(SHINee that shines brightly)
(They are back.)
(SHINee's resolute determination 11 years after their debut)
(Do you want to become the most searched subject?)
(Nobody had expected the declaration of war.)
(MCs of Radio Star who's been hosting the show for 11 years...)
(don't even know what to do with them.)
(Monsters of variety shows are awakening.)
(The frightening cuteness and the special whining skill)
(We don't know how far we'll go.)
(And...)
(the empty space they can't accept yet.)
(Things they couldn't say)
(The story of five members of SHINee unfolds on Radio Star.)
("SHINee's Back" begins now.)
Hello, this is "Shining Radio Star".
(During "SHINee World"...)
(This video clip is taboo among SHINee's fans.)
Gook Jin is the strong leader.
Jong Shin is the talker.
Gu Ra is the criticizer.
(Hard to watch)
I even watched the video, but I don't know how to do this.
- Did you really watch it? - Like this.
It's the same rhythm with, "Off the coast of Incheon".
- I watched it yesterday. - I see.
- Tae Hyun's reaction is awesome! - That's the best one.
"Tae Hyun's reaction is awesome!"
My name is Gook Jin!
We are back to our viewers every week!
We are the high-end shining music program,
- Radio Star! - Radio Star!
We invited the guest who've been shining for 11 years!
- This is "SHINee's Back" special! - Yes!
He was on some variety shows.
He was also on some dramas.
However, he's been only roaming around his house lately.
He is the leader and the vocalist of SHINee, Onew!
The legendary idol singer who's good at sports and visuals.
His charismatic rapping skill is legendary too!
He is as passionate as Yun Ho, the most passionate person of SM.
He is the rising passionate star! Min Ho of SHINee!
- Min Ho! - Min Ho.
Min Ho!
Five years ago, he was here as the minor member of SHINee.
However, he has become popular through variety shows and musicals.
So now we can actually call him the major member of SHINee.
He's finally here to live up to his name.
He's the master key of SHINee. Please welcome Key!
- Key is the master key of SHINee. - Key!
He was singing "Replay"...
with his pretty smile when he was only 16.
- That was so cute. - He was the epitome of...
pretty boy!
It's been 11 years he debuted, but he's still only 26.
I'm envious of your age!
- The youngest of SHINee, Tae Min! - Welcome.
Tae Min, you grew up so much.
- Welcome! - Thanks for coming.
- Onew, Min Ho! - Hello.
- Nice to see you all. - Key, Tae Min!
Onew, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, even though nobody knows I'm the leader,
I am actually the leader. This is Onew.
The true leader doesn't show off himself.
Right.
- That's how we say these days. - Thank you.
Min Ho, please say hello to our viewers.
Hello, this is Min Ho of SHINee. It's so nice to see you!
- Is that all? - What about Flaming Charisma?
- That's what I mean! - Should I really...
- do that? - Of course.
I've stopped doing that two years after my debut.
But well... I'm here at Radio Star.
Hell, I'm Flaming Charisma, Min Ho of SHINee.
I see. Flaming Charisma.
Your voice doesn't sound energetic anymore.
- I'm supposed to sound lethargic. - Right.
- He's gotten older too. - Yes.
What about you, Key?
Hello, I'm Key, SHINee's Master Key.
- It's nice to meet you all. - All right.
- He's always full of mystery. - This is awkward.
Why does it sound awkward?
- We haven't done it for a while. - It sounds awkward today.
You're up, Tae Min.
Hello. I'm the youngest in SHINee. My name is Tae Min.
- I see. Great. - All right.
Nice to meet you all.
Onew, I heard that you dropped off the radar lately...
and only play claw machine games.
(The members burst into laughter.)
- You don't have to do that. - Really?
- Heard you only do that. - You don't need to do that.
- I have many plushies at home. - You must've won a lot of them.
- Now I'm going for plastic figures. - Plastic figures.
Is this an old hobby of yours?
Or have you started the hobby only recently due to...
recent problems? How did you start?
- Yes, that's it. The latter one. - I see. You found a new hobby.
Don't you feel happy whenever you win a new stuffed toy?
- Of course. - That's pretty hard.
- Usually, people go fishing. - It's almost...
I love fishing too.
- Okay, okay. - I tried that a few times.
But it's hard to have time for that...
because I have to travel far.
- Fishing... - I looked for an accessible hobby.
Well, fishing is like the claw machine in a way.
- You're picking out the fish. - That's right.
- He said it's like a claw machine. - Right.
It's like fishing from the ocean.
That's the type of hobbies I like.
- The fish will come to him. - Yes, indeed.
But stuffed toys don't come to him.
- Claw machine for the fish. - Yes.
- It's similar to tteokbokki too. - Sure, sure.
I like his jokes.
(His jokes are old.)
Min Ho, you filmed "On the Border" with Gu Ra.
- We went on a trip recently. - Right.
- We went abroad. - "On the Border".
You called Gu Ra "Father" on the show.
When we went to Jordan,
- we stopped by a convenience store. - Okay.
He was very willing to use his personal credit card...
to buy us some drinks. He said it was his treat.
- That's all he will buy for you. - That's it.
- Beverages. - He only buys coffee or beverages.
Right. We went in there, so he could buy us some drinks.
Since we were all Asians, the Israeli owner asked...
- if I was his son. - He asked me that.
- That's plausible. - He asked Gu Ra that.
But don't they look completely different?
- If you look closely enough... - So...
- I said, "His son?" - Son.
The owner laughed then.
After that incident, I called him Father.
That's why I said...
he only said that to make me feel better.
The Jewish were indeed the best entrepreneurs.
I made that comment.
- Jewish are the best entrepreneurs. - They have...
- control over the world economy. - Jewish are the best at it.
- I don't look like him at all. - He was flattering you.
On top of that, he knew Gu Ra was paying.
(Did Gu Ra look like he'd foot the bill?)
- That's what he said. - You said that Gu Ra was...
obsessed with getting Wi-Fi overseas.
- Well, that was... - Kim Happy is back again.
- In the Middle East, - Hello, Kim Happy.
- the phone service was spotty. - Right, right.
- Then he should've let that be. - It was spotty. Right.
- Did you need to call someone? - But...
- we had a wireless router. - Yes, the wireless router.
- That's right. - The staff provided us with one.
- He kept carrying it around. - I see. He kept carrying it around.
He sort of seemed obsessed with that.
- Well, let me tell you... - Did you need to...
- buy a gift for someone? - Let me clear it up.
Wi-Fi and communication were two separate matters.
I carried it around because of the data.
Because being overseas, I had to research things...
right away if I didn't know about it.
- You didn't study in advance? - No, even if I did study ahead,
their history is extremely long.
- That's right. - Their history is everlasting.
- Our knowledge wasn't enough. - That's right.
Even in Jerusalem,
their history was just so long.
That's why I had to keep researching.
- I only researched online. - You are very zealous.
- Thank you. - Sure.
(He's touched.)
- Onew is proud of him. - Right.
- That's right. - Very much indeed.
(Great job!)
Key, whenever you meet Gu Ra,
does he always ask you about scandals?
We'd meet time to time when we film shows together.
And the first thing he'd ask is about...
- changes in our label's stocks. - You're making stuff up.
- Stop lying. - You did ask me that.
- Why are you doing this to me? - And...
- He'd ask me this too. - Why did you ask him about stocks?
People would usually ask me when our new album is coming.
But he asks me how our label's CEO is doing these days.
Tell you what. I only ask him that...
- because... - Okay.
he shares his comments with me about my questions.
(Gu Ra didn't ask for his comments.)
"Gu Ra, so let me tell you what happened."
- That's why I ask him questions. - That's why.
Some people would give me their opinions.
- Key shares his thoughts. - I do.
- I do share my opinions. - That's why.
- I should ask him next time. - Yes, when you ask him...
and the members of Winner...
When you ask those singers,
- About YG's stocks? - Yes, right.
They give me their comments.
If they would simply confirm about rumors,
we won't have any assumptions.
- That would clear things up for us. - That's right.
- I ask because he does that. - He scratches your back for you.
(He gratifies their curiosity.)
Tae Min is the main dancer in SHINee.
I heard that you move around the most among other members.
Yes. For example,
- we have a song named "Sherlock". - "Sherlock".
For that particular song, I move around a lot.
Are you the thief in "Sherlock"?
- No, I move around a lot. - So are you the thief?
- The thief. - The thief?
Sherlock is a detective, so I wondered if you're the thief.
- You should get that. - I'm sorry.
- We have a big generation gap. - Okay.
Hey, this has nothing to do with the generation gap.
