so, jonghyun's at the very end of his run of solo concerts this weekend: he had his tenth and eleventh concerts today and he'll be having his twelfth, the final, tomorrow. with every concert he's had a different guest so far: taemin (was a guest at the first - i made a post at the end of the first week that talked about about that), soloist jung in, poet / soloist ha sang wook, coffee boy, nine of dear cloud, okdal, soloist lee ji hyung, zion.t and soran all guested before today and... today? onew was the special guest! the concerts as a whole have been kinda of "hush hush" in terms of material shared, either because it's difficult to record or people are withholding until they're all finished before they share pictures / video, but either way: there's been a slew of both fan accounts and pictures that came out of the first show today and i figured it'd be cool to gush over them here.
... and that duet is "please don't go" which they haven't sang live in over six years. enjoy.
aaaaaand a small snippet of onew singing "in your eyes", his ost from "miss korea".

— SWTOKYODOME終了꒡̤ੈۀ꒡̤ੈ (@swtokyodome) October 17, 2015(i think) they repeated "guest, please come out!" there times. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ lee jinki's mischief is through the roof. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ he came out and jonghyun hugged jinki and they high fived each other too and put their hands on their thighs too and embraced when jonghyun was leaving. (via onmorae)
(on watching jonghyun's concert) onew: to tell the truth i don't get nervous very much these days either, you know? (but) watching jonghyun performing a concert like this alone from backstage..., something about it gave me a lump in my throat and, even though he was doing really well, i'd think: "oh, what if he makes a mistake somewhere?" and i get worried too.
--
jonghyun kept staring at jinki instead of the audience? he moved his arm during the talk and knocked over the water bottle that he'd put below the sofa and spilled water. during "잠꼬대 ((please don't go)" they both had their eyes closed and then, in the last part, when jinki sings: "hold me as i stay still in that spot" only kim jonghyun opened his eyes to stare at jinki.
during the last line of "잠꼬대 ((please don't go)", jonghyun singing while staring at jinki. the concert goer seriously thought they were gonna pass out. when jonghyun was thanking onew for coming / saying goodbyes on the sofa he rubbed jinki's leg as if it were his own. the last hug, sob, what even was that (back) stroking.
--
jonghyun: they're being sold on the fifth floor, right? they're on the fifth floor so those of you who are interested can ... (ie: he's talking about concert goods.) (onew held up his goods and did a cute face / pose.) a good advertisement model. anyway, thank you, and come site here for a minute.
onew: he.
jonghyun: you're cute. [translator's note: the way jonghyun said this was in a: "ugh, i can't believe how cute you are" kind of tone.]
(because onew kept saying "hehe".) jonghyun: these two old men of shinee are always like this, every day.
onew: iiiiiing, what do you want me to doooooo, that's not iiiiiit!
they then talked about how they play together in this doraemon-like voice. they also talked about food during the middle of their chat.
--
jonghyun: (jokingly / sarcastically) but i thought our relationship was just business, not friends.
onew: i'm out here right now because we're friends.
jonghyun: to be honest, because we've known each other (for) ten years, we're close and we have the kind of relationship where we just know even thought we don't say anything. (onew giggled / laughed after this.)
--
the postcard jinki wrote to jonghyun: "a friend who can tighten up the team so there isn't a loose spot to be found. i'm always thankful (to him)."
jonghyun: (jokingly) you really wrote warm thoughts, much more than expected. what does this mean?
onew: um ...
jonghyun: (jokingly) did the manager write this?
onew: no! i wrote it, but this..., my writing ...
jonghyun: your handwriting's gotten a lot better.
onew: to be honest, i did write the words, but it doesn't look like my writing.
jonghyun: ah, they (managers?) must have thought i wouldn't be able to read it so they must have rewritten it for me and given it to me again.
onew: (jokingly) that must be it~.
jonghyun: because your writing is so bad that it almost makes you wonder if this is really hangul ...
onew: in jonghyun's case, at times, he has a lot of aegyo and he's a friend who has many different talents. he's composed, written lyrics and, in shinee, he gives a lot of advice to our friends and in all sorts of ways. he does radio too so he talks to us based on many different experiences. so, i came to think of him as a friend who proposes "how about we do this?" when the team faces some kind of problem and wrote that (in the postcard), but this is really ... compromising (for me) ...
--
(jinki's explaination for his song requests.) onew: i'm choosing the songs that i want to hear, right? as a matter of fact, the songs i chose are songs that will truly allow jonghyun to pull out his true self and reveal as much as possible.
jonghyun: really? all three songs? indeed, since you know me so well ...
onew: it was really hard for me to pick but, uh, jonghyun is able to make this many fans feel moved through his singing, right? in a technical way, really technical... technique ... tech ...
jonghyun: i'm a technical vocalist, yes.
onew: ah, i couldn't think of it so, these days, i'm not sure~. going in and out ... [translator's note: it seems jinki was randomly throwing words that sound kind of similar and rhyme-y: "gingaminga" = not sure, "deullaknallak" = in and out.]
jonghyun: gingaminga. (ie: you weren't sure)
onew: anyway, because i thought it would be good if we could show that side of you to everyone together, and when i listen beside you, i wanted to think: "ah, this kid has this side to him, too."
jonghyun: it must be a really difficult song?
onew: yes.
jinki requested songs that he wanted to hear, without a doubt ... when he requested the gwiomyi song jonghyun was like: "ah, why is this hyung being like this?" but jinki was totally serious. jonghyun was jumping around ranting, "why does it have to be the gwiyomi song?!" but jinki was totally calm.
jonghyun kept going "ing~ing~ (a whining noise) because jinki kept making him do cute songs so jinki said jonghyun usually does things that look "cool" but is normally really cute. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ jonghyun said: "i'm manly though ..." and jinki was like: "that's why~ i'm saying~ let's show an unexpected~ side of you~" jinki was humoring and coaxing jonghyun.
--
jonghyun: i really gained a lot of strength from onew today. when shinee is promoting as five and holds concerts together it's really reassuing but, when i've had these solo concerts, i've kept on feeling like there would be problems and there is nobody (on stage) to make me laugh. it's really felt empty. onew-ssi is always the one who makes me laugh until i get really breathless. the second week (of the concerts) was really tough but i hope to get some laughs during the guest corner (this week). (onew chuckled at this.)
jonghyun said that him and onew are the "old men" in shinee. they kept calling each other "cute". onew has a lot of aegyo normally and jonghyun is the one who makes onew laugh when onew is tired.

