(Additional Questions) What is your source of energy? The affection from my parents. When I returned home for chuseok, I painfully realize that my parents wanted to eat rice with their son. Since I'm the only child.I still felt the "love" that kept them watching over me. So when I drive around my parents, I've been taking videos with my phone.

How do you exactly describe your personality in one word? "Grandpa"....Not exactly, but a tough guy, maybe a "Father?" It's not something I care about, I don't care at all. You get angry when friends do bad things, Sometimes I poke their fore heads (laughs) and talk properly with them. "Don't you think you should stop?" but I apologize if I make mistake. If they say "Why being bad? You're being worse!" then I honestly say "Ah, really, I'm sorry!" (laughs)

How do the SHINee members call you? Key calls me "old man" It's atttached to a kindness and affection, but before, I was called "nuruguni"* This is a negavtive nuance like "The elderly" (laughs) but that's just a joke from Key. He usually says "Jinki-hyung" or just "Hyung" Taemin calls me "Onew hyung" (*This is how it was written in katakana, I have no idea how it's written in hangul I'm sorry~)

😺 SeeK Magazine Vol.015

All about himself, about SHINee. We talk about Key's thoughts.

About KEY: Key: The difference between "SHINee Key" and the "Key in solo" activity, for example, "KEYLAND" is quite different from SHINee's live. But if I say Key as solo, then this Key is not with SHINee. That's why I think it's necessary to change my image so much when I'm performing solo. By all means, Key is a member of SHINee, so when choosing a song, I never worried about what to do if it sounds like SHINee music, I would think it sounds good instead because I am SHINee. Rather than trying to make a huge difference, I feel like I'm doing solo activities as Key From SHNee. When I'm asked what am I like in the group... Hm, I can't express in words so easily... I don't really know but something "Key-ish" there are definitely things that suits me. I think everyone felt it was "KEYLAND" which I worked hard with the staff and there was a moment when I thought I couldn’t see the "Key-ish" things because we worked hard together but I couldn't explain the reason why it was clear.

About SHINee: Key: What is "SHINee-ish"? Hm, This is really difficult. I think there are only 5 energies or aura from 5 members, so I think everyone likes it. I was in charge of the costumes on the tour, but when it comes to the idols, they probably wear similar outfit and similar colors at concerts but I think SHINee is a team that suits different costumes falling apart. That means that each person is strong. So I dared to choose clothes that we don't usually wear on stage. Our image of wearing unusual outfits is getting stranger So, on the contrary, I want to wear a uniform-like outfit someday. It sounds funny, It doesn't seem so "SHINee-ish" (laughs) What if I work as producer for SHINee? I want to sing “English” songs in the current global age. I guess they all would say "No" (laughs)

About STAGE: Key: I think that fans who like SHINee and me will definitely come to the concert but I have a clear feeling of wanting the audience to have more fun than what I do. I want the ones who come to see me/us to say "Oh, It was fun!" when it's over. That's why I don't just sing the songs I like but I want to create a set of list and performance that considers how much fun that fans can have. When I went to a concert by a different artist, I felt that something was wasted, I wanted that song to be sung in the original, or maybe it was a bit long. I know to some extent how I react to it because I feel like that. Also, since I started to experience musicals and acting, I started to go to see other people's concert, musicals and stages, and watched the timing of lighting and music carefully. In the past, I only thought about singing and dancing and that lighting and music was the job of others but five or six years ago, my consciousness was gradually changing and I realize the importance of rehearsals.

About CONTENTS: Key: People often say "Key is skillful" but I think a coincidence. Because rather than looking for a job myself, I receive a job after and I just guess it's success or not. That's why I always try to do it first and then decide whether or not to continue that work. The same for acting. I know that I'm dexterous and complete (laugh) but I released an album, went on variety shows and released an album as SHINee. You all look at me like an entertainer who is working hard on all sort of things. In today's era, doesn't everyone watch TV a lot? So, if possible, I’ll word hard to be active in many contents I think you'd like to see.

