Key, Minho, Taemin, and Onew sit together, makeup-free, laughing, sipping on drinks, vibing, and generally enjoying each other’s company. It’s about 2 p.m. in Seoul, and the guys have obviously been busy with back-to-back interviews, but that doesn’t deter from the positivity they radiate on a Zoom call. One could mistake them for brothers instead of the iconic second-generation K-pop moguls they are, but that relatability in spite of their superstardom makes them SHINee.

Their natural SHINee selves also include a noticeably close camaraderie during the interview: each member frequently whispers or talks to one another while another speaks, they instinctively know whose coffee drink is whose, and can completely flip anyone’s interview answer on its head—like when Key revealed, in his dead-pan tone, that a backstage visit from Minho was hardly the “surprise” the rapper claimed it to be moments earlier.