They both have improved a lot as vocalists and it wouldn't be weird to affirm they're probably one of the best vocalists in kpop ever. I hope Jinki gets that solo and Jjong features in one of his songs / compose for him because I'm such trash for their relationship both in a professional and personal level.

Date: 2015-10-18 12:53 am (UTC)A friend also showed me some letters she found in weibo in where Onew apologized to Jonghyun for not being a good leader and Jonghyun was like "that's not true blah blah" but they look totally fake. And tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Onew's akgae fans who started these rumors. They particulary seem too fixated in that Jjong is a bully, most of the others are his minions and poor Onew is a martyr or something. There was this particular tumblr user that took every single Jongyu interaction as "bullying" by Jjong's part. It was ridiculous.
no subject
Date: 2015-10-18 02:16 am (UTC)it was definitely onew's akgae fans. it rooted from one or two onew akgae's who made up this outrageous story involving that fighting, ect. and pushed it enough that people started to believe it and the rest is obviously history. but, yeah, lmao. i know who you're talking about probably, there were a whole mess of onew akgae's on tumblr like that for awhile there in 2013-ish.

Date: 2015-10-18 04:42 am (UTC)also i think it's really interesting how the perceptions of shinee (or any group really) can differ so much between international and k-fans
no subject
Date: 2015-10-18 06:39 pm (UTC)it is. their image is so clean cut with k-fans when it comes to intergroup relations, ect. but there's so many international fans who're convinced their distant / cold with each other, lmao.
no subject
Date: 2015-10-18 11:25 pm (UTC)and the funniest thing is that despite blatantly showing how close they are now and flat out saying they're friends i'm sure there are still people thinking that they hate each other. i've also seen people criticizing that key didn't go to any of jjong's concerts unlike the other members so that would mean that jongkey hate each other too.
seriously, people talk crap about the hardcore shippers but people dying for every chance to scream "they hate each other!!1" are equally annoying.
no subject
Date: 2015-10-19 01:53 am (UTC)yeah it's so strange. i notice many fans see drama that isn't even there? like how international fans (idk if it was ever even a thing with kfans) still bring up key saying (over five years ago) that the best word he could think of that would describe his relationship with shinee was as his "members" and they use it to say the basically don't care for each other at all on a personal level. i really wonder what it is that causes such a distinction lol oh well it is what it is

Date: 2015-10-17 05:01 pm (UTC)I'm pretty new to the SHINee world (View did the trick and sucked me in^^) but I've always liked Jin Ki and their title tracks.
I LIVE for their interactions and Jonghyun and Jin Ki are the absolute cutest ♥ I was praying for this to happen ever since Taemin guested and now it really happened :') I legit teared up listening to 'Please Don't Go' because it's such a beautiful song and Jin Ki and Jonghyun's voices just harmonise so well!
When will SME give us that Jin Ki solo/Jongyu sub unit?!

Date: 2015-10-17 05:52 pm (UTC)ok, well just fuck me up why don't you jongyu ;;
jonghyun's voice has definitely changed since the last time they performed this song, yet it still works and is just as beautiful as it was years ago. i gotta admit i was a bit worried (i know i should stop because play the challenge jonghyun was phenomenal) their voices just go so well together....ah, now if only there was high quality video of the performance.
also posting one of my favorite jong fan cams bc of song, voice, hair, general face, fan chants and ofc mole.

Date: 2015-10-17 07:03 pm (UTC)i don't even know where to start, this is all just so cute. i'm also incredibly emotional over them performing 'please don't go' because you can hear how much they've improved over the years. this is all too much (but i've been feeling like that a lot thanks to shinee lately).
also, onew is great for trolling jjong with his song requests.

I heard about 1st ten minutes until Jjong was made to do Gwiyomi (it was adorable as frick, Jjong was embarassed but Jinki coaxed him into it).
Jongyu will never stop being precious, stay precious ;;;
