Fun Facts :)
20 FACTS ABOUT JONGHYUN
1. Has been said that the first line of "Love like oxygen" sounds like Michael Jackson's style. "It does sound like it a bit.", he admits it himself, but Usher is still irreplaceable, definitely!
2. "Bling Bling Jonghyun", does it sound weird? He uses it all the time, be it during messaging or talking, he uses it. Because he loves R&B and Hip-hop too much, he wishes that he can shine forever (like bling bling). If you find it difficult to call that, "Hey Bling" can be used, thats what the members call him.
3. Will tend to talk at a really fast speed when he gets nervous, but because he talks a lot usually, nobody ever notices that habit of his.
4. There is no shortcut to achieving perfection, just hard work and more hard work, if he is unable to take it, he will hide in the toilet for a cry, and then continue to work even harder during practice.
5. Has a lot of charisma on stage, but is very endearing and fun to be with off stage, before debut, he chats with Taemin everyday when returning home, is the member who is the most unanimous with his relaxation and lifestyle.
6. "If I meet an alien, I will definitely be scared at first, but after awhile when I get to know it, I will consider how to send it back home."
7. Regardless of anything, no matter how many times he had performed on stage, whenever he hears his own song he will still get exceptionally excited, will lipsynch along, dance along, fidget around in his seat, even when he chokes on water he will still remain engrossed.
8. A very lively student in high school, able to digest English and Korean songs very well. Formed a band, composed music during that time, believes that if you truly like something, it is not difficult to persevere on.
9. Understands the importance of heath, so does not eat stuff like instant noodles even when he is very hungry. To practise on an empty stomach is definitely tough, but in comparison, won't it feel really good to finally eat a full meal during breakfast? -- After tolerating for so long, it's finally time to enjoy.
10. Is not scared of the camera at all, a 180 degree display or 360 degree all show? Just state it.
11. Feels that he is a good hyung, and a good dongsaeng to the members, if not for the fact that they always interrupt him which makes him flares up at them shouting "Keep quiet!" at times, his image is pretty perfect.
12. Makes total and absolute preparation for everything, will even stay up overnight without sleep to prepare. If his progress does not meet his own expectations, he will feel restless and a little short tempered.
13. Likes girls who seek novelty at times, is willing to accept the age gap of up to 6 years...What about 7 years?....8 years?
14. Why cover up if you make a mistake, just admit it truthfully won't it be good?
15. Taemin is very good, but too young. If he were to become a girl, it will be better to let Key be his boyfriend, setting aside the good personality, Key is very honest, which fits his view in life, refer to point 14.
16. Has a lot of notices, will show off to his members after returning to the dorm. Will also miss his members whom he don't know what they are doing while he is at certain shows/programs, if there is a chance, he will like to bring all his members along.
17. The only secret to maintaining a good complexion despite a very hectic schedule is to simply maintain a positive mindset.
18. Is very proficient in the guitar, bass and piano.
19. Wakes up the earliest in the dorm, will wake up Key after he is done with washing up, Key will then wake Onew up, then Taemin and lastly, Minho -- "I am the one who wakes up the earliest! I am most confident about it!"
20. "How do I wash the rice? Why doesn't Key umma know?! ...So you have to wash it like this, Taemin? Wow!"
Matters needing attention:
Rebellious: A common puberty failing, it's a phase that all teenagers will experience.
The X catalyst: Commanding orders, such as "You want me to do this?", "You have to settle this."
The O catalyst: Be more natural at it, as long as you don't make him feel suppressed, he will always come to you, and is willing to endure hardship gladly.

# Jong Hyun’s voice is amazing – with a husky tone but with so much power; theres no wonder he’s one of the brightest stars of Shinee. Through watching Shinee’s reality show, Jonghyun is the most romantic so most of you may fall for him for that.
# Following SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong, K.Will and 2AM’s Jo Kwon, SHINee member Jonghyun has now been diagnosed with swine flu!
