SM wants China, SHINee now Animal-style

[http://users.livejournal.com/reminisce__/]

How popular is Hallyu in Shanghai? Just take a look at SM TOWN LIVE concert and you will know. Last Saturday, SM TOWN LIVE concert was held in Shanghai. On that day, DBSK members Yunho and Changmin, Super Junior, SHINee, F(X), SNSD and many top stars and idols made their appearance, making the crowds go wild. SM also took the chance and signed endorsements with various China brands for SHINee and F(X) during their visit.

SHINee is the second boy group introduced by SM Entertainment following Super Junior’s success, with Leader Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Taemin and Minho. Recently they came back with their new album ‘Lucifer’ and had achieved excellent results in Korea. Currently, they have set breaking into the Chinese market as their number 1 goal. In our short interview with them, they revealed that they once went to Beijing to study the Chinese language, and even had lessons on Wushu as well.


As entertainment agencies in Korea generally has strict management, hence other than spending all their time on practice and rest, all five members exclaimed that they have no dating experience at all. “We really haven’t dated anyone before. When we were trainees, we couldn’t date. After we debuted we were really busy all the more we can’t.” With busy personal schedules, they do not have much time for themselves. So whenever SHINee have time to rest, they will be hanging around and cracking jokes together. During the interview, the most common word we heard was ‘Rabbit’. Why Rabbit?

In order to highlight each member’s outstanding and unique character, SM Entertainment has specially chosen 5 animals to portray their individual image. Leader Onew a rabbit, Jonghyun a dog, Key a fox, Minho a cow and Taemin portrays a cat. And because ‘Rabbit’ Onew has a good temper, hence he is always ‘bullied’ by the rest.

[miliy96.livejournal.com]

What?

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

onew should have been a chicken.

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

then he would've eaten himself, and then there'd be no more Onew left.

GOD AKKA, YOU'RE SO STUPID!

[xkimchi-ninja.livejournal.com]

[gigiettu.livejournal.com]

So disappointed Jonghyun isn't a dinosaur and Minho isn't a frog.

[jaemin0.livejournal.com]

mte. especially the dino part. thats like..jjong's signature.

[yellyell.livejournal.com]

Key should be a mouse~

[miyavi-type.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Amber would agree with this comment.

[okdubu.livejournal.com]

lol.

[roxas.livejournal.com]

Minho should be a giraffe... because they're both tall. okay no, idk.

jjong is a dinosaur. :(

[absentspectator.livejournal.com]

And Minho has a long neck or at least he seemed like he did when he had long hair.

[blingasaurus.livejournal.com]

IA about his puppy dog eyes *_* (http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac311/atrapforfools/jonghyun.png)

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

okay well key being a fox, and taemin being a cat makes sense. and yeah i guess jjong being a dog makes sense too. dogs can be a bit dumb, yet they are loyal.

but I'm failing to see the connection between minho and a cow.

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

Maybe the big eyes? Since Siwon and Yoona have dibs on horse and deer?

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

I suspected this. The fact that all five of them are said to know Mandarin made me think they would promote them in China before Japan.

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA don't know if they can really be said to know Mandarin though. - thinks back to Onew calling himself a snail in a past interview - But if they promote in Mandarin ... Whoo! Yay! Something I can understand.

[maple88.livejournal.com]

Key really is foxy. Har har.

No dating experience?
Really, Jonghyun?

[clroo.livejournal.com]

IKR? he didnt even deny that he didnt date on that nightstar show with onew!!

at least they got the teeth right in the second one

[akari-hayashi.livejournal.com]

Their interview for H2 was lulzy, all the rabbit mentions.

MINHO'S A COW WHUT?
Agree with fox!Key and cat!Taemin though. I was just chatting to a friend about this yesterday, about dog-like vs cat-like faces. And we agreed that Jjong is a dog and Key is a cat (close to a fox at least).

[booneral.livejournal.com]

lmao what is this article. the no dating, the animals, WHAT.

[redglare.livejournal.com]

hahahaha, I can so see all of them bullying Onew~ Especially Taemin, idk why

That picture is so adorable. ;3;

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

Minho should have been a Ox.

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

an*

[devilslover422.livejournal.com]

um...a cow??!?!?!? ide

[clroo.livejournal.com]

i think on a show before shinee said minho's eyes are so big that they resemble a deer's, but key siad he should be a cow, cuz the cow is the sacred animal of south kroea or something lol O.O

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

Minho is a cow?

Dying right now.

My response to Minho being called a cow

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

I thought Taemin was a chicken. That does NOT look like a cat to me.

[dainty-empress.livejournal.com]

They're not talking about the picture, Jasmine :) That came from an episode of Hello Baby

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

Jonghyun is a dinosaur, not a dog. I think Taemin should be the fox and Key should be the cat.

[orangejuice14.livejournal.com]

Minho a cow

LOL

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

ROFL.

WRONG ANIMALS SM. WRONG ANIMALS.

[chocoholicnoiz.livejournal.com]

I thought Taem was a chick or something lol. Sm, pay attention to fangirls.

[redglare.livejournal.com]

"I thought Taem was a chick"
