Eunhyuk had been one of the male partners BoA had danced with during her promotions for the song “Only One“. He revealed, “As time passed, the issue was focused more on the level of skinship more than the choreography. Yunho went so close their faces almost touched, and Taemin would stroke her hair for the part where their hands met.
Eunhyuk confessed that he had to do something that would not get buried by Yunho and Taemin. He said, “I was determined that I was going to kiss her on ‘Inkigayo.’ I felt like there would be no issue otherwise.” When he told BoA this, she had laughed and said, “Do it if you can.
However, on the actual stage, Eunhyuk failed to give her a kiss. He explained, “When the performance on stage finally came around, I tried to perform skinship with BoA. However, her headset mic was too close to her lips. In the end, I couldn’t kiss her because of the mic, and all I did was go awkwardly close to her face.
Check out the performance of “Only One” with Eunhyuk below.

I’m going to become a bigger person to protect my family. I love you“, and embraced his mother with a hug.
Park In Young expressed her worry for her little brother and said, “I learned that my little brother was going to enlist through an article I read in the morning. I felt weird and I cried.

"SHINee's Tokyo Photo Diary" Interview in ELLE Girl Japan



SHINee's Tokyo Photo Diary

The popular boy group, SHINee made a comeback for this magazine. What will happen if we give them cameras...!?

It was a day in October. The 5 member boy group SHINee came to the studio in the city. SHINee are now graced with a manlier aura in comparison to the SHINee we met a year and half ago, when the group made their first appearance in ELLE Girl. It's no wonder that their Japanese skill largely improved, as they've been traveling around Japan from spring to summer this year for their Japan Arena Tour. They are becoming widely known but are still the same friendly people.

"We've been back and forth between Japan and Korea countless times and I've also had my favorite ramen just as many times!" (Taemin)

"A Japanese friend who is living in Korea has been teaching me the Japanese language. Somehow I just can't get myself to remember the honorific words! (laugh)" (Jonghyun)

The concept for the photoshoot this time is 'Tokyo Photo Diary'. Each of the members received a camera, then were instructed to take pictures of each other. Similar to how we've been aware of their closeness, they began getting excited to take each others' pictures. Minho, who had just finished his drama shooting, especially expressed, "It's been a long time since I met the members!" He was so cheerful that it left quite an impression♪. Speaking of photos, Key is most likely to be the best at displaying great sense no matter what is given to him, yet...

"Recently my mother gave me a handy-cam as my birthday present. So now I'm actually more into taking videos than pictures. I've been recording most of the time, enough for [the footage] to be called a SHINee documentary. Since too much [footage] of our candid selves is recorded, it has become a treasure that probably can no longer be displayed publicly. (laugh)" (Key)

They released a Japanese original single, 'Dazzling Girl', last month. To honor their single, we asked about what kind of girl they think is dazzling.

"The one who does her best in her work." (Jonghyun)

"If I were talking to a girl and suddenly found that we have something in common, then I'd see her as dazzling. Her face would look different right away!" (Key)

"The one with an aura!" (Onew)

"A girl who would like me. Also, I might be attracted to perfume too." (Minho)

"Am I the only one who thinks that girls who are about to get married somehow look really beautiful?" (Taemin)

Photos that they took are scheduled to be revealed to the public through the internet later so please look forward to it!

SHINee Exclusive! Photoshoot Report @ELLEgirl

SHINee reappeared in this magazine! The story behind the scene of the photoshoot is being revealed.

SHINee, who released their first Japanese original single 'Dazzling Girl' on October 10th, are now back in ELLE Girl after a year and half. They ventured outside the studio with a 'Tokyo Photo Diary' concept. Our plan was to have the five of them taking each others' pictures. While they carried out the plan, we at ELLE Girl followed them closely in a documentary-like style and managed to get a lot of stories on their natural expressions♪ "Since we've always been together, we're especially good at taking each others' pictures!" Just as Jonghyun described, the members expressed their excitement throughout being able to act as both photographers taking pictures and models having their picture taken. While Key was looking for the right angle to make Minho's already-long legs look longer, Taemin was absorbed in taking his own photos (laugh). Onew was not only taking photos of the members, but also photos of the scenery and the staff as well... For more on this unique photoshoot session, please refer to the main magazine.

The photoshoot session was done on the rooftop of a studio in the city. The moment all five of them received their cameras, an intense photo session started and became chaotic. We quickly rearranged the structure to put the SHINee members in pairs and restarted the session!! (laugh)