(Feeling bitter)
(Looking innocent)
- We watched "Sherlock Holmes"... - Right.
- and "Arsene Lupin" growing up. - Exactly.
- He's so funny. - Anyway, I move around a lot.
That's why I'm always moving.
- Can you demonstrate for us? - Right.
Pretend that other members are on stage with you.
Show us how you usually move around for the song.
- I heard that your dance... - Show them the spin at the start.
is like a battle against yourself.
- Compare it to other members'. - So other members...
- would dance from here... - Okay.
- to this point. - Okay.
- This is the average distance. - That's the other members.
But for me, I start from here...
(1, 2, 3 turns)
- All the way there? - I dance to this point.
- To this point. - Really?
Then what do other members do? Do they just watch you?
- We'd just stand there like this. - Right.
- Go to the front. Go. - Okay.
Seeing it will help.
- You're working hard today. - Go to the front.
- It's easier if we demonstrate. - All right.
- This routine... - It's the steps of the thieves.
- They're all demonstrating? - 5, 6, 7, 8.
- I get it. - Wait.
(Tae Min moves from one end to another.)
- I see. That's what happens. - Yes, yes.
We only do half a turn or one full-turn.
- But he keeps turning. - I see. That's what it is.
- It has to be a diagonal line. - I see.
But why are you competing against yourself when you do that routine?
When I dance that routine,
there's a possibility that I may not make it in time and would be...
close to missing my cue.
- It feels great when I make it. - That must be thrilling.
(It's thrilling.)
But he requests such parts.
Even the choreographers...
Since Tae Min is the best dancer among us,
choreographers would come up with tight routines.
But wouldn't that be hard on you guys? The other members?
To be honest, I prefer to do safe routines.
Because it's not like we'd do the routine only for a few days.
We have to do it for years to come.
- I want to have enough time... - You want some room to breathe.
- when we're making the routine. - That's right.
- The floors differ by stages. - That's right.
Let me tell you what happened this one time.
What? What happened?
We were performing for a show.
One time, the stage was really slippery.
- They tend to be slippery. - A lot of stages are slippery.
Staffs would usually place bottles of water...
for singers in case they get thirsty while talking.
Well, he opened the bottle...
- Who did that? - and splashed it on the stage.
- He splashed it on the floor. - Yes, on the floor.
- Tae Min did that. - Yes, Tae Min did that.
When we were performing,
we all wondered why he did that.
He thought that would make the floor less slippery.
I thought it would get stiffer.
But since Tae Min made puddles of water on stage,
we ended up slipping. It was quite a mess.
How could you think water would make it stiffer?
Sometimes, it's slippery because...
- there's no friction due to dust. - That's right.
- A bit of water might've worked. - You splashed a lot of water.
- If it's too dry, it's a problem. - Right. That's right.
- It could've been worse. - And...
The water didn't spread out evenly.
- There were puddles. - It looked...
- just like this. - There were puddles.
But he wasn't performing alone.
We were performing together.
You should wear aqua shoes.
(It's Gu Ra, Mr. Solomon.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with SHINee who returned as an 11-year-old group.
Today's special, "SHINee's Back".
Let us begin today's special.
Tae Min was selected as the member who would do well today...
which was unexpected.
(Impressed)
I think something went wrong with that.
(The question itself imposes pressure on him.)
As someone who gets to observe him up close,
there are times he would be hilarious.
There are times when he says he'll tell us a funny story,
but it wouldn't be funny at all.
But once in a while, he'd catch us by surprise.
- You must feel a lot of pressure. - That's why.
Exactly. I have to be funny during today's filming.
(He's under a lot of pressure.)
- You shouldn't think about that. - Right.
- He speaks his mind now, right? - He's old enough for that now.
Do you also speak your mind in front of CEO Lee Soo Man?
- Do you? - No, I'd never do that.
What about in front of Yoo Young Jin?
No, I'm careful with them.
Then what about Kim Min Jong?
Would you speak your mind in front of him?
- We don't cross paths that much. - Right.
He doesn't run into them.
(He doesn't run into anyone.)
Key, you said that no one from SHINee...
- would fit in Radio Star. - I did.
What kind of people would fit in Radio Star?
Radio Star is the funniest...
when guests would remember what happened in the past...
and tell us about those stories with a bit of exaggeration.
- We're not good at both of those. - Right.
That's an old-fashioned idea.
We don't do that anymore.
Your last week's episode was exactly like that.
(I see. It was?)
He's mad.
And I have this idea that...
the show must be funny for an hour.
I'm under this pressure that I have to be funny on the show.
When I was informed it'd be only us, I did feel a lot of pressure.
No, no. Let me tell you what's going on nowadays.
When the show is funny, our ratings go down.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Stop talking nonsense, Gu Ra.
- The whole staff went wide-eyed. - No, listen. Hear me out.
- That was the funniest today. - They looked surprised.
- Let me explain. - You keep saying something else.
Say that every story is funny.
Since the staff are human too, they have the same problem.
They don't know which ones to edit because everything is funny.
When they include a lot of stories, the episode gets overwhelming.
But when the stories aren't that funny, they keep watching.
Then they'd find something interesting...
and add the computer graphics. That's how it becomes funnier.
- No one seems to agree. - You know what I mean, right?
You do get along with other people here, right?
What's his deal?
- No one seems to agree with you. - Why wouldn't I get along?
What I told you is true though.
- Great job, Key. - My gosh, that was great.
(The hosts are satisfied.)
(Chuckling)
Onew, how old are you? Are you the oldest?
- Yes, I turned 30 this year. - In what year were you born?
- You were born in 1989? - Yes.
What's the age gap? Are you the same age?
- No, I'm 2 years younger. - He's 2 years younger than me.
- He's younger by two years. - Key and I are the same age.
- They have a four-year gap. - I see.
Onew turned 30 now.
That's why he started to say,
"You'll see when you get older." Please elaborate.
You will definitely feel different when you're in your 30s.
I wouldn't say that first.
Other members would ask me,
"Onew, how did you dance when you were at my age?"
They'd ask me if it wasn't hard for me to dance during concerts.
They realized it when they got older.
They'd catch a cold when they never caught a cold when they were young.
That's right. You're more susceptible to cold.
- That's why... - Besides, your dance routines...
- Right. - are known to require much energy.
- They are known to be powerful. - We'd ask Onew that,
but now, Tae Min tells us...
that dancing is becoming harder for him too.
Tae Min has to turn 30 for the dance routines to be easier.
- You have a point. - They are too powerful.
I bet the routines won't be fast anymore.
A while ago, Onew did this. My goodness.
We were learning the new choreography together.
Only Onew danced it differently.
I told him that he was wrong and demonstrated for him.
Onew said, "I know that too."
(His understanding isn't the problem.)
- My gosh. - He just can't pull it off.
- He knew that. - He said that he knew the moves.
- SHINee is getting old now. - I know, right?
- What kind of... - Which moves couldn't you do?
- I knew them in my head. - Why couldn't you do it then?
My body can't just do them.
For example, say that I had to dance this move...
exactly on the count of three.
I have to dance the move on the count of three, right?
- I'd dance after I count to three. - I see.
- You're slow. - I knew it, but I couldn't do it.
- His nickname is Old Man. - He knew that about himself.
- That's what we call him. - Old Man.
You don't have any inflammation in your gums?
Fortunately, I don't have them.
Whenever I perform now, my muscles in the back get loose.
I see. The back muscles.
It's the same with us. We didn't feel it back in the days.
When you're under the lights for a long time, your eyes hurt.
- Lights hurt our eyes. - Yes, our eyes hurt so much.
- He said his neck muscles are sore. - The back of my neck hurts.
- Seriously. - It does when the shoot lasts long.
But as we get older...
They at least have to dance to the music.
- For them, it's the dance routine. - We didn't do anything.
- But we don't do anything. - No, no. That's not right.
(You'll see when you're at our age.)
Onew, you're been hooked on old jokes for 11 years?
Even after a vocal fold nodules removal surgery,
you kept trying to make jokes.
He couldn't talk because he just had the surgery done.
We were talking about a funny story.
And I guess he came up a joke.
- I wanted to join the conversation. - He wanted that,
but he couldn't talk. He seemed frustrated.
He typed something in his phone...
and tapped me on my shoulder.
He showed it to me quietly.
- That's... - He wrote the lame joke there.
- It'd be funny only in the moment. - Right.
- The timing is important. - We moved onto another topic...
- while he was typing that. - Right.
- He showed it to us later. - It was late when he showed us.
- It wouldn't be funny then. - It's all about the timing.
Did you get your old voice back?
A lot of people's voice changes after the surgery.
