[News] Key speaks up about his hardships during his trainee days


SHINee‘s Key confessed that he cried almost everyday during his trainee days.

The group guested on the April 26th episode of tvN‘s ‘Taxi‘ and revealed each of their hardships they had overcome.

Key spoke up about his hardships he had experienced in order to become a singer saying, “I came to Seoul from Daegu for the first time when I was 15 years old. My skills weren’t improving and on top of that, people kept criticizing and pointing out my weak points so I was very depressed. I used to cry a lot while riding on the train.”

Coming to Seoul by himself, Key was unable to adapt quickly. “When I go through hard times, I need to have a place where I can go back to whether it’s my home or a friend’s home. However, during my stay in Seoul, I had no where to go so it was better for me to keep myself busy at all times.”

Fellow member Taemin then relayed an anecdote of when Key had come over to his house without his knowledge. Key shyly replied, “I didn’t care whose house it was. I just wanted to go over to anybody’s house and ended up going to Taemin’s, but he wasn’t home at that time. I ended up waiting for him while playing with his dog and left.”

He continued, “I was depressed and had a difficult time, but after enduring it for three years, I was able to debut. I believe that the reason why I’m here now is all thanks to the past.”

[News] The SHINee member with the largest collection of female cellphone numbers is…


On the April 26th broadcast of tvN‘s ‘Taxi‘, the SHINee members participated in an ‘image ranking’ talk segment where they enthusiastically revealed each others’ secrets.

When MC Lee Young Ja asked, “Who is the member with the most female numbers in their cellphone?“, the SHINee members began to tease and gave a tense look towards Jonghyun. Feeling a bit uneasy, Jonghyun said, “This is getting really intense!”

All of the members ended up choosing Jonghyun, with the exception of the man himself who chose Keyand stated, “Key has many connections. Regardless of male or female, he has over 190 contacts in his phone.”

However, fellow member Minho revealed, “Jonghyun’s contacts have a different feel from those of Key’s“, to which MC Gong Hyun Jin pounced by commenting, “Just a while ago when we got off the taxi, all the members were talking to each other but I saw Jonghyun texting by himself!”

As members Key and Minho giggled at Jonghyun’s increasing discomfort, MC Lee Young Ja continued the interrogation by asking, “Who was it that you were texting?“, to which Jonghyun answered evasively, “They went to a few guys and also girls. I was in the midst of a group chat.”

Finally, member Key rounded up the assault by ending in a cheeky note, “I have personally never seen it but Jonghyun’s contacts have a certain feel to them. Carefully think about what it means when all the members choose him… there is definitely a reason.”

[News] SHINee’s Minho & Key were awkward with each other for two years after a fight.


SHINee members Minho and Key admitted that they were awkward for two long years after a heated fight.
The boys of SHINee guest-featured on the April 26th broadcast of tvN‘s ‘Taxi‘ and shared stories about the difficult days they spent as trainees.

When asked if they ever fought, the members admitted that they fought over the smallest things.

Key confessed that he had fought with Minho a lot. “We are the same age, and we just fought over the smallest things. Being from Daegu, I spoke with a dialect and that caused Minho to think I was always mad at him.”

“Where I come from, there is no such thing as hierarchy between people of the same age, but such a thing existed when we were trainees,” he continued. “Minho drew a line between us two as junior and senior, and I really didn’t like that. That caused a really big argument to erupt between Minho and I. We were so awkward for two years after that.”

Thinking back to that time, Minho added, “It was so awkward trying to talk to him. We always turned our backs to one another and barely asked each other how we were doing.”

“But after spending 24 hours together for 5 years, we have become closer than family,” Minho explained. “He has become an irreplaceable friend.”

“Now none of us really fight because we all know each members likes and dislikes,” Key added. But Minho begged to differ saying, “Key knows what I hate the most, and he still does it,” causing everyone to laugh.

“Yes,” Key admitted. “I do it everyday.”

[News] A Taiwanese fan regularly spends half of her monthly salary to see SHINee perform in Korea.


A huge fan of SHINee‘s Taemin appeared on the most recent broadcast of Korean talk show ‘Hello‘. KBS 2TV‘s ’Hello’ invites everyday citizens to appear on the show, and this time, a SHINee fan from Taiwan made an appearance to share her personal troubles..

Taiwanese guest Sa Hwa Sun wowed the studio audience while remarking in fluent Korean, “I am a fan of SHINee, but SHINee has so many different activities.” She then admitted to using up her entire savings for traveling to watch each of SHINee’s performances.

Sa Hwa Sun teaches the Chinese language to Taiwanese junior high school students and works part time at a private educational institute in the evenings. She regularly visits Korea at least twice a month to see SHINee. She revealed that a large chunk of her money is spent solely on plane tickets. Hwa Sun makes about $1,200 per month, but spends around half of her earnings to attend SHINee performances, and has purchased a whopping 30 copies of SHINee’s new album ‘Sherlock‘.

On top of her financial dilemma, Hwa Sun explained that she isn’t able to publicly admit her affinity for SHINee to her students. She was risking being fired from her job at the school to attend the ‘Hello’ show that day. Still, she did not stop gushing about SHINee. “The SHINee members are like little brothers to me,” she said. “They are adorable. They’re more beautiful than women, but they are so charismatic at the same time.”

