jonghyun-11


On October 20’s episode of “Happy Together,” SHINee has the chance to talk a bit about the true nature of their relationship as a group.

Host Yoo Jae Suk asks Jonghyun to clarify what he previously meant when he said that SHINee had been formed for business reasons. Jun Hyun Moo expresses his shock at the comment, but the guys ask why that’s surprising.

“We came together for work,” explains Jonghyun. “We didn’t know each other before we joined the agency.” Yoo Jae Suk responds that after nine years together, some groups might not describe their relationship as business-like.

Jonghyun then asks him when he and Park Myung Soo met, and Yoo Jae Suk admits that they met because of work twenty years ago. “So you got closer while you worked together,” points out Jonghyun. “Your relationship was formed on the basis of your work.”

“We’re the same way,” he goes on to say. “We’re extremely close.”

Minho admits, “When I first heard that Jonghyun said that, I thought, ‘Why did he have to say it like that?’ I was a bit upset. But if you try to understand the meaning behind what he said, it’s that we were like that in the beginning, but now we are both loyal and close to each other. It’s because of work that we have this relationship.”

In response, Jonghyun smiles, seemingly pleased that Minho understood, and Key bumps him with his elbow playfully while Onew nods.

I still remember the post when Key said the same thing, lol. Honestly, after what happened with TVXQ, I am satisfied where their relationship as a group lie; not all groups can pull off a Shinhwa. They're looking happy and healthy, so let them be.

I mean, TVXQ still see SM members on the regular. You can be friends but at the end of the day it is a work relationship and even best friends have to separate businesses if it's not best for them.

I doubt there's any group that isn't at least minimal friends after 5+ years regardless of how much of a business relationship it is.

While business relationships can develop further down the road, I still think it's better for fans to be realistic on them. If SMAP can disband after being together for 25+ years, then anything can happen to any idol group, IMO.

Oh for sure. I'd separate myself from a company with family members if I knew it wasn't right for me/the company.

I think it will forever be a mystery why they decided to disband instead of taking a forever hiatus. Something must happened and nobody knew about it except themselves/inside people. But I know for sure KimuTaku didnt want it but the others definitely prefer to disband rather then staying together.

THEY DISBANDED? damn that's wild. what coulda happened that it was so bad to make them disband after so many years (and so many scandals/in group bickering lol). that's really too bad. but at least they had a good run? :( im out of the loop on jpop news wow.

Yes, they will officially disbanded on 31/12 this year. Dont straightly believe when I said the others want to disband but thats the vibe that I got when I read their statements or how they respond towards the break-up.

I think its must be really bad since they even want to end nearly 3 decades legacy. I'm not exactly their fans but somehow I feel kind of sad as they did so much and they stay together for soooooo long. What could have happened? Japanese fans are taking it the hard way. And even Japan President Abe give his thoughts lol since the break-up somehow will effect Japan's economy?

KinKi is in the middle of celebrating their 20th anniversary this year until next year. They are taking the anniversary seriously so we have been showered with really awesome rare releases for the past couple of months.They are still a very awesome performers and their concert last year is one of the grandest they ever did lol. 8D

minho looks so good in pink.
i was never bothered by the comment even before he explained it. did it make any big fuss in the media? now that he clarified it does just seem odd to mention in the first place , but minho's explanation was really nice and thorough.

oh i confused key's comment with this one, but yeah jonghyun handled the question well in relating it to yjs and pms. yeah i was confused as to how I don't remember this being a scandal in the news yet yjs treated it as if it was.

i can barely pretend to tolerate groupmates i'm forced to work with on short-term projects so i can't believe how exhausting it must be to be put into a group with people i don't know/am not on good terms w/etc for years until everyone eventually gets along somewhat

I really hope there is some basis to these questions, because so far, they just seem super random.

It seems K-Shawols are upset by the treatment they got on the show.

