Shinee K-Pop Korean Music
Shinee, the new 5 male, borderline female group from SM Entertainment, debuted on Mnet M Countdown with their single Noona You're So Pretty (누나 너무 예뻐) on the 22nd.

Shinee seems to be a direct descendant of TVXQ, but with a double scoop of fag and a cherry on top. Still, anything is better than Big Bang.

Although their song is catchy, I die a little inside while watching fan girls cheering for these gender benders - what has our world come to?

wow they kinda are direct descendants of them
they aren’t better but haha they’re there =]

i LOVE the song. I used to have nothing but hate for this group but i think they’re okay now. Key needs to not look...flamboyant and that’s it. He wasn’t like that in the video at least. lol.
Jong Hyun and Onew have great voices!
Jong Hyun has a unique voice though
i’ve never heard a voice like his.
Key’s voice is alright, pretty decent.
still have to hear what Taemin and Min Ho have to offer.
though i have the feeling Min Ho is the rapper of the group.
Taemin can’t just dance his way to fame though, even if the nunas go ga-ga for him.

over all though, i think they are worth my time and i definitely recommend them! =D

this song is catchy. i don’t really like the rest of their minialbum though.

but yea, what’s with how they look? they look like they’ve been picked from the boy band rejects.

i like bigbang, and thought it was going to be a copy of them, but they surprised me with this song

Jong Hyun has indeed, a great voice, but he looks better than he sings haha

I like them. Was that Mnet performance live? If so, then I like them even more.

I prefer Shinee to BB, to be honest.

I was kinda not expecting to like the song but it’s ok, I thought it was funny how they’re rockin the 80’s old school big thick rope chains like the rappers.

let’s just see who wins the popularity award next time. so stop comparing them...these gals have something to offer that BB doesn’t have...and BB has something that Shinee doesn’t have.

Taemin is as old as me, maybe younger.
I don’t have anything against age, but they sound very mature.
What, so we’re going to have middle schoolers being crazy fan-girls now?
ARGHHH.
Shinee is surprisingly better than I thought, well the song is.
I still want to see a live performance in order to judge correctly.

Oh, by the way, I found out that it IS pronounced as SHINY.

If they REALLY wanted to pronounce it as Shiny, then name the damn group Shiny.
NOT a girl’s name.

Which brings up another question, if they can’t pronounce the word “girl”, why bother naming a group, Wonder Girls?
They can’t pronounce their own group name right, and it messes everything up.

@xmizzzy, i think taemin is 15 in korean years.
i saw a fancam of their performance, and it sounded live. really well done too.
i’m really loving jonghyun’s voice, so i want to see what else they have to bring.

Wtf are they feeding kids these days? Taemin does not look 14. I’ve gone through the album. Didn’t like it on general. Only track which is half worth listening to is Replay.

And wow, couple of ugly guys in this group :o Just cuz they dress metrosexually doesn’t make them pretty

jonghyun is so striking and ohn yoo is gorgeously hot, i really like him, Key reminds a bit of Ryewook but way better than him, Taemin is so happy and minho’s eyes bother me a bit
but replay!!

to xisharoroix! you’re so f stupid. Don’t compare them. Shinee’s songs are kind of cute, pop like other SM’s bands: DBSK, Suju, SNSD. BB’s style is Hip-hop, they have Rap verses with a bit R&B;on their songs. Shinee is different from that. Well, i like them both.
Are you sure BB has their own style ? Don’t copy from anyone else ? Damn, look at the shortest guy. Taeyang or something like that. He is exactly Omarion version.2, but it’s a really long way for him to stand on the same level as Omarion.
Girly? In my opinion, Gay-Dragon is pretty than these guys. LOL ^^

i kept telling myself i wouldn’t like them… or the song… but after hearing it 3 times on forums and news’ sites and what not… i have it stuck in my head.

i find key cute (what’s up with his eyebrow? style?). ohn yoo is pretty cute too. i’m not too fond of tae min’s mushroom/bowl cut. min ho’s eyes… scare me? jong hyun’s voice is good but at the same time… i dunno.

girls have always loved the femmy boys… haha myself included but these ones are just toooooo young.. Ewww any girl my age (even though I still look like a high schooler) should be arrested for fangirling over these boys.
The song is ok, they remind me of alot of recent boybands that have pretty much flopped but because they have the SM tag to their name they’ll prolly make it.

They need new haircuts. Seriously so much for starting a new generation of voices and style. I laugh at that . But i gotta admit the song is catchy

It’s actually pretty decent. Not bad, but like I said, DBSK has nothing to worry about. Father SM sure knows what he’s doing to make some more dough.

Johnny ~ just wanted to let you know once again that I will have your children anytime you’re ready! XP

This is just hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. I absolutely love ALLKPOP’s sarcasm and honesty, i.e. how secretly most of us probably enjoy these effeminated ‘boy-bands’ a little more than we’d like to admit.

Have a good weekend.

============

are u serious? they are more gaylicious then big bang. and again as i stated before only 4 act gayriffic in big bang and thats g-tranny, seungay, daeTHAIhooker and iwannabeonTOP..taeyang dont be acting and dressing all emo gay

30.  NiPK
May 22, 2008 - 09:53 PM

Because their young looks (=feminine), some dislike then already, including me sincerely.  Well, I think their song “noona” is catchy and 2 of their voices are quite interesting.  Besides the look, they are better than BB. Why does dressing like that become BB’s style?  I always think MC Mong wears this kind of costume long ago.

THE F*CK? Okay, first I got to admit that the song is so catchy. I love it *Gayscream.
Im sorry, but seriously, I would really love to punch that Seo In Young Avatared headlooking mushroom eating kid. I think his named is Taemin. The way he smiles in the videos...god, someone control his hormones please. And seriously, he just wants his noona to be her little shopping sister.

Yes offense, I prefer the transgender girl group big bang instead of these transvestites. Big Bang is more unoriginal and has moves stolen, which makes them more worthwhile.

Shinee is at suju gay-ness (gayer than BB by far). I hate them already. Also anyone else getting tired of these BB references in every article? i mean yeah you all hate em but wat’s the point of putting em in almost every single article?

May 22, 2008 - 10:28 PM

“...double scoop of fag and a cherry on top” haha funnies. they’re all so young....they look like little kids. their singing is alright. maybe in a couple of years, they’ll look handsomer. haha

I find it hilarious how people say they “copied” Big Bang’s style when, Big Bang’s own style isn’t exactly “original”.
Seeing as that style, I believe is extracted from the 80’s somewhat.
And re started years and years ago by whoever, possibly in the hip hop community, in France. (Yes, there is a big hip hop community in France, don’t even get me started. Or did Nigo (Japanese designer) bring it back? Eh, one of the two, I thought it was European contemporary)
So, why don’t they just wear what they like and.. instead of judging them on their clothing, instead let’s judge them on what their faces are like, seeing as, at least they can’t change that. Yet. And either way, we are being shallow.
:D

ROFL!!! so much fail, so little space.
These boys need serious vocal training, the first guy sounds like he’s biting down on his words. and nice choreo during 1:30-1:35 sec. that doesn’t say fagnut AT ALL. i swear i will plant a car bomb in the vehicle carrying that little brat with the strokes t-shirt. i don’t care if his stylist made him wear it, this group is the complete anti-thesis of the strokes. the one with the bowl cut and the “wicked” shirt looks like one of my younger step sister’s girl friends.

Totally underestimated these guys. They’re like 1000x better than i thought they would be. Yay for new fandom!! ^_^ But i still think big bang is better than them >_> and they can’t be compared to DBSK either…
