Happy SHINee’s 3rd Anniversary!

The 5 talented, sweet, cute, romantic and perfect guys begin their journey on 25th May 2008. It is 25th May 2011 today. And today is the day when SHINee will celebrate their 3rd Year Anniversary! How amazing time had flew!

Within these 3 years, we see SHINee boys turn into men. Even our precious maknae, Taemin is growing and looking as cool as other 4 members! Definitely, we knew how much effort they had put in. Minho and Taemin can now sing really well. And the other 3 members have improved so much more! I’m really proud of them.

We have seen SHINee making appearance in all sorts of performances, variety shows and concerts. As we listen and watch the fancams of those appearances, we had definitely seen them improving in areas such as singing, sense of humour, dancing and even to acting skills. SHINee had been praised by the mass for their talent in many areas! (Really Proud of them!)

Last but not least, This coming 22nd June will be SHINee‘s first debut in JAPAN! The teaser music video and audio preview has gotten SHINee World so excited. We definitely can’t wait for SHINING SHINee’s performance on the Japan stage!

“SHINee, do remember to always take care, drink lots of water and have plenty of rest. We’ll miss you guys everywhere you go! SHINee World loves SHINee! SHINee fighting!”

Please continue to be the SHINee that always shine and always make us-Shawols proud! I love you!~ ❤

[Key UFO] 3rd anniversary!

Key wasted more than 1 litre of tears because of Japan Dorama, “One Litre of Tears”

 

SHINee Almighty Key revealed that he is interested with Japan movies on SHINee Interview Elle Girl Korea June 2011.Read the translation below!

This is our second meeting after (the pictorial for) the March issue of Elle Girl. He greeted me saying,“People liked the pictorial.” Key’s fashion sense is as outstanding as last time. The eye-grabbing unique pink piercings on his ears are his own. He says he found it after ransacking a store.

Another thing that surprised me was his Japanese skills! Only one month since he started full-scale study, he was talking with the staff proficiently in Japanese. I got envious of his talents ranging from dancing, rapping, fashion and art to Japanese skills.

“I’ve watched lots of Japanese dramas for a long while.”

He says he cried a lot watching ‘One Liter of Tears.’ He is known to fans for being a fan of Ghibli Studio’s animation.

With lots of interests, likings, and talents, Key’s daily tasks these days are ‘practicing, studying Japanese, exercising, and painting.’ Recently, he had an exhibition of his paintings with his uncle who is an architect (I overheard him saying he participated in it under his real name without calling any press to do it quietly). According to Taemin’s testimony, he paints while dancing to music and choosing matching clothes. He is such a multiplayer. Has he ever been anxious and nervous?

“I was anxious and nervous about everything in my trainee days. Debuting was also stressful in many ways.”

But he then gave an answer which can be defined as ‘Key-like.’

“I’m so happy and good now. I think I’m what I am now because of what I went through, I needed the period. So whatever happens, I try to enjoy it.”

Key acquired this ‘coolness’ from his hot passion and precious wisdom. Last winter, SHINee had their solo concert held in the National Yoyogi Stadium successfully.

“I wondered if it wasn’t too much when it was announced we’d have a concert in Japan. Because we didn’t make any amazing sale records with our license albums and didn’t make an official debut. I was surprised when so many fans turned up. I cried. At the ending both times.”

I asked what he wants to achieve in his 20s as he is already doing so much. Another clear and ‘Key-like’ answer:

“What if I don’t make it after I set my mind to something? Then I become a failure. I think I’ll achieve something if I work hard. If I have fun and live happily, I think there’s nothing more I have to do.”

SMTOWN LIVE heading to South America in July!!

Will SMTOWN be heading to South America this summer?

It has been revealed that a South American tour with SM Entertainment artists including BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, and f(x) is currently in the works. According to several music industry representatives, SM Entertainment will be continuing their ‘SM Town Live World Tour‘ by heading to South America in July, making stops in Brazil, Chile, among other countries.

The reason for this South American tour is that the popularity of SM Entertainment artists in these countries has been steeply rising. In February, a Brazilian TV network held a survey regarding which Korean artist they would like to have visit their country. The top four spots were claimed by Super Junior, BoA, SNSD, and SHINee, respectively. Also, last November the Korean Cultural Industry Foundation held a survey amongst Brazilian fans regarding popular Korean singers. The results revealed that Super Junior, SHINee, BoA, and SNSD came in at 1st, joint 2nd, and 3rd place respectively.

Last month, SM Entertainment announced that they would be heading to France for their ‘SM Town Live in Paris‘ concert on June 10th. As this concert sold out almost immediately after tickets were released, the possibility of adding another day is currently being reviewed.

The ‘SM Town Live World Tour’  has already made stops in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Shanghai. By visiting both Europe and South America, this tour will become a legitimate world tour.