# On the night of November 2nd 2009, Jonghyun had symptoms of a cold so he visited the hospital to get a check up. For precautionary measures he was given Tamiflu, but on November 3rd, he was declared positive with swine flu.---> before you other fans start panicking I found this article :)
(During the four days of Jonghyun’s absence due to his diagnosis of swine flu, the fans had to suffer the unbearable emptiness on the stage. Although his spot was filled with Super Junior’s Yesung, SHINee did not “shine” as brightly as when they were together. But no worries now! It seems like Jonghyun is finally free from the virus. It has been reported that Jonghyun is now fully recovered from the flu, but not quite to return back to his activities yet.
SM Entertainment stated,
“Jonghyun is fully recovered from the swine flu. However, his physical condition is still not the best, so we will have to see.” Jonghyun showed his strong desire to return on stage as well. Since he could not face the members himself because of the airborne H1N1 virus, he filmed a word of encouragement for his members and called each one of them before the performance. He also delivered a heartfelt apology for not being able to be with them. Now, that’s what I call friendship!)
# Has been said that the first line of “Love like oxygen” sounds like Michael Jackson’s style. “It does sound like it a bit.”, he admits it himself
# “Bling Bling Jonghyun”, He uses it all the time, be it during messaging or talking, he uses it. Because he loves R&B and Hip-hop too much, he wishes that he can shine forever (like bling bling). If you want it difficult to call that, “Hey Bling” can be used, thats what the members call him. ---> Lol when I'm talking to my friends I always call him Bling Bling
# He dislikes being called cute, he'd rather be manly :) ---> Hehe don't worry Jonghyun my friends and I call you sexy, hot and manly man but never cute :)
# Even though he has an amazing voice, he still looks up to many singers
# He doesn't know how to ride a bike
# In a car, he always sits in the back with Taemin :)
# He is the laziest member, he doesn't even help with tidying up..According to Minho ---> xD
# He prefers baby girls to boys :) ---> yay he's like me
# whenever key ask jonghyun something in the car,jjong never answer because he's sleeping with his eyes open and his arms crossed..in fact,key can never tell if jonghyun is sleeping or simply ignoring him ---> lol xD
# There is no shortcut to acheiving perfection, just hard work and more hard work, if he is unable to take it, he will hide in the toilet for a cry, and then continue to work even harder during practice.
# Has a lot of charisma on stage, but is very endearing and fun to be with off stage, before debut, he chats with Taemin everyday when returning home, is the member who is the most unanimous with his relaxation and lifestyle.

* if he need to choose a colour to represent key,he will choose silver..
# Music has always been a big factor in Jonghyun’s life. Even when he was a trainee, instead of going to class, he would head over to the SM building and practice all day.
# Due to their similar features, Jonghyun is known as one of the three "Dinosaur" siblings in the SM family along with F(x)’s Amber and Super Junior’s Donghae. Hence, this is where his nickname Dino/raptor originates from..
# Since he is the shortest member in SHINee he has what you might call a slight "Height Complex". But that doesn’t stop our Bling Bling from working out at the gym; the results of his hard work can be seen in their "Lucifer" MV. Of course, he can’t lose to Minho in everything! ---> lol I see nothing wrong with his height...especially when he has a body like that.
# One of the most important people in Jonghyun’s life is his older sister whom he loves very much. -----> awwwwww such a sweet younger brother :)
#To some people, Jonghyun might seem a bit cold at first, but that’s only because he takes a bit longer to warm up to others. When he does become close to someone, he holds onto them very dearly. ----> wow sounds like me
# Walking in the pathway to become a composer, he has stomped lyrics for "Juliette", "UP & DOWN", as well as "Obsession".
# Writing lyrics isn’t his only specialty as many are aware of his explosive vocals. He has been praised by well known and respected artists like Wheesung, 4men, Jung Yeop, Baek Ji Young and many others. As Jonghyun once said, "I sing with my soul".
# Although he may not look it, our puppy Jjong is a romanticist and a very emotional one at that. Dubu leader once mentioned that when Bling starts crying, he cries the whole day, remembering one emotional event after another. ---> Awwwww -hugs-
# Jjong is #1 in skinship and has an S-line body along with a sexy mole on his chest!
# A banana smoothie date is essential for this dino or he will suffer from "Onew sangtae".
# The word "embarrassing" comes to him when he dances to girl group songs unlike diva Key... --> XD
# Do not judge this dino by his height cos he can run at an amazing speed!
# Jonghyun has often named Shin Se Kyung as his ideal woman, while Shin Se Kyung chose SHINee as her favorite idol group on broadcast appearances.and now,The management agencies of the couple confirmed the relationship with Sports Seoul on October 26th
EXTRA
On KBS 2TV [Star Golden Bell] aired on the 21st, (Jonghyun) answered “Yes” in response to a question posted in a segment. During the segment, (Jonghyun) shows his contentment with his own looks and that “I carry myself with confidence”.
