What does SHINee mean to me?

Once one has brought an umbrella, he will inevitably feel disappointment unless he continues to bring the umbrella. He will feel disappointment when it rains the day he doesn’t bring the umbrella.

My umbrella isn’t enormous, but it’s enough to shield me from the rain. It’s not infallible, but it’s enough to make me feel safe. It’s not fancy; no one can really see my umbrella because no one needs to see my umbrella, but when I don’t bring it, I feel the insecurity and void of emptiness—what if it rains, what if it storms?

I know that it will always rain, so I need to forever keep my umbrella. I know that it’ll hold my hand and protect me in every way it can.

SHINee is that umbrella in my life.

Maybe I will find love one day and he will be my umbrella too, but never will SHINee be replaced.

SHINee is my umbrella forever timelessly. That’s their meaning to me, to which I can only say—thank you.

SHINee, what do you mean to me?

Sunshine

      You make me smile when the skies are gray. Seeing you laugh and have fun; even during the lowest and saddest parts of my life, you cheer me up. Your music is what made me feel special and loved.

Hope

      There are times that I feel like I just want to give up and throw everything away. But when I hear your angelic voices, I feel lightened up, I feel strong enough to stand up again; it seems like you have been reminding me that there’s always a tomorrow to look up to; you gave me hope.

Insipiration

      You always worked your hardest and pushed yourselves to your limits, having sleepless nights, unending practices and promotions all-over the globe, yet you still give us priceless smiles. We see how much pure and passionate you are. You are true people and you guys inspire me.

Noble Princes

      I admire everything in every member. I adore how your eyes sparkle, your lips curve into a smile. You are the prince-charming everyone is dreaming to have. You are perfect in every way, inside and out.

Euphoria

      Every time I hear your voices, laughter, witness your smiles, see you in shows and gaze at those happy and contented faces, you make me feel insanely happy.

Everything

      I don’t know what will be of me if I haven’t known you. You are what made the best of me right now. I can’t last a day without taking a glimpse of your faces and hearing your songs. You are my life now, SHINee. You are my everything.

I will happily look at you receive the spotlight from afar and support you until the end. I am your one, true, pearlescent sky blue Shawol, forever and always. I love you with all my heart.

Dear SHINee,

To me, Shinee means more than world to me. I cannot describe how much they mean to me in word or any shape or form. They are like my brother that I have never met, but seem to always be there to comfort me. I love each and every member and how they are all dedicated to go for their dreams and never give up. Even though they are guys, they are my role model. I cannot be more happy for them they are achieve something great, or when they are happy. 

Dear (to whoever it may concern),

Giveaway Entry- What SHINee Means To ME <3. 

I got into K-Pop only this year and before this year I had never taken one GOOD look at any Kpop artists. I was shopping one day and I saw etude house and SHINee’s endorsed products and the lady saw me looking and told me they sang really well. I wasn’t convinced but I searched up SHINee on youtube and clicked on the Sherlock MV and BAM I was stuck under their spell. Honestly it takes a lot for me to become obsessed with a person/group and SHINee just PULLED ME STRAIGHT IN. Their unique look and style just adds to my growing love for them and I will forever be a SHAWOL. ♥

What does SHINee mean to me.

SHINee means my world now. It has basically taken over everything! My family, friends don’t understand me at all.It sometimes is hurtful being called ‘crazy’ , ‘weird’ especially in school. I choose to ignore it because SHINee is too good for them to know.  I started this all back in the Summer of 2011, I  met this girl (not naming names) online. She was nice, then she started showing me SHINee and we were both new in the SHINee world so it was a good start. We watched Hello Baby together but one day she decided to act mean to me because i skipped ahead a few episodes before her. She  ended up removing me everywhere, facebook, msn, and more… And i can never forget that i lost a friend that day. SHINee made me smile, laugh, cry, and  gave me hope. There is also a strong reason why i love SHINee so much that if i think about it i can start to cry. SHINee has taught me to follow my dreams and hope. Before i knew SHINee i slacked off in school, now i improved my grades and became a better person. Ever since i was little i really wanted to perform as a singer or a dancer. I wanted to inspire somebody. My family always tells me ‘That is very difficult.’ But I will one day show my family that i can do it. I hope that day they will be proud of me. 

