SHINee Pimp Post
This is partly because I promised a_brokenangel some SHINee pimpage and partly because my mind is corrupted with SHINee ever since their debut anyways.
These boys. They deserve a place in your heart.
This post will also kill my reputation as a semi sane person. SIGH. Fuck you too, law.
SHINee (샤이니) is a five-member boy band that has pedo-bait written all over it debuted under SM Entertainment's label in 2008 consisting of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin. They made their first performance on 25 May 2008 in SBS Inkigayo with the pedo hit of the year, 'Noona neo muh yebbeo seo (Replay)' or 'Noona, you're so pretty' (Replay), which calls out to all the noonas to just ignore their young age and drool all over them.
Only three months after their debut they have already won the Hot New Artist award in the MNet 20's Choice Awards. Up until today they won countless of other awards and now they share a good deal of the spotlight on korean music television.
The band
I don't mind if you decide that you don't like SHINee but if you say they are not talented, I might think you are blind and deaf. Let's just face it. There are idols out there who can't sing their way out of a paper bag but these guys, despite their young age, know what they are doing and they're damn fine. I have never seen them lip-sync during a performance so far.
They have gotten their own reality TV show called ShinEE Yunhanam where they went on dates with Noonas (an expression used by boys for older girls). The concept is basically just (did I say just? Let me rephrase, I mean it's spazztastic!) the members going on dates with a noona and at the end of each episode, the noona has to choose a member for another single date. Onew never got one, btw. All in all the members are all dorky and little kids and omgadatewitharealfemale.
Please watch this in your spare time. Or like, now. Abandon this post and come back after you're done watching Yunhanam.
The members
Onew ♥♥♥
* Nickname: Ondubu (a special kind of tofu he loves. He's also told his skin looks like Ondubu)
* Birth name: Lee Jinki (이진기)
* Birth date: December 14, 1989 (age 19)
* Position: Leader, Vocal
* Jailbait
“Honestly, amongst all of the SHINee members, in the terms of looks, physique, expression…and everything is charismatic and the only phrase to describe the person is ‘near perfection’, that member is - ME!”
The Leader who commits the most mistakes during practices; the Leader who feels responsible for the group and solves problems, the Leader who will just zone out from time to time, the Leader who still stays strong despite swollen, red eyes under the glaring lights, the Leader who cries in the car secretly after getting injured. OMG, YOU INSANE BITCHES WHO DO NOT LOVE ONEW.
He's the master of epic fail. He falls down, he stumbles, he spills juice, burns things, he forgets his lines and messes up everything that can be messed up.
I call it mastery of fail, the SHINee members call it the Onew condtion.
Onew condition includes: turning all quiet suddenly, freezing the atmosphere with whatever he says; just sitting there in a daze; committing mistakes in most unlikely and unexpected situations; others are baffled and fascinated by it and made up an "Onew Condition Song" and they now sing it every time he's creating a muddle.
Key once told him "You can't not go NG, can you?"
Failing at everything includes failing at logic. You see, after he was told If you've got something heavy on your chest, your thoughts will become heavy too and you will experience illusions, he tried sleeping with a box on his chest, hoping he'd enter some illusion dream land. But nothing happened. OH ONEW.
He really suffers from the head in the clouds syndrome, (this is the reason why it's hard for me to believe he was second best student at his entire school!) will sink into a state of baffling nervousness whenever he does not know how to answer something.
"Our album will be released in May! ...It's already August now?! Oh then it should be September. I guess. Ah... No, no, it's august! End of august."
But, no, really, he's the right person for the job as leader. He thinks of himself as Taemins dad and is basically Keys hubby, he laughs away his own fail even if he's in pain so nobody will have to worry because of him, is very ambitious at attempting to be humorous, is always very enthusiastic about trying various methods to hype up the atmosphere behind the scenes and has the most adorable smile. Ever. The day he runs out of happy is the end of the world.
And he has the most awesome singing voice. Yes, I like his voice better than Jonghyuns. GASP.
Jonghyun
* Nickname: Bling Bling
* Birth name: Kim Jonghyun (김종현)
* Birth date: April 8, 1990 (age 18)
* Position: Lead Vocal
* Jailbait
"Bling Bling Jonghyun", does it sound weird to you? He uses it all the time, be it during messaging or talking, he uses it. Because he loves R&B and Hip-hop too much, he wishes that he can shine (blingbling) forever.
Now imagine a big chunk of Whitney Houstons voice and a spoonful of Michael Jacksons singing technique mixed together in a non gay and awesome kind of way. This is what Jonghyun sounds like. Only in korean. And better. He effortlessly brings me eargasms although he likes to say that in terms of vocals he still has a long way to go. You better don't believe a word he's saying because it's all lies. He is imho, one of the best singers in ShinEE in SMTown in korea. Judge yourself.
Want more of Jonghyun singing? Here you go. He sounds his bestwhen he sings duets with Onew.
He likes to refer to himself as a rebel and troublemaker but honestly? He calls it being rebellious, I call it puberty.
Key
* Nickname: Almighty Key
* Birth name: Kim Kibum (김기범)
* Birth date: September 23, 1991 (age 17)
* Position: Vocal, Rap, Dance
* Jailbait
Key! Almighty because, you see, he's a "triple-threat", he is gifted with amazing skills in singing, rapping, & dancing. He is the most loud and random person in the band and you have NO IDEA how awesome he is.
