Shinee Kpop Korean Music
SM Entertainment revealed a new 5 member boy band, called Shinee, through the band's official homepage.

Shinee is a contemporary band that consists of 5 male members, Jong Hyun (종현), Min Ho (민호), Tae Min (태민), Ohn Yoo (온유), and Key, ranging from the ages of 14~18. This band has been working on their debut for some time now. SM stated, "Like their unique name, they are going to be unique with their dancing as well as their fashion, and trendy music." Member Tae Min, who is only 14 years old, was recruited due to his dancing skills, and is planning on giving his audience a worthy show.

It's amazing how they introduced this new boy band without a single word about their singing. Their dancing better be damn good if they aren't going to back it up with any decent singing. Plus, it looks like this boy band has accepted that they are indeed gay, rather than gradually showing their inner feelings like other boy bands (*cough* Big Bang *cough*).

JOO K-Pop Korean Music

Of course they going to appear gay if they’re 14, haven’t quite reached puberty and are being styled that way. They haven’t grown into the look so it does look pretty fruity. Is the Johnny Junior phenomena(?) making it’s appearance in Korea now?! Just curious..Well besides THAT girl group (wonder girls, right?), has their ever been in the past other pop groups with members that were 16 and below? Oh well, another one for the tweens.

The one in the middle, to the right, and to left and the side are gay. *Excited. I cant wait to hear their voices. I hope its higher than SNSD’s. Too bad SM’s brainwashes people with their talent so they can see past threw thier flamboyant sexuality.

HOW DARE THAT LITTLE RUNT WEAR A STROKES SHIRT!!!!! he probably can’t even name one song by julian casablancas.

anyway who the fcuk are these hipster fags and why should a give a sh!t? okay i read the blurb, so another singing/dancing boy band troupe, yeah that’s nice. the only singing, dancing and poseuring these boys should be doing is in an american apparel ad.

Seriously, the song is kind of catchy but no matter what they still fall under the bubblegum pop . No offence but looks wise most of them are not qualified. The age range isn’t very goood seeing how most of them are younger than most of the posters here. This is strange. . i have yet seen any of these faces before. It’s either they werent’ well known trainees or they were just recruited recently. What happen to the guy that played mini kibum in cjsh-my everything and that guy Han Kyu Wan. its funny how they’re being compared to tvxq and big bang already. LOL

What dancing skills?  If what I just saw in that video is all I have to look forward to....I think I’ll pass on these guys....The song looks like it will be catchy though.  Reminds me of an old B2K/N*sync song...They are kind of cute, but I’m 20 so they are too young for me....on second thought I think I’ll pass anyway....Shiny???

Thanks Paul oppa.

That video furthers their gayness; they call THAT dancing good?? And whatever happened to SM’s typical pop-ish music..? The music sounds like it went outside the borders of the typical music genres of SM singers.. raspberry

It seems these gay looking boy bands is the fad right now. I guess they’re targeting the elementary / middle school kids. Four years down the line, these kids & their fans will be in college.

Oh god. Another androgynous looking gender confused boy band?
Aren’t they being compared to their gay counterpart dbsk too?
SM should just throw them together to make a really big gay boy band.
Oh wait, they already have Super Junior…

Usually the SM boys would start out somewhat straight and then become gay as time passes but it looks like shinee has already skipped the process and jumped straight to looking gay part.
They were one step ahead of their sunbaes so good for them.

they’re not catchy to the eye. it’s kinda like “Oh a new boyband blah"… why so young? LOL I wanna see how this turns out.

They don’t sound bad.  But, yeah… their style is just a Big Bang knock off… and, yeah.  raspberry

boybands seem to get younger and younger. next thing you know SM will introduce us to some preschoolers.

Can someone pass the fruit?  Father SM has lost his mind. I guess those dollar figures from Master YG must have gotten him angry cause he ain’t making that much off SUJU or DBSK

i can’t stop… looking at that picture. i swear if you give these boys a few more years they could easily do gay porn. i’m not even joking, they’d become like LEGENDARY.

Uhm, they sound like a girly version of Big Bang.
I say girly because their looks, and their “singing talent” is girlier than the Wonder Girls.
Okay, maybe not, but you get my point, yes?
I don’t really care about their age, as long as they can make it up with talent.
Anyhow, their dancing isn’t horrible, and their song isn’t either.
However, I think their voice is edited even more than Shin Dong in pictures.

HAHAHAHAHA
That’s so true.
They do look really gay… In a way....
Especially the guy in the right looks like a girl taking off her bra or something

i was looking at allkpop during school and this guy next to me said they were hot cause he thought they were girls with short hair . it was hilarious. then i told him they were guys and the dude was like ohh well they are very feminine looking haha

I think you might want to check if the guy next to you was gay.
Shinee looks more like manly transvestites, they don’t look that feminine yet.

Haha, I’m just playing, but seriously..

After finding out their ages I kinda felt like R.Kelly =\
But yea they seem… Alright… The song on the other hand sounds good. But is it more or does the one on the far left in the pic look like U-Know? And one of them looks somewhat like Vanness Wu in the video.

I think I can live with their music (sounds good?) and maybe their awesome dance (MAYBE). Their looks, no not yet :x It’s actually the first time that SM comes with such “not pretty” boys O_o;;

Why do feel people the need to use “gay” as an insult? So immature.
Better use metrosexual or “girlish”.