- My voice did change. - What happened?
It sounds more like my voice now.
- Your raw voice got better. - Yes, yes.
- Your voice got better then. - I see.
- You should get one too. - Have you gone mad?
Why would you say something like that?
You want me to remove my vocal cord even when it's fine?
- My gosh, he's weird. - Look.
- "This is the best." - He has some weird ideas.
- Listen. - "This is the best."
Aren't you sick of your voice?
My goodness. Then you should get one too.
(Acting childish)
According to an anonymous reporter,
Onew makes lame jokes even during bodily functions.
- I know what he's talking about. - Pardon?
Onew tends to tell endless jokes.
- When he farts... - Okay.
I've never farted in my life.
(He has the dignity of an idol singer.)
- Anyway, - So he farted.
he farted...
and said, "The Peking duck I had last year didn't get digested."
I see. That's the kind of lame jokes he does.
- That's one example. - He does wordplays.
He farted and flew into the air.
"I went up about 2m." He'd say something like this.
- He's a beginner. - When you burp,
you would make the burping sound. He would burp...
and always say this at the end.
"I think I caught a bad case of the cold."
His jokes are not just lame.
- Even we wouldn't laugh at them. - Right.
(His jokes are rejected by these middle-aged men.)
According to the anonymous reporter,
Min Ho tends to dance for the second verse...
while other members dance for the first verse.
That's so true.
- Please elaborate. - So...
- Min Ho gets impatient. - Okay.
He dances ahead of the song. He rules the song.
He controls the song.
He's like a monarch.
He doesn't follow the music. He makes the music follow him.
- He's like a maestro. - Yes, he is indeed.
I wouldn't say that I'm a good dancer.
I worked hard to become a good dancer.
I don't count the beats.
I tend to memorize the moves.
When I'm done doing my dance moves,
other members are still doing the previous moves.
You don't feel the music. You just memorize it.
- Yes, I memorize it. - You memorize it.
That's right. I'd say that.
According to the anonymous reporter...
- Key... - Why did you make so many reports?
sheds tears when he watches "Animal Farm" from SBS.
- The show has many sad stories. - I agree.
- Abandoned dogs, abused animals... - Right.
- Like Ddo Ddo? - Right.
Ddo Ddo?
- I'm sure there's a dog named that. - That's a common name for dogs.
Ddo Ddo.
- "Animal Farm" can be so sad. - Ddo Ddo.
- You know they show sad stories. - Yes, I know.
- I do cry easily though. - That's right.
- You can sympathize easily. - A long time ago, we had...
- a massage chair at our dorm. - Okay.
He was using the chair.
I went into my room and came out after a while.
He was reading a book and crying because it was really sad.
- While he was getting the massage? - Yes.
- He was using the massage chair. - He was reading it like this?
(He was massaging his body and soul.)
(A sad book)
Do you have pets?
Yes, I'm raising two dogs.
What are their names?
Their names are Comme des and Garcon.
- Their names... - Comme des Garcon?
We thought you were sensitive,
but he gave us some peculiar names which I didn't expect at all.
I thought their names would be Bboo Bboo and Ddo Ddo.
Bboo Bboo and Ddo Ddo.
(They have capitalistic names.)
Key said he doesn't want to be funny while criticizing others.
What do you think about this anonymous reporter?
I think it must be Tae Min.
He kept explaining the stories in detail.
- No, it's not me. - Did I make all those reports?
I bet Key shared those stories.
- He doesn't want to criticize them, - Were they all from me?
- but he still made those reports. - That's hypocritical.
(A mysterious, anonymous reporter)
Did I share all those stories?
- What do you think about that? - And...
When I last starred on Radio Star...
- You starred with Dana. - Right.
- I was with Min Jong and Hyung Sik. - Dana. That's when.
I was desperate to appear on variety shows from major networks.
- I starred without my members. - Right, right.
- I was very ambitious. - Okay.
I don't remember much about the shoot.
I thought to myself that I did well and that I was entertaining.
That day, my agent told me that...
- why I... - Why you went overboard?
Yes, he told me that I overdid it, but I couldn't understand that.
- You had fun. - Yes.
- Yes, I had fun filming the show. - I see.
When I saw the episode on TV,
I criticized my members.
I said that Min Ho wasn't a good actor on the show.
I did make harsh comments.
- You were in a trance by then? - Yes.
He doesn't remember.
- Your true colors showed. - That's right.
I couldn't understand why I said all those things...
when I was watching the show.
That's why I thought I shouldn't behave like that,
so when I was quiet on the show,
I didn't go viral online.
- I was careful on the show. - That's right.
- This line of work is difficult. - Right.
I think the variety show you're on nowadays is really funny.
- "Amazing Saturday". - I like he thinks outside the box.
After the incident on Radio Star,
Key behaves differently on variety shows.
That's great.
After that change, he's thriving on variety shows.
I thought that Radio Star has changed Key.
I ought to be harshly criticized at least once in life.
(He's a professional TV personality.)
This is what Min Ho said.
You said Tae Min is turning into a monster little by little.
- You said that? - What do you mean?
- How did this happen? - I'm a monster.
- When I saw Tae Min, - My nose is runny.
- I realized that he was a monster. - Okay.
Tae Min is capable of making each one of our strengths into his own.
(That's true.)
- It's a perk of being the youngest. - Right.
After making everything his own, he's left with a new character.
He learned even the weaknesses?
- Yes. - But should he learn them?
- Give us an example. - For example,
say that it's about dancing.
- Did he only learn weaknesses? - No, no.
He would improve on things that he learned.
- He'd start bantering... - That's why he's a monster.
- and make jokes. - He didn't do that before though.
Key used to do that, but now, Tae Min would do the same.
When I observed him, I realized he learned everything about us.
- I used to be an extreme introvert. - That's right.
- I didn't talk much either. - You were very shy.
My personality changed a lot as I spent time with them.
After spending all these years, I started to resemble them.
- We resemble each other. - Now, I can't beat him.
The monster, Tae Min, said this during the interview.
When the writer asked in the end if he wanted to say anything,
- this is what he said. - I'm curious.
"I think Key..."
"gets urges to steal."
- He learned that from you. - You.
- He learned it from you. - Hey.
- He learned it from you. - How can you say that on TV?
- You can't say that on TV. - He learned it from you.
You taught him that.
- Seriously. My gosh. - Hey.
- Anything to add before we finish? - Keep your belongings close to you.
That's right.
- You'd better be careful. - My gosh.
- We often visit Japan. - Okay.
I bought some wine for my parents from Japan.
I was going to take it with me when I was to return to Korea.
I happily started to pack and looked for the wine.
I tend to lose things a lot and can't keep my things safe...
compared to other members.
When I told them that the wine disappeared,
they thought I lost it at somewhere.
They looked for the wine with me.
When we couldn't find the wine, in the end,
I gave up even though I wondered where it had gone.
At the airport security, the wine was found in Key's luggage.
No, you can't tell the story like that.
- You can't do that. - Hey.
- He learned that from you. - You're a complete thief.
- Let me finish. - That's no way to tell the story.
I can see myself in him.
"No, that's not right. You can't say that. Listen to me."
- We'll listen to your story. - Why was it in your bag?
- We were in the car. - Okay.
I didn't hear that Tae Min was looking for his wine.
He said in the car, "What a shame that I lost my wine."
I asked if the wine was his. This is how it happened.
That's why I returned it to him...
when we were in the car.
But it was impossible for him to not have heard Tae Min.
(Another witness has shown up.)
- We searched the whole house. - Okay.
He left it at the door because he was going to take it with him.
That's why he left it there.
I haven't seen that gesture for a while!
That's what I used to do.
- We... - I believe you.
He bought it with good intentions.
We had to find it for him. I asked, "Where did you lose it?"
What happened was...
You actually left it at the corner of the room.
You wrapped it nicely and...
- It was even wrapped? - I...
- That's... - I have something to say.
The wrapper looked like this.
- It was a square. - I see.
Wrapped like it was just bought from the duty free shop.
I saw what was inside and it was alcohol.
- I thought it was from a fan. - That's why!
- That happens. - So I thought, "This is awesome!"
and put it in my luggage.
- It makes sense. - I see.
And I heard he was talking about the wine.
- You gave it back to him? - Yes, I did.
However, other members thought it was really funny.
They said I might be a kleptomania.
And I thought about it.
I realized I am maybe a bit.
I'm glad it didn't get worse. If it was Tae Hyun or me,
we would have opened it and drunk it right away.
- We would have just drunk it. - That's right.
- That's actually true. - I was going to be nice today.
Do you want me to be the most searched topic again?
"Key is a kleptomania."