Key is a brat the mother hen. You'll hear him being called Key umma (korean term for mother) a lot. It's in his nature to care for people. He irons SHINees clothes, get's up early, makes breakfast (although he is too retarded to wash rice XD) and sends Taemin off to school, ohmygodtheirloveissopure. Key says he feels void when one of the members isn't around ♥!
Taemin made him a tin foil microphone and he always uses it AND GET'S ALL SHY AND LOOSES CONFIDENCE WHEN IT'S TAKEN FROM HIM. Another thing he aways carries around is his polaroid camera. The photos taken with this have disney princesses on the frame. Asfhiosvhno, this is so cute, rainbows should be shooting out of his butt <3 In fact he has this downright gay thing going on. This explains why he masters the S-line like a girl.
Key likes to nag. He nagged at Taemin, then his nagging extended to all of the members and now he'll just nag at whoever is around. But he does it with love and because he cares a whole freakin lot.
Minho
* Nickname: Flaming Charisma
* Birth name: Choi Minho(최민호)
* Birth date: December 9, 1991 (1991-12-09) (age 17)
* Position: Rap
* Jailbait
“Hello everyone, I am SHINee’s Flaming Charisma Minho. I have to talk for more than a minute? What can I say? One minute is too long!”
Yeah, Minho, man of few words, got street casted (read: he was asked to audition because he's got the looks) and is the rapper of the band. Minho's got the voice and he tries to give an attitude to the camera, but sometimes he just kind of fails because in reality he is really soft-spoken and nice (iE he will talk more and feel less tense when a puppy is around. Like, omg, adorable y/y?), shy and aloof and has trouble connecting with people. He is the one that stands off to the side, quietly smiling or pulling a face, totally amused or shocked by the insanity that surrounds him. He is he master of the blank face (like -_-). This expression appears a lot.
He also wears pleather pants hence the flaming title.
Taemin ♥
* Nickname: Spineless Maknae (OMG, LOL)
* Birth name: Lee Taemin (이태민)
* Birth date: July 18, 1993 (age 15)
* Position: Main Dancer, Sub-Vocal
* Ultimate Jailbait
THIS KID IS MY DOWNFALL.
Everybody loves naive little Taemin. Everybody. The noonas, the hyungs, TV hosts. Yes, he is only fifteen, why yes, I adore him and I'll totally go to hell for it. And so will you.Taemin makes the inner pedo in you come out. But he's totally aiming for this, that little devil! He likes to play and he plays a lot. A camera, a glance and ovaries go boom.
LOOK AT THIS, TURN 18 ALREADY, THE WORLD IS A CRUEL PLACE.
Key admitted on TV he has a weakness for Taemin and Jonghyung and Taemin sometimes share a bed, using each others arms as a pillow. It's just an affectionate thing. But, you know, my gift of foresight tells me that as they'll grow older, they'll develop a thing for skinship. Just let two, three years pass.
Taemin always get's what he wants, using his cuteness to cover the forceful way he's asking for things and pouts his way into the hearts of everyone. He get's attention poured upon and loved upon and he accepts it al with a shy, happy smile and tells people how he loves being called "Baby".
But don't think he's a spoiled because he's totally not. He spends every second studying and rushing his holiday assignments and preparing for exams. Such a good little boy I want to pet and adopt him TT__TT
His selling point is, beneath being the cute magnae, dance. Dude, how good is he at dancing, I mean, shit, seriously. This is the point where you mind should go "He’s 15, he’s 15, he’s 15, he’s 15!".
He started dancing in 3rd grade (*_*) and he likes to talk about dance, likes to be on stage dancing, he likes to demonstrate his poppin' skills on tv, he talks about how his favorite songs are the ones he can dance to, he loves dance a lot, dance is awesome, everyone should love dance, you get the idea. This is pure Taemin.
Music
Noona You're So Pretty
Their first single, their biggest hit, the pedo-bait song.

Everyone makes fun of how Jongyhun sings the first line, I love it.
This is the best PV for SHINee starters because they are basically colour coded XD
Jonghyun: Gold/Yellow
Onew: Green
Key: Pink (see, he even get's all the gay clothing!)
Minho: Blue
Taemin: Black + bonus!hat
A.Mi.Go.
Can you spell catchy? This song is stuck in your head till Armageddon.
Random clips
→ When the members (excluding Taemin who was a a date with noona for Yunhanam) go karaoke singing, it sounds like this.
→ So, SHINee try rhythmic gymnastics with a noona. This is what happens. Onew falls down 72946 times.
→ Here is a pre debut clip! They appeared at the SM Town Showcase and now if you'll please have a look at
Taemins and Keys mad dancing skills. The boy in the green striped shirt is Taemin, in case you haven't learned anything about Shinee until now. Oh, and this is BEFORE they got a proper hair cut, just saying.
→ They also sung Stand By Be for the Boys Over Flowers OST :3
The End
As in Fin. It's over. That's all folks. Annyeonghigaseyo. You can go now. Leave now and watch everything that has SHINee written on it ^___^
