Favorite animal is the giraffe

SHINee leader. "Good at everything", good at school and got second place in school.

Onew and Food: Most of all, Onew loves chicken wings. According to his confession in one interview, if the end of the world came, first of all, Onew would eat all the chicken in Korea and Japan. He probably even likes to buy food more than clothes. As he himself once admitted: “I love chicken more than clothes! I ate 36 chicken wings the other day. (laughs) After that, the bones were piled up~"

Favorite Japanese food is a dish with rice and eel. Also Una-dong. Onew doesn't like cucumbers.

Favorite Japanese Drama - My Boss My Hero

Favorite Japanese Artist - Utada Hikaru

Habits: Sleeps in an embrace with a blanket; likes to brush his teeth for a long time; He drinks a glass of water every time before going to bed, as it relaxes him a lot.

There is no specific type for him, as he thinks that everyone has their own specific attraction. The girls themselves are attracted by Onew's friendliness. But for the leader perfect girl this is not only the one that radiates a lot of the sun, but also the one that can manage, direct and be near him. In relations with girls, Onew often hesitates in making decisions, because everything must be carefully thought out, listened to inner voice before making the fateful decision that this is the treasure. And when he decides, he will go to a crowded playground and loudly confess his love to her. After all, to confess to so many people you need to have great courage, so he will really show his true love.

A car, that's what can bring happiness to Onew, because the leader loves to travel, (he collects plane tickets from all foreign trips), moreover, he is the kind of person who likes to just decide to go somewhere and goes, so the car is important for transportation. Also on a normal day, if there is time, he sometimes drives a car, drives along the Han River (which runs through Seoul) and enjoys the night scenery. And, if he has a little time, then at sunset he goes with his friends to the mountains. In the northeast, he was in the Seorak Mountains and would like, if given the chance, to go to Japan to Mount Fiuggi. Another thing like a music player can make him happy. After all, music for him is like the energy of production! He believes that each style gives us something of its own, something unlike anything else. In his opinion, opera is something that strikes straight to the heart. Something that really hits you right in the heart. This is the kind of feeling that the opera evokes in the leader.

Onew is always smiling for the camera, even through his pain. Therefore, in the future, he would like to become such a man who would continue to smile and be happy no matter what. A courageous person. Not macho, not at all, but one that tries to achieve perfection. He has a strong feature - this is the ability to concentrate and direct all his strength and energy to achieve what he wants. Even if he has a busy schedule, he doesn't think, "Oh, I can't do this," he thinks, "I'm doing this because I can." Jinky is very greedy for future plans. He has so many of them that it even seems strange. What he wants to do, he does it. Regardless of which direction his thoughts flow, it's just that if he sets himself a goal, he fulfills it, no matter what. It can be seen, because the voice of our Onew was really recognized by everyone, and recognized not only as the average voice of a member of some boy band .. Onew was recognized as a real singer who can withstand several hours live on stage + playing a role ..... Guess what we're talking about??? Onew musicals:,

The members themselves about Jonghyun
Jonghyun... perfect in every way.. except for his height?
The member of the group who talks the most on all the shows is Jonghyun.
The rest of Shiny laughingly says, “The image he shows on the show is actually completely the same as what he is in real life. Jonghyun is playful!”
However, according to Minho, “During the show, when we have to sing songs that aren't our own, he always takes responsibility for high and difficult notes. And no matter how he behaves, we always perceive him as a serious, responsible and conscientious person. The only thing that makes him part a bit is his height."

Key is the Diva of All SM along with Cinderella Hichold xD His stage name is Allmighty Key, which means "Ki Almighty". Nick is quite justified, since Key is one of the most gifted members. He sings, dances, raps. , which is the most fashionable. Takes the place of the MOM in the group, while the DAD is the leader of Onew. Key knows how to cook well, the members appreciate it very much. The happy owner of a great sense of humor and cute sillyness. Appeared in the film Super Junior "Attack of the Flower Boys" as an extras dancer.

Kibum's favorite thing is a flower diary. In the diary, he writes down all the things that have happened since debut, and part of the schedule sheet looks like a manager's - it is filled with various events and activities. Kibum says:"By writing everything in a diary, you can calm down and plan your day. "Ah, today is such a day" or "I need to think about this thing."This diary contains the process of my growing up."

Kibum is not one to be offended by the truth, he accepts everything as it is. He tries to correct his shortcomings. In the past, when something did not suit him, he directly said:"I do not like it", but now, in order not to put people in an uncomfortable position, he says the same thing as a joke. He has changed. And more and more often he hears from fans that he has forgotten how to be angry.

Ki is unusual in its habits, for example:"Make a new promise every week!"this he still follows. All its constancy and non-constancy - all in one."Find as many cases as possible." - a prime example another habit, the habit of a typical workaholic. Workaholism is not a disease for him, for him it is life. A life in which every day is some kind of task, an obstacle that he must overcome for his own growth and development. In this way he perfects himself. Getting closer to your own ideal. Which, alas, even he, I'm afraid, does not know. Didn't make it to the top.
