LEDApple‘s Hanbyul called Jonghyun during his hospital stay.

On a recent episode of MBC‘s ‘Sharing Happiness‘, Hanbyul went to an orphanage to spend time with the children. When he heard that the children were SHINee fans, he decided to call up Jonghyun, who is his good friend.

LEDApple had often covered SHINee before, so it was a pleasant surprise for fans when they heard the two talking informally as close friends do. He let one of the girls talk to Jonghyun, and she gave a scream of delight. Hanbyul joked, “The girls are going crazy. They don’t know LEDApple at all, but SHINee…“. Jonghyun replied, “That’s not true.”

Hanbyul then handed his phone over to a boy, who asked, “I have something to ask! How good looking are you?“. Jonghyun showed off his trademark wit and replied, “I’m five times better looking than Hanbyul.”

Jonghyun sounded a little tired, but still it’s good to hear from him! It’s also good to see Hanbyul spending time with the orphaned children.

He went on, “But thanks to my insomnia, I’ve been able to compose songs and write lyrics. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved music. When I was in middle school, I wanted to grow up to become a music composer. I decided very early on to make music my life. So I joined a band before I was discovered by SM Entertainment and now here I am as a singer.” 

He said wistfully, “I hope one day I’ll be able to show my work to someone I know. Yesterday, I finished composing another song and allowed the viewers to sample his work.” He also shared, “I was so excited for my solo trip to Japan, I just couldn’t sleep last night. You know, when your heart flutters because of the excitement when you’re in love? Kind of like that, where it’s impossible to fall asleep. I take those feelings and I put them in my songs.”

Jonghyun chided himself as well saying, “I shouldn’t be fooling around that late at night. But there are just some nights that are filled with emotions even I can’t ignore.”

SHINee wants to be good role models for rookie artists

Backstage at KBS 2TV‘s ‘Music Bank‘ on the 22nd, SHINee‘s Minho opened up about his group’s latest comeback.

Minho shared, “I think we came back with a bit of nervousness due to the pressure to excel. Although ['Dream Girl'] is good, it is more spectacular when you see it with the performance. I think more people will like it after seeing us perform. Rather than trying to go above people’s expectations, we are trying to show a new style of performance.”

To make up for SHINee’s 11-month hiatus, Minho shared his plans to be active in Korea until fans eventually get sick of him (if that’s ever possible) and revealed, “We plan to conduct many activities in Korea this year. I personally want to do a lot of it. We plan to perform in Korea until people get tired of us and say ‘why don’t you start performing overseas?”

Minho also wants to be a role model for rookie singers stating, “Upon seeing more and more rookie singers, I think to myself ‘I should work harder and show a better side’ so that we can hear that we’re good seniors and we want to be good role models.” 

It seems SHINee have already accomplished their goal of becoming good examples by recently proving why they’re masters on stage.

SHINee’s Jonghyun is obsessed with anime?

S
SHINee‘s Jonghyun may be an otaku. The idol star bared his obsession with anime on the February 19th broadcast of MBC Music‘s ‘SHINee’s Wonderful Day‘.

On his trip to Japan, Jonghyun spent a day in an animation mall, looking through loot from anime series like ‘One Piece‘ and ‘Gundam‘. He mentioned that even during promotions with SHINee, he studied Japanese in order to understand anime better.

Jonghyun was also disappointed by the high prices of some souvenirs, like a 3D Gundam image for 2,700 Japanese yen (35,000 KRW; ~32.50 USD). He was pretty satisfied with how he spent his free time, however. 

He said happily, “Spending a day with anime in Japan felt like I was returning to my childhood roots. It was romantic.“

Jonghyun clears up misunderstandings related to dropping out of high school

Jonghyun cleared up what he really meant in an earlier interview.

The interview for Nylon with SHINee was revealed earlier today, where he was asked, “What do you especially regret?“. He answered, “Dropping out. I don’t think it was that great to drop out of high school to go to the music school. I felt like I was wasting my time studying back then, but now that I look back on it, I don’t think it had to be like that. But still, it’s not that I have a lot of regret and feel guilty.”

After he read how his own words came out in the interview, he must have realized that it was open to some misinterpretation. So Jonghyun took to his Twitter to clarify what he really meant by sharing, “Going to Smi (Seoul Music Institute) was the most important turning point in my life, and the best decision. There must have been a miscommunication of some sort. I feel disappointed about it all, but I don’t have any regrets.“
