SHINee’s Taemin Bought Parents “Gangnam Style” House and Foreign Car  

SHINee’s Taemin revealed that he bought his parents a house in Cheongdamdong (an affluent neighborhood within Gangnam) and an imported car (which is known to be very expensive in Korea).

On September 26, Taemin made a guest appearance on MBC’s variety talk show “Radio Star” along with actor Kim Jung Nam, fellow teammate Onew and CN Blue’s Lee Jong Hyun for the special segment “Idols Whom Nunas Love.”

During the broadcast, MC Kim Kook Jin asked the idol singers, “What’s the biggest present you’ve given to your parents since debut?”

Taemin responded, “I bought my parents a house in Cheongdamdong and an imported car.” Onew replied, “I gave my parents all the money I earned. They got a new car and I’m currently saving to give them a new house.”

Lee Jong Hyun answered, “I bought them a house in Busan. Father doesn’t have a driver’s license so I didn’t get him a car.”

SHINee’s Taemin Enjoys Draft Beer, Soju on Rainy Days

The youngest of SHINee is no longer a baby as Taemin expressed his growing fondness for alcohol on the latest episode of MBC’s Radio Star.

Taemin appeared on the show with Onew, CN Blue’s Lee Jong Hyun, and actress Kim Jung Nan on September 26, where he shared that he enjoys drinking draft beer.

“I went to go eat chicken with my friends, and when I ate the chicken with draft beer, it just went down so smoothly,” explained Tae Min. “I think draft beer tastes a lot better than just beer in a can.”

As he excitedly described his fondness of beer, Taemin gulped and licked his lips, as if he was craving it just by talking about it.

The hosts were entertained by the idol star’s recent discovery of alcohol and asked if he tried other drinks, like soju and makgulli (rice wine).

Taemin replied, “Soju flows down so well on rainy days. I haven’t tried makgulli yet.”

Taemin later shared that although SHINee’s curfew is 3 am, he usually stays home by himself. The MC panel suggested that he uses that free time to create a draft beer machine.

Super Junior’s Kyuhyun Clears Up Dating Rumors with SHINee’s Taemin?  

Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun explained the dating rumors between him, SHINee‘s Taemin and TVXQ‘s Changmin.

Taemin was one of the guests on MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘. The panel, excluding Kyuhyun, mentioned the scandal that Kyuhyun and Taemin had.

At first, Kyuhyun and Taemin were flustered, but Kyuhyun explained, “Whenever we had an overseas concert, we would bring up a female fan and serenade her. But this time, Taemin dressed up as a girl instead. TVXQ’s Changmin kissed the top of his head, and I kissed his cheek.”

Yoon Jong Shin jokingly goaded them, saying, “The SM artists have so little scandals, so I feel like there can be male-male couples. You haven’t had a girlfriend in a while, right?”

Taemin was also asked if he would pick Kyuhyun or Changmin if he were a girl. He answered, “I think I’d get greedy and cheat on them. I like Kyuhyun’s soft voice and Changmin’s high notes.“

SHINee’s Onew held a special photo shoot for fashion magazine, Singles, and talked about his ideal type of woman.

Unlike his cute and sweet image on TV, Onew impressed the magazine staff by taking a complete transformation, giving the perfect charismatic “autumn guy” concept for the shoot. After the photo shoot was over, Onew sat down with Singles for an exclusive interview, where he was asked to talk about his ideal woman.

“I fell in love with Lee Na Young at first sight, after watching her on MBC ‘Infinite Challenge,’” Onew said. “I like girls who express their love for me,” Onew added, as he went on to mention Kim Jung Nan, the actress from SBS “A Gentleman’s Dignity,” for choosing him as her favorite idol star.

[TRANS] SHINee OnTae at Radio Star

SHINee’s Onew reveals how he was cast into SM Entertainment by Lee Soo Man

 SHINee‘s Onew shared the story on how he signed a contract with SM Entertainment on MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘.

He revealed, “I’m from an academy that’s affiliated to SM Entertainment. I attended the Girls’ Generation showcase as a student, and Lee Soo Man noticed me then. He wanted to hear me during a one time on the spot audition, and I signed the contract the day after I auditioned.”

