[Article] The touching story behind SHINee Onew's real life


SHINee Leader Onew turned out to be having difficult times when he was a kid. Read the story below.

When Jinki was young, he was the type of person who went to CD game shops just so that he could play games for free. This kid always tried his best so that he could play the games. However, one day he decided to purchase the game CD as he felt embarrassed for always playing it for free at the shop (he’s really sucha nice kid). He bought the CD game even though he didn’t have the game player. (LOL)

During primary school, Jinki would always tear up when he wrote letters to his parents whenever he thought about how late his parents came home from work.

In middle school, like many other kids his age, he often wanted to go out to play (with friends) but instead, he would help his parents out at work.

In high school, he entered the academy (SM Academy) yet he would still do part-time jobs like delivering newspapers in order to not give his parents a burden. At that age, he also became a vice-class president for other schools. He had some friends whom he was close with and his grades were always in the top ranked. He even ranked #2 in his last year of High School

Jinki’s daily schedule in high school (already SM-trainee at that time)

Wake up at dawn to go swimming and walk to school. Listen well in class

After class (still in uniform), he goes to the training room. Majority of Jinki’s pre-debut pics were of him near SM Academy and of him in uniform. After training, he would go home and do 1000x rope-jumping…this is already very well known (many people know about this)

20 year old Jinki after debut (korean age)

Still the same. No matter if we look at his performances or Night Star, he would continuously greet people. Whenever they needed anything, he would not hesitate to stand up for them. To people who have judged Jinki before, he would still smile at them.

During this Night Star recording when they were blood-donating and amongst his musical rehearsals… was always worried about his health. He even greeted/thanked fans who did not donate blood at that time.

During the day he had to record a program and afterwards he had to record Night Star until midnight. Looking at him becoming skinnier and skinnier day by day, his pants becoming looser and looser…

When he felt hungry, he sat in the corner and ate choco-pie…

Etc etc

This is why ordinary Jinki is not an ordinary person…

[NEWS] Tohoshinki's First Comeback Single Surpasses Previous Works For 1st Week Sales - 1st Place With 230,000 Copies Sold !

Posted Image

■Monopolizing both 1st and 2nd place for top selling foreign artists in singles weekly sales history

Tohoshinki, the Korean popular group, has restarted their activities as a duo with Yunho (24) and Changmin (22). Their first comeback single 「Why?(Keep Your Head Down)」 (released 26 January 2011) has sold more than 231,000 copies in its first week of release and made its entry into the first place of the 7 February singles weekly charts.

Before their hiatus last January, the 5-member Tohoshinki released their 29th single 「BREAK OUT!」 which sold more than 256,000 in its first week, and this single (Why?) ranks in second place after that for best first week sales in the entire history of foreign artists.

This single follows 10 months after their previous single 「時ヲ止メテ」 (195,000 sold in the first week), which was released in March after the release of their best album 『BEST SELECTION 2010』. In April last year, it was announced that group activities with all 5 members would be suspended and in January this year they have restarted their activities again as a duo. Despite this, their popularity can be felt as their first week sales exceeded that of the previous single by more than 36,000 copies. 

Since Oricon first began its singles ranking chart in January 1968, the first foreign artist's single to break through the 200,000 copies mark was Tohoshinki's previous single 「BREAK OUT!」 and following that, their current new single. Once again, they successfully broke their own record as foreign artists to achieve first place in the 「Singles sales ranking」 and with the past 3 singles consecutively achieving first place, this is their 9th single to top the charts.

On the release date of this single on the 26th last month, Tohoshinki, together with BoA, SNSD and popular artists from their Korean management company SM Entertainment, performed at the live concert 『SMTOWN LIVE』 (Tokyo, National Yoyogi Stadium), marking their first comeback stage in Japan in 1 year and 1 month. Their song 「Why?~」 is also the OST song for Yukie Nakama's drama 『Beautiful Neighbour』 (Kansai TV, FujiTV) which is currently airing and they sang a total of 5 songs including this song during the live concert.

[11.01.31] 'Dream High' Concert Tickets to be Distributed Free of Charge
Posted Image


KBS2TV's Monday & Tuesday mini-series Dream High's crew decided to distribute concert tickets free of charge. With the success and profit of the Secret Garden OST Concert, it has driven crew to do it for Dream High, as well, naming it Dream High Concert, something that is unusual.

