[News] SHINee’s Taemin receives praises for his first ‘Immortal Song 2′ stage.
SHINee‘s maknae Taemin held his first ever stage for the upcoming episode of ‘Immortal Song 2‘!
This episode will see 14 singers cover songs from legendary artist, Son Chang Sik.
Taemin will be performing “At Least Once“, and his stage is highly-anticipated because the general public aren’t as familiar with Taemin’s singing talent.
The maknae has made headlines in the past with his cute looks and dance skills, but viewers are looking forward to seeing how he’ll bring power and emotion to his ‘Immortal Song 2′ cover.
Before going on stage, Taemin expressed that he felt nervous. Yet like the professional he is, he kept that quelled deep inside and only showed the audience a calm and steady performance.
Afterwards, Taemin said, “I was able to sing well because I saw Son Chang Sik teacher’s smile the entire time.” Son Chang Sik reportedly praised Taemin’s cover of his song.
Stay tuned to allkpop for the upcoming episode!

[Fan Account] JongTae Moments.
This fan account was written by a noona from the entertainment industry. Because she likes SM artists so she knew about these things. Jjongtaemer noona sieved out the “Jonghyun Taemin Moments”
1. Taemin fell sick one day during Ring Ding Dong Era. So after practice, Jonghyun went to a porridge shop to buy taemin some porridge. He called taemin to ask him to choose what kind of porridge he wants. Taemin probably fell asleep and did not pick up him phonecall, and Jonghyun just bought 3 different flavours for him!!
2. Taemin once requested that he had a wish - to receive a 3 layer cake for his birthday. In the end, Jonghyun used chocolate pie (or Chocopie) to make a 5 layer cake with candles for taemin!
3. Everytime taemin made a mistake during Live activities, radio show or any programmes, jonghyun will always comfort him behind the camera, telling him that it is alright. Jonghyun will touch taemin’s face to sooth him, even if front of the camera. If jonghyun touched his face, he will reflect where he did wrong
4. Jonghyun can dance well but not as outstanding, hence taemin gave a lot of support for Jonghyun. “Student” Jonghyun said that even though it might be a hassle, taemin often used his private free time to teach jonghyun to dance, and he is very grateful of that.

[Interview] Key's Interview in Dazed & Confused - “The Boy and Monster”.
Q: I’m curious to know what else than vintage interests you these days. What is it if there’s anything that shocked you like hammering your head?
Key: Beyonce’s music video for ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ in which she has a wedding in lingerie. Why is she so pretty? It made me almost angry because she is so pretty.
Q: You were angry?
Key: Watching it, I said, “How come? How can she be so in such a situation?” I get angry when someone else beats me to it when I’m thinking of doing what I want to try.
Q: You don’t mean trying lingerie?
Key: Ah, no, not that one. With Beyonce, we have this powerful image of her. It’s amazing to see that people like the calm music video the singer with such an image made for her quiet song as much as her energetic performances on stage. It means she gives off the same amount of energy in performing calm songs. I’d like to be like that. Supposing people are 100 % satisfied when you dance, I think they are 80% satisfied with slow songs. I was wondering how to reduce the difference, but Beyonce did it! If she doesn’t care and doesn’t feel shy in lingerie, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Who would have imagined her doing a wedding in lingerie for such a slow song?
Q: What do you think is the most important among virtues idols should have?
Key: To know well about oneself. What I can do well and what I can’t, and what people think of me. One can grow faster by knowing these. I try to see myself more objectively.
Q: How can you do it? Everyone tends to think well of oneself.
Key: You can do it by letting other people tell freely about what they think of you. For instance, people may not tell it concerned if it might hurt me. I brainwash our staff saying I won’t get hurt and they should tell me if I went in a wrong direction. I don’t get hurt when I hear those things.
Q: Because you are cool?
Key: Yes. From my appearance to my stage manners or my visual in performances and even to my personal relationship, I want them to check everything. As soon as I get off stage, I always ask, “How was it?”
Q: Do you have someone who you can trust most will tell you frankly without trying to be nice to you?
