damn you REALLY can’t stop Onew from singing full out even when he doesn’t technically need to - this is like that DCM Studio Choom Behind all over again!
No, but look at how Taemin's smile drops as soon as he realizes he's actually in trouble. 😂 (They were forcing Jinki to do something sexy, before the Great Sexy Awakening of 2023.) Jinki doesn't show it often, but he can totally corral them when needed.
Yes, Jinki is sweet & gentle & kind.
But do you honestly think he would have been able to succesfully lead SHINee through thick and thin for 15 years now if he was the naïve, clumsy baby some people here paint him to be??
He’s got a core of steel and is smart as a whip 💪🏽🔥
seeing some people going ???? so i shall explain!
- their festival performance made big waves!! the YT video of it trended as high as

in South Korea and stayed parked in that position for a whole day

takes the 3rd place in Boy Group Brand Reputation rank!
The legendary 2nd generation K-Pop group ranked in the 3rd place this month with 3,206,677 points ❤️🔥
why do people keep doubting kibum’s love for shinee when he has literal shinee teletubbies HANGING OVER HIS BED
and wears his shinee ring on his left hand… he married those annoying, lovable jerks 😂
picking out some fun youtube comments:
"You're so good... SHINee lives so hard that in order to balance the world, I will live lazily…"
"I felt sorry for lying down and listening, so I straightened my back and listened…"
taem’s older brother liked all three of onew_griffin’s posts about the fanmeets, and both he and ming’s older brother liked the wrap-up post on jinki’s own IG… man i love shinee fam. 🥹
sandeul also explained that jinki stayed with him the whole night even though he had a schedule that next day… he went straight to the schedule from sandeul’s house

IMHO, it was a poorly written, cobbled-together season. I’m glad you enjoyed it, but a lot of people didn’t, and that has nothing to do with shipping.
Jinki snatching hearts again? This comment says they were staff at the festival and that Jinki was the most memorable for them among the celebrities there for the two days of the festival.
kind of thinking back to 2022... and his radio interview with kim eana where he'd said that keeping “onew” and “jinki” so separate hadn’t been good for him, mentally, so now he decided to embrace them both. “this is me, and that is me too."

