That being said, starting in April 2011 SHINee will embark on a 14 performance tour hitting 7 locations around Japan. The announcement came as a wonderful Christmas present for the fans attending the event.
The live took place 3 times in order to accommodate the 15,000 fans that won the lottery to attend. Onew opened the concert by shouting out, “Let’s have some fun with SHINee today!” They performed a total of 6 songs including their debut single, “Replay -Kimi wa Boku no Everything-” and “LUCIFER“, as well as a new song in their album called “To Your Heart“.
On January 11th, SHINee will be releasing their DVD, “SHINee THE 1ST CONCERT IN JAPAN ‘SHINee WORLD’“, which features footage from their first one man live last December.
Taemin commented, “I can’t believe that it’s been a year already,” reflecting on the quick passage of time. Minho remarked, “I’m so happy that I got to make wonderful memories with everyone“.
They ended their concert by waving to the crowd shouting “Merry Christmas!”
21 December:
The photobook will contain pictures from their Asia tour concert, ‘SHINee The 1st Concert – SHINee World‘, along with behind-the-scenes, rehearsal, and waiting room photos, all amounting to a total of 192 pages.
In addition, the photobooks will come with booklets full of stories, Q&A sessions, and handwritten messages and autographs from their Nagoya concert in October.
Fans who weren’t able to attend the concerts definitely won’t want to miss out on this!

The book is a photo essay documenting the trio’s experience during their week-long stay in Barcelona, Spain. It features journal-like entries from the members as they delve into personal stories and thoughts. As of the 13th, the book ranked in the top 10 bestsellers list.
At the press conference, the boys began, “We wrote down what we felt and experienced together in a diary format that we think many people will be able to connect to. We experienced a lot of things and felt a lot of passion as we learned about the culture of another country; it was also an opportunity for us to see a reflection of ourselves off stage.”
When asked why they chose Barcelona, they replied, “It was our first break in a while, and we wanted to choose a location far away. All three of us were immediately attracted to Barcelona. We ate and hung out in the streets as much as we could, and we hope that more people visit Barcelona. For those that can’t, we hope that they’ll indirectly experience the joy through our book.”
Key revealed, “Ever since our debut, I wanted to show this particular side of us. I think it’s a book that aptly captures our natural side off stage. My mom bought about 40 copies for herself to share with her friends. I think it is a fun book, and I hope that people will take an interest in it.”
The boys also touched on some habits they discovered about one another. Onew began, “Key has always liked shopping, so while on vacation, he was walking around everywhere, without even a minute of rest. Although we’ve promoted together for such a long time, the three of us had different things we wanted to do. For example, I had a hard time understanding why Taemin was so adamant about buying a soccer uniform.”
He continued, “We had some free time in the middle of our vacation, and Key went shopping while Taemin went to swim. All three of us have very different hobbies.”
Key added, “I saw Onew hyung cooking and felt like I discovered a new side to him. I was surprised to see him cook, but even more surprised with the taste. Why? Because I chewed on raw rice when I tasted his dish.”

Sports Hochi reported that the Abbey Road showcase garnered a swarm of 1,000 European fans, stating,”A fever that hasn’t appeared since the Beatles” and praised SHINee for their world popularity.
At this sacred place, in which only legends such as the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Rod Stewartperform gives a significant meaning to the first Asian singer’s live showcase on the Abbey Road.
SHINee members expressed their feelings as they stated, “We want to go down in history like the Beatles.” SHINee’s success into the world stage with their popularity in London and SMTown Live performance in Paris shows us once again K-pop’s growing popularity across the world.
Junchi Sports devoted a headline of “SHINee is Asia’s Beatles, First Asia Studio Live Showcase on Abbey Road“, while Sankai Sports stated “Beatles Craze“, and Sports Nipun reported “SHINee, Te Beatles, hits London ‘Abbey Road’ Live! Taken the first entry into the world.”

Celebrity airport fashion is always eye-catching, but these two SHINee boys sure know how to make you look twice!
As they were making their way to Paris for the “SM Town Live in Paris” concerts, SHINee’s Key andJonghyun were snapped in these interesting printed tops. Key was seen in a black zip-up vest splashed with white polka dots, while Jonghyun was seen in a bright T-shirt with a zigzag print.
Key’s unconventional vest is right on point – polka dots made their comeback this spring/summer season with both guys and girls. Though it may be trendy at the moment, I’m not a huge fan of polka dots on guys in general. The bottom line is, I wouldn’t want to see my boyfriend sporting a dotted vest!
On the other hand, Jonghyun’s T-shirt may be loud and obnoxious at first, but a second glance had me actually liking it! If he were to wear any other shirt, he would look no different than the average person on the street. It’s the colors and print of this T-shirt that really help kick up his casual fashion to the next level.

After performing in Paris a little over a week ago, SHINee hit Europe once again, but this time they headed for London!
When SHINee landed in the airport at London on June 18th, they were received with much welcome from their European fans, further proving their international fame beyond Asia.
So why are the boys in London?
Not for another SMTOWN Live concert, sadly. However, SHINee fans will be able to see the boys at the Abbey Road Studios on the 19th at 3 PM for their special Japanese debut live event, called “Japan Debut Premium Reception in London“. SHINee is scheduled to perform their Japanese debut single ‘Replay‘ on this day.

When the quintet landed in London, fans reportedly welcomed SHINee with much enthusiasm. Much like your typical fan girls, SHINee’s European fans came ready with their individual names on placards and were screaming ‘oppa’ out of joy. Although there is a significant cultural difference between Europe and Korea, it seems as if fan girl-ism translates the same throughout all parts of the world.
In regards to their airport fashion, the SHINee boys came out of the airport looking quite trendy with sunglasses and hats – an airport staple for any celebrity – paired along with simple outfits. While walking out of the airport, it was also reported that members Key and Jonghyun gave a little fan service to their dedicated fans by looking towards the cameras as fans snapped away.
While the event is a great opportunity for SHINee’s European fans to connect with the five, SMTOWN knows that many will not be able to attend for whatever circumstance. Therefore, they will be updating their Facebook page during the event, so make sure you check out their Facebook!

SHINee fans were delighted with the candid interview the boys had on the February 18th episode of KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay“.
The interview kicked off with member Jonghyun revealing that he didn’t think himself to be handsome. This prompted the members to ask Jonghyun about what his mother thought, and with a laugh, Jonghyun responded, “She thinks I’m handsome.”
He then shared a childhood photo where he’s posing in just his swim trunks. He grinned, “I was a lot prettier as a child“, and the show put up the caption “Sexy Jonghyun” next to the photo, which amused viewers greatly.
When asked to choose a physical attribute that he was confident in (aside from his looks), Jonghyun replied, “Shoulders, maybe?”
During the show’s ‘truth’ corner, member Minho was asked to choose his ideal woman, to which he shyly replied, “I like women older than me.”
When asked why, he continued, “For some reason, I like older women more than younger women. I feel more comfortable and at ease.”
The reporter then revealed that she had heard Onew was quite the drinker. Although Onew refused to admit it, Key confessed, “Onew-hyung pours the alcohol! He doesn’t just drink it, he pours it into his body!”
Taemin was then asked whether he thought he had the oldest mental age in the group. He replied, “False!“, and then attempted to go into a long and serious discussion to have some fun with the question.
Minho continued, “When we aren’t able to take care of him, he always tells us it’s okay and is always trying to be understanding.”
