"Shinee (Korean: 샤이니, stylized as SHINee) is a contemporary R&B South Korean boy band that is comprised of five-members.[1] Formed by SM Entertainment in 2008, they made their debut on May 25, 2008 on SBS Popular Songs with their promotional single, "Nunan Neomu Yeppeo (Replay)" [누난 너무 예뻐 (Replay) lit. Older Sister, You're So Pretty]. The group consists of Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin" From Wikipedia.
Stage Name: Onew
Birth Name: Lee Jinki
Birth Date: 12/14/1989
Age: 19 American age, 20 Korean age
Position: Band Leader, Vocals, Dance
Personal Notes: Jinki is adorable, he's baby faced and sometimes it's hard to believe that he's actually 19. I love this about him though. He can act older than his age, but he has a tendancy to just let go and act like a kid. Being the oldest of SHINee, I think he sets a good example and I think he takes care of the other members well.
Stage Name: Bling Bling, Jonghyun
Birth Name: Kim Jonghyun
Birth Date: 4/8/1990
Age: 18 American age, 19 Korean age
Position: Lead Vocals, Dance
Personal Notes: Jonghyun has an INCREDIBLE voice. He has an amazing ability to hit the the notes that others wouldn't try. I love that he even sounds good live, whether it be in a radio station or singing to a pretty noona on their reality show.
Stage Name: Key *Because he likes to solve everything*
Birth Name: Kim Kibum
Birth Date: 9/23/1991
Age: 17 American age, 18 Korean age
Position: Vocals, Rap, Dance
Personal Notes: Kibum is the mom figure of SHINee. He has refered to Taemin as his son and always seems to be watching the other members as if they really were his. He has even said himself that he is the mom. Apart from that, he has a unique voice. His voice is like that of Xiah Junsu of DBSK. I love it, especially when he raps. And yet another thing I must say here, he has a wonderful personality. He tends to be the most flamboyant of the group and never ceases to put a smile on my face.
Stage Name: Minho
Birth Name: Choi Minho
Birth Date: 12/9/1991
Age: 17 American age, 18 Korean age
Position: Vocals, Dance, Rap
Personal Notes: Minho is the quiet one of the group. He's extremelly tall and he has, in my opinion, the nicest body in the group. I love his eyes, when he looks at someone he just has the kind of eyes that stare into you. Many people don't like him at first glance, I'll admit that I wasn't very attracted to him at first. Once you've seen more of him though...his true beauty begins to show. He really is an extremely good looking young man. I also love his voice, I don't know why but it reminds me of water. The way it just slides...it's so smooth.
Stage Name: Taemin
Birth Name: Lee Taemin
Birth Date: 7/18/1993
Age: 15 American age, 16 Korean age
Position: Vocals, Dance
Personal Notes: Taemin is the baby of the group but when he dances, you would NEVER know. He is powerful and smooth. When they first debuted, his vocals proved to be hiw weak point. But, over time his voice has started to strengthen. Lately he's been singing more and more, the stronger it gets the more I love it. One thing to note, he was fourteen when they debuted.
