[TRANS] SHINee - Hanako Japan Magazine Interview

[ ONEW ]

Q1. The thing you want most right now

Happen to see and fall in love at first sight with a 25-tonne lorry/truck (laughs) I hope that one day I am able to build my house surrounded by nature. It would be great if I can park my truck next to my house.

Q2. The recent thing that made you laugh really hard.

I can’t think of it right now, because I laughed really hard frequently, everyday.

Q3. The thing you anticipate when coming to Japan.

First (on the list) would be Live (performance)! Then Ramen, Beef rice and other food.

Q4. What kind of man do you aim to be?

Able to let others feel that I am an easy going, carefree person.

Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?

During music performances. Able to pinpoint one another’s mistake. Because of this, we become closer and more cooperative.


I am very glad fans say that they like my voice very much


During Arena Tour solo, Onew used his beautiful voice and his long note to shock and mesmerise the entire concert arena. But Onew humbly responded “I really love the song “Friend”, I feel that it really suits me, but I feel that I have not sang it well.” On the other hand “Fans seems to like my voice. On this note, I feel really happy.” In addition, we asked Onew what aspect of him does he think fans like about him. He analysed “Because I am considerered the rather laid-baid type, so I may come across rather cold, a sense of quiet and stable-ness?” Among SHINee members, he is the oldest and is the only member with O-group blood type. Hence we asked him if he had any troubles before because of this (his blood type). “Hmm~no special feelings about that. Tackling with any problems, I love to look it from a distant perspective. Ah! But I am still someone who has his own opinions, but my timing is always wrong (laughs). I frequently envy those people who can say (the right) words at accurately (at the right moment).”

Also, “If I wasn’t the oldest, perhaps my presence would be less prominent.” On another note, Onew seems to be mindful when he speaks Japanese “For example when (I) order beverage for room service, I will say “Ice..a little bit~” I am like that recently.”During the interview, Onew constantly maintained his smile and gave people a sense of stability and calmness. He exudes a sense of healing aura.

[ KEY ]

Q1. The thing you want most right now

Nothing particular that I want. I am satisfied with my life right now.

Q2. The recent thing that made you laugh really hard.

Even though he is the maknae (Taemin), but he calls our managers name directly. I find that very interesting!

Q3. The thing you anticipate when coming to Japan.

It should still be shopping! I also want to travel to other places!

Q4. What kind of man do you aim to be?

I want to be someone others can easily strike a conversation with. Hope that the others will not think too much.

Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?

When we create a record for a handphone game together. Everybody’s heart is united as one (laughs).


It is very interesting to change the theme of the fashion style everyday.

Regarding the earlier questions, Key used his friendly smile to ask “Can I use Japanese to answer them?” Other than work, his social network circle has extended to other idol groups, it is perhaps because of this reason, Key is able to create such feeling (sense of friendliness)! “My house is at Daegu, it is somewhat like Japan’s Osaka. Since I had no friends in Seoul, hence I particularly (made) many friends in the entertainment industry. In the past, I was the one who took the initiative to approach people, but now seems like there are many people who wants to be my friend (laughs).”As a fashionista, Key, who has always been receiving attention, will also give his friends styling opinions. (So) what are the main points Key pay attention to? “Colours and theme are very important. For example, I want a cute theme today, and a cool and handsome look for tomorrow. There will be a different theme for everyday. For the following day’s outfit, I will also prepare and plan them before I sleep.” As for a girl’s style “If our taste are similar, it would be great. For now (I am going for) the “Sid and Nancy” movie feel. I am Sid and the girl will be Nancy. It would be the best under such conditions.” Recently, something shocking happened to Key. “I realised my room is really messy (recently)! I am actually a person who loves to tidy up things and hang my clothes up nicely… I will always stack up my birthday gifts in boxes and place them on the floor. But because of this, it is really tiring to return back (to Korea) after coming to Japan directly~ (laughs)”
[ MINHO ]

Q1. The thing you want most right now

To rest.

Q2. The recent thing that made you laugh really hard.

When I’m watching Korean variety show “Infinity Challenge”

Q3. The thing you anticipate when coming to Japan.

Delicious food. Especially Japan’s ramen!

Q4. What kind of man do you aim to be?

A man who will do his best in his work, as well as (a man who) will achieve his goals. Also, a man that is able to solve his problems alone/ independently. I am still far from that….

Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?

Due to filming of drama, I have not seen the members for months. I feel very relaxed when I am around with them, I feel very warm and cozy.


