On the 27th, Newsen conducted an interview with SM Entertainment's new contemporary boy band SHINee, in which the 5 members revealed their casting stories.

Tae Min (youngest 14): "I started dancing since 3rd grade. I always loved to dance and when I heard that SM Entertainment was holding auditions, I rushed to go try out. I was lucky and got casted. Even now, whenever I have time, I'm always watching dance videos to learn new moves."

Ohn Yoo (leader): "As soon as I entered high school, I felt that I really wanted to sing, I fell in love with music. People around me also kept telling me that I sing pretty well, so I decided that I wanted to become a singer and enlisted in the SM Academy. From there, I was casted and am now a part of SHINee."

Key: "When I was in Kindergarten, I chose "singer" as my future dream occupation. When SM Entertainment held auditions, I tried out."

Min Ho: "I was road casted by chance. Even as a child, I always loved preforming for others, so when I was casted by luck, I was extremely happy."

Jong Hyun: "Ever since middle school, I was actively involved in various bands and performed at many competitions to further my skills. Luckily, at one of the competitions, an SM Entertainment representative was watching and I got casted."

The SHINee members also stated, "When we first met and were under training, we didn't really talk much to each other. We were all very young and we even got into a couple fights with each other, but we think that's pretty normal for all trainees."

The last statement shocked me. haha. It's pretty normal but still, it shocked me. :sweatingbullets:

Somehow, KEY's replies & answers always lead me laughing. hahaha! <3 Don't get me wrong guys. He's my fave member! ^o^

But I'm not sure whether to trust the article or not, since the source has a bad rep? ^_^v Anyhow, it never did say anything bad about the boys so.. imma believe it. (: thanks for sharing!

wow.. 2 out of 5 were casted by chance.

so i guess scouts are out there more than we think...

this is the first time i've hheard of trainees fighting.

i never knew they didn't get along because you always see happy pictures...

but i hope they'll get along better now that they'll be together for a while...

and i like the 3 photos you put up!

thanks for sharing! :D

Guest --hearts.

I think the last I read...Taemin trained for three years before debut? Makes sense since the first FIRST few pictures of him came out in 2006 and it said he was one of the newer trainees at that time. So he started in 2005-ish and debuted 2008. Not bad.

Ah, I think it's cool when people get scouted like that haha

i'm not surprised. sm trainee's are in it for some extreme competition :ph34r:

For sure, I mean I'd be more surprised if they had never fought as trainees. It has to be pretty intense training under such a rigorous management and tempers are sure to blow up. :ph34r:
