   ONEW'S FUN FACTS 
Onew joined SHINee after being casted at the SM Academy in 2006. He dreamed to be a singer ever since high school after hearing people praised him for his soft chocolate vocals. He also achieved an outstanding result of ranking 2nd in his second last year of high school. Nicknamed Dubu cos of his soft/ pure personality and Ontokki cos of his 2 bunny teeth; you will never be convinced that he is the eldest in the group as his cute and adorkable personality never leaves him.

Although he is the chubbiest member of the group, fans love him for his ongguns, onthighs and onbuns (LOL) and we must never forget his captivating smiling-eyes and contagious smile, which are his best features that proceeds in killing numerous noonas in the entertainment world: Ye Eun, Seungyeon, Lee Sooyoung and Jung Juri etc are a notable few who have fallen under the charms of our dubu leader 


He calls himself "flubber" as he is very unpredictable and has the ability to surprise everyone with his odd talents such as Trot Singing, Donald Duck imitations, Spinning Tables and Body Gags. His Onew sangtae (condition) stems from these talents and has never failed to impress people / make people laugh on variety shows, which earned him a permanent MC spot on Night Star.

His talents don’t stop here; he recently composed the lyrics for “Your Name” in their  latest Lucifer album and has participated in a few duets with Jonghyun, Jessica and Kim Yeonwoo etc in SHINee’s previous albums. Having already casted in 2 musicals (Brothers Were Brave and Rock of Ages), there is so much more this young man is capable to show.

He acquires to be a “decent bad boy”, yet fans know that he is the nicest and most humble person ever who never gets mad at his fellow members for teasing him. Being the filial son as he is, he wakes up to his mom’s text messages every morning and recently bought his dad a car with the money he earned. 

Last but certainly not least, we can never forget about his OTP, Fried Chicken. He loves it more than his son, Yoogeun.

** LA! Once you start thinking about eating chicken or acting random, you might not realize it but you have already fallen for our Dubu leader (; ** 

Everybody Chicken! Bbyong”

Casting System

   JONGHYUN'S FUN FACTS 
Jonghyun was first discovered in  2005 by an SM Entertainment recruiter while performing at an outside  venue with his High School band mates.  Before he became a trainee, he  used to be the bassist in his own High School band.  

Music has always been a big factor  in Jonghyun’s life.  Even when he was a trainee, instead of going to  class, he would head over to the SM building and practice all day. He  has trained harmonization for 3 years. A "dino" who can play the bass, guitar, piano and is able to reach 4 octaves!

Due to their similar features,  Jonghyun is known as one of the three "Dinosaur" siblings in the SM  family along with F(x)’s Amber and Super Junior’s Donghae. Hence, this  is where his nickname Dino/raptor originates from. Since he is the  shortest member in SHINee (especially next to Minho, LOL) he has what  you might call a slight "Height Complex".  But that doesn’t stop our  Bling Bling from working out at the gym; the results of his hard work  can be seen in their "Lucifer" MV. Of course, he can’t lose to Minho in  everything! 

One of the most important people in  Jonghyun’s life is his older sister whom he loves very much.  To some,  Jonghyun might seem a bit cold at first, but that’s only because he  takes a bit longer to warm up to others.  When he does become close to  someone, he holds onto them very dearly. 

Walking in the pathway to become a  composer, he has stomped lyrics for "Juliette", "UP & DOWN", as well  as "Obsession".  Writing lyrics isn’t his only specialty as many are  aware of his explosive vocals. He has been praised by well known and  respected artists like Wheesung, 4men, Jung Yeop, Baek Ji Young and many  others.  As Jonghyun once said, "I sing with my soul".  