Key: No one special. I told people around me to tell me so. haha. For example, your hair and makeup look different on stage and off stage. They should tell me frankly.
Q: How has it changed you to hear frank comments?
Key: People say I’ve become gentler.
Q: You were not like that before?
Key: When I didn’t like something, I used to tell people, “I don’t like it,” without any other considerations before. But now I say the same thing in a way not to embarrass them, like a joke. I used to be the type of person that couldn’t bear what I don’t like and had to say it right on the spot, but have tried to change myself after hearing it’s too severe. These days fans say that I look like I’ve forgotten how to get angry.
Q: What was it that you couldn’t put up with most?
Key: Being unable to grasp a situation. Then I used to point it out, “You have no wits.”
Q: You stress wits and sense at every interview. Do you think you have them yourself?
Key: haha, I try to. I don’t know well about sense, but I think I’m quick at knowing how winds blow.
Q: You said you try to see yourself objectively. Then what are your strong and weak points as a singer and dancer on stage?
Key: My best and worst point is that what is my own is too clear. What I can do well and what I can’t are clear. I can do well a certain kind of music and can sing well a certain kind of songs. The gap between what I can do well and what I can’t is not just some but too big. For example, I’m not good at ballad songs.
Q: Uk, something of it doesn’t match you.
Key: I can’t sing such songs that say ‘I love you.’ But I have to sing them.
Q: You don’t seem to think you want to do everything well.
Key: I don’t mind doing only what I like to, but I belong to a group. I don’t think I want to do it well, but I think I shouldn’t do harm (to the group).
Q: ‘Real,’ ‘Up&Down,’ and ‘Electric Heart’ are you favorite SHINee songs. You seem to have the sense to catch stylish songs. Don’t you?
Key: Something like this. To take a girl group for example, there is a member who gets the most attention and is loved by everyone. That member is pretty, but I like this member more, something like that. People who speak the same language with me like the same things with me. We like the same music style and even the same restaurants.
Q: Isn't it you are only seeing those kinds of friends?
Key: My interest seems to be different from that of boys of my age.
Q: You didn’t know what offside means.
Key: I can’t talk about soccer and don’t know well about sports. And my type of girl is different too.
Q: Who is your type of girl?
Key: Kaya Scodelario!
Q: Trusting your sense, I’ll ask this. What do you think SHINee needs now?
Key: Not to be impatient. I think we should do what we can’t do later, what fits us the most now, without considering popularity or money. To do what we can do later and to become more popular, what use is there? It is the most important now to not look awkward.
Q: Do you mean you should do what you can enjoy at your age?
Key: Yes. For example, if you try to look like a grown-up and manly when you look young to anyone, people don’t think you are manly but rather finds you cute. So it’s better to go naturally.
(skipped parts on painting)
Q: When you try something else than music, people may think well or ill of it as a penalty of your fame. What do you think of such a prejudicial view?
Key: Once you mind it, it never ends. I paint because I like it, not for others. If I make a t-shirt, I’ll make what I’d like to wear. I won’t make it thinking, “Many people will buy this.”
Q: I heard you make a promise with yourself every week, like, to read books or to eat less fast food. What is your promise for this week?
Key: Doing exercise.
Q: What is your promise for next week?
Key: To make myself busy next week. I get anxious if I’m not busy. I feel uncomfortable while I idle away.
Q: Your last interview with Dazed was two years ago. Do you recall it? Do you still think same way?
Key: Yes, I remember it all. I have very good memory. I still don’t like releasing a single rather than a regular album, and I have the same ideas as before.
Q: Then, why did you say during makeup, “I should do plastic surgery for this”? Didn’t you say you like your face even though it’s not a handsome one?
Key: I like my facial weaknesses. I have no discontents with what I can’t change. It was just a whining, a joke. I like myself very much.
Q: We are Dazed & Confused, so I’ll ask this. What is it if there’s anything that confuse you these days?
Key: Whether I am an adult or not.

[Interview] 120116 Minho @ Salamander Guru & The Shadows Press Conference.
