SHINee’S IDEAL TYPES!?
We asked these five cute men a lot of questions for this issue!

Q1: Among the members the one who is most popular with the ladies is me! YES or NO
Onew/Minho/Taemin/Key: NO
Jonghyun: YES (LOL)
Onew: …Why?
Jonghyun: But isn’t it better to be described as popular with the ladies instead of unpopular? (LOL)
Taemin: But isn’t everyone popular with girls? Aren’t you lying? I just wanted to show them my modest side so I said I am unpopular! (Taemin looks proud while saying it for some reason)

Q2: Among the members the manliest one is me! YES or NO
Everyone: NO~!
Jonghyun: Here in SHINee, is there even a manly member?
Taemin: But all of us are guys, so I don’t know how you measure how manly someone is?
Minho: what is that (LOL).

Q3: Among the members the kindest one is me! YES or NO
Onew/Jonghyun/Key/Minho: YES!
Taemin: NO!
Jonghyun: Is it because Taemin has the “bad boy” style? (LOL)
Taemin: Yup. I don’t know exactly but I don’t have good guy feel to me.
Minho: I take great effort in being nice.
Jonghyun: I’m nice towards girls (LOL).
Onew: Yeah, that is the most important thing, isn’t it? (LOL)

Q4: We have a member who has a lot of confidence and won’t lose to anyone. YES or NO
Taemin: Everyone has this of course, right?
Onew/Jonghyun/Key/Minho: Yeah, we do!
Key: Since it’s embarrassing to say it ourselves, how about another member talking about a particular member for this?
Jonghyun: Minho is the sports almighty. He’s especially good at ball games and there’s nothing he can’t do.
Minho: Because I really hate to lose….(LOL)
Taemin: Yeah, when it comes to sports Minho doesn’t joke around. He becomes very serious.
Minho: Onew is the strongest when it comes to dekopin [t/n: it’s japanese for ttakbam]
Onew: Yeah, this is the only thing I can’t lose to anyone (grins)
Taemin: Wait, when are you going to tell mine?
Jonghyun: You’re the almighty when it comes to age.
Onew: Yeah, Taemin is the youngest so he can’t lose to anyone. Jonghyun is outstanding in terms of being dynamic.
Jonghyun: Now that I think about it, I’m the type to carry out change immediately. And of course Key is the most stylish!

Q5: You think you can have friendship with both men and women. YES or NO.
Onew/Jonghyun/Minho: YES!
Taemin: Maybe the generations before us wouldn’t think of such a thing much but if it’s our generation then yes of course.
Key: I was thinking of answering no but I realized I have a lot of female friends (LOL).

Q6: What would make you happy if a girl said it to you?
A. You’re interesting. or B. You’re reliable.
Jonghyun/Minho/Key: B
Taemin: I’ve never been told that I’m interesting so…should I choose B, too?
Key: That’s not true. Taemin is interesting (LOL).
Onew: I choose A. If I’m told that I’m interesting, I’ll try to be even more interesting! I’ll do my best in my puns!

Q7: If you’re ever reborn, what would you like to be in your next life?
A. Man or B. Woman
Everyone: A!
Onew: Absolutely, I want to be a man! If I’m reborn as another man, I’ll live my life to the fullest!
Taemin: That would be good. Also, if some memories from your previous life were retained, it would be great.
Everyone: Yeah!
Key: Before, I used to think that I would want to be reborn as a girl, but girls have so many things to do and they look troublesome. Like they have to wear skirts and heels. Everyday they have to wear makeup. That’s why, I decided that I’ll also want to become a man anyway.