Everyone will stare at you at duty free stores.
I think it's because I don't have good memory,
but I do take others' bags to home quite often.
(Somehow it became a moment of confession.)
- All of a sudden... - I just can't remember it well.
I forget if it's mine or not. I just can't remember.
I get in someone else's car often too.
- Really? - You know we all use similar vans.
I got in once and a little bit later realized it smelled different.
A manager looked back and asked, "Who are you?"
- That happens a lot. - That's true.
- Especially when we are at events. - I agree.
I even drove someone else's car to home.
I'm joking.
(Innocent boys...)
- It really happens a lot. - Key, I heard you guessed...
that other members would think of you as greedy, selfish,
- self-centered, and snobby. - Yes.
Nobody said anything like that.
Really?
It's because the question...
The writer asked, "Can you guess what other members think of you?"
So I just made some exaggerated assumptions.
To be honest, I think his personality has changed.
He was selfish and greedy in the past.
Tae Min is not a baby boy anymore.
Are you Hwayi?
- He's the monster boy. - We should call him Hwayi.
He really has changed.
He was still weird back when he stole my wine.
- I was very self-centered. - Back then, yes.
He is like a nurse sticking in a needle, while hugging you.
"It's okay. You won't feel a thing."
(He smoothly criticizes others!)
- Key and Min Ho are the same age. - Yes, we are.
I heard you guys have a sense of rivalry.
Well, I really love sports.
But he doesn't.
If I tell him that I had fun...
playing soccer and basketball,
Key is always like, "Soccer?"
"That's lame. Why would you do that?"
But since I enjoy it, I kind of force him to think the same.
He won't agree still and that's where we see differences.
Is there any hobby both of you enjoy?
- We don't have any. - Oh, I see.
Adding on my point of view of this story,
he wants to finish practice early when he has a soccer game.
But I still have a lot of things to do, and we still haven't...
finished learning our choreography.
But he can only think of his soccer game. He'll make us finish early.
You know that can really demotivate us to practice more at the end.
(Agreeing)
You have totally different hobbies.
- It's really different. - Key, what do you like?
I like clothes. And...
I love to water-ski.
But I'm not interested in something like soccer and basketball.
I've done water-ski with him once.
One day, he asked me what I'm doing the next day.
I said I didn't have much.
He suggested going water-skiing together at Han River. So we did.
I left home without any makeup. I jumped straight out of my bed.
But he was wearing some foundation makeup and started shooting me.
He brought his personal camera...
to film his own reality show with me.
Normally, if you want to do that, you would let your friend know that.
Like, "I'm going to film my reality show."
"You might want to put some makeup on."
- But he didn't say anything! - Why did you not say anything?
I was just wearing my sweat suit.
I asked, "What's going on?"
He said, "Well, I'll film it, but I'm not sure if I'll use it or not."
Anyway, we were there for about an hour,
and he used that full hour for the show.
It was actually really fun. I enjoyed water-skiing.
Min Ho is well-known for his competitiveness.
What do you guys think about that?
How strong is his competitiveness?
My competitiveness is completely gone because of Min Ho.
- Because he's too competitive? - We used to do this soccer game.
I would win at times and he would win sometimes too.
If I ever won, we had to play it until I lost.
I know, that's his personality.
Looking at him being overly competitive,
I looked back on myself, and it didn't look nice.
- That's really... - I know what you mean.
Why would he need to be this competitive?
If we ever joke about something...
and it provokes him a little bit, he'll do it until he succeeds.
You know it's hard to break an egg if you hold it in one hand.
If we say, "You can't break it, right?"
He would try it over and over again until the egg breaks.
If anyone pesters me,
- I have to succeed. - He really has to.
They know I'm like that. They know it really well.
So when they pester me, I know that's what they are trying to do.
But because of my personality, I can't just give it up.
I have to do it and succeed in it.
When he was young, if he ever lost at a soccer game, he'd cry a lot.
Who are you going to watch the World Cup with this year?
That's when we'll be busy with our new album.
We'll be watching it together.
You have someone who always comes over.
There are always people I don't know when I enter his room.
We all live together. But sometimes...
there are people I don't know.
That's the opposite situation of "Men on a Mission" of JTBC.
I just say hello to them and they are also like, "Hello!"
We just say hello to each other.
(Strangers living in Min Ho's room)
- Who are they? - Must be someone from soccer.
- I play games with them. - I see.
Min Ho has a lot of friends who are older than him.
There's an episode before he filmed the movie, "Derailed".
It's before we all knew Ma Dong Seok in person.
We were watching his movie and said, "Dong Seok is so funny!".
You wouldn't really call him Mr. Ma in that situation.
But Min Ho was like, "Oh, you mean, Mr. Ma?"
He has one thing we don't have.
He's really proud of his friends being famous.
He's a bit like a name-dropper in that way.
There's nothing wrong with knowing someone famous.
- But it's weird to us. - "Oh, Mr. Ma?"
We didn't even ask if he knew him in person or not.
I know what you mean.
He could have just said, "He's a nice person."
- He likes to brag about it. - But he's like, "Oh, Mr. Ma!"
- "I know him very well!" - You know what I mean.
(Joking)
I heard there are three Ho-Brothers at SM Entertainment...
that even Lee Soo Man avoids.
The three passionate boys of SM Entertainment.
They are Min Ho, U-Know, and Su Ho.
When did Su Ho become one of you guys?
Su Ho is now one of them too.
His eyes... They're full of something.
- He was really enthusiastic. - That's right.
I think this was the beginning of...
the heavy Ho-Brothers watch.
I mean, we briefly copied this at the beginning.
(Deep sigh)
That finally arrived to main broadcasting stations.
It's actually called as the...
"Prohibited Video of Min Ho".
Was it "Prohibited Video of SHINee"?
- That's right. - Yes, there are some.
The lyrics were actually written by Yoo Young Jin, the producer.
It's actually a part of a real song.
- Do you blame him at times? - What?
Do you think it's his fault?
Min Ho was blaming him for a couple years.
They can talk about it now.
I mean, think about it.
It's okay. Just say anything.
Look at that.
- "Strong item Tae Min"... - Imagine having lyrics like,
- "I'm Gu Ra with a Big Chin"... - True.
(An unexpected big punch)
You said you were not going to make fun of someone!
He's not nice!
That's what you've been saying today!
- Well, you have a big chin though. - I know,
- I do know, but... - Right...
He's right about it.
When we recorded that song, we were a bit embarrassed.
You know, now it's recorded, it's going to be out forever.
Did you think it was weird at first too?
Among us, we were just like,
"What do you guys think?"
- But we couldn't tell our opinions. - We were new and...
That's exactly 10 years ago.
- It was right after our debut. - Yes, 10 years ago.
"Bling bling is Jong Hyun."
"Our strong item is Tae Min." Oh, I see what it is.
Wait, what does this mean? "Tofu on leader is Onew"?
This is really weird.
Tofu is Onew's nickname.
- Because I look soft. - It means "Tofu, the Onew Leader".
"Tofu On-leader."
That's why he was...
- No, I don't understand this. - Now I get it.
Key, yours is the best.
- The master key of SHINee. - I agree.
- "Flaming Charisma Min Ho" is fine. - That's also not too bad.
"Tofu On-leader" is really strange.
- What's that? - "Tofu On-leader"?
- I'm Tofu On-leader! - Is that how you say it?
I can see Yoo Young Jin's age from these lyrics.
(I can tell Yoo Young Jin's age.)
Why don't you do it again here? Let's pester him.
Are we going to do it? Okay! You can't do it, right?
- He's not going to do it. - It's because he can't!
- Min Ho, really? - He's not going to.
A big star should be able to do this. I guess he's not!
- Looks like he can't. - I know, right?
- Let's not talk to Min Ho about it. - He can't do it.
- That's true. - Min Ho is not going to do that.
Tae Min and Key would do it. But Min Ho can't.
- I'll do it. It's been 10 years. - That's great.
It's been 10 years.
I think he's not going to do it right. He'll just slur it.
It's not going to be that great. Don't you think so?
I hope he doesn't!
He won't try hard.
You are really good at pestering me.
I feel like I really have to do it well.
I don't think I can watch it.
- Should I beatbox for you? - Yes, please.
- I see. On the fourth count. - Yes.
(The leader's helping his younger brother.)
(Bling bling is Jong Hyun)
(He's trying hard.)
(It's painful to watch it with their bare eyes.)
(Key is SHINee's master key)
(Flaming Charisma Min Ho)
- You really improved! - That was great.
- Really. - Now he's in his late 20s.
- This is fun. - I watched it this morning.
I am sweating.