On the show, Onew had revealed gifts he had presented to his parents, as well as the fact that he would allow his girlfriend to cheat up to 3 times.

The MCs requested Onew to sing the song that he used to audition and Onew sang Gummy and Wheesung‘s “Do It“. Kim Jung Nan expressed her love for Onew by commenting, “His voice is so nice.”

SHINee’s curfew hour changed from 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM after Taemin reached legal age  

Now that Taemin is officially an adult, things have changed around the SHINee household, including the members’ curfews.

On September 26, Taemin, Onew, CN Blue’s Lee Jong Hyun, and actress Kim Jung Nan appeared on MBC’s Radio Star.

Taemin talked about his new fondness of drinking and also expressed his desire to go to a club, as he’s never gone before. When Onew revealed that SHINee has a curfew, the MCs asked what the time was, expecting a very early time.

“Our curfew is 3 am,” revealed Onew, making all the MCs laugh in disbelief. “3 am is enough time to play and even eat hangover soup before coming home,” replied Yoon Jong Shin. Yoo Se Yoon added, “You can  even get married.”

“It used to be 11 pm, but it changed to 3 am after Taemin became an adult,” said Onew.

The MCs then asked Lee Jong Hyun what CN Blue’s curfew was, and Lee Jong Hyun replied that they don’t have one. “We manage ourselves,” said the CN Blue member.

SM Entertainment Groups' Leaders Get Special Privileges? Onew Disagrees 

Have you ever wondered if the leader of a boy or girl group gets special privileges? Well, it’s been noted that the leaders of Super Junior and SHINee are much different from each other.

On September 26, Kim Jung Nan, SHINee’s Onew, Taemin and CN Blue‘s Lee Jong Hyun appeared in “Radio Star” and shared many stories.

MC Yoon Jong Shin asked Onew, “Do you like being a leader?” Then without a beat of hesitation, Onew answered, “Yes.” Yoon Jong Shin went on to ask, “What kind of privileges do SM leaders get?” Then Super Junior’s Kyuhyun answered, “There is definitely a special privilege for SM leaders. When we go overseas to work, the other members have to share small rooms but only Leeteuk gets to use a suite that’s almost as big as a house!”

After hearing this, Onew had a shocked look on his face and said, “Mr. Chairman…” pleading to SM chairman, Lee Soo Man. Onew explained, “We’re a bit different. The leader has the privilege to share a room with our manager hyung,” making everyone laugh.

Onew states that he can forgive a woman that cheats on him up to 3 times  

SHINee‘s Onew recently revealed that his ideal type was actress Lee Na Young and on the September 26th broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star,’ he also explained the type of behavior he likes and dislikes in girls.

The MC’s asked Onew, “If you had a girlfriend, what wouldn’t you be able to stand?“. The singer responded, “If my girlfriend had aegyo, I would be able to tolerate anything,” surprising the MC’s and the other guests.

Fellow guest, CNBLUE‘s Jonghyun stated, “I can’t allow cheating, I could never forgive someone for that.” While SHINee’s Taemin stated, “I can’t allow someone who has no sense of responsibility. I don’t like women who just use aegyo and ask to let the issue go.” Onew listening to these answers, responded, “Wouldn’t you let it go if she did aegyo? You have to set some limits. I can accept cheating up to 3 times,” surprising everyone once again.

The MC’s made various suggestions to find what kind of women Onew wouldn’t accept. Yoo Seyoon said, “How about a woman who smokes?” Onew replied, “I’d think about it a bit, but I think it’ll be okay.” Yoo Seyoon then said, “How about if she smoke cigars, or a pipe?” Onew said, “I don’t like the pipe,” making everyone laugh. Onew also stated that he didn’t like women who uses profanity.

The episode also featured actress Kim Jung Nan, who is a big fan of Onew.

On the episode of MBC TV’s Golden Fishery – Radio Star that aired on September 26, Kim Jung Nan, CN Blue’s Lee Jong Hyun, and SHINee’s Onew and Taemin made a guest appearance.

