Jonghyun's hint
"The way it's arranged on the plate... looks like a roof. It also looks like a pyramid. But if you look at it one by one, the color and shape are like sticks, yet it's soft like a baby's neck that can't hold up the head yet. And also, Tokkikki! How cute~ ^^"

First time in Niigata!

Arrived in Niigata~ Unfortunately it's raining at the venue ☂
But, it just happens that booths for both the goods and fan club are located inside, so everyone won't get wet ＾▭＾

The venue in Niigata is lively from the morning, despite it being the first time for the tour to make its stop here ♪

The members are very fascinated since it's their first time in Niigata too.
They ask the staff on the local specialties and dialect among other things...surely, they're looking forward to the concert!
Everyone, let's liven it up to the max for this first concert in Niigata ☆

Backstage report 1

Since Niigata is known for its rice, even the rice in catering seems like its shining (laugh)
Today's catering ♥

Everyone, including members and staff, have a large helping (laugh)

Also, the side dish that is almost as popular as the rice, chawan mushi ♪
The dish that taste like home cooking is so popular!

After finishing their meal, it's time for rehearsal, so to the stage the members go~

Key!

I went to test my luck by participating in the campaign that gives the desk pad as a present at the CD promotion booth in the venue!

You get a draw for the desk pad for each CD or DVD that you buy.
I tried it right away ♪

I got Key's desk pad ^^
Should I keep trying until I get all five members~ (laugh)

Local snack

We received snacks.
It's non-other than the local specialty, sasa dango ♪

The members are quite familiar with the taste, since it's similar to Korean mugwort rice cake!
It's just that, they keep asking why it's wrapped in bamboo leaves (laugh)
Also, it's well liked since it's in bite size~ hands never stop feeding ＾▭＾

‘To The Beautiful You’ Japan DVD starring Minho, a member of TVXQ’s junior - SHINee, has been released! He has also three previous work as male leads.  ’To The Beautiful You’ is an original Japan love comedy drama. The story of the female lead, dressing up as a guy to encourage and motivate a male athlete to return to the the high jump sports field; you can also have a deeper understanding the daily life of an artiste.

Minho: ‘Of course, I have read the original work, and have watched the original drama series (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e), so I wished that I could act out a more diversify male character through my effort. Close to the age of 21, I think I must act out a good role.’

Question: I heard during Minho’s student days, you are more playful and put in more effort in sports than studies.

Minho: ‘I am better in sports since young. I am very interested in soccer under the influence of my father, and there was a period where I really wanted to become national player. After debuting as a member in SHINee, that time I was still in high school, so it’s a little regretful that my high school memories was not a lot.

Question: During outdoor scenes filming, Minho enjoyed the times carefreely, especially when the rest of the casts were about the same age as him and it felt like he is back to his student days. However, it seems like when he knew there will be kiss scenes in the script, he was really nervous at first.

Minho: ‘I feel that as long as you are an actor/actress, you will definitely feel nervous. It was not an exception for me, my heart was beating really fast. However, as Taejun (Minho’s character in the drama) , I have to do it. The very first kiss scene was when I was drunk, because it is scripted that he did it unconsciously , I just got to hide my nervousness and do it.

Question: The drama script depicts that TaeJun is cautious towards people he loves, but at the same time, he is a straight-forward person. Does Minho, in real life, has this side of ‘Tae-Jun’ too?

Minho: ‘I have the straight-forward personality too. However, TaeJun is much ‘slower’ than I really am; If I have a girl who I really like, I will go up to her more confidently. (laugh)’

Question: Have you tried asking female friends around you, if they have seen a side of you that made their heart went pumping.

Minho: ‘Any attitudes of myself really makes me worried. For example, if I have an attitude which I did not notice (has caused disfavour to others), I would ask and start to take notice of it so that I will not show it again next time.’

Question: How about, if you wish to bring a Japanese lady to Korea for a date, where would you go?

Minho: ‘It will definitely be the beautiful scenery of Hangang River. I would bring her there in the evening, for a walk, enjoying the night view; if hungry, we can have fried chicken and drink beer. It definitely is an ideal date.

Question: Being a member of the group, owning a nickname of ‘Flaming Charisma Minho’; a very favourable member with an originality and steady communication skill on top of a shining smile; this Minho has been described to be the ideal guy.

Minho: ‘I should always carry a responsible heard to do every task, there is still a distance between myself and that description of me, but I will continue to work hard and achieve better.

[NEWS] Director Park Chan Wook chooses Key as a potential casting choice

On July 22, the press conference for a new movie Snow Piercer, was held, and its director Park Chan Wook, revealed that he would like to cast SHINee’s almighty Key in his future projects.
The director expressed, “My daughter really loves SHINee, so I know them. She especially likes Key the best.” Sharing his daughter’s love for the group’s multi-talented member, Park Chan Wook said that if he were to cast a SHINee member in his movie, it would be Key.
Last year, Key impressed critics and reviewers with his outstanding performance in his debut musical, “Catch Me If You Can”, as Frank Abagnale Jr. His attention to detail and versatile expressions caught the eye of many, and most possibly, Director Park; as the latter emphasized that Key has a lot of sense and personality, which in turn makes him an ideal casting choice for the director’s future movies.
In other news, Key will be playing the lead role of Clyde in Korea’s production of the award winning musical, “Bonnie and Clyde”.
