☆JYC☆ <3 ★ KiM jOnG kOoK - yOoN eUn HyE ☆ <3 ★JYC☆ ~~photos taken after KJK served the MS~~ KIM JONG KOOK YOON EUN HYE Jong-Yoon Couple Love Story: credit to coolsmurf class="entry-title" style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 2.3rem; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; clear: both; -webkit-transition: opacity 0.3s linear; line-height: 1.1em;"Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye real love story Even outside of Xman, there are too many uncanny links between them that is either too coincidental or they simply just want to show their affection for each other in public. You might have hated them together, think that either one of them aren’t good enough for each other, there are others suitable for them, etc. But you are not them, what matters is that they enjoy being with each other and that’s what really matters. I like many of you, got acquainted with Eun Hye through watching Goong and know that Shin Chae Gyung (Eun Hye’s role) belongs to Prince Shin in it. But her name is Yoon Eun Hye in real life. Everything ends after the director shouts cut. You can say the same for Xman, everything ends after recording. But, this apparently isn’t so if you manage to finish reading through this entire post of information and pictures. I am not forcing on you that they should be together. But you could take a neutral stand, watch and decide for yourself. Besides this, my Youtube library of videos can also testify to that plus the hundred of comments posted on them. Once again, have to give thanks to Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye supporters for compiling and creating all these information and pictures as evidence of proof of their romance. It isn’t easy to spot all these and then take the time to stitch them up together… 1. This unusual appearance of them together happened during the period when their newspaper scandal broke out in November 2004 as they appeared on SBS I Am variety show. They look ultra compatible in their matching outfits, seating together and being continually teased by the hosts and guests on the show. 2. Eun Hye attended the premiere of his Letter music video which was also his birthday party. (link) Eun Hye was supposed to be his leading lady for this MV but could not find an appropriate slot in her calendar for filming. The role later went to Park Shin Hye. The song ironically appears as Eun Hye’s background music on her cyworld blog during that period. 3. It appears that Eun Hye seem to be using her own wardrobe for both Goong drama and then later in Jong Kook’s music video, Letter. Looks like she went shopping particularly to look for something similar to match Jong Kook’s outfits. 4. There was this radio interview in September 2005 between Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jong Kook where both are the best of friends. Radio transcript|Radio interview The highlight of the interview was Jong Kook pretending not to know the actual age gap between him and Eun Hye to cover his tracks. But Tae Hyun ruined it for him again by saying the actual age gap even though he is not that close to Eun Hye, yet he knows that their gap is only 8 years. Also, Tae Hyun was also pretending to be single as well because he made it seem like he was single. This even though he has been with the same woman for 10 years and married her this year. Denial is the name of the game in the showbiz industry. 5. In November 2005, Jong Kook finally admits that he would like to date Eun Hye during a LIVE interview on Yoon Do Hyun Love Letter so things must have gone well since then, cause Eun Hye appeared in his music video, Saying I Love You and on the pretext of thanking her, he gave her a diamond ring and a scooter as gifts for her assistance. Eun Hye was no longer in Xman last year but they still created another new scandal in July 2006 which made the news with this music video. Jong Kook had a diamond ring custom made for Eun Hye at a famous jewelry store, Agape and also gave her a red scooter. Sure they did damage control saying that he just gave it to her because she participated in his MV but the diamond ring he gave her was bigger than the couple ring that he once gave to his ex-girlfriend. And who ever gives such expensive stuff just because they were in your music video? 6. The pictures of Eun Hye were actual photos that were placed on her cyworld blog in January 2006. They were then stitched together by fans to show the stark similarities between her and Jong Kook. See and decide for yourself. They even have the same pose, just look at their hands…how sweet 7. In another program called Nal Ah Ra Shoot-Dori on KBS channel dated 26th Feb 2006, this was where Jong Kook used his phone to call Cha Tae Hyun to tell him the good news of Shootdori winning the first game. When he passed the phone to the kid, Kim Tae Hoon, the screen showed his phone accessory that was kind of similiar to what Eun Hye had on hers. The caps of Eun Hye was coincidentally taken around that same time. 8. One of Eun Hye’s favourite brands is Burberry, so it’s no surprise that she would shop for matching Burberry helmets for them to wear on their music video, Saying I Love You. 9. Who could be the one driving Eun Hye to Jong Kook’s brother wedding in May 2006? Both of them would later appear at the same wedding not together though and Jong Kook had changed to a suit to receive guests but just too bad. It was a private reception so no media was allowed in. Although after this, Jong Kook has been avoiding the media very smartly in future weddings he went to. Eun Hye was at the wedding early. The wedding was to start at 3 pm but she was already there hours there before since she had to help out at the reception. These field report came from a source who prefer to remain anonymous. There were 2 receptions, one for the honored guest/family and the other one set at a later time for friends. The first reception for honored guest and family happened at 3 pm. Eun Hye was there but sat at the bride’s side, not the groom side, to avoid needless gossip. The bride’s side were so surprised to see that Eun Hye was already there before everyone else. Yeh also attended the second reception held for Jong Kook and his brother friends that same day at a different time. She was there the whole day but she avoided being photographed together or sitting next to Jong Kook because they were scared that one of the guests might leak the photos to the media, so they kept their distance all the time. 10. Guess Eun Hye was giving him the thumbs up after knowing that the One Man was allowed to play soccer on this date while serving the military because she posted this pic on her cyworld blog on June 4th. (thanks to lhasha) 11. During Jong Kook’s four weeks of military training, he was not allowed to contact anyone, at that time his squad leader posted a picture of Eun Hye (that pic where she was getting prepared for the Bali photoshoot) on his Cyworld blog and put it under the “Special Lover” folder along with some Jong Kook pictures. Why would his squad leader put Jong Kook’s and Eun Hye’s picture under the “Special Lover” folder? What made it even more suspicious was that his Cyworld was open to public before this but after smart fans found out about his blog, he edited that folder and later took it down due to a lot of fans asking him for details.. but it was too late, we already knew it… 12. Not to mention Eun Hye and Jong Kook’s name were used as an example in a learn to speak english book for children. How about that, teaching the children from young not to practise denial of relationship from public? Haha… 13. In this particular interview published on December 10th 2006, a reporter asked Eun Hye for her opinion on the two men linked frequently with her, Joo Ji Hyun and Kim Jong Kook. You can see clearly that the answers she gave leaned more towards Kim Jong Kook!! (Translated Interview) 14. This is what Eun Hye had to say about Jong Kook in an interview

