their busy schedule. Fighting, SHINee!

Thank you for the tip, Michelle! Also check out the SFI Forums

SHINee likes to break things in latest CF

SHINee has a pretty funny advertisement for Oddugi Chips called "Break / Break or Smash / Smash (뿌셔뿌셔)." Each of the members of SHINee take a turn smashing the chips with a special keyword which includes: "KNEE-KICK, POPPIN', STOMP, WAVE, and KRUMP."

I know the Japanese are known to have crazy and outrageous CF (Commercial Films) but Korea are having some crazy ones these days as well. Check it out below, also check out the SHINeee Forums.

SHINee sings Jay Chou’s song without a hitch!

Translated by: hazel @ http://asianfanatics.net

Raising another Korean frenzy with their second visit to Taiwan, South Korean boyband SHINee not only manged to close the gap between them and their Taiwanese fans, they also created the new game , had a vast improvement in their Mandarin standards, and also sang Jay Chou’s song without a hitch!

During their hasty visit, SHINee only recorded one variety show, Azio’s , and the five members were amazed by the pomelo fruit, a necessity for the Mooncake Festival, eagerly exclaiming that “It’s our first time seeing this fruit!”

The programme also tested SHINee’s grasp of the Chinese language, and Minho, who did not speak much during their last trip here, was amazingly the first one to show off by speaking a whole paragraph of the language. Group leader Onew, who failed to sing the complete chorus of the last time, finally managed to do so through hard work and lots of Jay Chou listening.

Being extremely close to their sunbaes Super Junior, SHINee danced the now-famous choreo of as one, and even gave a sneak preview of Super Junior-M’s dance, which has already topped the charts in Taiwan in just two days.

This episode of with SHINee will be shown on the 7th and 8th of October respectively.

Love Encounters for Minho and Taemin on Star King

Warning: SHINee fangirls, please refrain from reading any further!

Earlier, we had an article about SHINee's Minho dressed up as an Egyptian Pharoah. But now, we have an update regarding Taemin's first kiss, which was stolen during the same filming of Star King!

So, who stole Taemin's first kiss?

Well, her name is Ever, but don't start jumping out of your seats just yet! Cause Ever is just a female robot. Ever is the world's first female robot singer, and she also happens to be Taemin's first kiss. But, believe it or not, Taemin isn't the first boy celebrity that she has kissed, because this robot has also kissed TVXQ's ChangMin!

Sigh, this robot's got more game than me.

This episode of Star King was sure full of romantic encounters for our SHINee boys! Minho gets seduced by some explicitly dancing females, then Taemin loses his first kiss to a female robot. I think it's about time I fly out to Korea and try out for Star King. Maybe I can try out as the girl who has got no talent, but is in love with Korean boys, yay!

SHINee Are Boys On Top

As reported previously, SHINee did a modified version of their sunbaenim, BoA's song, Girls on Top and their version are called, Boys on Top as they performed that on MBC's Star Dance Battle Change this evening.

The song lyrics had been rewritten, containing their heartbreaking thoughts towards their pitiful position in the music scene these days. Yes, it's undeniable that boy groups are almost extinct with the non-stop rising of the girl groups. The lyric goes: "Are BEG, 4minute, Ka~ra, SNSD the only ones you care about?~" Guess it's time for fangirls to rise and cheer for these love deprived boys.

SHINee Returning With Mini Album

SHINee will be making a comeback after a 5 month long absence from the K-pop scene.

SHINee will release their new mini album titled "2009, Year of Us" on October 19th and start their promotions.

This will mark their third mini album with their last being, "Romeo" in May 2009. Expectations have gone high after their success with "Juliette", "Nuna, You're So Pretty", "Amigo", and "Love like Oxygen".

This mini album will contain a new SHINee style and show their individuality which will help differentiate them from other male idol groups.

Starting on the 9th, SM will reveal the latest pictures of their newest mini album's pictorial. Their title track is titled "Machyeoteumyeo".

So what do you think? Do you think SHINee has a number 1 song ahead of them or should SM focus on f(x) for now?