Onew was asked, “Is there anything about your girlfriend that you cannot forgive?” and he said, “I think I can forgive everything if she acts charming in front of me.”

At this, host Yoon Jung Shin asked, “Is there anything you hope your girlfriend doesn’t do?” and Onew said, “I don’t like a girl who swears.”

Onew also attracted a lot of attention by singing Noel’s “Proposal” in a romantic voice.

Kim Jung Nan fangirls over SHINee′s Onew on 'Radio Star'

Actress Kim Jung Nan fulfilled her dream on Radio Star.

Kim Jung Nan of SBS′ A Gentleman′s Dignity, SHINee′s Taemin and Onew and CN Blue′s Lee Jong Hyun appeared in the September 26 broadcast of MBC′s Radio Star and put together a special for ′the big sister who loved idols′.

MC Yoon Jong Shin introduced the episode as "a private broadcast that aims to satiate the desire of a woman who′s more than 40 years old," and like he said, the episode was like a dreamland just for Kim Jung Nan.

She said, "I decided to appear after hearing that SHINee would be appearing," and said the episode was meaningful because she would get to meet her ′ideal type′ Onew. Despite her wishes, she was told that Onew didn′t make it to the broadcast to her disappointment. This, however, was the only moment in which she wasn′t shown with a smile on her face.

When asked to send a video message to Onew, she really poured her sincere emotions in the message, and when Onew finally appeared as a surprise singing Replay, she squealed like a teenage girl and showed her delight. This woman with a career of 21 years behind her shook Onew′s hands as her own hands shook with amazement.

Yoon Jong Shin commented on the age gap between the two, saying, "It would be the same if senior Sa Mi Ja liked me," and tried to put Kim Jung Nan down by adding "Onew′s ideal type is someone the same age as him," but Kim Jung Nan continued to smile in content.

She even revealed that the name of her cat is SHINee, and gave everyone a big laugh by saying innocently, "Doesn′t Onew look like an angel?"

At the same time she also made everyone laugh by showing what little she knew about her idol. When asked what Onew′s real name is, she said in surprise, "Onew wasn′t his real name?" and then insisted that his nickname is "Tinky Winky," just because, "Onew reminds me of Tinky Winky."

Kim Jung Nan′s blankness on Onew, yet the fact that she held a naive ′love′ for him provided an entertaining contrast for the episode. She went out of her way to laugh at Onew′s unique humor, and was answered by a sweet performance of Propose from Onew.

Onew said, "I was touched because this is the first time a well-known figure has openly said she likes me. I hope we keep in touch."

The episode came to a close with Kim Jung Nan happily standing among flower boy idols Onew, Taemin, Lee Jong Hyun and Kyuhyun, singing out Replay with a big grin on her face.

[INFO] 120924 SM Entertainment rap instructor JQ reveals Minho’s personality + interview

While JQ is not a name most fans hear of in the world of K-pop, he plays an important role in the lives ofSM Entertainment artists. JQ is better known as the “idol rap instructor” and works with SM artists to improve and direct their rapping abilities.

Now, he has broadened his horizons beyond a rap instructor, as he works as an artists himself as well as a producer. In his interview with Newsen, he reveals his thoughts on the more difficult times he experienced and his entry into SM.

At first, he stated, it was difficult. All JQ was interested in was making music, but he did not have the money to support himself and had no choice but to work in a factory, where he earned 500,000 KRW a month (about $446 USD). He revealed that he would save 300,000 KRW out of his earnings for his music and eventually was discovered for his take on rapping through a video he created out of the movie ‘His Voice‘.

He stated, “A UCC video star is not a singer. But at the same time, a UCC star is not a complete amateur either. For every event I worked, I would receive 50,000~70,000 KRW (about $45~$63 USD). I would still live off my factory salary. When I thought about my younger brother, who is employed in a company, I would think to myself, ‘When will I start to live normally too?’ I was envious of anyone who had a normal, regular lifestyle.”