What you did just now is different from what I saw this morning.
Yoo Young Jin wrote the lyrics well.
(Yoo Young Jin wrote the lyrics well.)
Does Key often speak in the third person?
- Do I do that? Yes. - In the third person.
He refers himself in the third person.
- Kang Ho Dong does that. - Yes.
- "Ho Dong did this." - Yes.
Key's real name is Ki Bum.
"Ki Bum is hungry." He does that.
(Shocked)
How do you do that?
I don't do it in seriousness.
I know everyone gets annoyed about it.
"Gosh, Ki Bum is hungry."
I go to someone and keep saying that.
I don't know why he keeps annoying me.
I guess he gets...
a kick out of seeing me annoyed.
- Does he still do it? - Yes.
I still do it these days.
"Gosh, Ki Bum is tired."
I do that.
(I am more tired.)
It goes...
- against Min Ho's grain. - That's right.
He doesn't show his cute act to be cute,
but to annoy the others.
I started it upon finding out that Min Ho hates it.
(I do it to annoy the others.)
(Ki Bum is having fun.)
Onew,
I heard that you get humiliated every day.
We were in Japan for a concert.
We met up early in the morning for practice,
but Onew hadn't washed up.
I said, "Onew, you should wash up."
He had just come out of the shower, but Tae Min went,
"Aren't you going to wash up? You should do that."
- What made you say that? - Eve when he washes up,
- it's not very apparent. - He doesn't put lotion on his face.
- He take care of himself. - He doesn't do that.
He gets dry patches around his mouth,
Isn't that too much?
You should wash up more thoroughly.
I guess he doesn't wash up properly.
- They aren't dry patches, but... - He doesn't see a dermatologist.
- No, he doesn't. - He looks shabby.
Isn't that worse?
Looking shabby is better than having dry patches.
(Thanks, guys.)
SHINee is the original idol group with skinny members.
However, I heard that the members eat a lot.
Is it true that Onew can eat 4 or 5 servings of meat by himself?
Really?
Sometimes, I have a meal in three courses.
Was SHINee that first idol group with skinny members?
Their skinniness...
started a new trend.
It was very shocking.
Did you wear skinny jeans to make your dance moves stand out?
- That's one of the reasons. - Do normal jeans move too much?
We have to wear tight clothes.
- They show the dance moves. - That is a way...
to make it look like we have nice proportions.
If we wear baggy clothes,
it can look like we have terrible proportions.
You don't do leg exercises, do you? They thicken your legs.
None of us...
tend to gain weight.
It seems that way.
That's what you think.
- Onew and I... - Key and Onew are stockier.
Like girl groups,
we have high seasons for which we have to go on a diet.
When we don't have a lot of work, we eat without reservations.
Since a new album is coming out soon,
we have to be mindful...
- of how we look. - How does your meal plan go?
Would you talk about it in the third person?
"Ki Bum's meal plan goes like this."
Do you want to get annoyed by me?
I just want to hear it.
How does Ki Bum's meal plan go?
(Gu Ra shouldn't make such thoughtless remarks.)
Ki Bum's meal plan...
I have been on every kind of diet.
I am serious. I have tried...
the Denmark diet and one food diet.
- I have had packed meals delivered. - You have tried the detox diet.
- Detox diet and shakes. - You have tried everything.
I have removed carbohydrates from your diet.
I have even tried...
To be honest, I have tried diet pills.
- Which method was the best? - The best method.
The best method...
is eating less.
People fail to lose weight...
because switching regular meals to chicken breasts so suddenly...
is the worst.
Instead of that,
I reduced my carbohydrate intake very gradually.
For about a year, I didn't eat carbohydrates.
I didn't gain any weight back.
I ordered bulgogi in an earthen pot and ate only half the rice.
Doing that made me lose weight.
You have to eat carbohydrates.
You have to eat it eventually.
As long as you avoid refined carbohydrate,
- you lose weight in no time. - That's right.
I don't eat white rice.
Do you still do that?
- They must take care of themselves. - I do it when it's necessary.
When I joined SM Entertainment,
I was called fat for the first time in my life.
Compared to those...
who weren't preparing to become celebrities,
- I wasn't fat. - You weren't fat.
You weren't fat at all.
When I was a trainee,
they suggested that I lose some weight.
Wasn't Shin Dong in SM Entertainment back then?
- The rules don't apply to him. - He is special.
It's his character.
Shin Dong is isolated.
(Jealous)
According to SHINee's manager,
Tae Min goes to the restroom so often that his nickname is...
"Poop Tae Min".
Would it be okay to talk about this?
They say some people have straight intestines.
- I am like that. - Straight intestines.
I go to the restroom right after I eat.
- Then I eat some more. - We say it's a waste of food.
Really?
I think I have a fast metabolism.
- It's a good thing. - It's a good thing.
I have never been constipated.
It's fascinating to hear that...
some people can't go to the restroom for days.
It makes no sense to me.
I can't help but think, "It must have piled up."
Do you think people don't poop on purpose?
People who are constipated are like that.
It's like the pain of childbirth.
You don't understand because you haven't experienced it.
It can be a problem...
because I can't go to the restroom all the time.
It can be a struggle to hold it in.
It's the worst when I get a sign during a concert.
It's not like you can go to poop in the middle of the concert.
(It's not like you can go to poop in the middle of the concert.)
- Onew is on a diet. - It can't be helped.
What's the worst about being on a diet?
It's hard...
to watch the members eat something delicious...
while I eat a banana going, "That looks delicious."
- You gain weight easily. - Yes.
I get bloated when I eat something salty.
I can't eat anything with the members.
- Then you can avoid salty food. - Yes.
He is saying that it's hard on him.
He wants to eat salty food.
- I see. - He wants to eat savory food.
- You are insightful. - That's right.
Onew looks...
a bit like Tae Hyun.
- They are similar. - That's right.
I also gain weight easily.
You played a character named Gyeon Woo once.
(Onew and Gyeon Woo rhyme.)
Right? Aren't they similar?
"Gyeon Woo!"
"I am sorry!"
You played a character named Gyeon Woo once.
I thought that his lips are similar to mine.
- Thank you. - Gosh, don't say that.
Thank you.
(It's heartwarming.)
This is the best we have heard...
in terms of relationships.
It says Tae Min has never been in a relationship.
Is it true?
I had a preliminary meeting with the scriptwriters first.
I thought the members won't reveal their past relationships.
When I talk about my past relationships,
the fans get disappointed.
- That's not true. - You have been in a relationship.
I have been in a relationship.
Of course you have.
He joined SM Entertainment at the age of 15 or 16.
It must have been hard to meet someone.
I did have a girlfriend before I joined SM Entertainment.
Did you have a girlfriend?
(He pours out the truth as easily as he goes to the restroom.)
He is more straightforward than Gi Kwang.
He told us that he has been in a relationship.
I am also religious.
I see.
He is also religious.
You know, Gi Kwang said...
(It's like an official question about relationships.)
he hasn't been in a relationship since ninth grade.
As fellow idol singers, what do you think about that?
(It was hard to believe Gi Kwang's claim.)
(I am not a person who can lie.)
- Do you think it makes sense? - What do you think?
Tell us.
Tell us with honesty.
Since he is in a different group,
- I won't make any comments. - He is a member of Highlight.
- Come on. - We don't know him.
We can't answer that question because we don't know him.
- He refused to comment. - Gi Kwang said he spoke truthfully.
I guess they haven't heard anything.
Gi Kwang must have been careful.
I recently came to know Gi Kwang through a program.
- I think it could be true. - Why?
He often said that he is lonely.
That means he has had a girlfriend.
That's right.
He knows what it's like to have a girlfriend.
I think you made a mistake!
That means he has had a girlfriend.
I think I made a mistake.
He also told me it has been a while since he had a girlfriend.
What he said made us go,
"How is that possible?"
That's why we brought it up.
(He should appear on "How Is That Possible".)
Onew, it says that you have the standard cute act...
of a male idol singer who looks like sunlight personified.
What is that?
It's something like this.
You should show us.
You know, I love you
(He stops abruptly.)
Is that the standard cute act?
(I see.)
- It's hard, right? - Yes.
It must be hard.
Cute acts are hard.
- You know... - It must be hard.
- Gu Ra, show us a cute act. - Listen to me.
- Show us a cute act. - No.
- Show us a cute act. - Be quiet.
Let me say this first.
- Look at Tae Hyun. - Listen.
When you act cute,
(Gu Ra becomes distracted.)
you dig up old emotions.
"Do you remember your childhood?"
That has nothing to do with cute acts.
"Do you remember what your father did?"
