[news] Minwoo clears up the rumors about the mystery girl in the photos, mystery girl's identity revealed


n an interview on the 19th Minwoo spoke up about these pictures saying, "The woman in the photos circulating the internet a dongsaeng I’m close to. The photos were taken because she said she wanted to take photos together. To have this blow up into news when it is not true, it not hurts me, but also the friend in the photo. Next time, I’ll come up with countermeasures," This goes to show that pictures really are worth a thousand words.

[news] SHINee - ELLE GIRL December Vol. "Who Is The Strongest Idol in 2009 The Year of Idol Battle?"


Note from Translator: She translated it in a rush so the names of the critics might not be precisely exact.
It is only SHINee- relevant. This came from the SHINee soompi thread so the other groups' bits were not translated - plus translator was rushed /having her college entrance exams now.

ELLE GIRL December Vol. "Who Is The Strongest Idol in 2009 The Year of Idol Battle?"

1. 2009 Best Idol Group
2. Member with the best vocals.
3. Most stylish member.
4. Member with the best body.
5. Member who looks the most attractive/charismatic
6. Member who is slightly underrated.
7. Member whose solo debut will be most anticipated.
8. Member whose activities in other arenas will be anticipated.
9. My dream group.
10. The group that is most likely to last very long.



Cha Hyunjin (Mass Communication and Culture Critic)

2. SHINee Jonghyun- ★Member with the best vocals★
Jonghyun who used to be a member of a punk rock band before entering SM, possesses a unique and beautiful voice and smooth usage of different techniques, making it irresistable to be not biased to Jonghyun's vocal.

3. SHINee Taemin- ★Most stylish member★
If in the idol world, 2PM is the epitome of the 'male body', then SHINee is the group that shows the 'shedding of traces of growing up'. In this way. Taemin as a teenager, presents his charms soundlessly to everyone. His own style can also be said to be a innate expression of excellence.

5. SHINee Minho- ★Member who looks the most attractive/charismatic★
The criteria for a pretty boy may be always changing, but 'looks' are still affirmed with no relation to time or era. That's the case for Jang Dong Gun, Jung Hyun Sung and Jo In Sung. There will be no objections to including Minho amongst them.

10. Big Bang & SHINee- ★The group that is most likely to last very long★
As of now, SHINee appears to have the most room for development/growing up. Am also anticipating Big Bang to fully conquer the Asian market, so I see the possibilities of these two groups being able to last long in the industry.


Kim Bomi (Elle Fischer Editor)

9. Big Bang Top, 2PM Taecyeon, SS501 Kim Hyun Joong, SHINee Jonghyun - My dream group.
For Top, it will be the role of the Rapper and Leader for sure, Jonghyun will be Main Vocal, Kim Hyun Joong will be Sub-Vocal and Harmony, and Taecyeon will have the role of rapping and providing a bright smile?


Cho Minki (Loving Flower Boys Section Writer)

8. SHINee Key - Member whose activities in other arenas will be anticipated.
SHINee's previous healthy image shows a suitable amount of realism and also talents which are not detestable, this making people feel that he is more lively. Seems to be able to have good showings in variety in the future.


Kim Mongpo (Style List)

5. SHINee Jonghyun - Member who looks the most attractive/charismatic
Got this feeling while having a photoshoot with SHINee recently. Even though he has the looks of a teenager, but there is this air of manliness that I have never felt from him before. Like a playful soccer player.

7. SHINee Jonghyun - Member whose solo debut will be most anticipated.
His vocal and performance abilities have yet to integrate adequately into one body. If adding the strength of SM Fanclub, his solo will definitely have a success rate of at least 90%.


Roo Sujin (Mnet Writer)

2. SHINee Jonghyun & 2AM Changmin - Members who possesses the best vocal abilities.
SHINee's Jonghyun is an amazing idol who sings better during Live than in lipsynced performances. 2AM's Changmin is able to to reach out and touch me who is 30 years old with his voice.

[info]091119 Korea Pretty Boygroups – DBSK Kim JaeJoong vs. SuJu Kim HeeChul



The most important factor for Korean boy bands to increase their popularity rapidly in China is that every single member of the group is handsome and charming. We can tell by all the popular Korean boy groups in China that every one of them are pretty boys, not losing to any of the pretty girls on the street. Of course before a group’s debut, the agency company would normally arrange the most charming member within the group to attract the public’s attention. The beauty of Kim JaeJoong from Dong Bang Shin Ki is unquestionable and the beauty of Kim HeeChul who is from the same agency company group Super Junior is also well-known for his pretty face.

http://twistedstars.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/pic_l_09.jpg

Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Kim JaeJoong

Nickname: Flower Flower (花花 = Hua Hua)

The first time you see him you’ll be visually shocked, and the effect stays the same for the second and forth. This is Kim JaeJoong, his beauty if cold yet irresistible and his coldness normally makes one feel unreachable; but once you get to know him you will get to see his warm hearted personality. He reached the height for his popularity based on his talent with his heavenly vocals and charming looks. Maybe JaeJoong was born as a beauty for the sake of the performing stage.

“Everyone might think I’m very confident with my own look because I had won the best-faced award, but that’s not true. If I’m asked to choose the past of me that I’m most confident of then it’ll have to be my eyebrows, and I have no confidence for the others. Talking about my road as a single, I was tone deaf way back during my high school time, and at that point of time I was really upset because I was said that I’m bad at singing, but this is the start of my success and as time goes by I started to enjoy singing and found the beauty of it!”

JaeJoong who was still tone deaf till ages 14 had worked hard for his dream with determination, and from a tone deaf to an angel who sings heavenly, together with Cassiopeia he had grown up realizing his dream.

Super Junior’s Kim HeeChul

Nickname: Cinderella, Princess of Mars

The beauty of Kim HeeChul is coquettish, he’s gentle like women and yet has the determination of a man, and therefore he has the ablity to attract both men and women. The first time seeing him is in the music video of ‘Twins’, a red headed person with big round eyes is enough to make one dumbstruck. “This kid is really pretty!” many people had said, but as time goes by it’s his personality, smart and his ability to eloquent well that attracts others attention.

From a certain point of view it can be said that the success of Super Junior is mainly because of Kim HeeChul and this is because he uses his ability to attract attention by his charming characteristic and soon put the focus onto the huge group of 13 members.

The beauty of Kim HeeChul had caused him to be a little obsessed with himself, but those people who are obsessed with themselves are usually adorable. On the popular Korean variety show ‘Star Golden Bell’, when ‘Princess’ was asking what the secret of his popularity was he said, “One’s look plays a big part to it, but there are many other points to it too, therefore don’t judge just on my looks only.”

Kim HeeChul is one of the precious few in Korea who are excelled in all areas, he can sing, dance, host, act and compose too. Especially the SBS drama ‘Golden Bride’ which he acted in had achieved an excellent rating of 32.2%. That drama had also received an award in China after it’s DVD release in China this year.
