[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.”