About SNS: Key: Even if I do concert that I think is perfect, some people will be happy and some will dislike t but I just want to focus on making good things, I don't check opinions and reactions on SNS very much. On the other hand, I check a lot on SNS for things that can be used on the stage, what is popular, what to talk about in MC, what is funny, and so on. Always check out Japanese culture and trends when I have concerts in Japan. That is the most difficult. In th past, other people couldn't understand unless they were introduced to me as "This person is good at-" but SNS can tell you what you like and what you are good at. SNS of the present age is convenient because there is a lot of contents. I want to show on SNS the Key who people don't know on variety or on the stage. There are so many wasteful mages of me that I can't tell about on TV (laughs) For example, I cant say "I like this" on clothes on the show, but I can write about it on SNS. Also about cooking and dogs. Well, I think all fans know about it. Sometimes I put a lifestyle, but from my account I'm mostly uploading content that will let them know what kind of person I am.

About FUTURE: Key: What I want to do in the future - You might think it's fashion but I'm already doing a lot of fashion challenges myself. So fashion is enough for myself. If possible I'd like to study someday and produce somebody's album after growing up. When I think why isn't it it my album, I'm weak on myself, but I often get to know about other people's romance issues or worries. In such case, since you have such an image, you know if this is good or if you think it would be good, I think that the production of ther people is better. I hope I can do it someday. People say I'm "Almighty Key" but I don't think there 's anything perfect in me. When I start something, I often start with my feelings and concentration but I can't do one thing for a long time, I get tired. That's why my “English” is not perfect and my “Japanese” is not perfect either. From now on, I want to make something perfect.

Taemin’s Emotions We tried to cut "Inside the Heart" of human Taemin in four directions* (It says "four directions" because the interview is based on these Kanjis:喜怒悲楽, Together, they form from the word "[(human) emotion] but apart each one of them has meaning: (喜)Joy, (怒)Anger, (悲)Sorrow, (楽)Pleasure.

In the past year, Taemin has grown a a lot as an artist as well as a human, This time, we listened to him about the four feelings of joy-anger-sorrow-pleasure. He told everything without hiding, "For everyone of SHINee WORLD J"

PLEASURE: Taemin: Recently, there is a solo activity different from SHINee, SuperM and I am delighted with both. During, SHINee's activities, When it's getting harder, When I think my body strength is gone, I look at the members, When I do that, I will feel the atmosphere and energy of everyone and feel that we are cooperating with each other. It's amazing to work in the US with SuperM and I was so happy when we were able to get the first pace on Billboard and get the results. With SuperM, I tried a new dance style that I had never done. It's a bit "Macho" or a dance that feels power and at first I though it wouldn't match my body but now I think that when I tried it, It was surprisingly good for me (laughs) although it was difficult. I've been experimenting with a lot of genres and new dances so far, so I'm glad I got that kind f experience and I'd like to try various things in the future. When as "Solo"..Of course, It's the same for a group but it's the most wonderful moment to see the happy expressions and smiles of the fans on the stage. In the past, If I made a small mistake, I would become sensitive enough to be stressed about it but recently such things have been reduced. I've learned to make adjustments so I don't mind if I make small mistake, so I'm happy to grow on this part. The moment I feel Joy in my daily life is when I can eat what I decided as the menu because I really like eating. In fact, It's hard to start a diet but the bets time is to eat the menu of my own choice without worrying about diet. Especially recently, I'm into cakes, before I didn't really like cakes because the cream felt "Oily" but I started to like "Sweets" and "Fatty" foods and I started to like cakes (laugh) I eat once a week. I found a shop where the cake is very delicious and the "Oreo-flavored" cake there is delicious ♡ I also like "Mile-feuille" and there are plenty of tastes so I'm looking forward to it. During, this time, when I ordered at the store, they always thought I was buying it for someone's birthday and asked "Do you need candles?" but I eat it myself (laughs) I always buy whole cakes instead of slices. I eat everything about two days. It's a little hard, what should I do~ (laughs) 

