  1. Hmmm...apparently alot of ppl here dont know how to read/comprehend the OP first but straight away commented. Its not the main character Yuri, but a side character. It just seems like bunch of elitist salty j-ent/jpop fans commenting.

     

    No one knows whether the characters are inspired by certain famous figures unless if the creators confirmed it themselves. Like how Io Sakisaka did. But I think that character really looks Taemin from the clothes, to the hair to the scene in PYN mv where he walks on the bridge. Could be coincidence or could be inspired.

     

    Inspired doesn't have to mean they have to have the same personality or job or background but it can also mean the creators purposely made them to have same visuals(look-alike) and that is certainly the case with Sakisaka's characters who resemble Taemin alot when it comes to visuals but not personality/background.

    This is so funny coming from a shawol. :lol: When Shinee won AOTY at MMA in 2013... Ex0 beat them in album sales and digitals so shawols used the hard work excuse in their defense. To see a shawol drag another fandom for the same thing is hilarious and hypocritical.

     

     

    Just want to point out that actually in 2013 when SHINee won Melon Artist of The Year, SHINee actually was the best-selling "digital" albums for boygroup that year and overall, they're around top 5-6 for overall best selling digital albums which was impressive for SM boygroup standards at the time. E*o's digital album sales that time didn't beat SHINee's. E*o's "physicals" beat SHINee's. Melon count digitals, not physicals.

  3. For Halloween tonight, it would be cool if SHINee went together in a group concept like Avengers - Jonghyun as Iron Man, Minho as Thor :lub: , Onew as Captain America, etc

     

    And wow a repack  :la: I didn't expect it this soon as they just ended their 1of1 promos.  RIP my wallet. If they're still continuing with the NJS/retro concept for repack, hopefully it will be bop and I'm speculating the random dance that OnKeyTae did after winning At MCD, will probably be the choreo.

  4. Is SHINee gonna be on Sketchbook?

     

    A rant

     

     

    I failed to see how 1of1 is public-friendly. It sounds catchy for western audiences but not for Koreans. Many people found it to have similar chorus with MTTM, that song flopped and its a no brainer that 1of1 is going to that direction too. While I do think the song is good but tbh, if I could assume and speak from the public's perpective, the song sounded too retro, sweet and sugary that sounds like it appeals to girls only( mostly within the fandom) and it lacks the catchiness that sticks in your mind. Retro isn't in rn and most of the digital chart consumers are males, hence, having a song that isn't catchy isn't going to attract them as the overall vibe and sound of 1of1 is obviously boring and isn't appealing to them. Catchiness is something like RV's "bbbbeatbeatbeat..." in RR and SHINee's "Ahreumdaun daundaundaundaun (sounds like downdowndown too)...view". They should've stick to this formula. 1of1 is "easy listening" for sure but not "catchy".

     

    Also, if I could criticize, (imo) if they wanted to go retro and New Jack Swing direction, they should've gone for Korean style NJS like Deux and HOT's sounds in the 90s instead of Bobby Brown's sound. I'm sure Koreans are more familiar with Deux than Bobby Brown, hence it would've been more nostalgic than using a westernize sound.

     

     

    I can't believe by 3rd/4th day, its already hitting the 30s position. Its doing worse than I imagined. I'm not sure if the fandom doesnt even care to stream enough for the digital charting, which is ashamed if they are. Knowing that SHINee chose this title track with the public in mind but ppl let them down and let it flop is what make my heart breaks for the boys. I hope the next comeback they will not try to please the public and just promote the song they like the most and just stay true to themselves . From fanaccounts, its seems like OnJongTae prefer Prism more. If they still insists on trying to appeal to the public, they (SHINee and their team) need to study and do more research on what really appeals to the public and the digital music consumers.

     

    The physical sales are looking really good, so, I have no complains about that. I'm quite impressed.

  5. As of right now:

    1of1 #5

    Don't Let Me Go #7

    Prism #8

     

    Keep working hard guys. Make sure these esp 1of1 dont fall off out of top 10 at 8-10am kst.

     

     

    I saw Infinit's The Eye, around 2/3 weeks song creeping at #6 (between 1of1 and DLMG). fyi, this fandom is as big or slightly smaller than our fandom, so, if they can download and stream to that position, we should be able too for shinee if we work hard. Don't give up! Hopefully the public give a chance to our boys too.

     

     


  6. "SHINee is back again
    Doin' a 90s New Jack Swing
    Onho Jongtaekey going off
    Not too hard, not too soft

    It's long overdue but now
    SHINee is slayin'
    SHINee , ABC, BBD
    from the SM family
    Never skipped a beat, na
    While cooling on Seoul street
    Jonghyun's lamborghini, looking majestic
    And all the chicken that you could eat


    Since last year we used to dream about this everyday
    Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
    Then we started praying to God, hope the comeback is good
    So SHINee prepared a comeback and here they are
    Kickin' it just for you"

  7. Unless we have multiple different covers with different photobooks like Bee-Tee-Ess's album does (and like that 'member covers' rumour said), then we were bound to have lesser physicals than them regardless. :._.: And it won't help that by the time Behind-The-Scenes are eligible to win, we will be in our second week and be understandably declining with our physicals, since the first week sales will probably be our strongest. It's going to be tough going against them - we just have to hope that our digitals are amazing, and that there's is so-so.

     

     

    I've been trying to keep this to myself but I'm gonna say it here, I swear SHINee always had bad luck with timing and injuries. If SM had not planned that pre-comback 3-day concert, Onew probably wouldn't have gotten injured, and comeback would've been earlier and gone smoothly as planned and our boys would have chance of 2 weeks of clean sweep on music shows. By the time BeeTeeEeS already confirmed their release on the 10th, I was hoping SM would set SHINee's release date way earlier like around 3Oth Nov-2 Oct, so they could comeback earlier and would have more chance to get more wins. But I was slightly disappointed when they announced release date on the 5th. Maybe they're trying to let Onew heal completely but then I heard Onew is already healed and gonna perform at an event on the 30th Oct. Honestly, I don't have high hopes for amazing digitals because SHINee's digitals were never amazing digital monster type. I'm just hoping and praying they'll do as good as View or better like Replay/RDD. I honestly idk. Idk if SHINee still has the hype to do as great as Replay. I mean MTTM was an amazing song imo but idg why it tanked. But who knows, I'm hoping for a miracle and that SHINee's comeback this time become a public hit. SHINee's digital charting and downloads are unpredictable. And you never know BeeTeeEsS has chance to do well digitally too since they're a trending group and growing in popularity these days and being hyped and mediaplayed as Eksxo's rival, hence, of course more and more people are gonna check them out as well. IneedU did well last year.

    That group's pre-order already topping the chart, its making me nervous for our boys.

     

    To anyone reading this, don't get discouraged. We need to work extremely hard by streaming, downloading for digitals sake and buying physicals. Let's not be lazy, work on the MV views and do it for our boys. Onew will enlist in 2 more years, this comeback could be one of their last, hence, we need to do our best. Let's pray and hope for the best.
