...and they haven't even released their album yet. Craziness. I told myself yesterday that I was going to relax on the Big Bang posts for a bit because I was starting to feel like a Big Bang fansite, not that that's a bad thing. THEN... they release something like this: "Bad Boy" teaser- Source: BIGBANG
It's true.... The members of EXO-K and EXO-M are ALWAYS at the airport. I'm never sure where they're going or what they're going to be doing when they get there, but I'm forever seeing the pics. There's often some major fashion moments taking place in these pics; some good, some bad but always notable. Enjoy: This post is image heavy
It has come to my attention that people are confused as hell about EXO 's " Wolf " and " Growl " drama version MVs, and have been since they came out. Well, it's your lucky day, because I'm here to explain the shit out of them for you, in the way I know best: I'm going to tell you a little story. Fyi, this will be done in two parts, so bear with me.
Guys! What's up?? It's been FOREVERRRR! I know, I know, it's been too long. I didn't write anything about Taemin's solo, I didn't write about Jonghyun's solo... I'm just a bad, bad Shawol aren't I? I've been incommunicado and that's because I was super burnt out. Trying to keep up with all the SHINee news and pics and videos and..and...everything was just a lot and it made me think I might never want to blog again. But guess what? That's obviously not true, because I'm at my desk right now typing about SHINee's comeback! Yesssss, because SHINee's back! Or they're about to be back anyway, on May 18th, 2015. I AM SO EXCITE!
How apropos (and kind of crazy) that the name of the album is "Odd"? I pretty much couldn't not blog about this, ya know? It's a sign! A sign from the SHINee gods!!
Ok relax Erika... breathe...
Ok I'm calm.
Let's start with that 1st teaser, featuring Onew:
The second teaser, featuring Taemin:
And now the obligatory squee-ing over their just released teaser images:
Beautiful pics of our beautiful boys.
Ok so, if you know me and this blog, you know I don't pull any punches in regards to SHINee or any other kpop group (or any subject to be honest). All I'm going to say about this one is that this better not be some sort of Beach Boys theme or a Calypso theme. I want something epic and incredible that will catapult them to the charts for months and enable them to win tons of prizes at the end of the year music shows. I want that so bad for SHINee that it almost hurts, and all of us Shawols should feel the same way.
It's been over a year and I'm still of the opinion that SM Entertainment cheated them out of winning tons of awards last year with the release of Everybody, and yes I'm still mad about that. So now it's 2015 and SMent has been pushing EXO and Red Velvet like they're the best thing since sliced bread but I think it's time that they give EXO some time to regroup and to get over their myriad dramas. Don't get your panties in a twist, EXO-Ls: I loved "Call Me Baby" as much as the next person, but I think it's time to let SHINee :cough: shine. It's past time, in fact.
I'm of the opinion that SHINee is in their prime. They are seasoned performers, they are seamless, and even when they're not seamless they know how to cover for it well. They're ready for big things and SMent needs to let them have a shot at those big things by giving them a great song. Just one thing: please retire Tony Testa as their choreographer. K? Thanks!
Onew is that you?
Taemin's shirtless again, tsk.
I made this one just for you Taemin pervs. You're welcome. ;)
As you might know, SHINee filmed their upcoming mv in Thailand around the 19th and 20th of April, which Thai Shawols were super excited about. I'll link you to a cute fan account but the main point you can take away from their stay in Thailand is that they ate A LOT:
Fans said that SHINee ate a lot xD. They enjoyed eating pretty much everything and when they saw fans waving snacks at them from a far, they told one staff that they wanted to eat the those too lol. The staff though came to talk to fans and fans decided to buy snacks and food for SHINee using their money. Other food support was also sent to SHINee.
Oh, and apparently Key carries a mirror around to look into periodically. Ohhh Key, whatever would we do without you??
You can read the rest of the fan account by clicking here.
More teaser pics from SHINee's official site:
SHINee will be releasing their title song, "View" at their concerts in Seoul from May 15-17th. The lyrics were written by Jonghyun (of course!) and produced by LDN Noise, a team of producers from England. It's going to be deep house, y'all. What??! My favorite genre. I can't wait to hear it.
Alright Shawols, stay tuned for more SHINee comeback goodness in the next few days. I'm glad to be back (back..back...back...) and I'll see you soon!
What do you think of SHINee's comeback teaser video and images? Are you as excited for their comeback as I am? Leave a comment below!
ERIKA IS BACK BACK BACK BACK!!!! heheee I love your first post after hiatus is all about SHINee's comeback, I've been waiting this. They focused on Japan for 2014 and no matter how much I love for their Japan's albums but I DO WAIT FOR THEIR KOREAN COMEBACK. I love their second teasers, odd eye, clowns, moon, the swimming pool, and an actual gir! with a face!!!! And minho is love <333
...and they haven't even released their album yet. Craziness.

SHINee was on KBS's Music Bank today for the show's 700th Anniversary Special . The boys performed a special stage of their forever classic " Replay ", along with " Why So Serious? " and if you haven't at least watched the "Replay" stage, you should. Take a look:
Ok I knew that G-Dragon 's editorial for Vogue Korea's 17th Anniversary would be amazing but these kind of exceeded my expectations. I am in awe of the depth and clarity of Hong Jang Hyun 's photographs and of the stylist's vision. The makeup artists did a great job too. I'm not saying I like them more than I like GD's 2009 Vogue Korea editorial but they come pretty close, especially the first photos, which I'm calling "G-Dragon in high fashion grunge Rivendell" (where the elves lived in Lord of the Rings ? No? Alright, I'll admit I'm kind of a nerd). Scroll down for scans of all 32 images and the full interview translation. You're welcome!
I'm super excited! The teasers photos look fittingly odd and I'm loving the music in the teaser videos :) btw, welcome back, Erika :D
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thanks! I'm so glad that SHINee made me all hyped up enough to actually want to come back. Phew! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the teaser images too, but then I usually do. I can't wait to see more.
ERIKA IS BACK BACK BACK BACK!!!! heheee

I immediately thought of good old oddness/weirdness when I saw the name of SHINee's comeback album, glad to see you back ^^
ReplyDeleteHiiiiii! Yayyyy SHINee's back in Korea (finally!)! I love the teasers too... I'm about to blog about the new ones because wowwww. So great.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to be back! I figured it would have to be a full on SHINee comeback to get me back to blogging lol. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know it.
ReplyDeleteThey rock it!