JQ continued, “That’s when I received an offer to make the rap segment for SHINee’s ‘Love Should Go On‘. It felt like grabbing on to a piece of straw. I was in a position where I really needed the job.”
Feeling the pressure of the job, he worked for 3 days straight on the rap without sleep, saving as much money he could along the way to support himself, as the job would provide the amount of money he would normally earn in a month. As a result of his hard work, his rap segment was selected to be a part of the song.
He stated that he was honored, as he continued, “I was deeply moved. When I was on my way to SM, I kept thinking to myself, ‘How can I… How can I…’ This was before SHINee debuted, and so I’m sure they were anxious. So was I. I was as anxious as if it were my own first album. I taught them, sweating nervously the entire time. I didn’t believe I had the qualifications to teach SHINee how to rap, so I worked even harder. I taught them everything I learned from rapper MC Sniper. I felt bad about it later and apologized to him. He told me it was okay.”

JQ’s first ties to SM started with SHINee. Naturally, as one of SHINee’s rappers, Minho became one of JQ’s closest co-workers and friends at SM. JQ stated that they continue to keep in contact lately. When asked if Minho was cool and cold like his unreal looks, JQ revealed what Minho’s personality is like.

“Minho has not changed since I first met him. He’s like a younger brother to me. He doesn’t act like he’s a celebrity. He’s a very simple person. Right now, he’s in the middle of filming SBS‘s ‘To The Beautiful You‘. He looks amazing. Through SNS, I said to him, ‘Hey you look awesome on TV right now’ to which he responded, ‘Hyung, you’re watching too? As expected’. I think a lot of people really like Minho, like I do. He’s a dongseng I can easily call over to the recording studio and have a bowl of jajangmyun (black bean noodles) with.”

JQ complimented Minho heavily, also revealing that he taught Minho everything he knows about rapping. Through Minho, JQ explained that he had an easier time getting close to the members of TVXQ.

“Minho is great at writing rap segments. He has a lot of bright ideas and a few genius moments here and there. I was really amazed by the rap he wrote for ‘Juliette‘. He works really hard, and he doesn’t give up on anything when he does his work. Key is also an excellent rapper. He catches on after only hearing a rap segment a few times. All of the members are so talented.”

As a fan of original idols H.O.T and Seo Tae Ji, JQ went from someone who listened to their songs to the rap instructor of their junior groups. He is a great example of a self-made person who followed his dreams and worked through his hardships to achieve his goals.

[TRANS] 120920 Onew’s interview for Singles Magazine

There are no gaps on SHINee’s stages. Instead, it is filled so completely that it has become a concern (‘homework’) that SHINee must solve. However the Onew we met off the stage was loose and easygoing. 24 year old Onew is a random young man who is most happy when he buys his friends food with his own money and falls asleep at the bedside having put down a book on anatomy.

“I’ve found an obsession with time after debut. It’s because of the thoughts of how to spend time if free. There’s been a lot of times where I went out just for a cup of coffee or took the subway and wandered alone.”

Most of South Korea’s idols mature in similar stages or experiences. Passing from the awkward and cute entrance of debut to slowly becoming more mature and defined, and then realising at some point that it is time to show the striking nature of the feral man or sexy woman. Yet the fast track in showcasing an adult image doesn’t always feel good. SHINee, even out of the idols, is famous for having debuted at a young age. At the time of debut, maknae Taemin was a middle school student, the rest of the members all high school students. In fact it is true that I even thought that it would be overbearing for them to become a ‘sexy guy’ or ‘homme fatal’ in just 2-3 years. It is also obvious that the fans wishes are ‘please don’t change please don’t move on so fast’.

But thankfully Onew did not have the want to become an adult. I was relieved at his words “I want to be young for the longest time possible”. If he had replied “I’m sad because there are still so many people who consider me a child” the interview would have derailed. This is why the conversation with Onew felt warm and comfortable. It is because I felt a pure desire in im to not be an idol who wants to grow up too quickly but one that wants to simply feel and enjoy his present. Because of this, I feel that SHINee’s fans will be happy for a long, long time rather than it being a flash.

Even SHINee’s maknae is now 20. But SHINee still feels like a bright teenage band. Are there times that this image is annoying or you want to escape from it?
Ah, now that our maknae has reached 20 we’ve grown quite a bit. It is true that to us, rather than the macho image, the youthful image takes precedence. Even in real life, when I eat, I’m the kind of youth that unknowingly starts smiling largely because it’s so good to stand on stage. I don’t want to replace the laughter that comes unwittingly for a pretension of strength, coolness, toughness. That’s why up until now I am still enjoying the image. When it gets burdensome, the worries can be at the forefront, but when I stand on stage I realise I’m smiling like a child again.

It is KPOP’s season. What is the passion like like in reality as you go around for world tours. Isn’t it too early an age to have already taken over the earth? I feel that sometimes there could be a sense of conceit.
The phrase of ‘taking over the earth’ is one that really doesn’t suit, Writer-nim. Hahaha. Of course it’s a really great chance and experience. We want to try feel that passion in every nation. Of course stages are stages, but through such a chance being able to go to various countries and eat various delicious foods makes me happy. Conceit? There’s not really much of a reason for that to occur. On TV you only see us surrounded by loudly screaming fans, but in reality, there are times where we’ve been disappointed at the lack of fans at the airport. Hahaha. I can’t forget the concert we did at New York’s Maddison Square Garden. To have performed at the place I got to know because of ‘Rush Hour 2’, I still can’t believe it.

Would it be because of the title song ‘Noona You’re So Pretty’? SHINee, and in particular, Onew seem to be the noona’s fantasy.
There are many noona fans who love me for my voice more than my appearance. To be honest, in the old days, I really hated my voice. It is because a voice with a rare colour can’t give various feels. When I was young I wanted a technical voice, but now I’d rather have a voice that can highlight emotion. Maybe it’s because of that reason that even if my voice doesn’t have artifice, it has a lot of pros to it.

That’s right, even if you listen to the songs in SHINee’s album, you can distinguish Onew’s voice right away.
I hear often that my voice has a rare quality to it. It is able to grant a sense of life to the music. Even if I’m not the group’s main vocal, I’m happy that I can do this kind of role. Talent in terms of singing? Hm, it’s rather that I always liked singing ever since I was a kid, I didn’t really think deeply about wanting to be a singer. If my father turned on a casette tape in the car I would follow along enthusiastically, and often sang in front of my family. I hadn’t dreamt of being an idol group member. I thought of wanting to be a person that wrote and sang songs. Because I had dreamt of entering and debuting through ‘Yoojaeha’s Yojae’.

Who are your close celebrity colleagues and what do you do when you meet them? I’m interested in what kind of person you are in an average personal meeting. Do you maybe have a music mentor?
In a private place, I return 100% back to Lee Jinki! It’s mostly Lee Joon and Go Ara, but everyone’s really kind. I’m more the type to change in personal interactions depending on my mood. It may be due to my emotional O blood type self, but a different persona emerges every time. So in a way, I guess people could think I just do whatever I want. In terms of music, it’s Kim Yeon Woo sunbaenim. Having met him doing music, I want to follow his emotion. Because everywhere I went I always said I liked Kim Yeon Woo sunbaenim, I heard the fans made a CD of songs I’d sung and gave it to him as a present. But I have a feeling that he probably wanted a girl group’s like SNSD. Hahaha.

I heard that idols receive heaps of presents on anniversaries like birthdays! I feel that in terms of financial wealth you wouldn’t be lacking, so what is the thing you feel you need the most now?
I of course receive a lot of presents. To the point I rarely buy clothes. The clothes I’m wearing now? Just in luck today’s clothes I actually bought myself. From Hollywood! I tend to wear things of a more comfortable style that are gifted from fans. There is a large range in presents - computer, bike, CD, headphones etc - but most of it suits my style. So I don’t lack in anything. Instead, there have been a lot of times I’ve returned things because they were too expensive. Something I consider myself not to have? Ah! It is time. It seems unknowingly I have created an obsession. If I have even a little time left over I always get out of the dorms.

It’s already been 5 years since debut, what has changed most from Then-Onew to Present-Onew?
In comparison to early debut period, I’ve become more social. That I fare well with the staff without any hesitation. In the past I was only prickly but now I’ve become more comfortable.

