SHINee has been featured on the cover of the June edition of Elle Girl Korea.
The magazine is complete with pictures and individual interviews with all the SHINee members. Here are a few excerpts from the full interview:
Onew : Instead of lecturing members and telling them to do this and that, I’m just in charge of listening (to them) since everyone is doing their part very well already. (I) understand them and walk my own path. Through activities with SHINee, my personality has changed a lot. Became more out-going? Compared to before, I’ve become closer with everyone. First of all, being recognized by a lot of people makes me feel good.
Jonghyun : I’m sensitive and easily moved to tears. Usually all our emotional rhythm goes “up” during performances. My emotion seems to become uncontrollable as all kinds of thoughts come to me. But I’m not crying because I am sad. Most vocalists don’t like their own voices very much. Some of them receive training to change their voices. But I can at least assure you; I can make whoever listens to my singing recognize it like “Ah, this is SHINee Jonghyun,” instantly. I think I have my own distinct color.
Key : I wondered if it wasn’t too much when it was announced we’d have a concert in Japan, because we didn’t make any amazing sale records with our license albums and didn’t make an official debut. I was surprised when so many fans turned up; I cried at the ending both times. What if I don’t make it after I set my mind to something? Then I become a failure. I think I’ll achieve something if I work hard. If I have fun and live happily, I think there’s nothing more I have to do.
Minho : I think I’m rather serious and prudent. I’ve been like this from my childhood; but I like exercise very much, especially (by) playing with a ball. I’m very competitive, desiring to win and do well whatever I do. Haha. It’s now Champions League season, so I’m trying not to miss any game. I’m also studying Japanese hard for our upcoming Japanese activities. Oh, I find it really difficult as I learn more.