"Show me a cute act."
- It's better to do it suddenly. - That's right.
Then a cute act comes more easily.
- Otherwise, it's pressuring. - We want to avoid it.
- We break out in a cold sweat. - The MCs are the same.
- I... - Ask Gu Ra for a cute act.
Gu Ra, show us a cute act.
(Gu Ra's cute act)
You just do it.
It's as if there is a button for cute acts.
It's work.
Show us a cute act.
This is it.
- This is my cute act. - Show us a flirty act.
A flirty act?
That's too much.
A flirty act is too much.
A flirty act is new.
Show us a flirty act.
- Min Ho did it. - We will have to come up with one.
A flirty act!
Tae Min...
has a specialty that isn't for TV programs.
I can make my eyes shift.
Why isn't it for TV programs?
How does it go?
When we were shooting a music video, he said that his eyes feel strange.
- Then he showed us his specialty. - You should take a look.
- It's fascinating. - Let's take a look.
- Show us. - Look at the camera.
- Did I do it? - No.
- I did it. - We didn't see it.
Cross your eyes.
Can't you face the front?
I have to look at my hand.
What is he doing?
(His eyes shift a little.)
- You did it. - Did I do it?
It can't be used for TV programs.
His hand covered everything.
That's why you said it isn't for TV programs.
I did it, right?
Where did this come from?
- He can do it if he faces someone. - Try it.
- Look at Tae Hyun. - He needs to be close.
- He needs to be close to him. - Look at Tae Hyun.
- He needs to be close to me. - Go close.
He needs to be close to me.
- Did I do it? - Your eyes shifted.
The cameraman...
- Your eyes shifted. - They did, right?
- Do it again. - We need it on camera.
(Their eyes shift and they become closer.)
See if my eyes are shifting.
(Are my eyes shifting?)
No?
- No? - It's fascinating.
- Alright. - His eyes shift very slightly.
His eyes shift.
For TV programs, we want something wild...
like Lee Kyung Kyu's specialty.
Your specialty was small but certain.
- Small and certain! - It's not ideal for TV programs.
You should at least know how to write your name with your eyes.
You should be able to move your eyes rapidly.
You should be able to spit out your eyes.
Like this?
- Then you should put them back in. - They should circle your head.
It's not a specialty for TV programs for sure.
Tae Min is all over the stage when he performs.
I heard that you split your legs often.
I rip my pants often.
- Do you rip your pants often? - Really?
Since he dances so passionately,
his pants rip.
Where does it rip? In the middle? It must look funny.
That's right. My pants once ripped during a year-end performance.
One dance move in "Sherlock" requires me to spread my legs.
It was the highlight.
The stage was going up...
and the fans were cheering for us.
- Then my pants ripped. - He was in the center.
You should be careful.
I felt my pants rip.
Thankfully, I was wearing black underwear.
Why don't you write a message on it?
(Why don't you write a message on it?)
Since your pants rip often.
You don't know when they will rip again.
You said that your pants rip often.
"Open Sesame".
I heard that Min Ho rips his clothes on purpose.
He has a nice body.
Performers do it often...
- to show off their bodies. - One time, at a concert.
I had worked hard on my body.
Then you should rip your clothes.
I mean, I like to work out,
but I had truly pushed myself for this body.
- "I must show it off." - I thought to myself,
"I must show it off."
And I ripped my shirt for good.
(Get ready.)
(He ripped his shirt.)
I thought more about ripping my shirt than the dance.
Ripping your shirt...
only looks great when you do it in a cool way.
That's enough of a performance. However, Min Ho did this...
with his face.
He did this.
(Licking)
- He did this. - My goodness.
I didn't stick out my tongue!
- He is a good storyteller. - I didn't stick out my tongue!
- He is good. - I am reevaluating Tae Min.
He is only 26 years old.
(He attacks an older member with a smile.)
- He's no joke. - That's hilarious.
I did this, but I didn't stick out my tongue.
The concert went on for three days.
On the 1st and 2nd days, I revealed the front.
However, my trainer went,
"That won't do. You made your back look perfect."
- "You should take it off." - You should show your back.
He urged me and I became confident.
- That's why you did it. - On top of ripping my shirt...
and throwing it on the ground,
I took off my jacket.
Then he did a body roll.
(He tells it to the world.)
He did a body roll.
Doing a body roll flexes my muscles.
- My muscles become more visible. - Your muscles become more visible.
I think you and I have similar bodies.
That's a high praise.
I think you will get muscles like me if you work out.
I was in a men's health magazine.
- You did that back in the days. - Really?
I was on the cover.
Lee Yoon Seok was on it, too.
He did it when he was on "Qualifications of Men".
- Are you sure it wasn't "TV Guide"? - It's true.
- "TV Guide"! - "TV Guide"!
He did that when he was on "Qualifications of Men".
Have you seen my body?
(Have you seen my body?)
I am sure only one person has seen it.
- My goodness. - Oh dear.
What?
(Surprised)
The members of SHINee act a lot these days.
Key, I heard that you evaluated each member's acting skills.
I wouldn't say I evaluated them.
It's just that the members are good at different things.
Min Ho has...
the cool image of an idol singer.
For that kind of a role,
I think he'd be the best suited one out of us all.
- What about the others? - Tae Min.
Tae Min? What were you in?
- I wasn't in anything. - Tae Min was...
You were in a sitcom.
Tae Min started acting first.
- He started a long time ago. - Right.
Tae Min would be perfect for a role...
of a man who looks nice on the outside,
but is actually a demon.
At the end,
you find that he is the culprit.
- He is the monster. - It's like "Hwayi: A Monster Boy".
- It's like "Hwayi: A Monster Boy". - 'Hwayi: A Monster Boy".
- A horror film. - How about Onew?
- Onew? - Onew has...
- only been in one drama. - Right.
- "Descendants of the Sun"? - Yes, "Descendants of the Sun".
Are you saying he doesn't deserve a comment?
No, I am not.
He doesn't think I am at that level.
He doesn't have a set image.
I guess I am not the one to talk...
since I've only been in 2 dramas and now working on 1 movie.
- What are you working on? - What's the name of the movie?
You were in a drama too.
It's called "Hit-and-Run Task Force".
- "Hit-and-Run Task Force"? - Yes.
Is that why you shaved your head?
Yes.
I heard you often get surprised at the shoot.
It's my first time to be in a movie.
For dramas, you have no time to be absorbed...
- in the character. - You're always pressed for time.
They might go with a take as long as the lines are correct.
The production crew rush the processes through.
That's why the actors need to do a good job.
Even the actors are unsatisfied with that.
"Let's do another take." "That won't be necessary."
"We don't have time. Get out."
- I know what you mean. - Yes.
There is simply no time for that.
With movies, the lines change for every take.
I am sure the style is different for each director, but...
Lee Sung Min fascinated me.
If the line was "This is tasty,"
the reasons and other details...
changed with every take.
(Lee Sung Min's acts were different every take.)
Seeing that made me realize...
how the atmosphere is different at film shooting sites.
Onew, you were in "Descendants of the Sun".
You felt betrayed upon reading the article...
about Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki's wedding?
Maybe I am dense,
- but I don't know who are dating... - You didn't know.
unless I hear about it directly.
I didn't know they would get married.
It was Min Ho who attended their wedding though.
Min Ho is close to Song Joong Ki.
Yes, I am close to Joong Ki.
Joong Ki debuted about the same time as we did.
He and I were in the same program.
- Really? - Ever since then,
we have been keeping touch.
He never asks us to join him to those events.
(Celebrity weddings)
Key, it would've been random for you to go.
I guess Key wanted to go.
He is very possessive about his friends.
(Not you!)
- Tell that story about Chang Min. - What was it?
He went to see Chang Min...
without telling you.
- Tell us the story. - He remembers everything.
Let me give you an example.
Chang Min said,
"Min Ho, let's play..."
"a soccer game with Tae Min." But he went...
to Chang Min's house by himself...
- without telling Tae Min. - Who is Chang Min?
- Lee Chang Min. - No, no.
Chang Min of TVXQ.
I see.
- Chang Min of TVXQ. - I thought you meant Lee Chang Min.
His name is Chang Min too.
- All right. - I was confused too.
Later on, Chang Min said,
"It would have been nice if you had come, Tae Min."
That's right.
What did he say Min Ho said?
"I didn't hear anything about it."
That's what I said.
Min Ho told Chang Min that Tae Min was busy,
but Tae Min was free.
(Attacking)
(Laughing)
I think...
Min Ho is close to a lot of older men.
He likes getting coddled.
- He doesn't want to share. - Exactly.
- He doesn't want to share. - No sharing.
