minho's cute in a way.

the people that come out in these music groups get younger and younger
or maybe im just getting older
everyone in Shinee are all really skinny haha
Minho still looks like he has that baby face.
its very adorable. rapper! ooo

Whoa he's tall.
omo he speaks english too?
like...Full english?
i only watched the MV twice actually so i should learn more about them i guess.
but Minho is really cute.
yay he raps!!!
and i wonder if the Strokes shirt is his..the strokes are awesome...if he likes the strokes he's going up even further in my list.
sweet_hk0206
i agree he looks skinny. but his baby face is cute!!!

KAT!!!
it's quite amazing right, the artistes nowadays can speak all kinds of languages. i think minho can speak eng and chi but not very fluently though. minho's the 1st person who caught my eye when i saw their MV! but the person who gave me the best impression just by looking at the photos is jh haha. minho raps, but other than that he hardly has any lines to sing and he never dances in the middle, no limelight on him at all. hardly.

rui
yea cause nikki got that picture mixed up, i just took that picture for her i didn't know who was who when i started this thread so i assumed it was correct. but no matter, i took out the predebut picture already(:

Sharm
I know i'm so jealous of these people who can speak all of these languages.
It's okay if Minho oppa can't speak perfect english. he's a rapper. SM always puts english in their raps and songs.
amazing thing is that he's so young to be able to speak 3 languages..
Minho's smile took me. I can't remember but in the MV his smile was the first one that I saw. it was so cute. it's okay if he's not in the limelight either. he'll get noticed.
yeah...JH is seriously...he's gorgeous.

minho's predebut picture, he looks different in long wavy hair.

i think minho oppa is not photogenic, but if you notice him in their MV and performances, he looks way cute and young when he smiles. i really want to hear minho oppa speak english and chinese now you've mentioned. i wonder if their eng will be as good as BB's. members of bands from SM, if you're a rapper you're probably the worst vocalist in the group. yea minho and jonghyunnie has to be my favourites what bout you. minho oppa should get more lines seriously.

looks like we're the only ones here

Sharm
haha Minho's predebut looks like minhwan's
I like the long wavy hair though it's cute on him.
Minho oppa poor boy doesn't get quite as much attention as the others...he should be getting more parts soon. I mean..the group is pretty R&B..and there's always lots of raps in SM music. Even if oppa ends up not having a good singing voice, he should get more parts if he's the rapper.
Ah i want to hear him speak english and chinese too! it's still too early for there to be much random videos of him..
umm..i think that at this point key oppa is my favorite but i also like minho oppa and jonghyun so i dunno

HE LOOKS NICE IN THE LONG WAVY-ISH ASHBROWN HAIR =O<333

another predebut piccie!
from his yearbook xD


he looks so cute

u know what..he reminds me of kihyun..ahah..from battle.
w/ those big pretty eyes

HOW MINHO GOT CASTED:
* Minho got street casted. Since he was young, he loved to show people his talent and his dream to become a singer was very big."

minho looks hot in black

i still can't believe he did modelling before debut, at such a young age too.



kat
minho's predebut looks like minhwan cause of the curly hair. the picture is kind of dark and small i couldn't really see his face clearly and up close. Yea, minho doens't get as much attention he should definitely have more parts, even more lines to sing will do alot. there's always raps in korean music nowadays. you're like me, i adore only minho, jonghyun and key oppas<3

Sharm
yeah but he's cute with curly hair.
i hope he gets more parts to do. anything to get him more attention from the media. The worst case would be if he were treated like yesungie oppa was when sj first debuted.
But he's been aired on TV early, so I don't think Minho oppa has that problem
I'm not really that surprised that he's modeled..i mean..he's so tall and slim. perfect for modeling but yeah he was really young so i'm amazed at that.
wow..i give him so much credit for being able to walk down the whole runway like a robot the whole time. that must've been hard...

minho can be so hot at time

add on to the collection of minho pictures this thread needs to move!

credits as tagged + naver

did minho got a haircut? i think he looks so much better with this current hairstyle. i dont know why, but i have tis problem with guys having bangs.
i forgot to mention his side profile is mesmerizing but somehow he still have this child-like look, not yet a grown up man

kat
curly hair? i couldn't recognise him in that picture at all, until i saw his name in hangul written across that picture. No, don't compare him with yesung! i hate yesung. minho's not that bad i'm sure he definitely has fans, just not as much. SHINee has only 5 members compared to SUJU, naturally minho will have more screen time and attention if you compare yesung and him. Yea minho was on tv already before they debut but no one know who he is. No one even knows he modelled for various well known brands until the information was released. Minho does have the figure for a model. He's so young and tall already. dang. i wonder what he eats, it's something that jonghyun lacks.

oli
it does look as if minho got a cut, but i don't think so. His hair is kind of short, nothing much to cut. Only his fringe is all down, in the other photoshoots part of his fringe are styled to one side and the rest goes straight down. do i make sense? minho's smile is charming, my favourite member(: he's not even a man yet! He's born in the same year as me, but older. So according to the western calendar he's only 16!!! And, he debut at such a young age, when will he do his army?

taemin solo - sukira pics

sharm: okay.i think i kinda mixed up minho and taemin for some reason. gah. i used to think both of them look alike. but after much investing time on them. they really look different!
minho is like so much taller isnt he too tall for his age?
i know he is younger than me, ahhh ihave to admit im really old now
army? he is still far from there!

well he may not as cute as da others but he's such an adorable kid..n his dance skills r good...hehehe...alas...they all too young...hahaha..i'm older than them...but i still love their music despite the young age..