not even non-shawols noticing how SM hadn’t been doing anything to promote jinki as a vocalist and how different it is now 🥲 ah well! onwards and upwards
wait what? none of this noticed this!
"As a result of analyzing the comprehensive score by weighting the rankings of 11 categories of the Circle Chart for the 26th week of 2024...
And the following new entrants to the TOP 200 are ... SHINee Onew (116th)"
(people were doubting that he WANTED TO STAY IN THE INDUSTRY and meanwhile he was finalizing things with a new agency and planning an encore concert with the others. ffs really)
man i knew they weren’t booking him for shit but he’s got two events and six fanmeets set up within 5 seconds of leaving that hellhole… like are you serious 😭
so many of the actors at the star awards have been posting such nice pics and cams of jinki on IG 🥹 i was in full “that’s so sweet!!” mode UNTIL someone pointed out that these poor people probably had to struggle with jinki’s IG name and now… i’m laughing… 😭 oh no ㅋㅋㅋ
he’s definitely super busy
- no time to prepare for a concert right now
- will be doing tons of activities from now on
- had a (very secret very real) schedule today before the live 😂
hard to cover songs:
- shinee songs
— view's basically boss level & considering there’s been many sherlock covers, except for 1 by that band(?) i haven’t seen good ones
—✔️
—✔️
— i really realized it after watching onew on song stealer… he sang alone but no one could steal them
if ming’s album comes like two-three weeks after kibum’s (like jinki’s is two weeks after taem’s and then kibum’s two weeks after jinki) i’m REALLY gonna think these guys are up to something 🫠
Thinking back to that one /r/kpopthoughts thread where people were talking about how SMCU must have slapped a heavy filter on Onew’s face for the photos… but the jacket shooting behind was just released, and no, he was really just that pretty. 😭
one thing to point out that we might not realize as non-korean speakers (or still learners)... we’ve probably all heard this before, but his diction is REALLY good!
because of that, people are saying the rap is sticking in their ears (in a good way)
the lyricist behind the new title track also wrote SHINee’s Like It! (which i think we could all tell jinki really loved performing 😂)
i have a feeling it’ll be an exciting song
"When asked about his proudest achievement since debuting in 2008, he responded:
'The journey I’ve walked with the members. We’ve run together without giving up much. I feel grateful that many people support us with a sense of connection, and I’m thankful for this life.’"
😭
#TAEMIN
For ELLE KOREA: 'I Want to Become a Real Memory for My Fans'
Taemin was asked if he was aware of the many new fans joining even in his 17th year. He replied, “If it’s true, I’m truly grateful. I don’t think many teams stay active for such a long time, both as SHINee and
- jinki’s song stealer performance also made the news esp because he won every single thing he could have won on the show! the cover he did even charted without real promotion
- kibum is amazing on nolto and i live alone (biggest shows in SK) weekly. no more explanation needed
… ming with his upcoming drama/MC appearances, taem with his fanmeets/performances and awards/whatever news he's about to drop on us…
the validity of this monthly brand whatever thing is pretty flimsy but make no mistake: they've all been SUPER present and in the spotlight 💎
a jjinggu sent jeon jieun a DM earlier asking her about her involvement, and she answered, “i only helped onew a little bit with what he wrote! the song is really good so please look forward to it!"
anyway jinki’s fanboy club has been updated to include a random old guy going “OH, SHINEE! ✨” at the airport
and taem’s sounding possessive of minho-hyung working out with others… drama afoot in star gym land
- waterbomb. taem and ming. also no more explanation needed they both killed it
- just generally each of them have been staying in the news for various reasons. jinki’s festivals/fanmeets/music releases, kibum with his shows/upcoming tour/encore announcement (cont'd)
(no but this is incredible - it’s kind of like jinki wasn’t sure how much power to put into the choreo before? he’s hitting it perfectly now by day 3. shinee skills… kind of creepy, very cool)
"SHINee's madness goes beyond venom, and Shawol are also madness. Everyone, please hold two or three light sticks."
“Really crazy guys!"
“When I was young, I thought Lucifer, RDD were funny songs, but the moment I heard them live, I realized that wasn't true…
(oh forgot to talk about this earlier but the interview does confirm that jinki DID get an offer for the tune & music festival… and was surprised about it… so how many offers did SM turn away? or did they jack up appearance fees so high the offers didn’t come in before? god)
truly the highlight of this is him getting shy over winning with the old man demographic, with the newsen guy giggling at his embarrassment, and then nearly walking into a signboard
oh and sweaterpaws
this is… peak jinki-core
@Faerie34
@taeminyeehawhat
i think they mentioned in the letters they wrote to the fans that tho they were really unsure about doing the concerts jonghyun’s mother encouraged them to do it. to this day she attends both SHINee and their solo events (esp onew’s) so i def don’t think it was a lie

NJ has the highest number of open ICU beds in the entire country right now. We’ve also got the best education system. We’re doing great, in my opinion.
I guess you’re jealous. Maybe spend more time worrying about your own suffering constituents.
what the atrium where jinki's pop-up store will be looks like! it's right in the middle of the mall so everyone will see it... it's going to get a ton of attention
applause for griffin!!
he jumps off the ground at the end of charm… soars through the air in hola!… and comes back down to earth amid the flower petals for maestro.
lee jinki’s FLOW universe, all flowing together
@sandyReaper27
Really don’t understand people like you who act shady when the artists themselves are on good terms (or even very close) and want each other to succeed. You’re disrespecting the idols you say you support.
If Trump and Republicans reject the new Democratic proposal on coronavirus in bad faith, House Dems will simply pass it and dump it in Trump's lap, challenging him to reject it, an aide tells me.
This is a lifeline. Trump should grab it.