SHINee’s Jonghyun expressed that he is very satisfied with his own face. Jonghyun said “Rather than saying that my face is handsome looking, I will say that I have a face that is useful to do activities as part of an idol group.”
Jonghyun also added that “I think that within the group and comparing with Key, I am better.”
Which results in Key grumbling in displeasure... lol xD haha..i have watch it..key face looks like he wants to eat jonghyun~ haha..
And this happens during SHINee's fanparty in Taiwan on the 7th, they performed 10 songs, including solo songs from each member. "After his performance the fans were yelling encouraging words in Korean to him as well. Jonghyun immediately lowered his head and turned to the side taking a deep breath before saying thank you to the fans.
Afterthat, was the last song Hello. when he raised his head, the fans realised that he was crying. The fans started crying too. Minho was patting his shoulder and consoling him and the members were helping Jonghyun sing his parts because he was crying so hard. When he managed to sing a stanza in the middle, the whole place roared in support for him. at the end after the MC asked if he had anything to say, he gave the fans a deep 90 degrees bow."
Makes me so sad to see him cry ): They had banners that said, "Jonghyun, we'll stay by your side".

When he managed to sing a stanza in the middle, the whole place roared in support for him. at the end after the MC asked if he had anything to say, he gave the fans a deep 90 degrees bow."
Makes me so sad to see him cry ): They had banners that said, "Jonghyun, we'll stay by your side".

SHINee Jonghyun GQ Korea 10Men Interview
What type of person do you see yourself as?
Me? I don’t lie. Really. I’m objective. And I’m blood type AB.. (opens eyes wide) Why do you ask?
I was just asking. Do you watch your own performances objectively as well?
Um. I try not to watch them calculatedly. First off because the stage is created through practice, something about it is systematic in a general sense, so I think that I have to show myself enjoying it. If I think that it is so difficult right now, then I do it with difficulty. If I think that I really can’t do this, it all shows on my expression. I mainly monitor those things.
If there is something lacking about SHINee’s stages, I think that perhaps your lackingness is lacking. Maybe with the song and choreography, everything is too tightly fitted and dense.
I think I know what you’re saying. Naturalness is the most difficult point. I can’t help but feel burden each time I stand on stage.
On the flip side, you must have developed a sense of freedom and ease now as well? Does the song you hum day to day change with the weather?
The thing I think of most importantly, and so what I concentrate on polishing the most, is emotion. If the weather is like what it is today where it feels like the curtain is drawn, then I’m most true to that. But I forget quickly. It felt like this yesterday too but even if the situation is the same tomorrow it approaches with a fresh feel so there comes to be tens of thousands of expressions. Today I keep humming Wheesung hyung’s songs.
In order to do something precisely your schedule must be too crowded. It seems like you may sometimes feel that you’re trapped.
I am trapped. However it’s not like that every day. Today’s weather is the type I particularly like so I think I am feeling more this way. A bit melancholy. I resolve that ‘Today I should raise my spirits like this’ and seek liberation. I think a lot about my trainee days. Rather than missing it..
Time passes by fairly but ultimately it’s different for everyone. How have you changed since your trainee days?
I’ve walked the road I’ve wanted to ever since I was young. I did everything the way I wanted to. I joined a band, transferred to a music school from my high school, dropped out and received my GED, then debuted, I’ve lived the way I wanted to. I’ve walked the road the way I imagined it. I think I will continue to that in the future.
It seems like you have a life that just continues to flow. Do you like it?
I think that I’ve walked through it decently, but I don’t necessarily like it. I don’t like it.
Where does the difference start?
You know, it’s like this. If I only look at myself I can’t really tell but when I look at the person next to me I feel regretful. In a notable example, I didn’t feel disappointed at all not being able to take my high school graduation exams. But when Minho took his I suddenly felt sad. Like a fingernail’s worth? It could just be a minor feeling of complaint. Since I’m still young.
