SHINee drive Noona fans wild

Doesn't the fourth one look like Shin Mina? ^^

SHINee of SM entertainment only debuted over a month or two ago and they've already got their batch of dedicated fans. In the form of noonas. This of course is not old news and not unexpected since of course their first single is titled, "Noona is so pretty".

They consist of leader Onew (19), Junghyun (18), Minhoo (17), Key (17) and Taemin (15). *Korean age*. The 5 boy idol group were originally aimed at the 20-30 'noona' market and its obvious that its hard for the older women to resist their appeal. With plenty of noona fans found hanging around after performances to catch a glimpse of the cute younger men, I mean boys.

"over 90% of our fans are noonas." Leader Onew mentioned. "The age gap is large, but the fans mostly see us as younger siblings."

Since of course they are 'noona' fans, (which are basically older female fans as opposed to the younger girl fans, who are busy supporting groups like DBSK, Super Junior and Big Bang), SHINee benefits from them more, as they are more likely financially independent.

Apparently the current Korean craze of younger men liking older women, goes the other way round.

Good for them. I see more fans coming in the future. But first they need to get plenty of rest or more pictures like these will surface. (It's the 15 year old btw)

Poor little one, this noona will send you plenty of healthy delicious food, and will tell off your manager for making you work so much.

In other news, the 40 year old Dong Bang Shin Ki are steadily gaining popularity...


Those of you who have watched the 'Star King' episode with DBSK, will know who they are. Who ever said that boybands end at 30?!

Both sources: Empas

hahaha, love this post! Yeah I'm a noona fan, and I do see them as siblings, younger brothers, not anything else. I love the 40 year old DBSK, that episode was hilarious!

Im about 1-5 years older than them. Seeing them rather makes me old. However, maybe I may not fond of their dance but I do like their music. Sorry if I offended anyone. Thats just an opinion nothing more.

oh..taemin looked so tired..sleeping..:)

oh yeah!! the 40 year old DBSK....xD, but hey they are pretty good too u know..lol

aww, look at him...so tired >< poor thing~

aw poor guy.
he cant even sleep in class w/o ppl taking pics of it.
not that i blame them.

He looks all capoofederated. (aka. kapoofed -> tired)

lol. The fourty year old guys were fun - and good dancers too!
We have the little DBSK and than the real DBSK, and than the older DBSK~

awww. it's okay Taemin, noona will be here to help you. =] It seems like he's not the only one falling asleep in class. the guy behind him with a pink shirt looks like he's sleeping too.

the 40 yr old DBSK..ah when they were on 'Star King' that was a good show. That just goes to show that even if you aren't 20 anymore, you can still do the things you love to do. In this case, dancing. [Like the real DBSK] hehehe. Yay for them!

I am in the other 10% of fans XD|| I feel sorry for TaeMin... I'd hate to have a pic taken of me sleeping _ _|| they needa rest~~~

40 year old DBSK are really good dancers XD

Aww..poor Taemin! They all need to rest...especially since they are still VERY young though I'm also on the other 10% percent of the fans.. I will help to! =)

LOL....the 40 Y.O Shin Ki's are funny!
