2012-03-25T03:25:00.001-07:00

After releasing their 4th mini album “Sherlock” and successfully making their comeback with their title track on Korean music shows, SMTOWN revealed a video on their official Youtube for a SHINee cover contest.

The “Sherlock Cover Contest” will enable fans to take part in either a singing cover or a dance cover of SHINee’s latest song, where they can win some great prizes from the members of SHINee.

Everysing, the website that is hosting the contest, will give fans until April 13th to submit their video recordings of their performance of SHINee’s “Sherlock”. There will also be an option for participants to take part in a free style genre where you can include your own improvisations for the song or dance.

Prizes include SHINee’s stage accessories, framed signed “Sherlock” mini albums and coupons to spend on SHINee goods. To apply and take part, you can find more information and apply on the official page for the “Sherlock Cover Contest” on Everysing or by downloading the official Everysing application onto your smart phone.

At the same time, SHINee is also set to release another Korean full length album after their Arena tour in Japan. Their previous full length album “Lucifer” was released on July 19th in 2010, where they promoted the title track “Lucifer”.

SHINee will continue promoting their 4th mini album on Korean music shows for the next 4 weeks, after which they will return to Japan to start their arena tour on the 25th April starting in Fukuoka.

The promotional video for the “Sherlock Cover Contest” with English subtitles can be viewed below.

SHINee’s MR-removed performance of “Sherlock” awes netizens

SHINee‘s always been known for their complex dance moves and impeccable live skills, so it should come to no surprise that the boys are back again with another flawless round of performances!
A video of their MR-removed performance of “Sherlock” on the March 23rd episode of KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘ has been making its round on the internet, attracting attention everywhere for its display of the boys’ live skills. Despite their powerful dance moves, the boys don’t waiver once, carrying on as if they were made to dance and sing.
The video is a clear indication of the amount the boys have improved with each new comeback, leading netizens to comment, “They must’ve practiced a lot,” “SHINee still stands strong even with MR removed,” and “It’s amazing that they can still sing at that level while dancing.”

[Trans] SHINee - Ceci Magazine Interview

2012-03-18T19:13:00.002-07:00

Constantly labelled as noona’s “National maknae”, Taemin is going to turn 20 soon. Now we cannot call them as teenagers, but instead, relate to them as “young adults” SHINee. It is fated for a fan to watch their idols grow. Being the first to unleash the inner sasaeng (S/N : obsessive crazy fans) within Korean noonas..(I am faced) with this urge. We have witnessed their absence in the past 1 year and 6 months and they have finally decided to do a comeback with their new album “Sherlock”. They are no longer the teenagers that shine like the spring sunbeams, but they have now evolved into man that can stir the seas. At the shooting set, they were filled with energy, beauty (charisma), just like same-aged young adults.

ONEW

The song that made SHINee mature

“Juliette”, “Noona you’re so Pretty”, “Love Like Oxygen”. In “Juliette”, SHINee has started to reveal their characteristics. Bit by bit, their appearance have also started to change as they move on to the 20-era. (Laughs) With this song, we have found a performance that is well-suited for our age. As SHINee, we will do our very best, and we hope everyone will not have bad thoughts and view us as what we are. (S/N : It is difficult to find an appropriate translation for this - somewhere along the lines to ask everyone not to believe in rumours and believe SHINee as what they are)

20-era for SHINee

Because he was currently putting on make up so he just blabbered. His eyebrows gradually darkened. (S/N : ..as he was applying make-up) As we have performed many stages and have gathered numerous experience as we hold concerts in the past 1 year and 6 months, the activities we will be carrying out will probably be more interesting this year.

Paris and London

In the past, I only appreciate their music. But the unimaginable is that they have started to like us - this is sort of a reversal situation. “So KPOP could actually receive so much love from such a faraway land; So we can actually present our performance at such places” and gradually became conceited (S/N : I have not changed the meaning or the connotation of the word). Actually I do not have a good personality (laughs) I am a person who enjoys serenity. I am those that will flare up when people beside me are noisy when I try to concentrate - but I will not be bothered (about the noise) on other occasions; just only sensitive when I am singing..

Dream stage

Ancient Rome Colosseum. How does it feel to sing at a place where sword fights are held?

JONGHYUN

“Sherlock“‘s Stage

(I am) Guessing that the initial reaction (from the audience) would be that it is “very powerful”. This is not solely contributed by the music, but also by the entire choreography which will fill the entire stage, hence I find it very meaningful.

Japan Debut
Not long ago, we have released our official first full album in Japan. It is really interesting to do a Japanese cover of all the songs we have sung across the span of 4 years. We hope everyone will give a listen to “Start”, “To Your Heart” etc that were only recorded in our Japanese full album. The music itself is really clear and bright, you will experience a refreshing feeling (from it).

