 SHINee’s Key Shows Off His Special Eye Trick

As all idol stars are required to have at least one personal talent, SHINee’s Key revealed one that he was sure no one could do.




On March 11, SHINee appeared on Mnet’s The Beatles Code where Key said he had a special talent that he’s been working on for a long time. 

Revealing it for the first time, Key said, “I can move my eyeballs freely”
He then proceeded to show it, making one eyeball go one way, while the other stayed in the other direction. Whenever became surprised, Key add that he recently mastered the talent, receiving the MC’s approval. 




When the other members tried to do it, Onew, who said he probably couldn’t do it, ended up successfully moving his eyes freely as well, making Key end up with a very empty feeling inside. 


SHINee’s Key Would Become a Dog for His Girlfriend

If he ever falls deep in love, SHINee Key said he could even become a dog for his special lady.


On March 4’s broadcast of KBS’ Hello, SHINee appeared as guests to hear out the worries of the citizens. 

One particular mother came out with the worry that her daughter will never get married because of her intense obsession with dogs. The mother explained that whenever the daughter goes on dates, the only thing she talks about is her dogs and she has broken up with many boyfriends because of dogs. 



After hearing the story, SHINee was asked what they would do if their girlfriends said they can’t get married unless the dog lives with them. Key replied, “I also really like dogs.”

“If my girlfriend really liked dogs to that point, I would start trying hard to appear like a dog,” said Key. I’m confident that I can become a dog.”

When Minho later asked the daughter if she can leave the dogs behind to go on a date with him, the daughter answered yes without hesitation, momentarily solving the problem.

Injured Himchan Joins B.A.P at Fansigning Event


Benched for all of One Shot promotions due to an injured hand, B.A.P’s Himchan surprised fans when he reunited with his members at a recent fansigning event.




On March 3, B.A.P held a fansigning in front of YP Books at Gimpo Airport at around 7:20 PM. 

Only 150 fans participated in the actual fansigning after being picked through lottery, but what felt like a thousand fans from all around the world came and surrounded the area, as they struggled to get a glimpse of the B.A.P members. 




Present at the event with the B.A.P members was Himchan, with his hand in a cast and arm sling. As he couldn’t sign with his right hand, he was given a special stamp with his signature etched on to use. Despite his injury, Himchan kept a bright smile on his face and held casual conversations with each fan that passed by. 

After the event was done, the B.A.P members thanked fans for coming. 

[Star of the Week] Which B.A.P Member Was the Cutest Baby?


The B.A.P members may be gun-toting badasses in their latest music video for One Shot, but they weren′t always so big and tough. 

We′ve seen the boys′ bad boy sides through B.A.P′s previous hits like Warrior and No Mercy, so we′re mixing it up this week and going way back to when they were tiny tots - and adorable ones at that. 

BABYs, we know this is a tough one, but we′ve rounded up the boys′ baby photos because we want to know: Which B.A.P member was the baddest baby?

FT Island’s Lee Hong Gi was also putting some time in at the studio, but he tweeted his frustration on March 3, writing “Ah, the melody really doesn’t want to come out today.”

We can read the frustration in his face thanks to the photo he included with the message.

In the magazine, the members are quoted to have said about their last Tokyo Dome concert together, "We were so sorry toward our fans.

Seyong, the team′s main dancer, danced to a hip-hop performance of Chris Brown′s Run It, and the crowd cheered as he lifted up the hat over his head and reached into every corner of the stage. Near the end of his time onstage he ripped off his black shirt to reveal his bare chest, getting fans to scream out at the sight of his muscular body and perfect six pack.
