Oddness/Weirdness

It's Key 's turn to look like a New Romantic in the SHINee " Everybody " teaser merry go round and he's werking it like the fashion forward diva he is.  What do you think?

SHINee seems to be referencing the '80s in the teasers for their upcoming mini album, " Everybody ".  This time they've released Onew's image teasers, complete with fake eyelashes and a captains hat, and they are giving me some throwback feels.  Check them out!

It's party time my Shawol friends, because SHINee will be making a comeback with their 5th mini album on October 14th!  This album is entitled " Everybody " and it will be their 3rd Korean comeback of the year.  You know what that means, right?   No more striped cardigans or khakis , that's what!  Yesssss! Taemin  TaeMAN's guyliner-ed beauty of a teaser pic is below for your edification and enjoyment.  Once you tear your eyes away from that, please do read on for a bit of fangirling:

The boys  men of SHINee are set to cover the October issue of Korea's Arena Homme+ magazine.  They've been featured in many magazines over the years, but this time they're special enough to warrant 5 separate covers for each member.  How fabulous is that?  I'm crossing my fingers that this dark and sexy editorial is a foreshadowing of the concept for their rumored Korean comeback, because this One Direction-ish " Boys Meet U " nonsense has got to go. UPDATED:  With official HQ cover scans and all interviews except Key's. ( Key 's pic goes first because it's still his birthday in the U.S.  Happy Birthday Key!) The following are all the images and interviews that are available so far. 

Ok SHINee stans and not-yet-SHINee stans, I've got episode 5 of SHINee's Hello Baby for your viewing pleasure. This is the one where SHINee puts on their crazy old school play.  Later on they head on over to KBS  for their schedule and end up meeting up with SNSD and other celebs.  I love how Minho is the one who always the Appa who gets Yoogeun to stop crying... It's so darned cute, I can't even.

The HQ scans of SHINee's " Boys Meet U "  single album photobook and photocards are finally up!  This means that this post is called "Mega" for a reason.  This post is very image heavy, so you'll be scrolling for awhile.  Enjoy! Boys Meet U Limited edition photocards:

Are you a SHINee stan yet?? We're on Episode 4 of SHINee's Hello Baby today, and this is the episode that made me really start to like the boys.   2Min go food shopping, Onew and Jonghyun try to convince Yoogeun to get a haircut (what were they thinking sending those two?), the guys cook for New Years and model their hanboks, plus more.  Squee!  You guys ready?  Commence watching:

SHINee's Key looked chic and fresh as he attended the Bonnie and Clyde press conference today, alongside his fellow castmates.  I like that Key decided to wear pink and white to the press con, since he always looks great in that color.  This outfit is a very toned down version of normal Key-wear but he rocks it well, as usual.

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk! You know I have a really bad memory when I tell you that on Friday I found myself sitting here wondering what to post, completely forgetting about this SHINee   Hello Baby Viewing Party deal.  Whoops!  I just now remembered, 2 days later.  Smh...  I blame Seungri and G-Dragon, to be honest. Without further ado, here's episode 3:

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk! Welcome back to the  SHINee's "Hello Baby" viewing party .  I'm back with episode 2 which, if I remember correctly, was much better than episode 1.

It's been an interesting ride from 2008 'til now.  I've enjoyed watching SHINee's Onew morph from a supposedly shy hoodie wearing boy that tried his hardest to be inconspicuous to The Man Of A Thousand Clutches.  He's said it himself; he's paying more attention to fashion and skincare and it definitely shows. Onew has gone from thick to thin, short hair to long, innocent to sexy and everything in between.  Sometimes he's even a combination of both.  I like my Jinki almost anyway I can get him.  Which version do you prefer?

I've been planning to do a weekly recap on the blog for awhile now but never got around to it.  Welp, here I am finally doing one!  I know this is last week's news but I've gotta start somewhere, so here goes. Check out my inaugural "News Of The Week" post.  These posts will consist of a recap of things I found to be really interesting that happened during the week, but didn't neccessarily blog about.  Let me know whether you'd like to see more of these in the comments below.

This post is all SHINee " The Misconceptions Of Us " pics and lyrics, no commentary.  Enjoy! Photobook:

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk. Welcome to the first episode of our SHINee Hello Baby Viewing Party !  I'm so excited about this, and it seems like some of you are too.  Let's do this!

I suddenly remembered why I like SHINee's Jonghyun  when he started up with his trolling ways again yesterday. This time his target was Key and the " The Misconceptions of Us " album cover and the results were, as usual, hilarious.

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk. Yesterday, as I was typing out some long ass comment in reply to one of you lovely visitors, I suddenly had this great idea (I think it is anyway):  Why not have a SHINee "Hello Baby" weekly viewing party? I watched SHINee's "Hello Baby" episodes almost 4 years ago, when I was first  forced into liking SHINee  (that's a joke, kind of).  I've been considering watching them all over again for awhile now, mostly because this is the show that started my SHINee obsession but also because it was so utterly charming. Just look at them:

SHINee's "The Misconceptions Of Us" has just been released!  Why wasn't I expecting this right now?  How'd I forget to anticipate it?  I have no idea, but I'm happy about it.  Of course someone has managed to upload the 2 new songs already so get ready to take a listen.

------DISCLAIMER------ I've forgotten about quite a bit of the content I wrote for this blog, and really only get comments on it once in a blue moon in the past 2 or 3 years. I was quite surprised and then quite saddened when I got the first unhappy comment after Jjong's death. Apparently I did too good of a job with Google SEO, considering that I wrote this in 2013 and it's STILL showing up in search rankings. I've considered taking this post down and even discussed it with my best Shawol friends (that I met because of this blog!), but I've decided to keep it up with this disclaimer. Why? I'll let you know: I've loved SHINee for quite a few years now, but that love has never been unconditional.  I wrote about everything to do with SHINee while I was running this blog, and was very vocal about all of it. Anyone who visited more than once knew that I was always extremely blunt about my feelings and thoughts on SHINee (and kpop in general), which is, I&

SHINee's back, or they almost are, with their upcoming repackage album " The Misconceptions of Us ".  I've got some more info for you on this album plus where to pre-order it so read on:

The rumors are true, guys!   SHINee will be releasing another album in August, but this time it's a repackage.
