The Touching Story Behind SHINee Onew’s Real Life

SHINee Leader Onew turned out to be having difficult times when he was a kid. Read the story below.

When Jinki was young, he was the type of person who went to CD game shops just so that he could play games for free. This kid always tried his best so that he could play the games. However, one day he decided to purchase the game CD as he felt embarrassed for always playing it for free at the shop (he’s really sucha nice kid). He bought the CD game even though he didn’t have the game player. (LOL)

During primary school, Jinki would always tear up when he wrote letters to his parents whenever he thought about how late his parents came home from work.

In middle school, like many other kids his age, he often wanted to go out to play (with friends) but instead, he would help his parents out at work.

In high school, he entered the academy (SM Academy) yet he would still do part-time jobs like delivering newspapers in order to not give his parents a burden. At that age, he also became a vice-class president for other schools. He had some friends whom he was close with and his grades were always in the top ranked. He even ranked #2 in his last year of High School

Jinki’s daily schedule in high school (already SM-trainee at that time)

Wake up at dawn to go swimming and walk to school. Listen well in class

After class (still in uniform), he goes to the training room. Majority of Jinki’s pre-debut pics were of him near SM Academy and of him in uniform. After training, he would go home and do 1000x rope-jumping…this is already very well known (many people know about this)

20 year old Jinki after debut (korean age)

Still the same. No matter if we look at his performances or Night Star, he would continuously greet people. Whenever they needed anything, he would not hesitate to stand up for them. To people who have judged Jinki before, he would still smile at them.

During this Night Star recording when they were blood-donating and amongst his musical rehearsals… was always worried about his health. He even greeted/thanked fans who did not donate blood at that time.

During the day he had to record a program and afterwards he had to record Night Star until midnight. Looking at him becoming skinnier and skinnier day by day, his pants becoming looser and looser…

When he felt hungry, he sat in the corner and ate choco-pie…

Etc etc

This is why ordinary Jinki is not an ordinary person…

Such a great man Onew is. What do you guys think?

Super Junior and TVXQ made SHINee's Onew cry

On the latest episode of KBS2TV's "Happy Together 3," TVXQ's Changmin and Yunho revealed information about SHINee's leader, Onew. They noted that Onew had grown a lot during the two years and three months that TVXQ had been on break. "Whenever he used to see us, he'd be too shy to say hi, but now, he fondly addresses us as 'hyung!' whenever we meet."

Yunho also revealed that both TVXQ and Super Junior once made Onew cry. "Onew is very kind but it is quite rare to see him show his true self, so we installed a hidden camera with Super Junior once. The group of us pretended to fight and Onew stood by our side crying as he tried to calm us down."

f(x)'s Sulli confessed that hidden cameras were a tradition, "We've also been pranked by SHINee before."

What do you think of their prank?

SM Town takes a group photo at a manager’s wedding

A recent group photo of SM Town members at a wedding for a SM manager has been snaring the attention of both fans and netizens alike.
On February 13th, numerous idols like TVXQ, Super Junior, Super Junior-M, SNSD, SHINee, f(x), TRAX, CSJH The Grace’s Sunday, Isak, and Lee Soo Man gathered to attend a SM manager’s wedding. Although it was a huge photo, the individuals weren’t lost in the crowd thanks to their unique personalities.
While many of the SNSD girls were found smiling sweetly or with victory poses, the wilder boys of Super Junior were either making funny faces or doing their signature introduction pose. On the other hand, SHINee’s Minho , Key and Taemin were seen with their fists in the air, while their seniors Yunho and Changmin looked calm and cool.
Fans commented, “I love my SM Family” “It seems like a very joyful wedding” and “Great to see everyone together.”

ENG SUB-Happy Together with TVXQ, f(x), SHINee Ep182

On February 10th, f(x)’s Luna guested on KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together 3“, and revealed that she made a pre-debut appearance on SBS’s “Truth Game“.
At the time, Luna, who was 13, was cast as a young ‘wave’ girl who dreamed of becoming a singer as amazing and sexy as Chae Yeon. Through this opportunity, she was later picked up to debut as a formal singer.
SHINee’s Onew requested to see that same dance on the spot, and Luna obliged by delivering an impressive performance.
Netizens commented, “I never even imagined she would have appeared on such a show,” and “She had such talent even then!”


The MCs asked their guests to pick a person who they felt the most awkward being in the same room with, and why. f(x)’s Krystal began, “Even now, it’s kind of…“, and chose TVXQ’s Changmin.

“Why is it so awkward,” the MCs asked. Changmin replied, “When I was a trainee, Krystal wasn’t in the company yet. She joined after I debuted, so we never had the opportunity to bump into one another.”

Krystal added, “I think Changmin oppa is the type that’s hard to get close with.”

Hilariously, Onew immediately suggested a ‘5 second stare’ on the spot. The two agreed, and demonstrated how painfully awkward it was between them. When asked about how it went, Krystal stated, “This is the first time I saw him up close like this. I think his double eyelids are very thick.”

Changmin replied, “I think her eyes are pretty,” causing everyone to express their hopes in the two getting closer.

As for fellow member Yunho, he revealed, “I don’t think I’m awkward with anyone in particular.” But he received a surprise when Luna and Sulli chose him in the end, leading the MCs to burst out into laughter while pointing out, “Maybe it’s only you that feels comfortable!”