What does SHINee mean to me?

I am new to the Kpop world; I just started May 2011. My first song I listen to was Lucifer and fell in love with SHINee’s dance and singing skills. Over the year, I watched their music videos more than 30 times. They never disappoint me in different style of clothes because its great fashion for anyone teenagers to young adults. Every member in SHINee has something to bias about. Onew is the leader, which shows great leadership and has fun to his members. Jonghyun is not afraid to express feelings and has awesome singing skills. He wants me to go back to singing; improving my skills. Key is my ultimate bias, which is not afraid to express himself and is proud of who he is. I want to not be afraid to express myself. He is also proud of whatever style of fashion he puts on. Key can pull off with any style that is fashionable to him and I admire that. Minho is a member who looks manly with long hair and awesome rapper in SHINee. Finally to maknae, Taemin is the fun to express his young self. He became my 2nd bias to my list because of his determined dancing skills. He loves dancing so much that he stays improving what best for him. I want to be determined in what I do best in like Taemin. All of the SHINee members will always be my special Oppas in my heart. I will always be their Shawol fan forever and ever. Thank you for reading my story.

Dear SHINee,

When the first time I saw these 5 young boys, I immediately fall in love with them. I knew them since year 2009 when their song Lucifer came out. When I first watch the MV, the first thing came in my mind is “Wow, who are these boys? “. Their charismatic look and expression really blow my mind. The song and their faces seem to stuck on my mind. From that day on, I searched everything about them. Their real name, age, birthday and etc. I felt like a brand new me from that moment. I began to watch their variety shows which I was very anticipating about their personality. What shocks me is their real self! It seems so different from their charismatic looks in Lucifer. Their goofy and cute personalities. I just couldn’t believe that the boys of SHINee were actually that funny – but they are. They truly are. Be it Onew’s ‘condition’, Jonghyun and Key’s constant camera-hogging, Taemin’s childishness or MinHo’s randomness. It truly amaze me and at the same time, I’m totally happy because they don’t hide their real self from us, Shawol! One of the things I noticed right away when I started watching videos of SHINee was how eager they seemed. Eager, young, fresh-faced and smiley and it was just so refreshing! SHINee meant a lot to me. They are the door to the world of K-Pop! They are one of the first group which brought me to K-Pop! Dubu leader Onew, Magdoongie Taemin, Bling Bling Jonghyun, Flaming Charisma Minho and the Almighty Key. The group which just wouldn’t be the same without any five of them. Each of them got their own talents and charms, and everyone contributes something different and crucial to the group. They may not be perfect as nobody perfect, but they always do their best to achieve something which I salute them! I truly believe, they love us Shawol very much as much as we love them too! I’m a true Shawol and always will be one. Saranghaeyo SHINee! As conclusions, SHINee will forever be a part of my life as long I’m live. Even if I’m dead, my soul will support them. Thank you SHINee for everything! Happy 4th anniversary! =D Sincerely, Maine 

What does SHINee mean to me?

I’ve only been in the fandom for a year and half. But they still mean so much to me.
Back in 2010 I started loosing interest in almost everything. I wouldn’t watch TV, I wouldn’t do my homework. I wouldn’t even sing. (which is a big thing for me. I love singing.) I wouldn’t even download the latest American pop songs. I was also getting depressed.
I had just begun to realize that I never really had a family, since my mother had already moved out of my dad’s house, and I was being slightly forgotten in the households.

My friend got me into Kpop, and the first group was SHINee.
Immediately after a huge family argument, I made a split second decision. Trading 300+ american pop songs, for only 30 of SHINee’s songs.

I did do so. And turns out Best Place was able to calm me more than 21 Guns.

So within that one year span, SHINee became my life.

Just recently I attempted suicide.
Right before I put the knife up to my neck, I thought of these five boys. And how they would loose an incredibly loyal fan who stayed with them even though they disappeared from the markets for 5 months.  I thought of each of their smiling faces and how I wouldn’t see them again.
I went back to sleep that night after playing a whole bunch of their songs.
SHINee is my life. 

Dear SHINee,
