*Do you know why Key and Taemin are laughing here after seeing the number Taemin picked out of the box? 
In his turn, Taemin says he will pick the one with cheerful orange color lip mark on. The number he picked is C8.
You still probably won’t get why they are laughing. C8 is pronounced in Korean as Si-pal, which sounds like swearing.
So Taemin takes care not to pronounce it that way and says “C row, number 8″.
Don’t say “C8″ to Koreans, or they will get mad. 
[HaSangBeg] Scheduled for dongsaengs’ new album shoot on Sunday, so working full on Sat. and Sun… & and again…^^
*I think “dongsaengs” means SHINee. At DC, someone shared info about this jacket shoot, so you can be 99% assured it’ll be for SHINee’s comeback album. How long does it take for them to make a comeback after the jacket shoot? Too excited now… >,<

*Oh, it was just a peck on her forehead~ (I wonder how flamers are feeling at such a preview of Minho’s hot kiss )
*A superpower that matches Jonghyun is the croaking of frogs. And at the end of this episode, Jonghyun says his Indian name is “Loud Hawk’s Death.” Do you see what is in common? XD
*Ok, I’ll add a translation of his most recent twit: the photo he posted shows his superpower is Taoist wizard art of froggy croaking, and his message is “what is your superpower? mine is useless and even training is not easy. When I use it after learning it hard, I get reported for loud singing and get a spray of pesticide…croak, croak.” (*my twit of the second half of the translation has disappeared! o_o;;). Every game and app tells him he’s a loud chatty guy XDDDDD

*Just to show you what a custom earphone looks like. SNSD Yoona’s, TVXQ Yunho’s, and Changmin’s in the order from top. Looks awesome, doesn’t it?

*Shawols, he’s just doing business!
A custom earphone (ear-monitor) specialist twitted SHINee is scheduled at 11 on Friday. SHINee must be getting their own earphones finally. Happy to hear this!
Is SHINee really facing a “sad and harsh time”? Am I the only person who thinks it is us shawols who face a sad and harsh time because we are deprived of SHINee’s awesome music and performances? of their dorky and cute interactions on TV? >,< Even with Onew, I’m just glad he is taking a long break he deserves after overworking himself so much. And SHINee is going to have an arena tour in Japan soon. They will have 20 rounds! It’s a record in category of the first arena tour by an overseas artist/group. Did you hear SHINee sold out tickets except for the May 5th one? I saw a posting by someone who checked the ticket sales and saw the sales for all the other dates already closed. I guess that means “sold out.” Isn’t this something all the other idol groups must be envious of? We may be seeing things just from our own perspective. Things are not so bad for SHINee…if only SHINee could make a strong comeback…
Anyway, still it’s a good idea to send our shout out of love to SHINee. I know you are all worried about fans leaving because of this prolonged hiatus. I know most k-shawols and many i-shawols don’t like SHINee’s activities in Japan. I understand why, but it is very important for SHINee to build up a strong fanbase in Japan and Asia and possibly in Europe. Korea is too small, and there are new groups popping up every month. Korean fans can move from this to that group easily. Frankly, I’ve thought international fans are more loyal. For instance, HOT’s Kangta or Shinhwa’s Shin Hyesung can still have concerts in China or Japan, but not in Korea. Maybe it’s not a matter of loyalty, but of the number of fans or the size of market? Now with Kpop’s power growing, this may change as many new groups are venturing out, so international fans also have more options. What do you think?

*I came across this while browsing naver. All of these are replies in a row one fan received from Jonghyun. Haha, Jonghyun’s sense of humor >,<
*To explain more about “someman”: it’s a new word made up by Korean netizens as a compound of “something+man”. It refers to a man you have a good feeling but are not dating yet.