The Onew we think of is of a smart image. It seems like you’d be a good son at home and a calm sweet boyfriend to your girlfriend.
To my girlfriend? My family? I wasn’t actually like this, it is more that an obsession had been formed that ‘I should act like Onew (gentle, kind)’. The moment I felt that though, it dawned on me I should grow out of it. So these days I strive to simply show my bright, active, convival self. A smart image though, maybe just to the point I read books on anatomy? Hahaha.

What would you be doing now if you had spent an average student life? Maybe studying hard at the library? Or in a passionate romance?
Because above all else I have a lot of curiosity, there are many things which I do and regret later. So I can’t really figure out what I would have done. Until 3rd year of high school, study was fun. So these days I miss the times of studying. I continue to have an interest in geology and astronomy. I guess if I wasn’t a singer I’d probably be studying?

What do you feel, being an idol member, and a leader at that. It seems that each and every day would not overwhelming.
Before and early debut, I had a lot of worries about being leader. I thought I’d always have to be in the leading position. But stopping one moment, I looked around and realised the other members were doing well (without my help). Hahaha, other than the daily and small things the rest get solved well without me. As I have a rather optimistic personality, I don’t feel much competition with the members or other groups. Just to a point of curiosity like ‘Oh, they even do things like this?’ Because there is no jealousy, there is also no sense of rush.

Is there an ideal type or woman that has caught Onew’s attention?
This is a hard question. It is because I do not have a chosen ideal type. Just that there are times when I think ‘Wow, this person is alright’ as I pass someone by. But in a bit, I forget, and think the same with a different person the next day. I think rather than liking a certain style, I just like someone with a good feel. At the basic level, someone who can share with me on music, someone who can sing together with me would be good. To add something else, it’s good if she has parts that I don’t so I can continuously change for the better. If she has pretty hands, even better, if there is recently someone who’s tugged my heart it would be actress Lee Na Young noona. I fell for her whilst watching her character on ‘Muhwandojeon’. Ah! And Kim Jung Nan noona! We even recorded Radio Star together. I like a person who likes me. Noona, are you watching? Hahaha.

[NEWS] SMTown Live World Tour to hit Singapore on November 23rd, ticket onsale set for October 2nd

K-Pop fans, mark your calendars. SM Entertainment’s artistes will be taking our little red dot by storm on Nov 23, in the biggest concert in Singapore yet with a capacity of 18,000.

Set to take place on the world’s largest floating stage, SMTOWN Live Tour III in Singapore will be the first concert that will take place at The Float @ Marina Bay. Organisers Running Into The Sun have teased that mosh pit ticket holders can expect to get as close as three meters away from the stage. The 120-metre long stage will also house mosh pits for over 5,000 fans who want to get into the thick of the action, a mere heartbeat away from their idols.

Fans can expect to be wowed by the four-hour long extravaganza, jam-packed with special effects such as pyrotechnics, flying stunts and water features. The stellar line-up of artistes will include wildly popular acts BoA, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation and SHINee. Other artistes under the SM stable whose attendance is currently unconfirmed include Kangta, Zhang Liyin, CSJH, DBSK, TRAX, f(x) and newly-debuted EXO.

SMTOWN has become a massively popular concert tour which has been staged in prestigious international arenas such as Madison Square Garden, New York, which was transformed into a throbbing arena filled with 15,000 screaming fans. Zenith de Paris in France has also played host to the concert tour, which housed 14,000 fans.

“SMTOWN is truly the mother of all K-Pop concerts and we’re madly excited to bring this to Singapore. As a massive concert that has only been staged so far at iconic international venues, we hope this concert will impact Singapore and the region to bring progressive music and quality productions here,” says Beatrice-Chia Richmond, Creative Director of Running Into The Sun.

The world tour kicked off in Anaheim, California on May 20 this year and has since travelled to Taiwan, Japan and Seoul. Singapore is their sixth confirmed stop and is expected to attract audiences from Singapore and around the region.

Ticketing information, including pricing, will be released next week by organiser Running Into The Sun.

There will be a three-day priority booking period for OCBC Card members and owners of Samsung handsets from Sept 29 to Oct 1. Tickets will be released for public sale from Oct 2 onwards.
