Dongwoo and Jonghyun



Priceless

Dongwoo also mentioned recently on V APP how kind Jonghyun is, and said once he drove him from Gangnam to Mapo

Remember when infinite and SHINee went to Brazil and Jonghyun became infinite's 8th member pic.twitter.com/FrcRJPEHVL

This is such a lovely post :')

I love it so much!

Thanks for this!! Put a huge smile on my face ^^

I still love that Woohyun is the only person Key follows on Instagram aside from SHINee's official instagram xD

ETA: I also love this Gyu/Minho vid cuz Gyu looked so happy to see him when he got off the stage <3 Wish it was subbed.

this is so cute oh my god ;;; and i miss toheart :(

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

jjong and woohyun together is my favourite thing in the world, sorry kibum

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

this is so cute. but i mean, i'm not surprised if gyu, dongwoo, woohyun are close with people from other groups bc they seem to get along easy with people. i'm still surprised hoya is close with key tho lol i remember before he said he's really awkward with key.

are they on a show in that video of woohyun driving key? bc there's so many cameras in the car

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

You totally just reminded me I forgot to add this moment in the post. lol

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

yeah i only know about that bc you (or someone else) posted it on rankingking before lol

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It was in my Mubank comeback post. Good thing I remembered where i put it, because i was not ready to go through a month worth of retweeted content. lol

Edit: also, I know it's totally unvolontary, but they keep tailing each others in the Melon Charts since Shinee came back. I find it really funny.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

ok. but why shinee is so low on the chart???

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

being around 20-25 in daytime (more indicative of general public) imo isn't very low for a boy group tbh. It's even pretty good all things considered. I mean, we all know most boy groups usually can get away with a big fandom, but have no public recognition. Groups like 2PM and GOT7 are prime exemple. They were usually hang around 60th and 90th, and then disappeared of the charts after their first week.

I didn't pay attention to Shinee's ranks on streaming charts before, but were they higher in the past? I know they have a big fandom, as all SMe boygroups, but I don't remember them being digital monsters who dominate like girls groups do (such as red velvet who have been a solid 5th for 3 weeks already). I'm asking you because you seem to have, judging by your reaction, higher expectations of shinee's digital rank. Or is it that you think Infinite really usually suck and should not be as high as Shinee?

Fun fact: Infinite debuted at 2nd on Melon realtime charts, while Shinee debuted at 4th.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

oh it's daytime. but still i thought they'd be higher and not on par w/ifinite's song that's a few weeks old already. but eh idk how their track record is with digital sells.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

In the compilation i did above, when you see them 5-6th, it's nighttime. And daytime they're obviously lower around 20-25. But it's still good in both cases. In fact, if you go check Melon now, the rest of both Infinite and Shinee's albums are still in the top 100. lol

This is the screen i just took. It's for their rank at 6pm kst.


I know it can be surprising that Infinite are still doing pretty good (and arguably even better than Shinee that came back like 2 days ago) even after 3 weeks, but heh, they seem to have pretty decent public recognition. A lot of boygroup stans tend to underestimate Infinite because their fandom can't boast album sells like Shinee, BTS or Exo do, but don't forget their digitals, while not rooftop-breaking, are much better than the average boygroup's.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

yea i guess it shows infinite does have good enough recognition with korean public/local fanbase

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

late, but yea: shinee's always done pretty well digitally. there's been a few singles that didn't do AS well as their others or well overall (a.mi.go, why so serious and married to the music, specifically) but they'd been consistent overall. view was like #40 on gaon's year end digital chart for 2015, and 1of1 is doing well overall across all digital charts at the moment. (1of1 is doing the best out of all idol singles released in the last three weeks, if you look at the instiz chart.) infinite and shinee do pretty similar digitally, imo. shinee has an edge on them sometimes / because their career is longer but.

1of1 actually debuted well given their competition, imo. they usually debuted at #1/#2 on melon, but they released at the same time as ailee, and a day after park hyo shin's newest song so they were at a disadvantage. most idol groups are right now, tbh. it sucks for everyone.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Agreed bout the last paragraph. Shinee had to come back one day after Park Hyoshin, and Infinite were 2nd because Im Chang Jung was rooted at number 1. Ah these solo singers ruining our perfect streaks! smh
I'm joking I'm joking. Good for them!

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

also don't forget they're releasing with didgital monsters like PHS and IM Chang Jun and others so this is good for and idol male group

[niyarav.livejournal.com]

Aww I love this post. They are all so cute, it warms my heart.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Completely random, but I find it really funny that without even doing it on purpose, they keep tailing each other on Melon Charts, all the way since Shinee came back. lol



Note: when they're 5-6th, it's nighttime (with fans streaming like crazy). And when they're around 20th, it's daytime (more indicative of the general public's liking.

SO much cuteness in one post, thank you OP for sharing this! <3
