{TRANS} Onew and Minho for SHINee's "TALK 2 YOU Vol.3" Interview in JILLE Magazine, February 2013

This is an excerpt of Onew and Minho's interview in the February 2013 Issue of JILLE Magazine. Visit the forum to read the full interview.

==================

Minho: It's only natural. We're like real brothers, aren't we? Onew: That being said, I'm the older one and yet I feel like there are a lot of times where you're the one who looks after me... (laughs) Minho: Nah, you make up for my shortcomings all the time. You've always been doing that for me, you know? We were in charge of being MCs for a music show in Korea, right? Didn't we help each other out a lot that time? Onew: That's right. We talked about a lot of things and made the program lively. The two of us really tried hard. We are similar in hating to lose, right? There will rarely be times when my competitive side emerges, but you are always concerned with competing and don't compromise. I think that's what makes you manly and cool. But there are times when I also think, "Isn't he being too passionate?" (laughs). I want to go along with that side of yours. In the end, we're probably just the same. Minho: Maybe. I think the part that I'm still lacking in is your funny side. Onew: I'm a comedian after all (laughs).

{TRANS} Minho's Interview for High Cut January 2013 Issue

This is a snippet of Minho's interview in the January 2013 issue of High Cut Magazine. Visit the thread for the full interview.

============

Kwanghee has recently bragged about how he's close with you on <We Got Married> which became a hot topic. Who are the celebrities you're usually closest to? Kwanghee hyung's personality is easy going and very fun. I feel brighter whenever I'm with him so we contact each other often and are friendly. The SHINee members are beyond the friendly scale and they're just family now. Usually, (Choikang) Changmin hyung, Kyuhyun hyung, and I hang out together a lot. All three of us like alcohol so we occasionally have a drink and talk. What are SHINee's plans for this year? We're planning around this coming spring so we've been recording lately. There's not much time left (until the comeback). We're coming back after 1 year since our promotions in the beginning last year. I'm extremely looking forward to SHINee's promotions this year. We have shown many sides of ourselves as 5 year old artists, but now our mission is to show a different kind of refreshing image. I believe we'll be able to show off a new image this year as well. For some reason, I have a feeling we'll receive a good outcome. Will you continue to act this year? I want to work on a lot of projects this year as well. I really feel that I'm still lacking so I have to build up a lot of experiences and I want to get my face out to the public through various projects.

{TRANS} SHINee's interview in MAQUIA Magazine, February 2013

This is a snippet of our translation of SHINee's interview in MAQUIA Magazine. The full translation can be found on the forum.

==============

Their activities in Japan this year are moving at full speed. We just can't take our eyes away from the 'light' that is so dazzling. The trick to improve your Japanese language skill is by having Japanese friends! After finishing their solo interviews, everyone started to gather for the group interview. Taemin, who was the last to come among them, was about to sit. At that moment, the chair was pulled behind and he fell on his rear! The staffs were surprised but the members were having a good laugh. Among them, Minho had the expression of a mischievous kid... (laugh). In such a relaxing atmosphere(!?), the interview began. - This year, you had vigorous Japanese activities along with your first Japan arena tour. You also released 3 singles. "For 1000 Years, Always be by My Side..." is your first ballad single, isn't it? J: I'm glad because I like ballad songs. Please be more attentive during my solo part (laugh). T: We were filming near Mount Fuji for the MV. O: It was refreshing to film outdoors. Even the air was nice ♪. K: With Mount Fuji in the back, filming under the morning sun felt good even though the light was blinding. The snowy view of Mount Fuji was beautiful too~ - Mount Fuji is a place with mystical energy. O: I guess it's like Gyeryongsan in Korea. You can get a good "aura" here as well. M: Since I like mountain climbing, I'll definitely climb it someday.

Want to know more about SHINee❤ We asked SHINee things about themselves that we're curious about! to ONEW Q: What is your ideal Christmas date? A: Holding hands, walking through a place where there is a lot of people, I guess. I admire such things because I can't experience it now. I'd like to go around eating delicious food (laugh). to JONGHYUN Q: If you were to cook a dish for the members, what would it be? A: Omelette for Onew for his breakfast. Since Minho eats a lot, fried rice for him. Key is pretty picky with food so luxurious cereal for him. Taemin..... I guess instant ramen is good enough (laugh). to KEY Q: What is your ideal Christmas date? A: Rather than going to a restaurant, I want to make a lot of food together that we usually see in American series like turkey and other difficult dishes (laugh). Then I'd like to go watch the fireworks together. to MINHO Q: We heard that you like games. What is the one that you're into right now? A: Rather than me liking games, it's more like playing the same game all the time (laugh). That game is "Winning Eleven" for Play Station. It's a soccer game. That's the only game I really play all the time (laugh). to TAEMIN Q: If you were to watch Studio Ghibli films with each member, which ones would it be? A: Rather than watching what with who, I want to watch together with all the members (laugh). It'd be more fun that way. I especially like "Howl's Moving Castle", "Spirited Away", and "Princess Mononoke".

{TRANS} SHINee's interview in SWITCH Magazine, January 2013

This is a snippet of our translation of SHINee's SWITCH Magazine interview. The full translation can be found on the forum.

