Taemin suddenly started a game without saying anything so Jonghyun said “Taemin-goon-ah”
When they were trainees, Taemin and Moongyu(?) held a birthday party for Key at the playground.
Key says the most surprising moment was when he went to the US for a
bit and lost weight and came back and his mom couldn’t recognize him.
She was at the airport to pick him up and she kept waving to some
other people. Then Jonghyun was like “She can recognize you now, right?”
Onew was cutting the cake. He saw
bread on
top of the knife so he made a pun and said “kkalbbang” which means
cutting someone’s name on your skin to leave a scar but kkal means knife
and bbang means bread separately. Everyone laughed and Key was like “I
feel like hyung would actually do it!”
Key wants a Halloween party!
Taemin was talking about his OST. Key said he already has a hard time
watching Minho and Sulli together and if Taemin’s OST started playing
in the bg, then he really can’t
watch it. He currently watches it with the volume down.
Key: It’s my birthday and congratulating me like this is just so..
I’m not sure what to think. I’m not sure how to express it to be honest.
I feel kind of careless but I’m very very thankful to you. I want to
congratulate everyone on their birthdays.. I’ll do it right here.
Congratulations in advanced. Thank you so so much for celebrating my
birthday like this.
Jonghyun said “eat this” instead of “give this” and Key was like what do you want me to eat :O?
Jonghyun said Wonbin would look cool wearing all denim. “The face completes the fashion.”
Taemin took a polaroid picture of the fans and said he’d remember all the faces of the people at the party
HE SAID IT WAS NICE TO SEE THE FEELINGS OF FANS THROUGH THE SHOW
JONGHYUN WATCHED REPLY 1997
Key feels like people are making fun of him when they say he’s good looking and Onew said he feels that way too
“Taemin is the type who drinks a little but pretends he drank a lot.”
Jonghyun was drinking yakult and started choking. The members were
saying how funny to death it was and even took a video of it. Jonghyun
was like “You thought that was funny you could die? I was really gonna
die!!” Key said he knew Jonghyun wouldn’t die so he filmed a video.
So Key recently got a new piercing. Onew said how Key whines so much
about how it hurts. Key said his mom would say “The more beautiful you
become, the more uncomfortable you become.”
Jonghyun lost a game so a fan came up to hit him with a toy hammer. He put his face really
close to hers while waiting for her to hit him.

Key bday party, key said he doesn’t like other people praising him,
it’s better to say the clothes he wears are nice, instead of praising
him that he is handsome, it’s like teasing him..Onew at the side said he
knows how it feels, other members laughed.
Jjong gave key a pants as present, before Jjong went to buy it, he thought it’s 260000won, he only
found out
it’s actually 360000won when he paid, he kept on mumbling when he was
paying… Key recorded the process, at the beginning of the video, key was
happy and thankful to receive the present, then jjong’s mumbles could
be heard after that..
Key purposely prepared a medal written happy bday on top for a fan
who has the same bday as him.. (Please3x Fansite Master / Taemin
Fansite) The most ridiculous thing key has experienced so far is that
last year when he came back from USA, his mum cannot recognize him at
the airport, his mum wave at another person instead~
Recently a game called 애니팡 is popular in korea, it is a type of
matching/joining game, can get hearts by playing the game, but to get
it, the users have to sent game invitation to KKT’s friends.. jjong
almost went crazy because taemin kept on sending him the invitation.. so
he bloacked taemin’s id.. Normally people who are good in this game
will get around 300000 points, but onew get 520000 points, taemin said
his result isn’t good, only get around 5000 points
Key pierce one more hole on his ear for his bday.. Onew at the side
said key always complain his ear is pain.. Key said he the type of
people who live for a week, others will live by thinking of their
future, but he only concern about what is happening now, do what he
suppose to to, and live happily everyday
Taemin took a photo of the fans who attended, saying he wants to keep
for himself, so the fans told him to retake because they haven’t
prepare for the pic just now.. caused taemin not knowing what to do for a
while
Jjong teased key why he still buy camera when he already owns so
many.. key said he want to give as present! then jjong said “oh oh”
after that key said softly “a present for himself”.. taemin bought key’s
present in a duty free shop, key saw a cosmetic and told taemin he
wanted that, but taemin didn’t have card that time, so key paid for it
1st, taemin still hasn’t return the money to key and said he will return
it today
Onew asked Key what present he wants. Key didn’t say. Taemin whispered to Key ” A car! A car!”. Key said he bought not long ago.
mentioned about jjong hurted his leg in indonesia, Key looked at
jjong and said “we are going to indonesia, don’t hurt your leg again
this time”
JJong: It’s will be interesting if each member is given a camera in a program.
Taemin: then Minho hyung, onew hyung and my camera will be empty
Jjong: then use them as CCTV instead
Taemin asked Key to pierce at his eyebrow too. Key said can’t as it
will leave scar.. then he asked the opinion of the shawols attended,
shawols shook their heads.. Key “you see”~
Key said he is happy today because of the bady party so he lend his specs to jjong
They wanted to call minho but minho didn’t answer the phone ><
Jjong asked please3 master whether she is having the same age as key since their bday is on the same day…
Key: “I feel awkward watching minho and sulli together in the drama,
if Teamin’s ost is played, I really can’t watch it anymore… ㅋㅋ until
now, I always adjust to soft sound volume when watching the drama”
Key: “it’s pity that minho is not here”

Onew Magazine TRANSLATION
[Trans] 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.
