Some questions about their lives...they are pretty good friends too. :)

1) Living together
SHINee members have been living together for the past 5 months.
All the members each have their own jobs around the house and live in a systematic and fun way.
In the beginning, it was uncomfortable because their living patterns were different. But after they started having conversations with one another right before they went to bed, they learned alot more about eachother.

When Key sees his members eating cold food, he re-heats the food for them.
Because Taemin likes meat, Onew cooks him meat in the mornings and then sends him off to school.

2) First performance memories
Shinee members could not be any more nervous during their first performace rehearsal.
All the lyrics and choreography disappeared from their minds. As soon as they heard ” Shinee come up please” they went onto the stage and saw that all the seats were full of fans. Their parents even came. As soon as they got up on stage, the members shared quick eye contacts with eachother and was able to finish their first performance safely. After they finished their performance, they could feel their body strength loosening up. They say that they will never ever be able forget the feelings they felt after their first performance.

3) School Records
Leader Onew’s best school ranking was being #2 (whole school and class)!
Taemin’s grades are around average. During elementary school he was a president (idk if they mean of his class or something else).
Jong Hyun is currently taking a break from his highschool (for music students).
Minho was above average during his middle school and beginning of high school years, but after concentrating on his training, his grades dropped a little.
Key attends school in Daegu(a city in S. korea), but after going back and forth from daegu to seoul ( for his training), he thinks his grades dropped.

4) When they first received “Nuna is so pretty”
When the members first recieved their title song, they all had huge question marks drawn in their heads. Because none of the members had any experience with this kind of a relationship (I guess they mean an older girl and younger guy relationship), they were concerned on how they should express this song.
Because of this concern, they watched Lee Seungi’s “You’re my Girl” mv alot

5) How much of an age difference can you cover up to (Meaning OLDER girls)
Onew: I like any girl I can call “Nuna”. I can make them feel comfortable.
Taemin: Age really doesn’t matter for me. I once saw something in a book where a really young guy married a grandma. They made it in the guiness book of world records. (it says that all the staff members cracked up when Taemin said this)
Jong Hyun: I can cover up to 5-6 years.
Minho: I can cover up to 8-13 years
Key: I can cover up to 5 years

6) Ideal girl type
Onew: I don’t have an ideal type made out. I think everyone has their own charm.
Taemin: I like Emma Watson from “Harry Potter”
Jong Hyun: I like Yoo In Young (she is a korean actress). I think her pale/white skin and red, thin lips are loveable
Minho: Kim Tae Hee!! Everything about her is perfect.
Key: My ideal type is a girl who is confident and has no trickiness (like girls who act all gentle infront of people but they really aren’t)

7) Atmosphere maker/brightener
Taemin and Key are the Atmosphere makers in the team.
All the other four members think of Taemin really cutely. Taemin doesn’t try to act cute on purpose, but everything he does cannot get any cuter.
Key says alot of humerous things and has a very unique mind. When they are in their car, all the memebrs fatigueness disappears becuase of Key (he must be a funny guy hehe). When Onew says something boring and makes the atmosphere awkward, Key takes over and lightens up the atmosphere (haha that’s so cute).

Becoming role models to their juniors
They want to do their best to become good role models to their future juniors.
Once, TVXQ all came to their practice room and told them that they thought their song was good and gave them advice on how team work is very important. [ SHINee Interview~ 274759

Shinee says that they will always take advice from their seniors and develop into becoming better artists.