You’re still young?
Yes. That is really my shield. Saying that I’m still young, I do a lot of things I shouldn’t.
At a young age you have accomplished a lot. With “Lucifer,” what more do you want to accomplish?
I want to hear that these kids are really good. And I did hear that. We did hear that during “Juliette” as well, but “Lucifer” is much more difficult than “Juliette.” The performance in itself. I think that if it wasn’t us, it wouldn’t be doable. This is confidence. When we first received the song I thought, how will we do this? But as we practiced I saw that we were doing it. I think that as we do this, it’s how we grow.
As the team’s main vocal?
Um, I concentrated a lot on pronunciation. Not on whether the pronunciation is good or bad but on the issue of whether the pronunciation suites the song. Because I think that if I sing a song with a bit of a ‘rolling’ pronunciation and people go “What is this kid doing?” then I’ve sang it wrong. I sang “Replay” with that feeling and I heard that I did well and so I think I gained confidence. With “Love Like Oxygen” I felt a slight sense of burden. So I did go a little overboard but personally I liked that feel. If you listen to it a certain way isn’t it very funny? I sang the Korean lyrics with stresses and emphasis like in English. I wanted to give off the feel of Michael Jackson in that song. In “Ring Ding Dong” we went down to bass, a thick sound, I gave off a rough sound a lot. When we came to “Lucifer” I thought to throw that away, I wanted to lose that a bit and go with something more refreshing so I put in effort to do that but I don’t think that came across well.
In comparison to that sort of careful effort, isn’t SHINee’s boundary a bit confined?
Um, in regards to SHINee’s fandom I definitely have a greed for more. Though I don’t feel dissatisfaction or have a prejudice towards being an idol. My greed is the people who liked the music from before the year 2000. I mean that I want to receive recognition from the people who say that music nowadays isn’t even music.
What do you think about SHINee’s lyrics? There are times when I figure, oh, that’s just how it must be, but then I wonder, what does that mean?
That’s very difficult. I think that when mass appeal and artistry meet the very best music comes forth, but there’s a bit of a contradiction. It’s akin to liking hook songs but criticizing them at the same time. SHINee does commercial music. It is commercial music. It means that we have to do music that people listen to. As we do that we offer attractions and earn revenue. We have to make people hum along to our music. There is so much music, and the issue comes down to who will imprint it first. And with that momentum, to make people listen to it one more time, to make them look for it one more time.
That must mean that what’s important is if you can persuade people with it, whether it be a hook song or not. Whether it’s “butterfly butterfly” or “ring di gi di gi ding ding dong.” It’s the fate of singers to convince the listeners to accept it, thinking that it’s worth it. Even if you take the stage alone.
Yes. Even if I’m alone on stage I’m going to sing. If I’m in a really good mood I could sing “Let’s Ride a Horse” without accompanying music. If I feel like I could die from sadness then I could sing Wheesung’s “Hell.”
Don’t you have any impatience in regards to going solo?
I don’t have the greed to fill a song with my vocal. Because, I don’t know. For me particularly, when I listen to or make the music of the team called SHINee, I think that ultimately SHINee is me and I am SHINee.
Looking at it as an objective person, what kind of team is SHINee?
A fun team. I think we are a dynamic team. Rather than a feel of, they do well, they’re impressive, it’s like a “there isn’t a kid like this anywhere else” sort of feel? A team where five kids like that are gathered together? There are so many people who sing better than I do.
What do you want to steal and from whom?
Wheesung hyung’s sensitivity and emotion. It sometimes seems like he and I are similar in that respect, but he’s so much deeper. Also Naul shi’s vocalization, and Jungyeop hyung’s interpretation, if that could all be combined together…
You may become a monster.. Um, the meaning of being twenty years old to a man?
An age when you should do everything you want.
Do you do that?
I can’t. I can’t because I’m busy.
But, what does it mean to be busy. It’s not like you don’t have time to eat? Isn’t every person in the world busy nowadays?
Because it’s like that, that’s why people go crazy. For three months I exercised really diligently. I did so without skipping a single day. But after beginning promotions I couldn’t exercise even once for about a month and a half. About that much? Not just exercise, but composition, piano, harmonics study, I keep going, if only I had time for it all, and as I think that regret piles up. Because with my personality I’m the type to pester myself, so I’m living thinking that it’s destiny.