- He wants to be coddled alone. - "I want them for myself."
(Their love is mine.)
I don't think that way.
I remember what happened now. I didn't try to leave him out.
I asked Tae Min to go with me several times,
but he refused to go. Chang Min asked me...
why Tae Min didn't come,
but I couldn't tell him that Tae Min refused to come.
So I told him that Tae Min had something to do.
I was covering Tae Min up.
- Anyway, Key is quite observant. - However, I wasn't...
talking about just that single case. I gave you an example...
to describe his personality in general. You know what I mean.
- I understand. - That's funny.
He's quite observant.
- I have my own reasons. - I have so many stories to tell.
All of us noticed that.
- We can feel it. - Did you want to go to the wedding?
- He... - No. I wouldn't mind.
- He wanted to go to the wedding. - Did he?
I'm not saying it's good or bad. I just told you what happened.
Onew was criticized about his acting performance...
in the drama, "Descendants of the Sun".
It's called "CPR Performance".
Let's see.
How's the patient?
(He's sweating for no reason.)
However, Tae Min knows the reason.
I don't think it wasn't that Onew is poor at acting.
Onew tends to be too considerate of others.
If he films a scene where he hits someone,
he pretends to hit him because he's worried if it hurts.
When you do a CPR, you push the chest.
I bet he was worried it might hurt. He was supposed to do it like this,
- but he did it like this. - It could hurt.
- I see. - He just moved his neck.
His hands were not moving.
When I saw that, I thought he was probably too considerate again.
- Was there a real person there? - Yes.
- There was. - A background actor was there.
- He was lying on the ground. - But it must've shown.
- People noticed it. - I heard it'd be a close-up shot.
So I thought it'd be okay if I just move my shoulders.
- But my whole body was filmed. - Show us.
- I was supposed to do it like this. - That's right.
- That could hurt the person. - That's hard.
I thought they weren't filming my hands, so I did it like this.
Your song should've been played in that scene.
(Let's do the CPR dance together.)
You know the ribs could break during CPR.
- The ribs can break during CPR. - That's right.
However, people could see that he was pushing down too gently.
- That's right. - He had no choice.
Just like the wine, Tae Min loses his things often.
- That's true. - You almost came back to Korea...
in your underwear? Is that true?
- The thing is... - He must've lost everything.
- In the morning, - I bet it was a bit exaggerated.
we send our suitcases first.
And then we leave the hotel.
I had to pack my stuff in a hurry...
as soon as I woke up.
And I packed all of my clothes.
- Including the clothes to wear. - That happens.
- I packed the clothes to wear. - And did you send your suitcase?
- Yes, I did. So... - I see.
Our manager came and told us we should leave,
but I couldn't find my clothes to wear.
- Were you wearing only underwear? - Yes. I had no clothes to wear.
- "Should I wear the robe?" - The one in the hotel room?
- So... - So I borrowed clothes...
- from my group members. - I see.
- I borrowed a shirt and jacket... - I haven't heard about it.
- They perform overseas often. - I...
am really forgetful.
One day, I lost my phone at home. I couldn't find it.
I thought it might be in the fridge, and it was there.
People like him shouldn't keep their phone on silent mode.
- They would lose their phones. - I even put on a neck strap once.
- I've gone home wearing a mic. - I see.
- Gosh. - That's really expensive.
- I know. - That's right.
One of the writers I know...
We put on dark brown slippers when we go through airport security.
He got on the plane in the slippers and went to the Philippines.
He left his shoes in the basket.
You know the dark brown slippers, right? He wore them.
He traveled in the Philippines in them for six days...
and came back to Korea. He returned them and found his own shoes.
My goodness. That's unbelievable.
- He took almost 100 photos... - That can happen.
in the dark brown slippers.
(He's as forgetful as Tae Min.)
Key is famous for his fashion style.
Do harsh comments excite you?
Do you really feel good?
I know that there are fashion styles...
that everyone thinks are nice.
However, rather than wearing clothes that make me...
look ordinary and boring,
- I'd rather draw attention... - Right.
with a unique fashion style according to my public image.
It's better to get criticisms than no responses.
Some of the worst dressers are chosen as the best dressers.
- I've been both the best and worst. - Exactly.
There are some people like him.
- I was chosen as the worst only. - They try experimental styles.
You were chosen as the worst only?
(All of Onew's attempt ended in failure.)
When Key was younger, when we were trainees,
I knew he would become a fashionista.
When I first met him, he was wearing a beanie with a skull on it,
a sweater with a skull on it, and jeans with chains...
on them.
- Ripped jeans. - And his hair covered his face.
I didn't have money or knowledge, but I loved fashion.
- That's a good way to describe it. - I understand.
- It was when I was younger. - It's a good way to describe it.
What kind of fashion style do you pursue lately?
Lately, I pursue minimalist style.
I'm not so young anymore.
Until only a few years ago,
I didn't care what people think, so I wore experimental clothes...
- very often. - That's right.
I got a lot of criticisms back then.
Park Myung Soo once wore a suit jacket...
with hanbok trousers.
(A suit jacket with hanbok)
When I choose...
clothes, a hairstyle, or a makeup style,
I don't try to look nice.
I think it's more important to use it as a marketing strategy.
If I had a public image like Min Ho's,
- I wouldn't have to dress uniquely. - That's right.
But I'm different from him.
If I wore ordinary clothes,
I wouldn't stand out.
I was impressed by Key when we took a photoshoot for our album cover.
The photographer told us to look at the camera.
When he told us not to look at the camera, we all looked away.
But he was staring at the camera.
(Only he was looking at the camera.)
When the photographer gave us the direction, we all looked away.
But when I looked at him, he was...
gazing at the camera like this.
- You should follow the directions. - I said we should look away.
He said, "Really? I didn't know." And then he looked away.
(He's charmingly obsessed with attention.)
Tae Min, I heard you felt like you were in a slump...
from when you made your debut until last year.
- I think I was too greedy. - You seem ambitious.
I had a strong desire for possessions...
and for recognition for my work.
I wanted my group to become even more successful.
I knew we were loved by many people, but I wanted bigger success.
Therefore, I nagged people around me and got stressed out.
But I changed my mindset.
I thought, "What could there be left..."
"for me after this?"
I realized that good memories...
last longest,
and enjoying the present moment is the most important thing in life.
Now, I'm trying to enjoy whatever I do.
- To make good memories? - Yes, and to feel happy.
Now, my ultimate goal...
is being happy,
- not becoming successful. - Your motto has been changed.
You go out of the hotel to have fun when you go overseas for work?
- I became a bit extroverted. - And you eat a lot of cheese?
He can eat cheese in his hotel room.
I was talking about street food. If he goes to Switzerland,
he should try fondue.
Oh, street cheese?
When the other members went sightseeing...
or eat outside of the hotel, I always...
- You didn't go with them. - I stayed in my hotel room.
Does he stay in the hotel when he goes overseas?
- Yes. Only some of us go out. - Key and I...
- go out the most. - You two have that in common.
We have that in common.
- We fight, but hit it off well. - That's good.
- We never take each other's photo. - That's normal.
- We just take selfies. - So Tae Min never went out.
- He rarely went out. - I rarely went out.
I preferred to lie in my bed.
- I would ponder upon thoughts. - You lived like that for years.
- When you went overseas for work. - That was my personality.
I was introverted. I felt...
I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I felt comfortable.
However, since I changed myself, I came to enjoy it.
Now, I like to hang with other people.
- All right. - All right. Recently,
something sad happened.
There used to be 5 members, but now, there are only 4 of them.
Have you recovered emotionally?
Well... How do you feel?
I heard you guys hesitated to come on the show.
- Yes, it was. - That's true.
We didn't hesitate because it was Radio Star.
- I understand. - We were worried about...
appearing on a TV show.
We were all worried.
Since we had to be funny on a variety show,
we weren't sure if it was right to do so.
At first, we also hesitated to...
release a new album and perform on TV.
However, over time,
we picked up the pieces.
We talked about the future more often.
We tried hard to recover emotionally.
I... I attended his funeral too.
I heard SHINee members would come on the show today,
and when I came to the studio...
and saw the four of them, it felt real.
It felt weird.
I'm sure all four of us felt the way I felt.
We used to go to the same studios...
and meet the same staff members,
but it was hard to face them.
However, I believe this is something we should...
- overcome to move on. - That's right.
We have to continue our career after all.
- So you want to remain as a group. - They should continue their career.
They should keep going.
It was when I was trying to change my personality.
It happened at that time.
And at the time, I wanted to work as a soloist,
but then I realized how nice it is to have my group members.
So...
