SHINee and f(x)’s Victoria get classy and sexy for ‘High Cut’

SHINee and f(x)‘s Victoria had fans doing a double take as they took on a classier image for their latest ‘High Cut‘ pictorial!
SHINee effortlessly pulled off the ‘handsome male idol’ concept with their suits and ties, yet leaving their chests bare foregoing their shirts. Minho & Victoria also became the ultimate eye-candy couple with their back hug pictorial that left fans awed at their visuals, while also a bit jealous.
The labelmates who’ve known each other since their debut also opened up about the changes they’ve noticed in each other through the interview. Victoria shared, “When I look back, they’ve all become more mature. At the time, all of the members seemed like cute dongsengs but they’re men now.” SHINee also revealed Victoria’s transformation as they said, “Victoria used to only able to say ‘Hello, I am Victoria’, but she can speak Korean so well now. This is the power of broadcasts.”
Taemin also revealed the group’s intense workouts for the 'Dream Girl' choreography, “Prior to learning the choreography, we worked on our stamina. The choreographer would make the hyungs do a warm up with push ups saying, ‘You have to do this in order to carry out the choreography’, and we did 100 push ups daily.”
Minho reflected on how they changed since their debut sharing, “We’ve worked on becoming more comfortable on stage. When I look at our videos at the start of our debut, I look at us and think we’re cute.” Key added, “I can’t get myself to watch those videos. I start to feel the anxiety I used to feel before going on stage telling myself, ‘You can’t mess up. You have to perform well.’”
Unfortunately it seems Jonghyun was also absent from this pictorial due to his nose injury. We hope to see him back soon towards the latter half of SHINee’s promotions at least for their upcoming album, which will be revealed on the 29th.

2nd teaser photo from Juniel ~


Juniel is continuing to building up excitement for her return by now unveiling her second teaser photo!
The singer hints that there’s a fun song up ahead with her fun concept photo, in which we see her taking a ride on a shopping cart.
It’s already obvious that Juniel has made a complete transformation in terms of style, so there’s much interest in seeing how her music has changed this time around.
She’ll be releasing her title track “Pretty Boy” along with her third mini album ‘Fall in L‘ on the 25th, so stay tuned for that, and make sure to attend her ‘Pretty Boy Party’ event (at which F.T. Island's Hongki & CNBlue will make appearances) taking place on the same day, if you happen to be in Korea!

SHINee will release album online on 26th ~~ \m/


You’ll be getting your dose of SHINee sooner than expected as the online album release and MV teaser dates have been announced!
The group’s third album’s second half, which is titled ‘Why So Serious? – The Misconceptions of Me‘, will be released online on the 26th, rather than the previously mentioned date of the 29th! The offline release will actually be taking place on the 29th.
But if that still feels too far away for you, you’re in luck as the boys will be unveiling their MV teaser for the title track, “Why So Serious?” on April 22nd. The song is said to be a dance track that will be accompanied by a powerful performance that will show you a bit of a different side to the group than “Dream Girl” stages.
As mentioned before, the boys will promote as four members in the beginning due to Jonghyun’s injury, and it’s said he’ll be joining them after his treatments have been completed.
Stay tuned for more details coming up later!
