Kara's Nicole & SHINee's Key sighted together !  Thought Jinwoon and Nicole had a thing? Not even. A couple of pictures taken by a netizen are spreading across the net like wildfire, claiming to be snapshots of KARA’s Nicole and SHINee’s Key walking together on the streets. Of course, they are in heavy disguise… or at least attempted to be. The netizen by the name of “GyuriDdaWoom (규리따움)” posted these mysterious pictures at a public blog under the title ‘Nicole and Key’. The poster included a subtitle explaining that the location was Apgujung-dong, and also assumed that Nicole was in the middle of a study session with Key as a textbook was in her hands. Even with the hats and masks, the netizen was clearly able to tell that the two were none other than Nicole and Key.  Although the pictures seem fishy, the netizens were rather dull in reaction. It turns out that Nicole and Key are known to be close friends, and the two being together in real life isn’t much of a surprise. Nicole herself once approved of her close friendship with Key on the last month’s episode of Strong Heart. Hm, Nicole plus Key… Nikey, anyone? Labels: Kara, Kara : News, Shinee, Shinee : News |

 Onew gets owned by the karaoke machine on Hello Baby ! On a recent filming session for KBS JOY’s SHINee’s Hello Baby, the boys plus their baby Yoo Geun hooked up their television to a fancy karaoke machine to hit up some of their favorite children’s songs. SHINee was also challenged to get the highest score and rating out of all. Team’s leader, Onew, however, seems to have focused on acting funny a bit too much while singing. Not only did he received the lowest score, but was advised by the machine, “You need a lot of work to become a singer.”  Labels: Shinee, Shinee : News |

SHINee’s Onew to be a musical star  SHINee’s leader Onew will join the list of idols-turned-musical-stars with his lead role of Joo-Bong in Brothers Were Brave from April 1st to June 20th in Coex Theaters. The musical, which was first opened in 2008, was critically acclaimed. It was based on two brothers that never got along, who went back to their hometown to find a hefty fortune in their father’s will. The two grow closer during their adventure. The younger sibling, which will be played by Onew, feels like he got the short end of the stick. He has a bit of a temper, but is a highly educated man, having graduated from Seoul University, known to be Korea’s best university. During their adventure, the two set their differences aside and eventually develop a strong brotherly relationship with one another. In his first musical, Onew will also be partaking in a kiss scene, surprising many people, but building even more anticipation. The production staff said, “Onew is doing a musical for the first time. Jessica of SNSD was very successful with Legally Blonde even though it was her first time as well. These days, the idols are very good in the fields of singing and dancing. Not only that, they try very hard at everything they do so I think he will do great.” SM Entertainment, Onew’s company, said, “After he got cast for this musical, he started practicing his singing, dancing and acting. He is working hard to bring a nice performance on stage.” Labels: Shinee, Shinee : News |

  Challenge between the Korean Flower Boybands! Korean boybands, Shinee and FT Island, both visited our shores last weekend and created a frenzy among the fans for the first time ever. How popular are they in Singapore? Let’s take a look at the figures below: Hundreds of fans fetching them at the airport, thousands gathered at heartland malls, imported albums completely sold out…… Let’s see who wins the challenge! Inset 1: SHINee Pronounced “Shiny”, a shining and dazzling boyband. They are also the juniors of Super Junior, Girls’ Generation and other popular Korean bands. Age between 17 to 20. Members were discovered at SM Entertainment audition castings. Able to dance, sing, rap and act. Inset 2: FT Island The name, FT Island, represents Five Treasures, with each of the 5 members being a treasure. Age between 18 to 20. Debuted in 2007 and released 3 full albums. An idol band with talents. 60 secs Q&A with the Media: What do you want to say to your Singapore fans? FT Island: We’re very thankful for their support. When we came to Singapore for the first time, we were very shocked to see so many fans waiting for us at the airport, even when it’s nearly 12am. SHINee: We’re really surprised to see so many people coming to support us. All of you are born in the 90s and are currently students. Between studies and singing career, which one will you choose? FT Island: (giving the same answer) Because it’s hard to cope with both, we’ve decided to focus on our career. We do not attend schools regularly anymore, but we do go for some language courses occasionally. SHINee: Sometimes our schedules are very packed, so we had no choice but to skip certain classes. If we have to make a choice…… (Members started discussing, but couldn’t come to a conclusion so the translator ended it off with “they each have their own choices”). Would you like to act in Korean dramas? FT Island: Our vocalist, Lee Hongki, was casted as “Jeremy” in the drama “You’re Beautiful” last year, and all of us were envious of him. However, we believe that Hongki’s participation in the drama helps to bring up the popularity of the band, increasing the exposure of FT Island. SHINee: If we have a chance to be casted, we’ll be glad to accept the role. We’ve seen some good examples earlier, like, SS501’s popularity went up because of Kim Hyunjoong’s participation in “Boys Over Flowers”. As idols, have you ever thought of dating? FT Island: (answered instantly) Yes! Though we do not have girlfriends now, but we do want to get one! SHINee: Have not thought about this before. Singing career has been our dream since young and we only want to work hard now, so we didn’t think have time to think of other things…… Please introduce yourselves to I-Weekly readers in short. FT Island: You have to see us for yourselves. SHINee: We’re a contemporary band (leading trends in pop music, fashion and dance)! I-Vote: SHINee vs FT Island (Wins!) FT Island debuted a year earlier than SHINee and they seem to be more experienced in handling questions from the reporter, while SHINee seems to be more shy; FT Island showing the real sides of themselves while SHINee seems to be careful; SHINee was safe guarded by many management crew members while FT Island seems to be more carefree and relaxed. FT Island wins this round! FT Island vs SHINee Airport Arrival FT Island: approx. 300 fans SHINee: approx. 400 fans No. of Visits to Singapore FT Island: 3 SHINee: 1 No. of Events FT Island: 2 (Fansign & Showcase) SHINee: 2 (Fansign & 2 Nights of Performance at The Esplanade) Fanclub Size FT Island: 1,000 pax SHINee: 5,000 pax I-Vote: SHINee (Wins!) vs FT Island SHINee’s popularity is overwhelming, considering their first visit to Singapore. There were lots of fans chasing them around wherever they go (including airport, hotel lobby, press conference, shopping malls……). FT Island has lots of supporters as well. However, since it’s already their 3rd visit here, they’re no longer new to the fans. SHINee wins this round!