It is the first time playing the lead in a drama; It is a good experience

Minho has caught attention for playing the male lead character in “For You in Full Blossom”. “As a lead character, it is indeed really tiring to lead the entire drama. As I lack acting experience, when I look back (at the drama), I sometimes will feel “Ah~ It is such a pity (that I could have done better) in this scene!”, as expected, these words came out from the man who has a strong desire to win, Minho. Taejoon, the charcter Minho plays fell in love with Jaehee, the female character played by Sulli from f(x) under the same management company. Talking about the hot-discussed kissing scene, “because my relationship with Sulli is not bad to begin with, so I think that the effects came out well.” Was the kiss initiated by Minho? After asking him, he (replied) “Yes” hahaha and laughed bashfully. He not only has a perfect appearance but also good in all sports; full of manly aura but yet gentle - simply flawless.” Analyze yourself what kind of person is Minho? “Cautious, tries to avoid causing trouble for others, will always embrace a positive thinking when dealing with anything.” During the interview, being unexpectedly being teased by other members, Minho seems to be very happy too. When we told Minho what other members replied for “Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?” - ( members raised the long absence of Minho as their answer), Minho responded “Really!” and seemed extremely happy. His beautiful eyes are even more dazzling now. 


[ TAEMIN ]

Q1. The thing you want most right now

Time

Q2. The recent thing that made you laugh really hard.

When I play soccer with my friends; when I fall and make mistakes.

Q3. The thing you anticipate when coming to Japan.

Food!

Q4. What kind of man do you aim to be?

(A man with) a sense of responsibility, with regards to his work, he will not give up easily. Work that he has planned out, to be executed wholeheartedly/ with his best efforts.

Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?

When Minho came back after his filming activities. It feels like family being constantly around with one another. Even though it can be annoying at times (laughs), but when (he is) absent, (I) miss him a lot. I am really happy that we are able to return back to those days where we always see one another.


I hope one day I will be able to let my fans listen to the lyrics and songs I have composed.

As a maknae of SHINee, he has been doted by everyone; Taemin is also often hailed as an “angel” by fans. But for his solo performance for this year’s Arena Tour, he unexpectedly performed an intense rock song. His charismatic handsome performance, full of manly aura have caused many fan’s hearts to throb. (We) asked Taemin which side of his is the real him? “Cool and cute, both of them” Taemin laughed as he replied. He then asked “Am I able I eat this?” he very politely asked before placing it in his mouth. We can only describe him as cute, seeing this side of Taemin. Taemin is really an angel right? “Haha, it would be weird for me to answer this myself….(laughs). But people around me often say that to me. Because of this, I frequently greet people with smiles.. perhaps this is the reason?” Taemin is 19 years old this year, he even has juniors in his management company. “Even though I have juniors like EXO but they are hyungs and dongsaengs I have met since my trainee days. I also frequently meet them in practice room. Rather than saying that I take care of them, it is (more appropriate to say that) we take care of one another (laughs)”. Taemin has recently embarked on a new challenge “Actually I have started to learn how to compose music recently. As a singer, I want to be able to translate messages that I want to let everybody to know. Hopefully, one day I will be able to let everyone listen to the lyrics and songs I have composed!” 


[ JONGHYUN ]

Q1. The thing you want most right now

Time

Q2. The recent thing that made you laugh really hard.

There is a drawing-guessing handphone game; seeing those drawings made me burst out laughing.

Q3. The thing you anticipate when coming to Japan.

Food

Q4. What kind of man do you aim to be?

Able to understand another person from their perspective. Pretend to not know even knowing it. Even though as a man, we cannot just depend on strength, we have to broaden our hearts and to be more more emotional.

Q5. What recent event have caused you to feet the closness (bonds) between members?

When I gave Minho a hug after he has completed filming his drama. Normally, I won’t do that~ (laughs).


Humans’ emotions are just like the weather; they change easily.

He is the first person to do his solo photoshoot, after the photo-taking session, he immediately went on to do his solo interview. He gives off a different vibe from his photoshoot session. During the interview, he gives people a sense of stability. He also pay close attention to listen to our questions. When we asked Jonghyun if he has encountered any interesting moments, he replied with a sense like an artist/poet “I think it is interesting to compare human’s emotions with weather. Weather is just like emotions; there are many changes in just one day. For example the weather seemed to be very good initially, but there can be a sudden downpour. Feelings/Emotions can fluctuate right?” To Jonghyun, every day life is his source of inspiration. “If I were to use this this place to describe my family, my mother (will represent) this table and this pen woulld be me (laughs). I often include daily experience into other things.” Are there any solo activities would you want to try out? “I have not particularly thought about that, but if there is opportunities to act or do musicals, I will gladly work hard on them. But for now, SHINee’s activities are most important.” Jonghyun seems to have watched Minho’s drama; he will even remember his lines and purposely mimick him. “Because it can be tiring for Minho to work alone, so (I) have to punctually watch (his drama) to support him. I am really not a straightforward person (laughs).”