Hwa Sun has also spent all the money she has saved for her marriage. “I don’t think I’ll be able to get married, as my standards are too high now after seeing SHINee.” She also remarked that Taemin could not get married, as he is the love icon for many women out there. “Taemin cannot get married,” she said flatly, surprising everyone on set.

Sa Hwa Sun then spoke about how she had once gifted Taemin with a black sweater. Taemin suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, the black one. I think I’m actually wearing it today. I was organizing my closet, and this one just stood out to me. I wore it today for the first time in a long time.” The sweater he was wearing was surprisingly the exact sweater Hwa Sun had given him. The MCs revealed that the sweater-wearing was completely coincidental, exhibiting their shock in saying, “The SHINee members came to film today without knowing what kind of dilemmas the guests would be sharing on the show, and Taemin just happened to wear the sweater.”

On the April 21st episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Immortal Song 2′, Taemin, Im Taekyung, LYn, Ailee, ALi, No Brain, and Sung Hoon performed past hits of legendary vocalist Yoon Soo Il.

Taemin performed Yoon Soo Il’s “Wonderful Confession“, and came through with a fierce dance performance while coolly sporting a Yoon-Soo-Il-reminiscent studded leather jacket. Taemin took the stage by storm, showing off a charismatic and masculine side of himself. He broke into a complicated dance number in the middle of his set, delighting viewers.

“Your dance was impressive,” Yoon Soo Il remarked after watching him perform. “It was superb,” Singers backstage were also blown away by Taemin’s performance, and commented that they had goosebumps while watching his stage. “It was a stage that showcased everything that Taemin is good at,” they complimented while applauding.

MC Shin Dong Yup then asked Taemin to sing a little bit of trot for everyone, and Taemin willfully agreed. Taemin blazed through three rounds in a winning streak with a core of 375, but lost to Im Taekyung in the fourth round.

This will, regretfully, be Taemin’s last episode of Immortal Song 2. SHINee arrived in Japan yesterday to prepare for their Japan Arena tour, which is set to begin on April 25th.

[News] 120422 SHINee Onew’s thoughts regarding their Sherlock Promotions


Once SHINee’s Well-known popularity has been justified, they will end their local activities “To see you again in next half of the year!”

Walking in to their last performance for (Sherlock included in) their new album, Onew stood out as a representative to relate their thoughts.

SHINee performed “Sherlock” on KBS 2TV “Music Bank” on April 20. That performance was their last music (performance) broadcast locally.

On that day, SHINee stood in front of the official stage to meet, and conveyed their feelings to the reporters. As SHINee’s representative, Leader Onew spoke “As our local activities has been really short, we will work hard to present (to everyone) more sides and styles of us. During our very long absence, though we only had a short promotion period, we were still really happy and grateful that there were many fans who continued to give us love and support, hence we are really thankful (for that).”

During “Music Bank” live stage, it is really evident to see the weariness on Onew’s face. According to some insider’s info, Onew had practiced till 5AM in the morning that day. He did not even have the chance to catch a wink before he rush to Yeouido island to complete his schedules - it goes the same for other SHINee members. “Actually (I) look really tired, but (I am) not tired at all.. in fact, I’m so tired that I feel like dying!” He spoke in a jokingly manner with a smile on his face.

Their skinny figures have aroused many concern from the public. “We have been working extremely hard to eat!” Onew expressed “Are you curious about what I have eaten yesterday? At 3.30AM, I “nom nom” finished a handburger set and 6 chicken McNuggets!” He said it with much satisfaction and he looked adorable.

On that day. Onew kept showing an embarrassed expression due to my repeated praises for him. When faced with reporter’s praises regarding album sales, singing abilities, variety sense etc, Onew showcased his unique Gag Sense and exude a sense of humbleness.

Furthermore, we have talked about the highlight of the “Sherlock” dance. The main point of the Sherlock dance comes from the cooperation of the 5 members. Even if there were a hint of mistake, the entire performance would have “collapsed”.  If the 5 members teamwork had not been precised enough, such perfect dance could not have been achieved. A nickname for the dance is “Amputated statues dance” (S/N : Greek Statues).

Regarding this, Onew commented “(The) relationship (between our members) have always been really good, if we were faced with any problems, we were able to solve it well. Now everyone has been working really hard, that’s good!” According to an insider’s info, the reason why SHINee is able to showcase such good image, to get such good results is all because of a good leader who is able to control/manage the group and also also the trust between the members, being able to do well each individual roles in the group.

Everyone please anticipate, for their upcoming Japan activities around the corner and their full album (to be released) in the next half of the year. Onew has revealed his desires “After our Japan tour promotions have ended, we will immediately meet up with our Korean fans. I personally wish that I am able to do take up the challenge for another Musical at the last half of the year!” Also, feeling such a great pity that they were unable to showcase many of their personal activities, Onew commented “On another hand, we feel that it is a great relieve. I am able to do really well for Musical performances and related characters, so I really hope I am able to have such opportunities again and able to showcase a better image!”

In addition,SHINee’s mini album “Sherlock” have clinched a triple crown award in music shows - a great result. Upon completing their local activities, they will start their performance on the 25th at Fukuoka and the surroundings for their arena tour. It is predicted that they will present a wholy different and unique appearance for their new album in the next half of the year. (Reporter : Won Won)