SORROW: Taemin: It's sad when I'm alone. I was always with the members, Family and staff, So when I started living alone I couldn't stand it and started to hate loneliness but when you live alone, It's inevitable to feel such loneliness, So in order to distract from the loneliness I go to sleep watching "Youtube" Videos and Movies (laughs) I'm lonely living alone but I'm glad I did it. When I was living with my family, I wanted to express my emotions but sometimes I had to put up with it. It was stressful and frustrating, It was absolutely necessary for me to stand some time alone and It's better to feel lonely, So the current environment is better. When I can't stand it, I contact my friends. In fact, Just the most sad thing happened recently, I greeted my manger's daughter because she came to play, before, she was happy to hug me, but today she cried...It's so sad to just talk like this... In the previous shoot, I tried to express "Sorrowing" with a "Sexy" feeling, but recently it's often said that it's "Sexy" huhuhu(laughs) In the past it was pretty embarrassing but now it's kind of like "Eh? is that so?" the feeling of acting such ax expression rather than being conscious of my self. I usually smile a lot so I think it looks like a gap. Of course, I think it's important to have "Sexy" emotions but I'm the type to think and express. In both Japan and Korea, there are so many request to be sexy in shootings so I found out that if I pulled an ability to convey emotions with my eyes, It looked sexy and I practice a little (laugh) Recently, I have so many sexy song but it will be a little dangerous if I exceed "Slave" (laughs)

ANGER: Taemin: I feel angry or disappointed recently, but I don't have such feeling, really, Oh, but there was a frustrating moment. At "Year-end" and "New Year" concert and the second performance in Yokohama, My throat was'nt good. I wanted to show a nice performance to everyone in Japanesel because there were so many songs but I felt sorry that I didn't do it well. I feel that I wasn't doing very wel and I was sorry, because definitely there were people who watched the concert only that day. It's frustrating to imagine that you might be disappointed at me once you saw that one thing couldn't do properly, After all, I want to show you what I have prepared. Maybe, there were also moments I get angry a people. There is, but uh...I'm blood type "B", So I'll soon forget that I was angry (liagh) but it doesn't mean I'm angry, I'll make a diligent story. For example, I say that I don't like this and also tell my manager. "This from earlier, I wanted to do this because it was like this" that's why it's hard to see me yelling and I'm more of a quite type of anger person. Of course I have fights with SHINee members (laughs) I get angry quietly with others but the opposite with the members, I'm honest and express to the members. It'so okay to express "Anger" and "Sadness" because we have a "family-like relations ship" but recently, I haven't got so angry and I personally don't know why I get angry (laughs) The first fight with the members was just when we debuted. Key's in-ear monitors have disappeared but since he was using the same design og in-ear monitors as mine, Key took my in-ear monitors and used it. So I told him "These are my in-ear monitors, give me back!" and he reacted like "What the hell?" so I got angry and said "These are mine~~!" (laughs) but he is my hyung so I suppressed my emotions because there was a turn, It's been 12 years ago. I don't remember what happened at that time, but Key saw me "Angry" for the first time and was surprised, so I apologized after we went back to the dormitory (laughs) and in the practice room with Minho. Minho told me a secret and said "Don't tell anyone" but I told Suho from EXO, Who was still a Trainee at that time. When SUho heard that and laughed, Minho was angry and said "Why did you said?" Then I got angry at him "Why? Why can't I tell?" This was completely bad of me (laughs) I don't have a fight history of Onew but I've been angry at him, Onew was joking and asked me for wrestling. I said "I told you to stop!" (laughs) but this happened over 10 years ago. Yes, I explode after putting up with the members (smiles) It's like "Stop it, Stop it" and suddenly say "I told you to stop it!" (laughs ahrd) It's a pattern of suddenly saying bad words and regretting, So when we fight, I apologized.