Q8: If you ever receive something from Doraemon’s pockets, you’d want…
A. Takecopter or B. Doko demo Door
[t/n: Takecopter is a yellow thing you put on your head so you can fly like a helicopter. Doko demo door is a door that opens to anywhere you want to go.]
Everyone: B! (immediate answer)
Onew: Of course it’s absolutely B, right?
Key: I don’t want to be a plane~.
Minho: I would want to go home right away whenever we have a break.
Jonghyun: After work, we can just go “Good work, everyone!” then open the door and be at home immediately (LOL).
Key: And then we can accept more work (because we can travel faster)… (everyone laughs)

Q9: If you girlfriend suddenly says, “I want to go for a pair look,” will you do it? YES or NO
Onew/Taemin: NO.
Jonghyun: Instead of wearing matching outfits or having matching items, maybe we can just do a matching concept and aura in terms of fashion.
Key: I want to do it! Lately, those uniform-like t-shirts are a thing and maybe my girlfriend and I will wear it, then she will wear short pants or miniskirts and it’d be great. But then again if I coordinate my lover’s outfits there will definitely be an argument once I open my mouth (LOL).
Minho: I want to do it, too. I haven’t done it before so I’m curious as to how it would feel if I ever tried it. Should we wear the same t-shirts or something?
Jonghyun: Maybe you should wear the same high heels?! (LOL)

Q10: While walking in the streets on a date would you…
A. hold your date’s hand or B. link arms
Key/Minho: A!
Jonghyun/Onew: B!
Onew: I don’t want to hold hands because my palms would be sweaty (LOL).
Taemin: I want to do B, too, but during winter it would be nice to do A. Since our hands would be cold during winter, if we hold hands we’ll become warmer.
Minho: Putting both of our hands in a pocket would also be nice.

Q11: Which type of girl do you prefer?
A. A girl with dog-like obedience
B. A girl with cat-like capriciousness
Minho: A!
Onew/Jonghyun/Key/Taemin: B!
Minho: You guys want a girl who manipulates you?
Jonghyun: I want to manipulate that type of girl (eye glint)
Onew: What I mean is, for example, it would make me feel bad if the girl just listens to whatever I say. I would want her to speak and move more freely with me.
Taemin: Yeah. But I do think both types are cute. Minho likes a dog-like obedient girl?
Minho: But aren’t submissive girls nice? If I have a capricious girlfriend I’ll be uneasy wherever we go.

Q12: Your girlfriend called you late at night saying, “I want to meet up with you right now!”
A. Ten minutes is enough so you will go
B. Tomorrow you have work so you’ll just tell her to bear it for a while
Onew/Jonghyun/Key/Minho: A!
Taemin: B!
Jonghyun: Eh? Really?
Minho: Then you can’t have a girlfriend (LOL)
Taemin: But it’s bothersome…
Key: You won’t go even if your girlfriend cries?
Taemin: But it can’t be helped. There’s work tomorrow
Minho: Such a bad boy, huh (LOL)
Taemin: No, no! It’s just really troublesome, okay!
Onew: Taemin still hasn’t had experience with a first love so he really doesn’t know, right.

Q13: Would you contact your friends or girlfriend just to check up on them?
A. YES or B. NO
Key: YES
Minho/Taemin: Not really.
Taemin: Because it’s so troublesome (LOL).
Jonghyun: I dote on them.
Onew: I think I’m not that type. But I do talk to them in Kakaotalk or other chat apps.

Q14: What if your girlfriend cooked food for you but it tasted bad?
A. I will tell her outright that it is bad.
B. I’ll endure and still eat it.
Onew/Jonghyun/Minho: B!
Key: I think I will tell her outright. But I’ll phrase it as a joke like, “This is your first time making this?” or something. I’ll tell it in a roundabout way.
Taemin: No matter who cooked it, I won’t say anything and just eat it all up~.

Q15: If you go out on a date, who should lead and take initiative?
A. Yourself or B. Your girlfriend
Jonghyun/Key/Minho: Of course myself (immediate answer)
Jonghyun: We’re the guys so of course we’d want to lead.
Taemin: I haven’t dated before so I don’t really know (grins)
Onew: I think half and half would be good. There’ll be times when I’ll suggest what I want to do or where to go and there’ll be times when I’ll support my girlfriend with whatever she wants to do. I think there should be a balance.
