SM Entertainment, which has already released some of the popular groups in the Kpop scene like TVXQ, Super Junior and Girls’ Generation, is coming out with a new male group called “Shinee.” The members of Shinee, described as a contemporary band, are composed of members whose ages range from 14-18 years old and who go by the names of Jonghyun, Minho, Taemin, Onew and Key.

According to SM Entertainment, Shinee is going to lead this generation’s trendy dance, fashion and music. With regard to its name, the label explains that it is a combination of the word “shine” and “ee,” which is to mean “people receiving the light.” This light, as applied to the group, is the “spotlight” directed toward Shinee, whose goal is to fascinate fans, regardless of their age or where they come from, with its diverse music.

Hello this is SHINee’s Leader, ONEW.

Hello this is SHINee’s Leader, ONEW. SHINee’s Homepage has opened.

I have replied to the messages that were posted in the fanboard a while ago.

I’m thankful that there are a lot of people supporting SHINee.

Due to the unexpected amount of support i left a message on the official board.

I’m honored that i’m the first one out of my members to leave a message here.

I’m very nervous since its my first time. The weather is very strange today. Take care of your health.

Just a while ago our teaser clip was put online so take a peek at that.

SHINee’s debut stage has been decided for Sunday, May 25th, 2008.

You guys are going to give us a lot of support, right?

The times the 5 of us worked so hard for this moment is passing through in my head.

SHINee worked very hard until now so look forward to it!

We will become a hard working SHINee. Fighting!

Hello I’m Tae Min from Shinee.
The first one who wrote is our leader OnYu hyung
And I’m the second one to write and I’m getting nervous

Because of your concern our group name and “Noona you’re so pretty” [wow...LSM you are so smart! This song will probably capture the hearts of many~] was uploaded onto the portal site.

From now on we will fix our image, so please cheer for shinee

Today, while i was doing this. there was a picture that I took….

=====================================
Maybe it's just me but after the preview that soyboy1 posted, i thought they seem quite promising...hope they don't disappoint me. haha.

They're still little boys....but I'm still looking forward to them

argh. i need someone to point the leader out for me XD.

" noona, you are so pretty" is decicate to the older teens like us ...hai~ ///// i didn't have my 18th b-day yet ... and they are calling us noona ...XD

yah..they look kinda same...

I still don't know who is who! Haha! And even i can't tell who looks like heechul, but it's probably the boy who always seems to be at the point of the triangle when they are dancing. Cause he is supposedly the best at dancing right?

Haha, that's nice. I will support. Geez, I need to figure out who's who. Still haven't yet tho, but I will. Anyways, thanx for sharing and I can't wait for them on the 25th when they perform. Thanx again.

my guesses:

the boy in white - TAEMIN
the boy in teal - KEY
the boy in gross puple - JONGHYUN
the one sitting down - ONEW*
the one standing up - MINHO*

*not sure.

aw Onew sounds so cutee xD