SHINee’s News in 2011

We have a lot of overseas schedules. We went to Europe, Asia, America and even Russia. My deepest impression would be our performance in London at England’s Abbey Road Studio. I am really happy that we can perform at the sacred place of Pop music. In addition it is really interesting to promote our Japanese debut there. However it was a pity that I fell sick then.

Growing Pains
Whenever we have a new choreography, practicing for our live performance, there will be always this feeling/ thought that “Is this possible? Really?”. “Lucifer” was like this, “Juliette” was also like this. We have always “collided” (faced) with impossible tasks. We slowly grew from obstacles and conflicts. It is the same for this time - we will start out confidently (for this practice); the song also requires us to do that.

KEY

Impactful experimentation
In order to create a larger anticipation after this album, we have yet to use (props/techniques) that we are still reluctant to use (S/N : meaning that they still have many tricks up their sleeves to create more anticipation in the future). “Sherlock” indeed embodies the meaning/ feeling of an “impactful experimentation”.

Discussing about “Popular” things/ Popularity

What popular singers do, I label them as popular music. So I find the comment “Why is that Singer not popular” inappropriate. On the contrary, “rather popular” will allow everyone to be mistaken that everyone is similar. The music industry is recently aiming for the same thing, to see who does it better - like a competition. Everyone seeks to find the most popular composer, to work with the most popular stylists, to get their hair done at the most popular hair saloon. Compared to those who lack an individualistic colour to gain popularity, I feel that that we are succeeding by slowly reaching / achieving our unique qualities.

Taemin’s 20 years old

There is no longer a sense of familiarity. We always bear the feeling that we know one another just like how we met one another for the first time, however people around us kept saying that (Taemin is) 20 years old already. I met Taemin when he was in 6-grader while I was in Middle School 2nd Year - and it was not easy to watch one another growing up to an adult.

(S/N : Haha Key talks about Taemin like a mum talking about her heartache watching her child grow into a teenager )

SHINee’s 20-era

If only we could live like Peter Pan. (We want) to work hard with what we have now because we were learning when we were in the 10-era. It feels like we have done everything in the opposite order. We have started working in the society when we were in 10-era, now we have probably understood what to do and what not to do. After this, we are only left with “relaxation”!

Comeback

I wish to meet (same-age) friends like those in KARA and BEAST when we attend music shows, however there are only hoobaes (Juniors) left if we appear on TV now. How?/ What to do? I am not quite used to hoobaes greeting us. (laughs)

The current Me

..Is doing very well. I am living happily, working very hard too. It is not saying that I am going through a different experience from everyone, it is just that I am really touched that I am able to work hard to achieve what I want to do. I have never regretted my decision.

MINHO

Sherlock

Our title track “Sherlock” is a by-product of amalgamating 2 different songs - this is an avant-garde method. Of course, the two other songs will also be recorded int he album. This album is a special one that will encompass this kind of fun experimentation.

Practice Status

It is a dance that will make (me/us *ambiguous*) go weak/exhausted after dancing once or twice. Actually, we are filming our MV tomorrow, so I am very worried because we have to dance continuously for hours. In order to film charismatically, we have to do it even though (I am /we are *ambiguous*) tired.

Salamander Guru and the Shadow Operation Team

Oh Dalsu, Lee Byung-Joon etc Sunbae, my acting life is as long as my personal life, I have learnt many things by collaborating with them. They will also guide me. When I was filming with Oh Dalsu, if I felt that I have done badly for a particular scene, he will immediately notify the director to re-do the scene, I really thank them!

Four Years

In my impression, during my debut I was was afraid of the reactions I will get from my actions and words. Now I am gaining familiarity through shows and performances, so everything comes to me naturally recently, allowing me to showcase more of my original self.

TAEMIN

20 Years Old

I have now reached a stage whereby I want to take care of myself well. Hoobaes (Juniors) are slowly increasing in numbers now, so I have to be a good role model for them. It feels really refereshing whenever I meet hoobaes at broadcasting stations.

For 10s singers

When I was young, I also have the thought that “Will I ever be able be prepared personally to debut?” Do not remain at what you are right now, stand out and present yourself. I hope everyone can reflect on this earnestly.

Immortal Song 2

It is pressurising yet there is a sense of nervousness. Because originally, there are have already been so many great singers performng, however, since it was a good opportunity to present the “new” me in front of a great audience I happily agreed to participate even though it was really tough/tiring. If you want me to chose my best performance, it will be Kim Gun Mo’s soonbae’s “Wrongful Meeting” performance.

20s SHINee

Upon reaching 20-years old, I feel that the I am closer to my hyungs (other SHINee members). Even though it may only be a 3 years difference, there is still a generation gap between 10s and 20s. Since I am now in the 20s, we can exchange our thoughts more easily and freely.

20 years old fantasy

I wish to do what underage teenagers could not do. Even though there is already a plan to learn drinking from hyungs, however it has not been carried out yet.

