SHINee of SM entertainment only debuted over a month or two ago and they’ve already got their batch of dedicated fans. In the form of noonas. This is old news and not unexpected since of course their first single is titled, “Noona is so pretty”.

They consist of leader Onew (19), Junghyun (18), Minhoo (17), Key (17) and Taemin (15). *Korean age*. The 5 boy idol group were originally aimed at the 20-30 ‘noona’ market and its obvious that its hard for the older women to resist their appeal. With plenty of noona fans found hanging around after performances to catch a glimpse of the cute younger men, I mean boys.

“over 90% of our fans are noonas.” Leader Onew mentioned. “The age gap is large, but the fans mostly see us as younger siblings.”

Since of course they are ‘noona’ fans, (which are basically older female fans as opposed to the younger girl fans, who are busy supporting groups like DBSK, Super Junior and Big Bang),

SHINee benefits from them more, as they are more likely financially independent.

Apparently the current Korean craze of younger men liking older women, goes the other way round.