I can't go on.
I understand.
Onew, you couldn't shed tears even though you were sad,
so you went for counselling.
At first, I did.
When the incident happened?
Yes. I thought I shouldn't cry.
You thought you shouldn't cry?
So you held back tears.
During the funeral...
You quietly... I saw you.
I remember that Onew...
was relatively calm and quiet keeping it together.
You don't have to talk too much of what makes you sad.
- Right. - Yes.
(It's still hard for them to talk about it.)
- I'm sorry. - Don't be. It's okay.
In fact, it's only been seven months since the incident.
I thought it would be too much for you to be on the show.
- It must be. - So...
I was worried on my way here.
We all...
After the incident happened,
we found out there were counselling sessions for PTSD.
Through the treatment, we realized...
This is why we decided to come on the show,
and why we held the concert in Japan right after the incident happened.
(The reason why we held the concert right after was...)
Of course what happened...
did not make us fall apart at all.
And overcoming it is not the proper expression.
However, we realized that in order to accept what happened...
and get back on track,
we should...
talk about it on our own free will at least once,
not because someone else made us to do so.
It was stressful for me to go out...
after it happened.
Everyone I met...
tried to comfort me, and that stressed me out.
It was hard to deal with.
That's why I wrote something on my social media.
I asked people...
to treat us just as they did before,
so we can accept what happened quickly...
and go back to our regular lives.
In order to get back on track,
we decided to come on the show and talk about it.
That's why we made up our minds.
Recently, the four of you held a concert at Tokyo Dome.
How was it?
- We contemplated a lot. - Right.
There were a few reasons we held the concert.
We did it for Jong Hyun.
We also did it for our fans.
Our purpose was to commemorate the memory of him...
and say a proper goodbye to him with our fans.
Besides, the concert...
had been scheduled...
a year before when there were five of us.
- It's a promise with your fans. - Yes.
It was an unfortunate incident, but you have to keep going.
- You'll be stronger. - I believe you'll get through this.
- I believe so. - Right.
Key, was there a comment that broke your heart?
I couldn't even imagine...
anyone leaving a harsh comment on that matter.
- Online comments? - I see.
Harsh comments and other things.
When news about our concert was announced,
some people said...
we were using the sad incident...
because we're popular singers.
Some said we were using it as a marketing strategy.
I read some comments like that,
and I hated it.
Reading online comments gives you a chance to know...
how many different people are in this world.
They don't represent the general public.
- That's true. - Don't mind them.
I did say that I don't care,
but it doesn't mean I don't feel anything.
I get to not care about such comments later on,
after getting so sick of them over time.
So when I read comments like that,
I thought,
- "There are all sorts of people." - Right.
- His feelings were hurt. - I want to say one thing.
We used to try to show people what they would like to see.
That's what we always strove to do.
But now, we want to do it for ourselves.
We've been doing this together for a long time.
We thought, "What are we doing this for?"
If we can't get through this,
we thought we would split up.
We decided to overcome this because we didn't want that.
That's why we released a new album...
- and held a concert... - I agree with you.
You should do it for yourselves.
Your fans will like the performances...
you do for yourselves.
- It must be for yourselves. - To be honest,
I don't think we have fully recovered.
But if you could think that all the five of us are together,
when we perform on stage or sing our songs,
it would give us strength to go on.
We'll be able to enjoy our performances as well.
We wouldn't have been able to avoid talking about the incident here,
but just as Key said, we wanted to point out some things.
Also, even though we haven't fully recovered yet,
we're planning to work hard.
It would be great if you could just see us like that.
(SHINee will shine all together forever.)
(SHINee is still here as always.)
On our show today,
we...
had no choice but to talk about Jong Hyun.
- I understand. - But we had no intention of...
- Of course. - forcing you to tell us about it.
- Right. - I think...
it was enough to deliver what the four of you really felt.
I also believe that Jong Hyun is watching over you.
Tae Min has great affection for his group SHINee.
His goal for this year is all about SHINee.
- He became an ambitious man. - "All about SHINee"?
- He... - I do have affection for my group.
It's already been 10 years since our debut.
What happened made me think...
that we can work together...
even after working individually for a while.
I used to think that...
we wouldn't be able to work together like Shinhwa.
But now, I have a vague thought...
- Right. It's been 10 years. - that we will...
- work together like them. - That's right.
Why don't you two form a group named "Min Ho and Key"?
(Hesitating)
- But Key... - You could...
write the lyrics about how you two argue.
Don't you think it's a good idea?
- You two arguing... - Right.
- You two keep fighting in the song. - "Battle".
The song title should be "Battle".
- If we... - We never take each other's photo
(Is that supposed to be the lyrics?)
We would need separate waiting rooms if we work together.
That's right.
- I think so too. - You'll need separate rooms.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for SHINee who returned.
"The Song That Tells You SHINee Is Back".
All right. Shall we hear the song that SHINee chose?
(What song did SHINee choose?)
"An Encore".
It's SHINee's song.
(The song is about the hope for reunion.)
- "An Encore". - Why did you choose this song?
(Why did you select this song?)
(You tell them.)
- We discussed and decided together. - Yes.
Just like the lyrics of this song,
we hope...
the five of us will continue to...
work together to do a good job.
That's why we chose this song.
- Right. - Shall we hear the song?
- Shall we hear "An Encore"? - "An Encore".
"An Encore".
("An Encore" by SHINee)
(As if ink runs, it becomes clear every day)
(As if time went backwards)
(The memories are still clear in our minds.)
(I used to believe I could forget it if I cross the river of memories)
(But I have given up on the vain belief)
(And the vain hope)
(They worked together for 10 years for the same dream.)
(As long as our story)
(Our farewell left me with great emptiness)
(It felt so natural being together as five members.)
(There were times when we hurt each other)
(With harsh words instead of telling our honest feelings)
(Our song will last for a long time.)
(SHINee will shine forever with all the five of them.)
- Great. - That was amazing.
- Let's give them a hand. - Since the song...
is about the hope for reunion,
- they must've been emotional. - Of course.
It made our hair stand on end.
I focused on the lyrics.
Today's theme was "SHINee's Back".
How about you say a word to each other personally?
I tell them this quite often these days,
but I want to tell them I love them.
- Great. - I want to say I always love them.
Min Ho?
I'm grateful that we understood each other...
and were considerate of each other for the past 10 years.
Now, they're like my family.
So I hope we can get along well with each other like we do now.
I...
would like us to think about the days...
when we were immature as often as possible.
If...
we had had a choice...
when 6 or 7 years after our debut,
I'm not sure if we would be here together.
However, we got through the hard times together,
and it has been over 10 years.
But I just started to feel comfortable about this.
- I understand. - Yes.
Now, I feel more comfortable about it...
I didn't ask the other members for their consent to say this,
but actually, we renewed our contract.
- We wanted to work together... - Of course.
You just have to review the contract thoroughly.
- Yes. - So you renewed it?
Yes, we did.
So all of you will turn 30 as the group SHINee, right?
- That's right. - Right.
We were together in our 10s and 20s. We'll be together in our 30s too.
We started to co-host Radio Star when we were in our 30s, right?
- Yes, we were in our 30s. - Gook Jin was in his 40s.
- I was in my 40s too. - No, you weren't.
- Be quiet. - Why?
- I was 39 as it was 2007. - Right.
Why did you stop me while I was reminiscing old memories?
That's ridiculous.
- I said that because... - I can't believe him.
- Key isn't finished. - Is this "Kim Gook Jin Show"?
- Like I said... - Gosh. Seriously.
I mean... Hey. Jong Shin, don't you think so?
"Hey"?
- How dare you spoke rudely to me? - Aren't I right?
(Radio Star is peaceful as always.)
You didn't agree with each other in the end.
- Not just today. - We never agree with each other.
(It's easier if you accept it.)
Seeing how they are as a group,
it feels like I'm watching us.
(The combination of hosts is just like the guests.)
Tae Min.
- I hope we won't change. - I see.
As long as we can keep our bond strong,
whatever other people say, or whatever happens,
- Right. - we'll be okay.
You talked about Shinhwa several times, but...
Today's theme is "SHINee's Back".
I wish you'll always shine.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Exclaiming)
- Did you prepare the line? - I didn't expect this reaction.
- Dad, did you prepare the line? - I just came up with it now.
I didn't prepare the line.
It was the best pronunciation among all the English words you have said.
- "Fashion". "Thank you." - I hope you'll always shine.
Jong Hyun used to say this...
at the end of his radio show.
"Come to rest tomorrow again."
We'll root for you, so you can always be...
like a shelter for your fans.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
You've gone through a lot.
