Oddness/Weirdness

 Yesterday SHINee  Triple Crown-ed it on Show Champion (amongst other things), today they did the deed on M! Countdown .  Congrats, guys! The sky's the limit for these fab boys, don't you think?  Their talent and drive to win cannot be disputed and it's showing in their domination of the charts and the music shows. Let's watch, shall we?

SHINee 's " Everybody " album came out last night while I laid in bed, too tired after a long day to blog about it even if I wanted to.  I did make sure to do some squasping as I downloaded and listened to the album in full before I fell asleep.  Now I'm finally here with all the album art and track for your viewing and listening pleasure.  Take a look:

It's official!   SHINee 's Pt. 2 to " Chapter 1. Dream Girl- Misconceptions of You " will be released this month.  There's been some changes though, so read on.

I've been away for a few days; sorry about that...  I'm back now and I come bearing gifts!  Here's some more SHINee for your viewing pleasure, and this time I've got their episode of KBS 's " Hello " and Mnet 's " Beatles Code ".  As usual, watch ( or download ... shhh!) quickly before they get deleted.  Also as usual, I'll be updating these with English subbed versions as soon as I find them. Fyi, I've been looking for " SHINee's Wonderful Day " episode 4 English subbed and I have not found it anywhere.  If you do find it, be sure to leave me a link in the  comments or in email (click on Contact Me at the top of the blog). Edited to add: Beatles Code English subbed.

Those fabulous SHINee boys, ahem... men... have officially released their mv for " Why So Serious ?", as well as the album " Why So Serious? The Misconceptions of Me ".  Are you excited?  I know I am.

The boys of SHINee recorded their performances for the Korean Music Wave Festival in Bangkok on March 16th but the show did not officially air until April 7th.  Way to keep us waiting, people!  These pics have been floating around the 'net for awhile now, and they've just been cluttering up my desktop, so I figured this would be a perfect way to put them to use.  I've also got a few fancams and their actual performance stream, along with Minho's MC cuts.  The best part about Minho being one of the MCs is that he's wearing an extremely odd shirt while he's doing it, and we all know I like to give Minho a hard time, so this is a win/win situation right here.  On with the show!

It's been revealed today that SHINee will be releasing the 1st teaser for their upcoming sequel to " Chapter 1: Dream Girl- The Misconceptions of You " on April 22nd.  Yes!  Not that far from now.  A second image teaser was also revealed.  Read on for more info:

Today SHINee had the honor of appearing on stage at UMF Korea , or the Ultra Music Festival , with Beatburger .  UMF, which takes place annually, is the world's most famous outdoor electronica festival.  The festival was originally created with a focus on electronica, but it has grown over the years to showcase music from the biggest and best EMD (electronic dance music) artists to crossover EMD artists.  The festival takes place in Miami, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ibiza and Korea, and thousands of people come from all over to attend.  So, to have SHINee perform there is pretty much a big deal.

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:

It's SHINee's 5th Anniversary today!  Can you imagine?  This fabulous group of boys have been SHINee for 5 whole years and still going strong.  This boggles my mind because people are always talking about the 5 year curse in Kpop, but  SHINee just keeps getting better and better.  Instead of succumbing to infighting or any of the other woes that other Kpop groups have broken up over, these boys seem to just get stronger.

SHINee is about to comeback with " Dream Girl " so it's safe to assume we'll be seeing them in tons of magazines to come.  The first of these would be Nylon Korea , who made them look like stylish yet innocent boys next door, and then asked them some probing questions that they seemed to answer pretty honestly (especially Onew ).  Enjoy the HQ scans, BTS video and interview with English translation below.

UPDATED : With English subs I'm happy that the 9th episode of " SHINee's Wonderful Day " is ready for us to watch, but I'm also sad that it's the 9th episode.  Only one more to go... sob!  Whatever shall we do without more 45 minute long episodes of SHINee being silly?  Hey, at least we have their new album to look forward to.  More on that below.  Take a look! Fyi, if you need to catch up on the other episodes of SHINee's Wonderful Day , click here . Onew is so weird.  <3

Yessssss!  SHINee won their first music show on MBC Show Champion today, just like I knew they were going to.  What an awesome thing to wake up to, right?  Take a look at their performances of "Beautiful" and "Dream Girl" below, and also the encore stage.  Now they just need to triple crown it and they're golden.  Daebak!

Hey Shawols!  As I'm SURE YOU KNOW, SHINee performed their new songs " Everybody " and " Symptoms " at the SHINee Comeback Special showcase that was held earlier today during the Gangnam Hallyu Festival .  I woke up at the crack of dawn to watch it with some other Shawols but the stream was SO laggy (on account of some no good real time chat spammers) that I wanted to scream.  (we still had fun though).  I know the same thing happened to most people that were trying to view it so I didn't feel too bad, but I wanted to see my SHINee dammit!  So here's the next best thing.  I scoured the 'net for the best HQ fancams, videos and pics I could find and I'm posting them all here.  Enjoy; I certainly will. (This post is image and video heavy)

------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&

I have no words. Ok I lied... I really do.   SHINee won with " Dream Girl " on Show Champion , which makes them the first artist to win four times on the show.  That's right... ever.  I'm so happy for these boys, because they are snatching wigs left and right.  If you're not up on that gay slang, this pretty much means that your faves could never and all that good stuff.  I have HD video of all their cuts from today's Show Champion for you so enjoy!

SHINee has finally dropped their mv for " Everybody " and made their first music show appearance today on MNET's M! Countdown .  Normally I open a post like this with the oft used phrase "SHINee's Back!" and appropriate fangirling but I'm only half feeling their "Everybody" comeback.  Dammit!  I wanted so wanted to love it, but I can't.  I'm going to be completely honest here, because that's what I do on this blog, so brace yourselves:

Earlier this morning, while many of you were still sleeping, SHINee were busy being fabulous at the MNET 20's Choice Awards .  They managed to wow us sartorially and perform the crap out of " Why So Serious ?" and " Beautiful ".  They also won the award they were up for, which was the 20's Performance Award (we knew that would happen... I mean, come on now).  I've got some gorgeous HQ pics, fancams and HD video for you below, so read on.

After releasing their follow up to " Dream Girl " last night,  SHINee went all in today with their comeback stages for " Why So Serious? ".  They also performed their new song " SHINE " AND sang live.  A SM Entertainment group singing live for their first comeback stage?  Whattt?!?  I'm shocked I tell you!

SHINee continued on with their music show appearances this weekend and even though they haven't won anything for "Why So Serious?" yet, we're still rooting for them to do so.  Let's see what else they were up to, shall we?