Right now at this point, what is the type of good music that SHINee could do?
Well. They’re quite at odds with each other. What I want to do and what SHINee has to do. I think it would be good if we did ballads.
Are you preparing?
For now I have to rest. It’s my own personal thought, but when you debut as a singer your skills don’t grow. Since you’re so busy your condition continues to go downwards, and because in that state you can’t practice as you hope for your throat to return you have to take a break, but your schedule doesn’t stop. And then when a period of empty space does come around, you set yourself to work hard to raise yourself back up a little bit again, it’s like that. I think right now is a period where I should rest.
You said your dream is to be a composer?
Yes, even now I’m writing songs. Alone at home. Recently I learned harmonics and a music program, it’s really like a new world. I thought of going to music school as the first turning point in my life. Lately as I compose songs I feel that it’s the second turning point. It’s much stronger than when I entered SM.
If I come to pay more attention to you while watching SHINee, why do you think that would that be?
Because I’m short? Or because there’s one guy who stands out like he can’t be seen.
Is that what you view your role to be?
Rather than that, I think that if you see me it’s due to the performance. I try to explode on stage. When energy that was bundled together overflows it explodes. I want to become like that. I hope that is the moment when people will remember me.
If you become that sort of person, people would have no choice but to watch. But I think that perhaps throughout the entire interview you’ve only said proper things.
I know. It’s the third year since SHINee’s debut but until now we haven’t had any rumors. Something has to explode for it to be fun.
Me? I don’t lie. Really. I’m objective. And I’m blood type AB.. (opens eyes wide) Why do you ask?
I was just asking. Do you watch your own performances objectively as well?
Um. I try not to watch them calculatedly.

SHINee Jonghyun Elle Girl Korea June 2011 Interview
He was unreservedly relaxed throughout the photoshoot. When he had an eye contact with me, he didn’t avoid it. My first impression of him was different. A born vocalist and emotional man who cries often on stage. I expected him to be shy, but he wasn’t.
“We have had photoshoots with a variety of concepts. The formal style with a shirt and tie is not very comfortable to me. I usually pose and act relaxed and loose.”
Jonghyun endured the first half of the year “patiently” because of his leg injury.
“We had our solo concert for the first time since our debut, but I couldn’t dance for most of the time. But we had lots of performances together at the later part of the concert, and special stage sets helped me slake my thirst somewhat.”
His tears before fans during their concerts in some Asian countries, including Japan, became a hot topic.
“I’m sensitive and easily moved to tears. Usually all our emotional rhythm goes “up” during performances. My emotion seems to become uncontrollable as all kinds of thoughts come to me. But I’m not crying because I am sad.”
How does Jonghyun think of his voice as a vocalist?
“Most vocalists don’t like their own voices very much. Some of them receive training to change their voices. But I can at least assure you I can make whoever listens to my singing recognize it like “Ah, this is SHINee Jonghyun” instantly. I think I have my own distinct color.”
Then, what song does Jonghyun like most amongst SHINee’s songs? He answers immediately:
“Actually, there are some unpublished songs I like. Yet ‘Noona Is So Pretty’ is the song I feel most attached to.”
I was curious about ‘Obsession,’ the song whose lyrics he participated in writing.
“When I was little, my mom didn’t give me pocket money if I didn’t write book reports, haha. Maybe because it’s become my habit, I feel relaxed when I am writing. I make notes of ideas and use them when I study writing lyrics.”
Jonghyun was serious throughout our Q&A about music. He was back to being lively when I asked an unexpected question.
“Three things I like most besides music? Well, I think I have nothing left with music excluded. Ah! I like animation with heroes and comics. And also exercise except for playing with a ball.”
Jonghyun was a very good speaker. He used every word precisely and made clear pronunciation carefully. It didn’t take him long to answer any question. Lastly, I asked him about the ‘identity of SHINee.’
“(Identity of) SHINee? SHINee is SHINee. What more is there to explain? To me, SHINee is like this: Going together all the way as we get older.”
“We have had photoshoots with a variety of concepts. The formal style with a shirt and tie is not very comfortable to me. I usually pose and act relaxed and loose.”