Taemin’s view point

Key-hyung is very methodical - his following day will always be filled up with plans/schedules. Onew-hyung always sleeps in the morning. Minho-hyung exercises frequently, very active. Jonghyun-hyung immersed himself in the gym recently. As for myself? I am still lost (laughs)

[info] How to Purchase SHINee’s 4th Mini Album Sherlock

2012-03-15T19:50:00.001-07:00

Hi guys, now pre-order has started for SHINee’s 4th mini album Sherlock. There have been different words about when is the best time to buy the album, the 1st week or the 2nd week. Someone suggested fans buy it in the 2nd week to make sure SHINee’s win. Well, the best will be to buy it in the 1st week and in the following weeks again and again -,-;; but this will be too much for international fans. So many k-shawols think i-shawols should pre-order it now, so the sales record will be reflected in the 1st week.
You all know SHINee will have their 1st comeback stage at Mnet M-Countdown. Many expected it to be through Music Bank, but according to the official homepage, SHINee will make their first performance of Shirlock at Mnet. Let’s just hope SHINee will perform 3 songs in full–Clue, Note, and Sherlock!
One bad news is Music Bank is going to be skipped Apr. 6 for a Korean Wave concert to be broadcast. SHINee is also scheduled to participate in a kpop concert to be held in Bangkok on Apr. 7. Usually groups have the best chance to win in their second week. Music Bank has changed how to add up points for deciding the winner: album sales (5%) + digital sales (65%) + broadcasting points (20%) + viewers’ preference (10%). As you can see, the percentage of digital sales and broadcasting points is overwhelmingly high. 2 am and CN Blue are groups whose digital sales are stronger. And 2am is already recording for lots of TV programs and likely to make a record in their broadcasting points. And their fans are planning to buy albums through bulk order in the 2nd week. Yup, competition is pretty tough.
Here’s a summary of sites where you can buy the album. It is made by paprii at Soompi SHINee Thread
To see the summary, ClickHanteo is one of the top album sales monitoring charts in Korea; with updates on daily, weekly and monthly sales. Although a huge number of stores reflect hanteo sales, not all stores are included. Hanteo sales is what counts for the weekly music show award wins. GAON chart however gives a yearly sales number for the total number of albums sold (including those that may not have reflected on Hanteo chart. For yearly award shows like the Golden Disk awards, GAON sales numbers are very important. For more info click here).
* Sales towards Hanteo will only count if the CD/album was bought from a Korean store which provides data to Hanteo. So for instance, if you buy an album from a store in your country, this won’t count towards the real time Hanteo sales.
The following list comprises of some of the popular online stores that reflect your purchase/pre-orders on Hanteo/Gaon charts (from what they claim). The list below was assembled to help international fans.
1) Synnara e-shop (recommended)
This is a Korean site. However they do take orders from international fans. Synnara is also a huge contributor to hanteo real time data. So basically, if you buy from here, it may be the best option since other sellers buy from synnara anyway.
HOW TO ORDER ON SYNNARA: http://img189.images…nnarahowto3.jpg
2) DVDheaven
This site says sales reflect on hanteo’s real time chart. If their claims are true, then buying from this site can help weekly sales (reference).
3) Ebay
seller –> grapemusiccd
*when you buy from Ebay, buy from sellers located in Korea, ones who buy directly from Korean stores.
4) KPOPTOWN:
This site is based in Korea and their sales reflects on Hanteo chart or so they claim.
5) YesAsia
This website will give you free shipping if your total purchase amounts to $39USD or over. YesAsia reflects on GAON charts (reference)
Other popular online sites that do not accompany international fans/English speakers: yes24 and leesmusic
[compiled by : paprii @ soompi http://www.soompi.com/forums/topic/375931-how-to-support-shinee-on-hanteogaon-charts/]
*k-shawols are recommending synnara as the best site cuz the sales there can be doubly reflected. If you can afford it, use this site to pre-order the album.
SHINee’s Sherlock is a mini-album, but with 7 songs it can be nominated for Golden Disk Awards at the end of the year. If you buy the album through other sites, it will be reflected on Gaon Chart, another ranking chart based on shipments, not on real time sales like Hanteo. So it is still meaningful to buy the album.
For digital version downloads, Melon is the most counted site. It was blocked to international fans before, and I’m not not sure about its current accessibility. But I still think buying Sherlock through i-tunes is a good idea. Nowadays, people notice it if a kpop album is ranked high at i-tunes. And I bet more money will go to SHINee through i-tunes than through Korean online music stores notorious for their bloodsucking ratio for artists. Anyway, if you have a better idea about this, please let me know.
Fighting~