Academy Casting I. ONEW'S FUN FACTS Onew joined SHINee after being casted at the SM Academy in 2006. He dreamed to be a singer ever since high school after hearing people praised him for his soft chocolate vocals. He also achieved an outstanding result of ranking 2nd in his second last year of high school. Nicknamed Dubu cos of his soft/ pure personality and Ontokki cos of his 2 bunny teeth; you will never be convinced that he is the eldest in the group as his cute and adorkable personality never leaves him. Although he is the chubbiest member of the group, fans love him for his ongguns, onthighs and onbuns (LOL) and we must never forget his captivating smiling-eyes and contagious smile, which are his best features that proceeds in killing numerous noonas in the entertainment world: Ye Eun, Seungyeon, Lee Sooyoung and Jung Juri etc are a notable few who have fallen under the charms of our dubu leader ♥ He calls himself "flubber" as he is very unpredictable and has the ability to surprise everyone with his odd talents such as Trot Singing, Donald Duck imitations, Spinning Tables and Body Gags. His Onew sangtae (condition) stems from these talents and has never failed to impress people / make people laugh on variety shows, which earned him a permanent MC spot on Night Star. His talents don’t stop here; he recently composed the lyrics for “Your Name” in their latest Lucifer album and has participated in a few duets with Jonghyun, Jessica and Kim Yeonwoo etc in SHINee’s previous albums. Having already casted in 2 musicals (Brothers Were Brave and Rock of Ages), there is so much more this young man is capable to show. He acquires to be a “decent bad boy”, yet fans know that he is the nicest and most humble person ever who never gets mad at his fellow members for teasing him. Being the filial son as he is, he wakes up to his mom’s text messages every morning and recently bought his dad a car with the money he earned. Last but certainly not least, we can never forget about his OTP, Fried Chicken. He loves it more than his son, Yoogeun. ** LA! Once you start thinking about eating chicken or acting random, you might not realize it but you have already fallen for our Dubu leader (; ** “Everybody Chicken!

Casting System I. JONGHYUN'S FUN FACTS 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?" © Jonghyun's Fun Facts written by babyblue & paprii @ soompi shinee thread♥ II.

National Tour Audition Casting I. KEY'S FUN FACTS 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 itㅋㅋㅋ 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. © Key's Fun Facts written by hi_ie@ soompi shinee thread♥ II.

Casting System I. MINHO'S FUN FACTS 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 modeled 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. © Minho's Fun Facts written by whiz18 @ soompi shinee♥ II.

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! © Taemin's Fun Facts written by vivientww @ soompi shinee thread♥ II.

Mrs. Song is mother of Eun Joo(Moon Geun Young). Fat boy whose weight was almost 100Kg in his middle school age. Nobody had cared him, so he should care himself. He had joined wrestling team as the team gave him food. He moved to baseball team when the team gave him more food. Food was some kind of religion to little Jungwoo. The food, which even hairy Mr. Chang or Mrs. Song Kangsook never prepared for him, was served by Eun Joo. After Eun Joo came to Mr.Chang's home, there is a smoke of cooking.

Do NOT go around the swear filter; no exceptions. - YOU WILL BE WARNEDLike the random thread, the ranting thread has become huge over the years. As a result, I thought we'd have a new one for the sake of less cluttering in the monstrous number of posts. So you guys and gals all know how it works, vent out any frustrations here as long as: There is no swearing. If you're gonna swear, don't go around the swear filter. What a pinkberry huh? ... No seriously, please don't. If we catch it, you will be warned for going around the swear filter just like anywhere else on Soompi. Refrain from mentioning any races/ethnicities whatsoever, violating that will also lead to a warning. We're not responsible for any further social drama that may erupt from this, so if your friends find out you've been posting about them, not our problem! You'll all be good right? Again: Do NOT go around the swear filters. YOU WILL BE GIVEN A % WARNING.