There was nothing wrong with his comments to begin with, tbh. I mean, my workmates aren't the first friends I'd consider when asked who my best friends are and we all have our own lives outside of work which we prefer not to share with each other. However, I can expect them to visit me when I'm sick in the hospital, greet me on my birthday, be happy for me when I achieve stuff, and have nice conversations with me over lunch. That's how I interpreted Jonghyun's comments and that's a healthy relationship which I think is the key to their longevity.

This. I'm assuming it's the hardcore stans that are the only ones actually upset about this. Not being someone's first contact doesn't mean you're not close but y'know, stans will be stans

I remember saying that SHINee came together for work during Taemin's Danger debut and my inbox on Tumblr.........lmao.

I 100% agree with your comment. I don't see the problem.

SIGH this is a guy who days ago said in response to a question of would he choose to be in shinee again if he was taken to nine years ago - in the space of a heartbeat - yes, but only if it's these members. definitely yes, but only with them.

i was never fazed by key's GQ interview in 2010.

i think it's rly wise of jongkey and v. in line with their personalities. also 100% understand why minho, with his personality, would've been pretty devastated.

also, questions in happy together often seem really random - even yoo jae suk can't switch topics seamlessly some of the time. every guest is given a list of questions to fill out before their appearance, and the writers try to make links, but often ... there just isn't. i watched the ep today and was kinda disappointed actually - it's not often shinee all go on variety together, and they weren't used particularly well. (or maybe i'm just very over hyun moo, and didn't even enjoy the females that came on this time round).

I feel like they've had to clarify this several times and I've only been into kpop a few years

I feel like at this point mcs keep asking this question to try and stir up drama where there is none.
I was crushed by the TVXQ break up and prefer SHINee's group dynamic to any in kpop because they are able to be friends yet respect reach others boundaries.
If you see people 24/7 your bound to fight sometimes giving each other space is what I believed as helped them stay so strong as a unit. Doesn't mean they arent friends or have a strong bound at all, even my best friend (of 8+ years) need time to not hang out all the time.

The most that any working relationship can have is some cordiality. It's really great that they became friends. I never expect this of any group or band that I follow. It is a business relationship primarily for the majority of them.

this is a non-issue and having a business relationship shouldn't be a bad thing for any type of job, including the entertainment industry. developing friendships could be looked at as an added perk but not necessary so long as these co-workers respect each other and work harmoniously. anyway it doesn't even seem that way anymore for these boys they look really comfortable and mellow around each other

I was never upset by key's comment so when it was made a big deal back then I was so suprised. I don't remember jonghyun saying anything like that but were being honest. as much as we love our faves groups at the end of the day it's their job so they're going to look at it as work.

I'm glad they have a healthy relationship with one another and they respect each others privacy. I believed them when they said this so I'll believe them now when they say they've gotten close. I think having their own schedules def. helped them get closer.

I too think having indivdual activities has helped their relationship. Onew has said a couple how its important for them to have time apart so when they're together they have stuff to talk about. Sometimes absense does rly make the heart fonder.

As for where the question came from it might be from a comment Jjong made at 1of1 showcase (iirc) where he said the members don't share they're private life. Interestingly Key kinda clarified that comment already on a radio program later saying SHINee don't share their private life cuz it tends to pop up naturally in conversation and then exposed Jjong as the one who spills the most on hos personal life lol

Eh, I honestly don't get why that comment was even worth mentioning. Regardless of what the guys may have said in the past,or of how their relationship evolved over the years, I think their group dynamic is great these days. And I hope it stays that way.

hm. so silly of them to ask this tbh. imo they have one of the best group dynamics in kpop. their business relationship and life relationship work for them.

i honestly didn't see the problem the first go around lol i mean, ofc they came together because of work but once you know someone for that long, it's only natural you become close. people who hate each other or don't mesh well don't stay together for 9 god damn years and counting, just saying. so i don't see the point in these questions. seems like they just tying to start shit where there is none tbh