============

It has been over 1 year and a half since their Japanese debut. How do they feel about their activities up until now? "I experienced many things and got to enjoy my experiences with a lot of people." (Onew) "I made a lot of friends. I'm also glad to be able to learn various details about Japanese culture." (Jonghyun) "There's always something to learn whenever I come to Japan. That's why I always look forward to it each time." (Key) "Through this year and a half we were able to build on a new career venture. I'm happy about it." (Minho) "It's good that the distance between us and Japanese fans is now shortened." (Taemin) This interview was done not long after the single "Dazzling Girl" was released. When asked about the song, Jonghyun, representing the 5 of them, answered, "This is a bright and cheerful song, so I wish that this song will be listened to once, every morning." The other 4 also approved. "Isn't it good if you listen to it while making preparations to go out in the morning? Like, when you're putting on your make-up or choosing your clothes. Since it's a song about a dazzling girl, I think you'd spend the rest of the day with a bright mood." (Jonghyun) We had them answer 12 questions that we prepared in order to catch a glimpse of their personalities at the time. We hope that everyone can enjoy each of their answers and give attention to this group who refreshed the self-proclaimed 'contemporary band' concept and took on a new pop sound. QUESTIONS>>>> 01) What would you do if there's a "Dazzling Girl" in front of you? Onew - I think I'll pretend to be cool (laugh). Jonghyun -  Firstly, I'll make her laugh. Key - Since I'm going to like someone who resembles me, I'll emphasize on our similarities. Minho - I think I will earnestly keep on praising her (laugh). Taemin - I'll make the effort to meet her as much as I can. I'm the type who meets up frequently.

02) What was the career point that left the strongest impression since the time of your debut up to today? Onew - Every first stage in each country. Jonghyun - The first arena tour. Key - Things that happened yesterday. Shot a PV. Things that happened recently always have the deepest impression. Minho - I guess it's when we won the best newcomer in Korea. Taemin - Our debut stage.

03) When and where can you feel the most relaxed? Onew - When I'm riding a bicycle. Jonghyun - Sport gym. Key - Bathroom. Minho - Inside the car. Taemin -  When I go to the sea along with my friends.

{TRANS} 121220 Fanaccounts from the SHINee World J Fan Club Event in Osaka

This is a snippet of our translation of fanaccounts from the SHINee World J Fanclub Event in Osaka. The full translation can be found on the forum.

==============

Onew and Jonghyun were jumping to lead the crowd into the mood. Jonghyun jumped and moved back. Onew bumped into him and was still being indifferent. Jonghyun repeated the call & response - say "Ho!", say "Hoooeey!".. You like that, huh? But I don't (can only whisper this) The members showed us their membership cards and asked, "Do you all bring yours?" Sorry, we all prepared light sticks, fans, boards, even binoculars as usual but during this event we had all put those membership cards in our bag, safely. The members were excited, announcing their membership numbers. Key was like, "I'm no 5!" but Minho couldn't bring himself to declare that his was number 4. I get it, even in Korea 4 is not a good number, right? When it was Minho's turn to speak, he had that card in his mouth. Then he turned to Key and used that card to scan Key's face. Hahaha.. what are you doing right now? Ah, I got it. Is it a key card? A key card, right? A key card to open Key's heart. It's already been opened though! With his card in his hand, he took the mic and talked, showing the card to explain. Then it's Taemin's turn and this boy had his card kept well inside the pocket of his clothes. Seeing that, Minho passed Taemin his own card and Taemin just accepted it naturally. Why did he give away his membership card? Why did Taemin accept it willingly? What is it with this 2min? Imitating the members... Onew was to imitate Minho. He looked down, then looked up. Jonghyun, Key, and Taemin were guessing that the answer was Onew. Minho was loitering around, not saying anything. Then Onew had his two fingers pointing to his eyes then gestured the fingers away, towards the opponents eyes. Then MC had the audience guess who it was and they guessed it right. Minho then came towards Onew to kick him... no, it was a back hug! Right after the event started, Jonghyun took off his ear monitors and threw it to the front, then after a while he took it back and put it to his ears. Seemed like it was broken so he signaled to the staff, pointing to his ear. He then went to the staff to fix the situation. Such actions were impressive, but I think the reason it was broken was because you went around jumping during the start. Source: ua_db Translated by: red @ shineee.net

{NEWS} Jonghyun sends Key a flower wreath for "Catch Me If You Can"

On December 16, Key had his first two shows for the second showing of the "Catch Me If You Can" musical. He plays the lead of Frank, a mischievous con artist, pretending to be a doctor, lawyer, and even an airline pilot in order to make millions of dollars. Several fansites sent Key their support through flower wreaths and rice wreaths for his first day back as Frankey. While wreaths are usually sent on the opening night, it was discovered that Jonghyun sent Key a flower wreath on the 18th instead. Jonghyun showed his support and humor through a a small message on the ribbon. The left side of the ribbon reads, "Sorry~! I'm two days late! Jonghyun" and the right reads, "You will want to go to the restroom in the middle of your show." Photo Source: @echo_0408 Article by: kimchi hana @ shineee.net
