Shinee 12th Anniversary Survey
This year, for Shinee’s 12th anniversary, I ran a survey asking two simple questions: Who is your bias, and what’s the funniest thing he’s ever said?
Now that Shinee Day 2020 is upon us, I’ll be sharing the results! Quite a few people had both the same bias and same funniest quote, so repeats will only be listed one time, but there will be a note of how many times that quote was submitted. Hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!
