"If we see their happy faces, we feel more happy"

● You debuted on May and it's already your 2nd year. Being the oldest from the group, What do you think of SHINee recently?

Onew: I think we are accustomed in many different ways. When we are going to do something before, we're always shaking because we feel nervous. Of course it doesn't mean that we are not nervous now, But we feel more comfortable when were going up on stage and have eye-contact with our fans, Since then we are having so much fun.

● Do you often have eye-contact with your fans?

Onew: Yes of course

● So during the time, do you stare at the fans eyes steadily?

Onew: I stare and show my smile.

● That will truly make the fans happy!

Onew: Yes. They feel happy so If we see their happy faces, we feel more happy.

● During your activities of your mini album "2009, YEAR OF US", You often appeared at a variety shows right?

Onew: Yes, We are also getting accustomed to it and we enjoy it actively.

● Does Onew-Kun have interest to make people laugh?

Onew: Kwack!

Onew: Kwack! Kwack! Kwack! ^▽^

● It's Donald Duck! (laughs)

Onew: I doesn't hate to make people laugh like this! ^▽^

Onew: Jamie Cullum's 1st Album. I really really love the song "Twenty Something". I also listen to George Benson.

● Besides music, What kind of things are you having fun?

Onew: I'm having fun recording and collecting the variety shows that I appeared and watch them.

● Do you really love yourself that much?

Onew: No! No! I'm not narcissistic ^▽^ It's not like that, I'm convincing of what the people are reacting to me like the things I said, the things that I had done. I don't have time to look myself at the actual spot so I check and get ready for the next recording.

● We are going to interview Jonghyun-kun next so do you have any message for him ?

Onew: I hope you will make more funny talk/stories. Please tell him! ^▽^

JONGHYUN

"I'm not interested of deciding a game"

● Onew-kun said "Tell more funny talk/stories"

Did he really said that?! (laughs) Sometimes I think that I doesn't fit myself at variety shows. I really love variety but I can't make people laugh actively.

● Do you prefer cool duties more?

No, not really. Especially I don't think to make myself cool. I want to show my true-self. Frankly, I doesn't have the element to make fun.

● I see. You wrote the lyrics for "Juliette" before. It was really a passionate lyrics. Did you ever experienced that

kind of love?

● Besides music, What is Jonghyun-kun interested in?

Exercise. To keep myself in good care. If I don't have stamina, I can't do anything so health is really important...I realized this last year.

● What kind of exercise?

Generally I do push-ups, carry light dumbbells. If i have time, I'm thinking of going to a gym.

● How about Soccer or baseball?

● You're a pacifist

I think so. I'm not interested of deciding a game.

MINHO
"If were just 5 together, were noisy and speak out loud."

Yes. Generally I love sports. That's why I'm so happy when I got the chance to appear at "Dream Team". Of course it accumulates fatigue but when I win at the game, my stress will go away.

KEY
"Actually I'm a bright and active person. I love to make people happy"

● When I saw Key-kun at the jacket cover of "2009, YEAR OF US, I was really shocked.

You're right. I was shocked also (laughs)

●I think it's kind of sexless...

Yes, because usually no male person who have this kind of hairstyle. I would like to try this uni-sexual image just for once. That's why I consult with my designer and chose this hairstyle.

● Oh yes, Taemin said "Please get a treatment" (laughs)

Ahahahaha (laughs) But if I don't get a treatment, my hair is really awful. I always dye my hair so it got damaged.

● The further I looked at you, so far your friendly image is opposite.

I feel that people see me having a cool image because of this hairstyle and make-up. Some of my older sunbaes didn't recognized me (laughs)

● You're already cool but you danced and imitate to perfume's song at the event.

I do (laughs). If I only show this cool image of mine, I'm sure some day the limit will come that's why I think of showing this cute side.

● A cool Key-kun and a comical Key-kun, Which is real?

Excluding this outfit and hairstyle, I think many people say that I'm more cool in appearance. But actually I'm a bright and active person. I love to make people happy.

● What is Key-kun's recommend CD?

KE$HA's "ANIMAL" Album. She's a new female singer in America. Anyway she's really cool. I recommend!