Watch the video here >> tudou.com/programs/view/PequCvuedS4/
Q: Self Introduction
Hello I am Minho. I am playing the role of a genius hacker in “Salamander Guru & The Shadows”. Please take care of me much (s/n : A courteous way to ask for guidance)
Q: Why did you choose this drama?
Similarly (to the female actress), I picked this drama because of the good story plot and the great director. But most importantly, I chose it because I am able to work alongside with outstanding seniors. Instead of saying that I chose this drama, I actually persisted on requesting to act in this show. In addtion, I received much help during the filming process. Seniors gave me a lot of advice and this really made me happy. This is the beginning and I feel I have done well with my first step. In the future, I will put in my best to bring good works to everybody.
Q: You must have faced some sort of pressure during your venture into acting. Your role in the drama is a genius hacker, so did you find any resemblance to your daily life that helped you in your acting?
This is my first time trying out to act a sitcom since I debute as a singer hence I am really glad to land upon such great role. Rather than saying I felt pressure, I feel that I should do away with it to perform better. In addition, I am really happy that I can be of help to our four members (S/N : I am not sure if he is referring to the cast or SHINee). I also wish that I would be able to present different sides of me through more works.
In addition, since I am potraying the role as a genius hacker, one that is very skilled with computers - but luckily since young, I will use the computer to play games and surf the web hence I did not meet any great difficulties, there was nothing specific that I had to train myself to do. Furthermore, Smartphones have been really popular right? There are many scenes that deals with smartphones - there hasnt been much difficulties faced. My usual self should have helped me a lot during the filming process
Q: Did your members give you any advice or opinions?
When I am filming, other members have other activities. The other case is when I am the only one with activities, they would ask me “Are you tired?”. I would reply that “It is quite cold actually, really tiring”. When I am exhausted and have returned back to our dorm, they will tell me “It is indeed tiring!” (S/N : in other words : “You have worked hard!”) and they frequently cheer on for me. They would also joke around and say “Do you want me/us to buy anything you like to eat?” and also help me. Members to me, are a source of energy.
To add on, because we live together, we always hang out together - this is a source of energy (support). I am sure that I will have more energy (to perform better) when I have activities with my members. Also, I am really curious what opinions other members would give after the sitcom has ended
Q: SHINee’s Minho must be really busy with all the schedules. So how do you keep up your stamina and energy?
Because I really like to exercise, I will exercise whenever I have free time. Sleep wise, I believe having long sleep time can help people replenish energy
Q: Yes, so we have another question for Minho
Along with Ryoo Hyoun-Kyoung beside you, and other actors, how do you feel about seniors acting?
No matter what, as a man, young teenager, female’s stamina are typically not as good as a male. However, when senior (Ryoo Hyoun-Kyoung) was acting, she is full of vitality. Upon seeing that, I feel that I should work even harder. Another thing that touched me was that, even though I had not much experienece in acting, I will watch the other seniors act and “ahh~ so this is how acting is done” and because of that, I have learnt much. Another surprising this is that everyone is immersed in their own role. So I learnt “You should act in this way when you are playing this character” - so in the end I thought of how I want to potray my role. I learnt so much
Q: Ryoo Hyoun-Kyoung, what do you think about Minho’s opinion (S/N : cannot be heard clearly)
Minho-ah, he’s really a fine (gentleman). He’s really well-mannered, he is really respectful in front of senior. Really good. What surprised me the most is that he is really friendly. I never thought he can be like that at this age… and his passion for acting.. really excellent.
Q: Please look at the camera (Request to) Let SHINee cameo/ visit the set (S/N : not sure)
(Ryoo Hyoun-Kyoung) : Are you referring to Minho? *laughs* SHINee members, please come and play, visit us to make our set more heartwarming. Fighting!
Q: Any interesting events that happened during filming?
I heard that Minho really likes (respect) Oh Dal-Su.. so I thought he likes.. but turns out that he really really really likes him. He would mimic senior’s way of talking, actions and even expressions. And he would even perform it in front of him. He is a true fan of Oh Dal-Su. It is really interesting - this brought a lot of energy (motivation/joy) to our set.
