GETTING TO KNOW OUR SHINEE WORLD!
I was tagged by the lovely Brianna @diamondacequeen and Gia @shineecstasy. Thank you! 💖💖
1: How did you get into SHINee?
Em (@petite-sprout) came home one day and showed me “Ring Ding Dong.” It didn’t grab me right away, tbh. But she showed me more kpop videos over the next few months. And then “Sherlock” came out. Hooked.
2: Your favourite member in SHINee is?
4: Your favourite SHINee OTP (if you have one)
I know you can guess this…
5: Is there a SHINee ship you don’t like?
6: The SHINee member you think is most easily shipped
7: Your favourite Korean song by SHINee
Heck, that’s hard. Probably “Lucifer.”
8: Your favourite Japanese song by SHINee
I love several, but I’m going to say “Better” because it was the first one I loved, and also I never hear anyone mention it. I adore it. (I also love “Password” and “Breaking News.”)
10: Your favourite live performance
11: First SHINee MV you saw
12: Your first impression of SHINee
Wtf? What’s up with the milk? And why do they keep wiping their lips? Wings? Oh, OK then.
13: Is there a SHINee member who recently impressed you?
They all continue to impress me, all the time.
14: The SHINee member you think has changed the most over the years
I’m going to say Jonghyun on this one. I know Taemin was a baby and has obviously changed a lot. But much of his personality still strikes me as the same (which I love). But Jonghyun...I don’t know if it’s that he has changed a lot or if the “bad boy/loveable asshole” persona that they hung on him was so far from the truth that it seems he has changed a lot. Either way, he comes across a lot differently now.
15: The SHINee member you think has changed the least
Onew. Loveable, smiley, consistent Onew.
16: Your favourite SHINee MV
Probably “Lucifer” (Korean), but I also love “Dream Girl,” “Breaking News,” and “View.”
17: Your favourite SHINee lyric
Oh gosh. I’ll admit I really don’t know their lyrics. Like, when they release a song, I usually read the lyrics once to get a sense of what the song is about. And then I forget them (lousy memory for that sort of thing), so most of the time, I have no clue what they’re singing, lol.
An exception is Jonghyun’s “Elevator.” [translation link]
Please don’t hide
Don’t hide, please
My reflection is cast on the closing elevator door
Looking worn out but, even like this
The reason why I still blink my eyes and breathe
Is it for me or am I being chased?
Hello, hello, say hi
Say hi to my haggard reflection
Hello, hello, say hi
How long have you been crying? You…
Do you know what face you’re making? You…
I believe I know all the trifling stories of the world
But you, who I’ve shared my breath with for a lifetime
Tell me honestly
You’re feeling so lonely
Tell me honestly
You know you can’t go on like this
How long have you been alone?
It’s awkward to meet my own eyes in the mirror
The lyrics (and the music) are exquisitely beautiful. But at the same time, knowing how he felt writing them, I wish they didn’t exist.
18: The SHINee member you think has the best face
Taemin. Sometimes it’s just...unreal how beautiful he is.
19: The SHINee member you think has the best body
20: The SHINee member you think has the best personality
All of them. They’re amazing. And their combined OT5 personality is priceless.
21: A SHINee picture that makes you smile
22: A SHINee picture that makes you nostalgic
(Ha! I’m pretty sure I was supposed to post “sweet” pics, but there you go.)
23: Your favourite quote by someone in SHINee
“Different doesn’t mean wrong.”—Jonghyun (Dec? 2013, twitter)
24: A picture of your bias with someone else you like in another group

25: Have you seen SHINee live?
YES!!! May 6, 2016, Toronto.
26: Do you have a favourite variety show moment?
Probably, but I can’t think of one rn.
27: How would you describe SHINee in three words?
Entertaining, hilarious, talented.
28: Which SHINee video would you show to someone who has never heard of them before?
29. Is there a memory in connection to SHINee that you will always treasure?
Not really a connection to SHINee, but I’ve met a lot of wonderful Shawols over the past four years, and I will always treasure that.
30: If you could tell SHINee anything you wanted…what would that be?
I’m tagging Cheryl, Mo, Charlie, Paula, and Fiona. (It takes a while, so no worries if you don’t want to!) @shin33ee, @moshiznik, @trashyjongtae, @pequinessa, @missmugiwara