"There's no money for the concert (I'm assuming the charge)," a representative, Yang Geunhwan for Dream High said. They wanted to return the love that viewers gave them through a free concert. They also felt that students and adolescents being their main target audience, a concert with free admission would be the best thing to give out.

Dream High producers will distribute the tickets through their website in a lottery over the next 10 days.

A Dream High special episode featuring concert footage will be aired on KBS2TV on March 1st.

[NEWS] T-ara's New Year Wish: A Good Boyfriend?

Posted Image

Silk material and pastel-colored skirts with cute jackets; T-ara members show a representation of beauty in their hanboks. Their white skin makes a rather good match with the pastel colors.

A week of a sweet vacation for T-ara
First, being able to relax and sleep with your friends comfortable
But Eunjung's still filming dramas with tight schedules

Our New Year's wishes?
One of our wishes is to be better daughters... To be able to provide pocket money for our parents


From doing activities from morning until the late evening, the expression on their faces was tired. But after wearing hanboks, it became brighter. Last month, the popular girl group ended activities for their new mini album and now all the seven members could gather again in one place.

All the members were familiar with wearing the hanboks since childhood. "The color looks better on you," "Front ribbons tied like this," they touched the ceaseless skirt (?). Then they did a deep bow and stood in front of the camera man while doing graceful poses.

● The first long vacation since their debut, "wanting to go back to being ordinary daughters"

This is a special holiday for T-ara. Their last vacation was during Chuseok last year. Because of their hard work this year, they also get another vacation.

"This is the first time. I never thought that these kinds of things made the most sense during the holidays. I'll go home to live with my family. First, I'll sleep and have family time, like supposed to. I'll meet with my friends and drink coffee, watch movies, go to the market and see what others are doing." (Soyeon)

"In my household, I'm the eldest so I have to help with chores. My cooking? It's pretty good. Usually during the Lunar New Year, I leave at night and then leave again in the morning so all I could do was sleep, but this year I'll fulfill do my duties as eldest daughter." (Hyomin)

Qri, Jiyeon, Boram and Hwayoung were also very excited to be going on vacation, but Eunjung was not able to take a vacation. Because she has a lead role in the KBS2TV drama "Dream High", she couldn't stop filming. She also has no rest, so the other members did not tell her their plans and seemed to feel sorry.

"I'm filming a drama, so I don't get any days off. I'd like to go home with my family to eat rice cakes and soup. I can't go, so I feel regretful. But I love being an actor." (Eunjung)

● "Giving the gift of money to my parents"

The first idea that comes to mind when the word 'gift' was mentioned was "money". When they were younger, they were the ones that got money, now it's their time to give the money.

"I want to write a letter to my parents. During that time, I want to write down all the things that I want to let them know of or show them. It doesn't matter if all of it isn't positive. This way, I think I'm able to express my real feelings to them". (Boram)

Hyomin had prepared some extra money from her pocket to give to her parents. "I'd really love to be able to buy my parents some new shoes," said Hyomin, "When I received presents before, I've shown little reactions, but seeing them for a little bit, is already a great present for me now. It makes me really glad. Now, I want to be able to give them something more for a present" (?).

● Japan after New Years, "We couldn't sleep"

T-ara is planning greater activities this year. In April, T-ara will follow after girl groups like SNSD and Kara in Japan and start full-scale activities. They already received interests from three big companies last year, and their agency has became interested and finalized in making a dual coordination plan. However, individual members who advanced into acting has delayed their foray into Japan more than expected.

"It's a dream, but with a lot of preparation I think we could be able to succeed. We received much love in South Korea, and we want to be loved in Japan. I have confidence in myself." (Jiyeon)

"We could not sleep because we're so excited. Because of the activities in Japan, the members and I have to practice to becoming fluent. We have to prepare step by step without mistakes. We're intermediate level of proficiency in Japanese." (Qri)

Leader Boram also hoped that after the New Year the activities in Japan will reach expectations.

"We didn't know that it would get this busy (in a good way!). Around this time last year, we were working on promoting 'I Go Crazy Because of You' but after that, we got a good amount of rest. Even though it's tiring, making music is still very enjoyable for us. Now that we will be transferred to a new place for music makes it a more exciting challenge for us."

Boram also revealed something else she wanted.

"I want to have a guy talking to me as friends. I wish I could talk to someone through something (?). I have a lot of female friends, I wish I had a wonderful boyfriend."