SHINee’s Jonghyun Reveals New Album Look

We revealed earlier that the heartthrob of nunas, SHINee, would be making a comeback on the 19th with their 3rd album titled '2009, Year Of Us'. Starting from the 9th, individual photos of the male idols flaunting their new image are to be released to the public one at a time.

We start off with the unveiling of Jonghyun.

He has attracted much attention from the public with his recent change of hair color, which gradually fades from a brown tone at the top to a lighter shade at the bottom. His overall concept is suggestive of a gothic style with a glam&chic look, appearing to be unrestrained and liberal, yet is one that leaves a deep impression on viewers.

Donning a monotone style of clothing, he reveals a novel fashion sense that has yet to be seen in the k-pop scene.

In particular, fans are all the more curious to witness a more mature change in the 5 boys as opposed to their bright and colorful image from their previous album. They also expressed great interest in SHINee's new style of music, as the teaser for the 3rd mini album is expected to be revealed on the 13th.

SM Entertainment sure wasn't lying when they stated that the quintet will expose a new distinctive style that will set them apart from other guy groups.

SHINee seems to be heading for a 180-degree transformation as they trade in their colored skinny jeans for goth clothes. We all know that the boys missed their chance with "Juliette" because they wouldn't stop borrowing clothes from her closet for their stage performances. Hopefully, they will redeem themselves this time around, as the anticipation for their comeback is building rapidly.

Stay tuned on allkpop for the update of the remaining members.

SHINee’s Taemin Reveals New Album Look + Audio Teaser

SHINee's Jonghyun was the first to release photos of their new look for their October 19th 3rd album titled '2009, Year Of Us.' As each does go by, a different member of SHINee will reveal their new look and today's the day for young Taemin.

Taemin sports a look that is radically different than before. With a new hairstyle, he looks a lot older and more mature. The clothing style looks very similar to Jonghyun's (monotone, gothic, glam&chic), so I expect the rest of the SHINee boys to have a similar concept in clothing. Remember to visit the SFI Forums, check out the photos below:

SHINee’s Onew Reveals New Album Look

...and dayum, a certain boy group's leader is looking good. Say goodbye to SHINee's Tofu boy and welcome a revamped and resplendent Onew! I'll admit, I've always been more of a 2PM fan than SHINee World... resident (or whatever fan club members call themselves), but these photos are definitely an upgrade.

Shedding the soft and colorful image from before, Onew is revealed sporting a short 'do and exuding a tough charm that has drawn much attention from the public. Check out that porcupine style, it's like the stylist was going for a mohawk but changed his/her mind 30% of the way in. What do you think of the overall concept, yay or nay?

SHINee's upcoming 3rd album will also include Onew's first solo track titled "The Name I Loved", which blends the common ballad genre with a hint of alternative rock. The song, which describes the pain of a forbidden love, features the artist Kim Yeon Woo, whom Onew has always respected as a sunbae.

Onew express, "To work with a respected sunbae like Kim Yeon Woo is truly an honor and I was able to learn a lot from him. I am very thankful that he was able to contribute to my first solo song and I hope many people will enjoy listening to it."

We now have concepts from Jonghyun and Taemin + two teasers Stay tuned to allkpop as more teasers from SHINee are revealed!

SHINee's 3rd mini-album '2009, Year Of Us' will be released on the 19th.

SHINee’s Coming Back With “Ring Ding Dong”

The five shining stars have been making headlines since they've shed their sugary sweet and colorful look, trading it for a brand new sharp and dark concept. Netizens have been completely drawn to their 180 of styles and their comeback has made many fans wonder where they are heading.

Oddly enough, despite the new concept, the name of their title track reels me back into the old, neon skinny jean wearing SHINee. Their title track off their upcoming album '2009, Year of Us' is called "Ring, Ding, Dong." Inspired by an African congo beat with the typical electronic touch, "Ring, Ding, Dong" is about the moment one falls in love, a ringing echoes in one's head. It seems SHINee's comeback will be a plethora of various flavors! Their comeback single will be released on various online music sites on the 14th and their comeback album will follow on the 19th. Fans should also anticipate their comeback stage on the 16th of this month on Music Bank!

With the emergence of a brand new SHINee, will their drastic change in image help bring them to the top?
