To Be Styled By Designer Ha Sang Baek

As reported yesterday, SM Entertainment’s new group Shinee is to lead this generation’s dance, music and fashion.

When it comes to the fashion department, SM has assigned fashion designer Ha Sang Baek to take charge. This is quite an exceptional case because it is rare for a fashion designer to do the styling of a singer, more so now that a famous designer is doing the styling of new singers.

It is planned that Shinee will be styled according to the latest trend called the “European Contemporary Look.” Clothes from Ha Sang Baek’s collection are also going to be used by Shinee.

Meanwhile, Shinee’s Minho walked the catwalk as the main model for Ha Sang Baek’s fashion shows in last March’s “Seoul Collection F/W 08-09″ and this May’s “2008/09 F/W Pret-a-Porter Busan.”

Contrary to what was reported yesterday, Shinee’s mini album is now going to be released on May 23.

SHINee, "After the first debut performance, cried heavy emotional tears in the backstage room"
May 28, 2008

After their first debut performance, SHINee shed emotional tears.

In a May 28 interview with Newsen, SHINee member JongHyun said, "After our first debut performance, to us those difficult minutes passed us by like a movie film," and "All those moments were dazed in my head."In the backstage room we were doing our individual interviews, and all of a sudden we thought of our parents and cried."

"It was very emotional. From then on, we vowed to continue to be more hard-working," and "I shed tears but the other members cried from their hearts," he recalls from their stage debut.

On May 22, their debut album title song "Noona Is So Pretty" was released to the public and on May 23, the album was officially released. SHINee had their first debut performance on May 25's SBS 'Inkigayo.' They are under 'idol birthplace' SM Entertainment and they caught attention as a band from their debut performance, to the eyes and ears of interested people and fans.

SHINee said, "In the backstage room while we were waiting our turn, we were trembling so much and our faces became very white."

"But in reality when we got up on the stage, we knew we had to move our bodies and mouths," and "After we got down from the stage, we didn't see how embarrassing it was on the monitor. On our first stage it seemed really bad," they said.

After the 'Inkigayo' first broadcasting, SHINee had a fan meeting. 'Inkigayo' is in SBS TungChon-Dong public hall, and at a neighborhood park they quickly prepared a fan meeting. SHINee experienced their popularity when they saw 800 fans.

"We are stunned to see so many fans come," and "We debuted at a very young age, so we met many noona fans. Different idol groups hear the sound of 'oppa,' but we heard many encouraging remarks like 'work hard, do well,'" they said with smiles on their faces.

SHINee is a band consisting of five male student members from ages 14~18: JongHyun, MinHo, TaeMin, ONew, and Key.

Bright SHINee has been prepared as a contemporary band concept, and their aspiration is to be a lead with their song and of course trends. All members have spent more than 3 years at SM and received intense high training to be the new group called 'SHINee.'

SHINee on when they were younger, and trainees.

On the 27th, Newsen conducted an interview with SM Entertainment's new contemporary boy band SHINee, in which the 5 members revealed their casting stories.

Tae Min (youngest 14): "I started dancing since 3rd grade. I always loved to dance and when I heard that SM Entertainment was holding auditions, I rushed to go try out. I was lucky and got casted. Even now, whenever I have time, I'm always watching dance videos to learn new moves."

Ohn Yoo (leader): "As soon as I entered high school, I felt that I really wanted to sing, I fell in love with music. People around me also kept telling me that I sing pretty well, so I decided that I wanted to become a singer and enlisted in the SM Academy. From there, I was casted and am now a part of SHINee."

Key: "When I was in Kindergarten, I chose "singer" as my future dream occupation. When SM Entertainment held auditions, I tried out."

Min Ho: "I was road casted by chance. Even as a child, I always loved preforming for others, so when I was casted by luck, I was extremely happy."

Jong Hyun: "Ever since middle school, I was actively involved in various bands and performed at many competitions to further my skills. Luckily, at one of the competitions, an SM Entertainment representative was watching and I got casted."

The SHINee members also stated, "When we first met and were under training, we didn't really talk much to each other. We were all very young and we even got into a couple fights with each other, but we think that's pretty normal for all trainees."
