"Being in the music business is not as easy as people think, idols like me have to go through tremendous things just to be recognized."


If I had all the fans in the world, I don't think my looks would matter so much.

The thing is, you see, I have to share my fans.
In the world of Korean Pop Music, their is one thing that matters and one thing only, fans.
My dream, ever since I was in nappies sitting in my high-chair, was to be a star.
Not the ones that occasionally appear in the sky, no. The over dramatic, singing may vary, abs and white teeth kind of star, a superstar perhaps.
Fast forward a few years and I made it into a company named SM entertainment.
SM has what most entertainment companies have in Korea these days, a wrinkly old guy named the President who "rules" the company, an awful disintegrating headquarter (unless you are mr.YG) with toilets designed for you to do your business in a hole in the floor, dance room facilities where if you put one foot of place the mirrors will smash leading to years of bad luck and gym facilities where you weight lift by lifting someone’s grandmother (hence why my abs are brick hard)

Seriously though, my group made it big, ever since we debuted back in 2008 we have been unstoppable (unless you include the minor injury's we occasionally receive).
My group are named SHINee, but do not let the name deceive you as we are pretty amazing.

The group consists of myself Onew , my diva Key, my nut job of a friend Jonghyun, Minho and Taemin.
My band members are like my family (a very weird family).

When I was given the honour of being a leader, I was given numerous duties.
I was asked to cook, clean, kiss my managers ass, suck up to everyone with the name Lee Soo Man and use fan service to my advantage, go wild.

Fan service in the Korean entertainment world means “gay”, almost every idol in the business knows how to act gay, some idols do it like it’s just a natural thing, some idols use fan service by holding hands, some kiss other members on the cheek, some go all the way by using crotch touching, full on lip kissing, air sex, bum bumping.. the list goes on..
I have done most of it and most of it happens between me and Key, me and Jonghyun or, if I’m feeling frisky, Taemin.

Being in the music business is not as easy as people think, idols like me have to go through tremendous things just to be recognized.

A basic evening in the SHINee household usually goes like this;
If were having a good evening, Key will be cooking something delicious, Jonghyun will be somewhere composing something, Taemin will be doing his homework and Minho will usually be out mingling like the pimp he is.

All in all, I love my life and as crazy and tiring as it is, I wouldn’t change it for anything!

I am so sorry for writing such a load of blah, my mind is so blank, I guess thats one of the side effects of boredom, anyway this is version one and hopefully my mind will channel into comedy mode soon and I will do a version two :)
