5 member girl group f(x)’s Amber, has said that she has heard many times that she looks like some of her company’s seniors.

On September 11, at the Seoul Yeoido KBS Annex Hall, Amber met with reporters in the waiting room and said, “People say I look like Super Junior’s Donghae, and also SHINee’s Jonghyun.”

Before her debut, Amber was introduced with her short hair and boyish charms, which aroused controversy on “Is she a boy or a girl?” But meeting Amber in person, she has cute appearances.

Amber said, “It’s been about an year and a half since I’ve come to Korea” Also “I got very close to KARA’s Nicole. It was a little easier to talk, since I was able to talk in English with Nicole.”

Every time she would encounter a broadcast official in the hallways, Amber would always bow 90 degrees, with the so-called ‘Belly Button Bow’, which has attracted attention.

Full activities for f(x) have started after their September 2nd debut showcase. f(x) who is gaining a lot of popularity with their song ‘LA chA TA’ has been acclaimed the ‘Amateur Monster’ (TL Note: They’re basically calling f(x) new artists who has swiped out the music industry~)

Tohoshinki’s / DBSK’s younger brother, rumored newborn star came!
After debuting last year they swept the rookie award and topped in the hit charts.
Korea’s Super Idol finally comes to Japan! Can’t help but support this five cute and fresh people ♪
➜ Press conference that was held in Tokyo the next day when fan meeting on August 10 was made to make it big. It was, and a lot of reporters (almost female journalists) crowded it with a long-awaited visit to Japan.

ALL: Kagayaku SHINee desu! Yoroshiku Onegai shimasu (In Japanese) Hello, we are shining SHINee,

> Please let me hear the story before SHINee was formed.


Taemin: I was done the casting in the town, auditioned while practicing, and passed.
Onew: At that time, the debut has not been decided yet though we practiced together for 1 or 2 years.
Jonghyun: I think it was 2 years before that 5 of us, SHINee debuted.

> What is the meaning of SHINee?
Key: SHINee has the word significance of “shine”, right. We combine “shine” and suffix “-ee”, the group’s name carries the meaning of “one who receives light” or “one under the spotlight”.

> At last, your album “ROMEO” was released in Japan recently.
Onew: It’s wonderful that everyone is expecting. I’m so thankful.
Key: If there’s a chance, I would like to ask to all of the fans what their impressions to our music are.
Jonghyun: Even in the fan meeting, our fans were lively and I felt their passion.
Onew: The first song was “Noona, You’re so pretty” was only released in Korean but all of the fans stood up, hold their pen light, waved and supported us.
Minho: Not only in Korea and our album was also published here in Japan. On top of that, we received ardent support from fans. I thought that I will do my best from now on.

> In the album “ROMEO” the second track recorded song “Juliette” has a DVD, right?
Onew: Because it’s the music that Jonghyun challenged writing songs for the first time, all members expressed inner feelings.
Jonghyun: I have interest in writing lyrics for a long time so I practiced all the time. This time, I was able to write songs and it was good.

>Someday, do you want to write your lyrics in Japanese?
Jonghyun: I would like to challenge someday. But, first of all I should practice Japanese. (Laughs)
Onew: Yeah. I want to learn and be good at Japanese quickly.

> I catch what you said well!
Onew: Just a little (self-conscious laugh)

> Please explain other recorded tracks from the album.
*TALK TO YOU
Taemin: In the album, there’s a story and this song starts to decorate the album.
*HIT ME
Onew: A lover plainly depicted a man feeling anxious for not being able to communicate his feelings well. The more you listen to the song, the more you will like the song.
* SENORITA
Key: This song has an exotic feeling and unique melody. The intro’s rap was Spanish. I studied and did my best. (Laughs)
*PLEASE, DON’T GO
Jonghyun: An orthodox group ballad which until now is not been heard. Onew and I sing a duet together. It’s good to listen before you go to sleep.
*ROMEO + JULIETTE
Minho: Tune that finishes off the end of the story. I think each member’s voice respectively showed their personality.

“Very touched by their noona’s support”
> From now on, please let me hear your impression about Japan.
Taemin: I was deeply touched when many fans came to the airport although it was my first time to come to Japan. From now on, I think we should show more SHINee’s image to the Japanese fans in the future.
Onew: Also in the event, Our Noona fans were like a young girl with pure feelings passionately supported us and I was really touched.
Minho: This time, our stage was only one time but I would like to do again..

> What places where would you like to go and eat around Japan?
Jonghyun: I would like to go to Tokyo Disneyland so much. I like noodles so I like to eat udon (thick white noodles) and ramen etc.
Key: I would like to go to Odaiba, Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan. I like to eat okonomiyaki (meat seafood and vegetable pancake)
Minho: I would like to challenge Japan’s simple meal served before a ceremonial tea. I also like to go to Tokyo Dome.

>It’s good if someday you’ll have a live in Tokyo Dome!
All: OH! (Claps)
Onew: If were able to do live surrounding with such amazing staff members, I would like to challenge everywhere in Japan.

>What are your targets in the future?
Onew: I want to become an existence that everyone will imagine SHINee to be contemporary. We will do our best so please support us!

Such Amazing ! SHINee legend
1. They swept the rookie award immediately after debut.
May last year, In South Korea, they debuted at their first mini album “Noona, You’re so pretty”. After 1 month they won the rookie award. Thereafter, for only one year, they won 7 rookie awards! Not just music, they also appear in commercial and modeling and are now active. Suddenly they are included as one of the top stars. They are one of the hot stars now. Regardless in South Korea-Japan, they are not popular to the teens but also to the elder women.

2. The tickets to their first fan meeting were immediately sold out.
They are still newcomers here in Japan, rumors and music were passed the border and reached to Japan! The tickets to their first fan meeting and mini concert on August 10, in Nakano Sun Plaza were sold out. On the day of the event, about 2,200 fans got the premiere tickets and went widely exited. An additional decision was made and they will have their 2nd fan meeting in Japan on September 14 at Osaka Kousei Nenkin Kaikan Hall.