Although he may not look it, our  puppy Jjong is a romanticist and a very emotional one at that. Dubu  leader once mentioned that when Bling starts crying, he cries the whole  day, remembering one emotional event after another. ㅋ ㅋ 

A talkative dino who is confident  of his looks and understands the importance of health. Jjong is #1 in  skinship and has an S-line body along with a sexy mole on his chest! A  banana smoothie date is essential for this dino or he will suffer from "Onew sangtae". The word "embarrassing" comes to him when he dances to  girl group songs unlike diva Key.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

  Do not judge this dino by his height cos he can run at an amazing  speed! Love him for who he is and you'll find him the most lovable dino  on Earth! ♥

   KEY'S FUN FACTS 
Key auditioned for SM Entertainment in 2005 but unfortunately, he failed. But his dream of becoming a singer since childhood days didn’t allow him to stop there, he auditioned again in 2006 and during his 2nd try, only 2 people were to be accepted; he was one of them. His stage name comes from the fact that he loves to solve things. Key is the "triple-threat" in SHINee, he is gifted with skills in singing, rapping, & dancing hence his "Almighty" title. His personal talent is imitating other people and even a robotic character from a cartoon show, the classic line being "Woah! Money! With money anything can be done!!”. He’s also good at learning girl groups’ dance and learns it really quickly by just watching it several times. 
He (sort of) cooks, does chores and loves to take care of other people. In SHINee, he’s known as Key umma. At first he was just Taemin's umma, after that his nagging extends to include all of the members, and now it is becoming that he nags at whoever he sees. As he’s becoming naggier and naggier, Taemin no longer calls him “umma” now (LOL). Key loves children and is good at playing with them. He always wants to get married soon so that he can has a children of his own.

Key takes good care of his belongings. He’s good at preparing and analyzing, belongs to the kind who is able to work out a plan from scratch with just a single detail. He really hates people touching/using his stuffs without permission. He had the habit of writing journal/diary since he was a child and is still doing it now.

He loves making friends with people around his ages. He and his 91-line (including some idols that were born in the year 1991 like 2AM's Jung Jinwoon, Beast's Son Dongwoon, Kara's Jung Nicole, After School's NANA, MBLAQ's Mir) are really close with each other. Key said there’s no 91-er amongst the idols that he doesn’t know.

Kibum has a love-hate relationship with horror movies and horror stories, he yearns for them but he is also scared of them, he likes them but he also dislikes them. He lost his composure/image in the cinema many times because of that, he is only able to rent horror movies/dramas to watch at home to continue scaring himself. Other members know about it and always try to scare him at the dorm by suddenly popping out from nowhere and shout at him. Key said he really hates whenever they do it. 
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Key’s a really honest/straight person. He once stated it in an interview “I can't say things I don't mean, say that I like things I hate, or hate things I like. And more than anything, I can't lie to myself". For instance, if a fan asks MinHo if she’s beautiful, MinHo will answer immediately “YES” without looking at her. With Key, he will look at her in like 10 seconds first and then consider his answer. Sometimes his honesty pissed off other people but if you know him well, you will understand that he just takes every aspect in life seriously and has a his own realistic way of seeing things.

He can be a bit more mature than kids at same age but can act really childish sometimes. Key’s a dog-lover, he has a dog back home named Coco. He also loves watching animation movies. If you have an intention of sending him a gift for his birthday, you should find something like a Sponge Bob with a size of human, or custom yourself in Mr. Potato outfits and jump into a gift box, or at least wrap your present with a wrapping paper that has one of these two things on it 
ㅋㅋㅋ

He’s also known as the group's fashionista. Red, white, blue, it is normal for him to carry off these colors, but for colors like pink and grass green which are more difficult to pull off, he is still able to do it. He loves colorful outfits and girls’ accessory, that’s why he prefers outfits during Juliette days the most. Key loves online shopping and spends lot of his money on it. It’s said that when they came back from Thailand after schedule, there were 2 big parcels waiting for him in front of the dorm.

Key loves cameras (in all means LOL). He loves taking photos of himself and other members. He has an instant camera (the cute little pink Polaroid) and brings it like everywhere he goes. Key has an instinct of spotting camera (camera-radar), fans call it "Keymera".

There’s also one more thing that you should know about Key which is his love towards his grandma. When he was a child, his father (working in banking & finance) was really busy and his mother was sick. He was raised by his grandma and really close to her since then. She’s always the one that gives him supports and also the first one that he asks for opinion in everything he does.