Q: This is really interesting.. able to motivate the scene.. giving lots of energy for other casts. Please show it to us too to give us energy!
*Laughs* It has not been completed yet. Oh Dal-Su will check everyday and comment that it is still far from it. I don’t think it would differ much after the show has been aired. No matter what, I will show it everyone eventually.
Q: So we will anticipate your imitation. Now we will hear Oh Dal-Su’s voice. (asking Minho to perform)
*laughs* It’s still far from it (the actual voice). Once I am able to get more than 50% accuracy then I will show it to everyone
Q: Ah yes, what a pity. We hope the audience can wait a while more to anticipate the full-form of Oh Dal-Su Senior imitation. Please continue working hard! We will now continue the interview. Even though he is not here, Lee Byung-Joon works really hard in his outfit. Just by looking at the teaser, we find it really interesting
It is a pity that Lee Byung-Joon is not here. To think of it, Lee Byung-Joon should be the most serious (when it comes to acting). He gave a good performance in acting as a mentally-retarded guru. When we are sitting at the corner, we can really feel that senior has really gone mad.. really enthusiastic. And also, when we are tired, he will crack up some jokes to make us laugh. To add on, his retarded character brought a lot of joy to us.. his walking posture is really believeable

[News] Minho talks about his acting experience in his new situational comedy
SHINee member Minho has been cast in the new SBS sitcom ‘The Salamander Expert and the Shadow Operation‘, and he recently shared his thoughts on being an actor for the very first time.
On January 12th, the singer worked hard to film on set and met with reporters from SBS in a studio and humbly remarked, “I am receiving a lot of good advice from my senior actors,” as he began his interview.
Interview:
-It’s been a week since you began filming. What, if anything, has changed since then?
“It was really awkward in the beginning. I have participated in shorter one-act plays in the past, but its been so long since I’ve even done that, which didn’t help my case. But now, I’m comfortable seeing the staff members every day and I think I have better chemistry with my sunbae actors.”
- What are your senior co-stars like?
“I used to watch movies featuring Oh Dalsoo sunbaenim, and remember thinking that I wanted to be just like him. It’s amazing to be standing in front of him, and working with him. Like a veteran, he always gives me ideas and suggestions as to how I should approach a particular scene. With his help, we are able to enrich the scenes that we originally planned.
Lim Wonhee sunbaenim always says, “Because I’m simple and ignorant”, when I see him. That’s how absorbed in her work he is. He even says that to the director. Lee Byung Junsunbaenim and I have a lot of scenes together, and he really gets into character so much to the point that I really do think he has Alzheimer’s.
And actress Ryu Hyun Kyung who is the only female on set definitely shows that she is a powerful woman.”
- How did you decide on your concept for your character, Minhyuk?
“A chic hacker who also has social phobia. He’s kind of a dark character, so I started wearing darker clothes, too. I’m like a shadow. I usually wear bright and colorful ensembles for stage performances, but here it’s completely different.
And to look more chic than ever, I grew out my hair and toned it down a bit. I cover my eyes with my hair, and try not to make any facial expressions. I work so that, even if I don’t do anything, I’m still communicating something to the viewers.”
- What kinds of things did you feel and realize as you took on this character?
“Minhyuk is a character that’s completely different from me. It’s so weird and interesting how I come back to being myself after being Minhyuk all day. But that’s what makes it fun.”
- Anything you want to say to your viewers?
“Although it’s a situational comedy, I ended up taking on more of a serious role. But still, I hope that I can help the viewers laugh as they watch the program. I saw a copy of Oh Dalsoo sunbaenim’s script before and he on it, he had written, “I hope everyone in the nation is able to relieve the stress from the week by seeing my act.” I would like to develop that mindset and work hard to deliver laughs to the viewers.”
The first episode of ‘The Salamander Expert and the Shadow Operation‘ airs on January 27th.

[Interview] Taemin with Cine 21 on Koala Kid.
- You acted a Koala character. Do you like Koala?