[news] SHINee’s Sherlock, Hybrid Remix of Two Songs

2012-03-12T22:53:00.002-07:00

SHINee’s comeback song Sherlock is expected to be a hot issue for its unique experiment.
Sherlock, the title song of SHINee’s 4th mini album is the decisive edition of the so-called hybrid remix, which mixes two independent songs into a new song. It will present a unique charm by making one feel like watching a musical and reveal the distinctive music color of SHINee, a contemporary band recognized for its fresh and experimental music and performances.
Especially, the lyrics will tell the story of Sherlock who solves a criminal case by combining the methods of reasoning clues, ‘Clue,’ and of emotional intuition, ‘Note.’ Thus the song will have a feel of smart charm by connecting the lyrics of the two different songs exquisitely into a piece.
The album is expected to receive explosive responses from music fans by including the two songs, ‘Clue’ and ‘Note,’ and thus providing the fun of comparing Sherlock, a hybrid remix, with the original versions of the two songs, whose lyrics and melody are different from the remix.

Please read if you want to help SHINee win with sales!

2012-03-12T22:52:00.001-07:00

ATTENTION~~~!
“I know this is long but please read through it! Thank you! ^^

We’re up against big names like Bigbang, Shinhwa for the comeback. If we really want SHINee to win (every week) please contribute to digital sales like Soribada, Ollehmusic, Melon, Mnet, Bugs etc or to buy the physical albums that count into the Hanteo chart.

Not to mention we have other ‘competitors’ like 2AM, CNBLUE B1A4 who are also in the march comeback.

Please spread out the sales evenly. If you wish to buy alot of albums, please do not buy all at one ago during the first week.

We need consisent sales every week for them to win. And digital sales count more than albums sales in music shows if I didn’t remember wrongly.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FROM ITUNES it does not count into the charts. I heard GMARKET and YESASIA’s sales count in the charts, but safest is those korean sites I mentioned above.

And if you happen to be in korea during their comeback, do not buy their albums from SM’s shop everysing, I heard it is not counted in the chart too. (Please correct me if this piece of information is wrong. Thanks)

If you are not sure about buying the songs/album online, you can stream it online instead! Streaming counts towards the charts.

For streaming wise, we can opt for soribada KOREAN site and SBS, for SBS streaming it is included in Take 7 so please create an account and stream!

For soribada, there is english version and the korea soribada site. For the english website, it only takes into account the purchasing (which means downloads of the album/song), for the streams to count into the charts, please visit the korean soribada site.

A soribada stream guide that I found online: http://bit.ly/xss028 (And pls rmb to logout before 2300 KST if not your streaming for the day will not count!!!)

If you would like to contribute to digital sales at soribada, you can visit: http://kpop.soribada.com/En/

For the purchase and downloads of the album or title song, it will only be counted for the first time in you download it. Subsequents downloads/purchase will not be considered in the charts.

For Mnet, it will only be counted in the charts if you download the songs/album, downloads are also only considered for the first time for every ID. Streaming at MNET does not count into the charts.

For Melons, Bugs and Dosirak, you’ll need to register for an account but I’m not too sure about the registration proccess + payment wise thus I would recommend to stream and buy from Soribada. :)

Other than contributing to online and physical sales, we can only search 샤이니 and also sherlock (or the korean characters of sherlock? idk it’ll have to depend on the title song + if sm has korean name for this album or not) at the major search engines in korea like naver, nate, daum etc to help them ‘gain points’, it will also be considered in the chart.

But please only search when it is during their comeback stages or promotion week ^^

And I know there are blogshops supplying or selling autographed sherlock albums. I’m not aware if it contributes to the charts, but let’s not be greedy for autographed albums alright? (sorry to say but you can’t be sure of the authenticity of the signatures too!)

SHINee hwaiting! Sherlock daebak! Shawols hwaiting!!!! SHINeeISBACK. ♥♥♥♥♥

P.S: I apologise for any typos in this twitlonger :p Please correct me if any of the above information is incorrect. Lastly, sorry for mentioning other bands in this twitlonger, its purely FYI.”

by MrTuxedo

Kara‘s Seungyeon and Jewelry‘s Eunjung will be making a cameo appearance on SBS’ sitcom, “Salamander Guru“!
Seungyeon will be playing a character whose name also happens to be Seungyeon. On this particular episode, Seungyeon will get dumped by her boyfriend, Chan Woo, who forms another relationship with Ji Min (played by Eunjung) right after the break up. After realizing the bitter truth, Seungyeon visits the Salamander Guru’s shop to receive aid.
Seungyeon teams up with Won Sam and Min Hyuk (played by Minho) to change Chan Woo’s mind, and reform the lost relationship. Min Hyuk pretends to be Seungyeon’s boyfriend in order to make Chan Woo jealous, hoping that this will cause Chan Woo to pay more attention to Seungyeon.
Furthermore, Min Hyuk slowly falls in love with Seungyeon who just happens to look very similar to his first love.
