▶ Blood Type: AB | ▶ Height: 173 cm | ▶ Weight: 56 kg

▶ Discovered: 2005 S.M. Casting System
Jonghyun was first discovered in 2005 by an SM Entertainment recruiter while performing at an outside venue with his High School band mates. Before he became a trainee, he used to be the bassist in his own High School band.
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. He has trained harmonization for 3 years. A "dino" who can play the bass, guitar, piano and is able to reach 4 octaves!
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 (especially next to Minho, LOL) 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!
One of the most important people in Jonghyun’s life is his older sister whom he loves very much. To some, 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.
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. ㅋ ㅋ
A talkative dino who is confident of his looks and understands the importance of health. 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.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Do not judge this dino by his height cos he can run at an amazing speed! Love him for who he is and you'll find him the most lovable dino on Earth! ♥
"Is this the reality you wanted?"

▶ Blood Type: B | ▶ Height: 177 cm | ▶ Weight: 59kg
▶ Hobby and Interests: Rap, Dance, Water - skiing, English, Chinese, Japanese
▶ Discovered: 2005 S.M. National Tour Audition Casting
Key auditioned for SM Entertainment in 2005 but unfortunately, he failed. But his dream of becoming a singer since childhood days didn’t allow him to stop there, he auditioned again in 2006 and during his 2nd try, only 2 people were to be accepted; he was one of them. His stage name comes from the fact that he loves to solve things. Key is the "triple-threat" in SHINee, he is gifted with skills in singing, rapping, & dancing hence his "Almighty" title. His personal talent is imitating other people and even a robotic character from a cartoon show, the classic line being "Woah! Money! With money anything can be done!!”. He’s also good at learning girl groups’ dance and learns it really quickly by just watching it several times.
He (sort of) cooks, does chores and loves to take care of other people. In SHINee, he’s known as Key umma. At first he was just Taemin's umma, after that his nagging extends to include all of the members, and now it is becoming that he nags at whoever he sees. As he’s becoming naggier and naggier, Taemin no longer calls him “umma” now (LOL). Key loves children and is good at playing with them. He always wants to get married soon so that he can has a children of his own.
Key takes good care of his belongings. He’s good at preparing and analyzing, belongs to the kind who is able to work out a plan from scratch with just a single detail. He really hates people touching/using his stuffs without permission. He had the habit of writing journal/diary since he was a child and is still doing it now.
He loves making friends with people around his ages. He and his 91-line (including some idols that were born in the year 1991 like 2AM's Jung Jinwoon, Beast's Son Dongwoon, Kara's Jung Nicole, After School's NANA, MBLAQ's Mir) are really close with each other. Key said there’s no 91-er amongst the idols that he doesn’t know.
Kibum has a love-hate relationship with horror movies and horror stories, he yearns for them but he is also scared of them, he likes them but he also dislikes them. He lost his composure/image in the cinema many times because of that, he is only able to rent horror movies/dramas to watch at home to continue scaring himself. Other members know about it and always try to scare him at the dorm by suddenly popping out from nowhere and shout at him. Key said he really hates whenever they do it. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Key’s a really honest/straight person. He once stated it in an interview “I can't say things I don't mean, say that I like things I hate, or hate things I like. And more than anything, I can't lie to myself". For instance, if a fan asks MinHo if she’s beautiful, MinHo will answer immediately “YES” without looking at her. With Key, he will look at her in like 10 seconds first and then consider his answer. Sometimes his honesty pissed off other people but if you know him well, you will understand that he just takes every aspect in life seriously and has a his own realistic way of seeing things.
He can be a bit more mature than kids at same age but can act really childish sometimes. Key’s a dog-lover, he has a dog back home named Coco. He also loves watching animation movies. If you have an intention of sending him a gift for his birthday, you should find something like a Sponge Bob with a size of human, or custom yourself in Mr. Potato outfits and jump into a gift box, or at least wrap your present with a wrapping paper that has one of these two things on it ㅋㅋㅋ
He’s also known as the group's fashionista. Red, white, blue, it is normal for him to carry off these colors, but for colors like pink and grass green which are more difficult to pull off, he is still able to do it. He loves colorful outfits and girls’ accessory, that’s why he prefers outfits during Juliette days the most. Key loves online shopping and spends lot of his money on it. It’s said that when they came back from Thailand after schedule, there were 2 big parcels waiting for him in front of the dorm.
Key loves cameras (in all means LOL). He loves taking photos of himself and other members. He has an instant camera (the cute little pink Polaroid) and brings it like everywhere he goes. Key has an instinct of spotting camera (camera-radar), fans call it "Keymera".
There’s also one more thing that you should know about Key which is his love towards his grandma. When he was a child, his father (working in banking & finance) was really busy and his mother was sick. He was raised by his grandma and really close to her since then. She’s always the one that gives him supports and also the first one that he asks for opinion in everything he does.

Minho is the "flower boy" sporting the flaming charismatic eyes that makes he’s co-members jealous “He is a living existence of selfishness”- Key .
He even modelled for Ha Sang Baek, Andre Kim and Lee Sang Bong. From being the tall skinny guy from Replay days, his MINABS and MINGUNS became popular to fans after showing it at the "LUCIFER" photo jacket.
He is sporty, though we may not have seen a SHINee Minho if he pursued his first dream being a soccer player, and very competitive. You will see his frustrated face whenever he loses at Dream Team and his signature move where he’ll place his finger on his lips then point it to the sky whenever he won.
This endearing boy loves kids and very popular to elementary students. Minho doesn’t only attract noonas and kids but as well as hyungs. He’s a certified "hyung collector/magnet", hanging out with SUJU, TVXQ and even staff hyungs, making him once rumoured as TVXQ Changmin’s Grilfriend (LOL).
Despite, he’s busy schedule he find time to go to Konkuk University where he’s majoring in Film. He rarely do “aegyo”, but once he does fans will swoon to their feet but not the other members. When ask to show his talent , he may do a wink, imitate squirtle or not blinking in 3 minutes. He loves eating ramen making him Taemin’s target to his famous “Ramen recipe” and kimbap. He’s very humble and down-to-earth. He’s not easily discouraged and continue to strive and prove himself. He once said that he’s motto is to never give up no matter what you encounter.

I. TAEMIN'S FUN FACTS
![taeminnnnnnn.jpg]()
This endearing cutiepie is awkward around strangers but after warming up to them, he'll be very talkative and loving ♥ !
Taeminnie would like people to call him manly and not cute because he wants to be up to par with his masculine hyungs. If he could eat only one thing for the rest of his life, it'd be beef steaks ^__^
Once, he confessed to Emma Watson, his ideal girl, on national broadcast ~ ♥ In addition, he LOVES Harry Potter ♥ Given opportunity, he'd love to be in an action flick with gunshooting involved! What gives him an adrenaline rush? Whilst his members answered being onstage, he said, "
When I watch horrors?"ㅋㅋ Taemin loves dogs and is a mama's boy! (;
Oddly enough, he was born in Seoul but enjoys speaking with a satoori (accent). He often talks to himself. Although dancing is in his blood, he prefers soothing ballads over popping beats. His favorite song from their recent album "Lucifer", is "Life".
He wants to have a date at Namsan Tower! The last time he teared was when he couldn't sing well but look at him now! (; He sincerely believes that success comes from hard work and looks up to Michael Jackson very much. He has a hand complex - he thinks his hands are short! XD Kibummie said he is very gullible and tricked him before. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
He wears rosary beads on his right wrist and loves God. When he puts on weight, it attacks his face first! He has always been skinny. Despite being young, he knows he has to sacrifice a lot in order to pursue his dreams!
