#about shinee

onew: 

onew sangtae: something that’s renowned in fandom and it’s basically onew makes these situations or says things that people don’t know quite how to react to LOL shinee even has a song for it (starts at 0:23 but the beginning is the infamous rap from their song shinee world (doo-dop) and you should NOT miss that) he just kind of does things and carries on

chicken mania: dude really loves chicken 

ex: a lot, like a LOT, A LOT, (a lot)

ttakbam: this is a forehead flick that koreans use as a punishment for losing a game/bet/etc. onew is literally KNOWN for this in korea, it’s funny bc it strikes fear and panic in the hearts of his enemies (and members) 

ex: here, here 

can’t find his drink or man: from shinee’s performance of lady gaga’s “just dance” in 2009 

pinee: during shinee’s “one fine day” onew went to krabi where he introduces us to pinee

jonghyun:

michael jackson voice: dear god this joke has been running since the dawn of shinee. in their song 산소 같은 너 (love like oxygen), jong drew influence from MJ in his singing and onew mocked him 

(ex. here and here) and has been mocking him ever since. in their song excuse me miss (amazing performance) shinee continues the joke and imitate him as well 

is this the reality you wanted: jong’s catchphrase during their reality show “hello baby” where they took care of a toddler named yooguen. as they were all v young during this time (ring ding dong era) there were a lot of situations that jong was like “is this real life / are we really doing this” and that’s when he’d say it to the camera @ the viewers 

shortness & insoles: let’s be real, jongie is not a very tall man; he is smol and adorable and it’s fun to tease him about his height (honestly it seems like he’s fine with it as he seems to tease himself as well in the lyrics of “young and rich”)

about insoles: here

young and rich: here 

his kazoo: just….. he would and it amuses me to no end that he got shawols kazooing as well 

key:

girl group dances/wild dances: he’s the king of girl group dances; key’s able to memorize dances very easily after just watching them and he became pretty infamous for that. he has a lot of fun with them and with dancing in general 

girl group dances: here 

general insanity: here

possibly my favorite 7 seconds ever like you are idols p l s contain yourselves (during shinee world III in seoul): here

savagery: here

scared of heights&haunted houses: and they did this and this to him

key’s daily life as a living breathing meme: key’s know how!

my gucci burned: during shinee world V in dallas, key explains it here (he’s talking to jong when he’s talking about the drier). what a guy, what a meme

minho:

dibidibidi my name is minho (shinee world (doo-bop)): the iconic shinee rap where the famous dibidibidi was born and shinee gets their nicknames: bling bling jonghyun, powerful dancer taemin, dubu leader onew, almighty key, flaming charisma minho; it is ridiculous and hilarious and they kept it for nine years woaw 

flaming charisma: from the aforementioned shinee world rap but they always make jokes about it equating minho to fire 

ex: here, here 

his fkin loud-ass sneezes: he sneezes loudly; but on yang nam show, he explains (for the first time in 9 years) that he sneezes loudly bc he has allergies, he used to hold it in but the doctor said that it’s not good for him so he just let it out; after the members heard that there’s a medical reason, they feels bad man 

dabho: he dabs and infected his members 

taemin:

milk: this is from ring ding dong where taemin is drinking milk for no apparent reason (which is incidentally where i x’d out of the music video when i first saw it LOL); shawols joke that it’s because during this time taeminnie was 16 and still a growing child 

everlasting struggle against bugs: he reALLY hates bugs and recoils away (from the lovely @nothingbutsoulmatesjongkey) from them which is a source of amusement to both shinee and shawols alike. boy is a damn professional but when he spots a bug he will freak out even if it is during a performance LOL sos save him 

more examples: here, here (there are a lot) 

GUCCI SLIPPERS: probably the bane of shawols’ existence, a cursed image 

pics: here, here

mockery: here (also check out all of valentae’s stuff, you won’t be disappointed)

everyone shames him and they are the real gucci that should have been burned 

magic hands: a condition that afflicts him that causes him to  lose/break everything he touches; sometimes while he’s performing his rosary bracelet flies off into the crowd and a fan holds it for him until he can get it afterwards, he also just … breaks things like trophies and once on the set of “view” there were motorcycles that everyone was sitting on and looking at and when taemin touched one, it fell over and part of the plastic cracked (from 2016 weekly idol)

ex: here (sorry i couldn’t find an eng sub so i just did it here 1. he had to get a new rosary ring bc he lost it during running man when he threw something; 2. a moment after a fan gave a present to him, it flew out of his hands while he was waving; 3. during one fine day, when he was in switzerland, he misplaced his train ticket, 4. tries to open sugar packet, fails; 5. once shinee had to wait at the airport for a few hours bc he lost his passport; 6. broke his name sign)

hot chocolate??: from shinee’s “one fine day” he just looks lost and v cute and we mock/love him for it 

this video: i saw it and cried from laughter and my roommate was so concerned 

does not like cucumbers: same with onew 

when cameras are off: why is he like this

ot5:

bbu-syeo (뿌셔뿌셔): this is a korean snack where you pour the power flavor on the noodle crackers and break it (it’s name literally means “destroy destroy” or “crush crush”). 

shinee are models for the snack so they did a commercial in 2009 

for that one there’s a parody that some of the members uploaded themselves on social media (i believe it was key and jong) 

in 2015, minho, onew, and jonghyun came out on korea snl and also parodied it 

they also have another commercial released in 2016 

school of rock: a horror parody that boys did where they are girl students (this is where their names for GIRLnee come from though jong (jongmi , knowing brothers) and key (eungyo, snl) have different ones from other shows as well 

harry potter parody: a parody they did in 2008

the video: here 

shinee reaction 8 years later: here

monkey magic: from an snl skit in 2015, “dangerous manager” 

“show us a cool pose”: from shinee’s 5 second interview, from the part the video starts, it asks them to show a cool pose and all of the shinee members did the peace sign and taemin…… did that (also key speaks in japanese for his answers)

jams sadly: after a married to the music win, they decided to mock their own crying when they win an award 

honestly they’re just super sav bc they’ve been around for so long they don’t give a fuck and it’s hilarious to watch 

they’re the best group
