It’s all about SHINee’s shining appearance Singapore here.

Dressed in their gothic punk “Ring Ding Dong” outfits, SHINee made their debut appearance to the Singapore media on a sunny Saturday morning, at Esplanade’s Theatre Main Foyer.

As journalists from various media platforms shot their questions to the “man” band wannabe – SHINee, and to other prominent Korean figures present (which includes Bobby Kim and Oh Joonsung), SHINee stands out at the shyest bunch. Most of the time, it was Onew and Minho speaking up, while the rest of the members sat there quietly with their heads hung low.

However, these pretty boys seemed to be a different group of people all together when teens snagged a short 10-minute “closed-door “interview with them after the media conference. They are actually a fun-loving boy band that loves to poke fun of each other in front of the media!

teens: What kind of shiny objects does SHINee like?
SHINee: Spotlight!

teens: It’s impressive that Onew ranks in the second place in his whole school during one of his high school year! You guys have to juggle with both your schoolwork and your career. How did you guys manage to do that? Care to share some study tips for our readers so that they could excel like Onew?
Onew : (giggles) Study tips? Eh…
Taemin, Minho, Jonghyun : (laughing in Onew’s face) Study tips!!!
Key : Due to our hectic schedule, we only could study during the wee hours of the night. Therefore, we make use of that time wisely and focus really hard while studying! Focusing is very important.

teens: I understand that SHINee has been living under the same roof for quite some time. Is there any member with interesting living habits?
Taemin : (points frantically to Jonghyun) Jonghyun, Jonghyun! He sleeps with his eyes open! He also puts his blanket all the way up to cover his face while sleeping!

teens: …and who’s the one who wakes up the earliest?
Jonghyun : (raises hand shyly)
Taemin, Key, Minho, Onew: Jonghyun!!!

teens: We heard that SHINee has to adhere to a strict diet whereby you guys can’t eat after 7PM. Is that true? Is that why you all are so skinny?
SHINee : Not true!
Key : It’s actually a personal rule I set to myself. But well, we are naturally skinny. Our body type is just like that.

teens: Will SHINee ever come back to Singapore for a full-fledged solo concert?
Onew : We can see that an opportunity may be coming, but so far, we have no specific dates yet.
teens: Any messages for your Singapore fans?
SHINee : We are so excited by the warm welcome we received at the airport, and if there’s any chance for us to comeback for a solo concert, we will make a point to come to Singapore. We really appreciate all the attention.