Taemin: I know very well even about its habits. I studied it after I got the role of Johnny. (laugh) Koala eats only eucalypt and acacia leaves and drinks little water. It’s said Koala means “no drink”. Koala sleeps 20 hours a day. It eats or rests for the remaining 4 hours. It lives on the east side of Australia…
- How was it when you received this dubbing offer?
Taemin: I was glad to have this opportunity to make a challenge for a new area. I told my manager hyung I’d love to take it. It’s an honor for me to work with Sunny noona and Yoon Dahoon sunbae-nim.
- It must have been easier for Taemin (to do dubbing) since you have an acting experience at sitcom Taehee Hyegyo Jihhyunnie.
Taemin: I’m not so good at acting in fact. I was at the stage of learning when I did the sitcom. I thought it would be similar, but it turned out to be difficult because I’m not really acting Johnny. It was not like acting with facial expressions, but dubbing an animation seemed totally different. As Sunny noona pointed out, we were supposed to over-act ourselves, so I tried to do so.
- Johnny is a bit timid and hesitant, and Miranda is a strong Koala character. Was there anything special the director wanted for each character’s voice?
Taemin: The director was thinking about what vocal tone is good for Johnny, and after testing my voice, he said it matches (Johnny) well, so he doesn’t have to. I was really lucky. It was easy for me because my voice matched the character’s image.
- Johnny and Miranda bicker a lot and finally fall in love with each other. I heard you recorded this part separately. The scene seems to be a bit embarrassing.
Sunny: I listened to Taemin’s recording. I dubbed over it. When I heard Taemin’s voice, I burst out into laughter. The director asked me why I was laughing, and I said, “How could Taemin record the embarrassing scene.”
Taemin: I did it embarrassed. (laugh) I re-did it after Sunny noona recorded it. The first recording is much more embarrassing than the final one.
- I heard doing exclamations are more difficult than the lines when you do animation dubbing for the first time.
Sunny: There’s a scene where Johnny and Miranda fall riding a lizard like a bobsleigh. Taemin made a 3-tier “eu-ah~” so honestly like “eu-ah~ eu-ah~ eu-ah~”. It made me laugh so much. Then the director listened to my recording and said, “Sunny-ssi, you’re not in a position to laugh at someone.” (laugh)
Taemin: Such an exclamation or breathing is really difficult, and timing is also hard. Breathing is needed for even small details. (lifting a paper cup from the table silently) This is not right. “Heu-ut~” You should do like this. (laugh)
- What is a memorable scene in Koala Kid?
Taemin: Hmm, the ending scene is memorable. There is Miranda and Johnny’s kiss scene. It came out beautiful.
- Do you want to try acting, not just dubbing?
Taemin: Given a chance, I’d like to. It was my dream to be a cool idol who can do everything well.

[News] SM Entertainment to have their own booth at the ’2012 MIDEM’ in France
SM Entertainment, the label that’s home to major K-pop artists such as TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, and more will have their own SM Entertainment booth at ‘MIDEM 2012‘ in Cannes, France.
The Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale (MIDEM) is the largest music industry trade fair in the world, and has been taking place every year in France since 1967. The event brings together musicians, business people, and others from all over the world to “showcase new artists, musical trends and music-related products.”
This year, the ‘MIDEM 2012′ will be taking place in Cannes, France from January 28th to the 31st, and SM Entertainment will be holding their own booth to meet with internationally-acclaimed musicians.
SM Entertainment has been attending the MIDEM for the past 15 years studying the international music market, securing the copyrights of famous artists’ songs at the MIDEM, but this is the first time that SM Entertainment will be opening their own independent booth. In the past, they acquired music samples from Europe and the US, or joined with another corporation to open a joint-booth, slowly expanding their name and presence.
Seeing that a Korean entertainment company is able to confidently set up a corner at the largest music industry trade fair in the world proves just how much K-POP has impacted the world. SM Entertainment is more determined than ever, and they’re prepared to make a break through in the international music market.
MIDEM representatives remarked, “SM Entertainment has been attending the MIDEM even before the MIDEM name carried any weight. Their efforts have paid off, as they’re now able to come independently and open their own booth.”