JOY: Taemin: The most difficult part of shooting today was "Joy" I'm originally a fun person but I'm a little weak at making that kind of smile expression. For me "Fun" face is (when I see) the image of morning but now, It's noon, So I was a little difficult, and whe nI laugh with a swelling face, It will become a "Gross Taemin" (laughs) What feels "Fun" even when I grow up is the same for me. It's when I'm in a middle of performance. When the performance is finished successfully. When I'm playfully joking with the members. When I'm laughing with my friends. This Taemin is exactly the same Taemin from when I was a student. It's nice and fun to be everyone together and experience something together I guess time is important? If I woke up in the morning the tension won't rise but at night, I will be in a high tension (laugh) that's why Sunday concert s start around 4PM, It's a bit difficult to raise the tension but the last countdown concert started at 1AM, So the tension has risen to the most recent time, and even in the dressing room, I showed a bit of "Crazy" Taemin (laughs) It was anew year holiday and I twas really fun. Since, I'm actually a "Night" person, I basically wake up at night and slept today at 6AM. I watched videos on "Youtube" and I've been into online ames recently, I'm a gangster, but I'm addicted to robbing a difficult Jet plane in the game world (laugh) I'm practicing. It might be better to play a little cute game (laughs)

SNS: Taemin: I started Instagram but it's pretty difficult. Key is very good at using it but he must continue to use SNS, I didn't have the confidence to continue because I didn't have the sense to keep doing that and I wasn't very motivated. The times have changed and the staff around me recommend me to do it so I started to consider trying it out. There may be many people who thought that I would do SNS. The Insta LIVE itself is fun but it was most fun when Key used to be with my Insta LIVE and leave a comment. It's fresh to interact with them embers through SNS. During an Insta LIVE, Af riend contacted me to do it together, and there were things we did together, but that was also fun. I didn't know when to do Insta LIVE. Maybe when I think my face looks good (laughs) When I'm going for a walk and I'm decided to do it at that moment. Instagram also is about taking pictures and the fans ask when I'm going to upload a picture in the comments, and I feel a little bit pressure on and don't know what to do (laughs) but starting Instagram, I able to understand and us SNS, which I didn't know how to use or see before, I think I can check the videos I am interested in and sometimes study.

2020 Taemin: In 2019, I debuted in the US as SuperM member, I think I've grown with a new career and new genre but Korea albums, Japanese albums, Tours, Korean concerts...I think all of those experiences will be the current "Taemin" It's difficult to choose something even if I grew up. Therefore, It's not that my mind has changed or grown since 2020, For example, I think my personality and way of thinking are still the same as Taemin from 3 or 5 years ago. When I come to 2020, I thought that I would continue to do my best. and I wanted to always be fine without Injury. Of course, I would like to do my best as an artist but I would like to travel privately a well. To Europe, For example. I also got a license for scuba diving, So I would like to get a new license this time, I would to make active sports or create new hobbies. I saw a video of someone riding down a bicycle from a very snow mountain and it seemed to be insanely interesting! Although It's dangerous (laughs) I can't get off at such a fast speed, Of course, but I wanted to do it as a hobby. I also want to do something that files, like paragliding. Ah, wouldn't it be nice to fly from the sky and appear on the stage? (laughs)

SHINee: Taemin: 2020 is the year when all members will return, So I wanted to do my best until that time and convey my power to everyone with all my strength, and when the members return, I want to do my best for SHINee's activities. When SHINee is active again, I want to do an intense dance with the members first. Up and let everyone, including the fans, recognize that SHINee has returned. First of all, I'll ask the members what they want to do and and do they do to fulfill and to fulfill their wishes and how to build it...I want to play a role like that.For example, If Minho says he wants to do an intense dance, I'll think about who to ask for choreography. I want to make sure what the members want to do. I guess I was able to do what I want to do for my solo activities. Of course, the other members are also doing activities other than SHINee but while I won't be able to do that, I want to express on the stage what the members were thinking and let the fans see them properly. I think I suddenly feel firm (laughs) I'm the youngest in SHINee but in SuperM I'm the second older member. Mark and Lucas are the youngest ones but it may be relevant that when I looked at them, My appearance from the members of SHInee was like this. I am looking forward to being able to work again at SHINee but Im worried about that physical strength of members (laughs) Uncle Minho may be fine but it maybe a little hard. For Uncle Key and Uncle Onew (laughs) but everyone has the energy and will do it again so I want to be able to radiate the energy.