MINHOOOO
he looks cute as a girl ;D

hey guys, i'm ella, a brand new shinee fan,
who's falling head-over-heels for precious minho (:
he caught my eye with his charismatic personality and dazzling smile.
it's nice to meet you all!

Only Minho topic thing is still on blue. Lol
I cant believe how tall he is. He's only a year older than me too!

The first gif of Minho looks cute. Omona!
And his big eyes.
I was only watched School of Rock today adn when he went out of the room they said he had big eyes and looked like an anime character. Lol
And it was funny (their reality show im talking about now ) when they were doing karoke while Taemin was on his date and they pointed the mic so Minho could sing and he just stood there and didnt sing, lol.

heres some iple pix of minho:

I don't know why but I fall for his gentle eyes. It's so... errr... reassuring?? And he's soooo quiet. Maybe a lot of fans don't like him being like that. But I think it makes him cool.

omg wat a ccol TS sharmy!!!!

ahhh of course he was street casted, hes too attractive no1 could not pay attention to him

ah jeee i knew he was tall but didnt know he was 181 O_O!!

omg isnt he adorableeeeee in here?

eek wasnt that a ciggie hes holding O.o?

man i wish he were born 3 years earlier...

The Amigo MV is out and all Minho fans should watch it! There's plenty of screen time for him and there's a nice closeup of his eyes in the beginning. Minho might not have the biggest eyes, but i think his eyes are awesome! They're full of tian (electricity)! *gushes like a fangirl*

AMIGO MV

^ Oh yes, I love MinHo after seeing him run after the girl. Wish that girl was me!

By the way, MinHo is a really sweet and considerate guy. I was watching their reality show and he was really sweet to the noona who picked him; no wonder she cried! Though he is not as noisy as Key or JongHyun or as cute as TaeMin, his quietness and seriousness really draws people. I wished he speaks more though.

MinHo has his own charisma that is not easily defined by words (:
But he definitely needs to talk more. The most i've heard him say was in this video: MinHo talks about TaeMin

It sounded kinda wrong at the end, hahas. But it's nice to know how much MinHo cares for Taemin

Yup, you know that he really cares a lot for TaeMin. He was really concerned when TaeMin went on his first date with the noona, even though he didn't say anything. But I think TaeMin understood by looking into his eyes...

Haha, they are so close that Onew had to pull TaeMin away from MinHo and his date...LOL that was so cute!

wow my son taemin and minho are so close... wonder if minho wanna be taemin's dad anytime soon... haha

btw i dont really follow groups' variety shows that much... ive only watched those ones of Super Junior and never had time to watch anything else... but reading what you guys wrote about MinHo's date with the noona is tempting...

can someone please link me to minho worth-watching clips especially the one of minho being considerate to the noona that clesias mentioned much appreciated!!!

oh and comment on Amigo's MV... i wasnt much a fan of MinHo's looks in here, i guess i just prefer him looking quiet and shy haha. he looked quite mean in the mv

Kathy: Finally, you come in here and we can start fan-girling over MinHo (and we don't have to annoy the other members at the other thread..LOL)

Here you go! I'll just post the episodes in which he meets the noona that picked him.
Episode 7 Part 1
Episode 7 Part 2
Episode 7 Part 3
Episode 8 Part 1
Episode 8 Part 2
Episode 8 Part 3

You will really love these two episodes because MinHo is such a sweetie with the noona. And his acting

I will probably post up the episode in which this noona was really mean to him but he still treated her nicely soon.

Hold on! When is Min Ho's birthday? I remember I was told that he was born on 9th December (same as me, that's why I remembered), but the first post stated 12th September? Even the main thread stated 9th December...

Ah athletic boy! I love to see how Min Ho ran and ran in AMIGO MV. He's freaking tall but I think he still looks extremely good when he dances and runs, which normally people don't think tall people look good doing that. And Min Ho is so photogenic! There is sure a huge modeling future for him if he considers it, and if he fattens up a little bit... I heard that he loves working out! Too bad, being muscular doesn't seem to be in accordance to SHINee's concept...

You know how almost every group has a member who is called the charismatic one? In my opinion, I think Min Ho is the best representative of a charismatic member because he fits all kinds of descriptions and definitions of "charisma"!

^ It's 9th December; I saw it in SHINee International Forum.

His long legs really did him well when he was running! LOL, his working out really paid off even though he doesn't mind to work out. Luckily MinHo is selected as MV lead because I don't think the other members wouldn't like all the running You're right in saying that he can be model. Didn't he start off as a model? There was one designer who said that MinHo's pictures doesn't need to be photoshopped because he is so handsome and he looks good in whatever he wears.

I don't want to get started on his charisma because I don't know when I'll end so I'll just show a video in which his charisma can kill people!

^ hahahhahaha cleo!!!!

that was sucha weird clip hahaha. i was like WTH does this clip lead to? hahaha. okay i get it...

i dunno hey, as much as i loveee MH, id rather just look at his pix, or watch him perform... something about his speaking make it really dull to watch lol... probably his monotonous-ness... but woahhh his eyes are sooo big!

and erm, wasnt 12 Sep key's bday, not minho's haha

Kathy: LOL I thought the clip was stupid too and MinHo was less charismatic in this clip. There were other clips in which there was some serious MinHo hotness...

I'm really opposite of you. I don't really like his pictures cause...I also don't know why. But I just love him on screen or moving, especially when he gives the sharp look or smile. I know you don't like it when he glares...

good thing thread is moving...
well minho is really gud in rapping...
he looks great at the mv...
non stop running...
woah....

Aahaha... The video that clesias posted was so funny! MinHo looked charismatic (and hot) in some shots. And Onew looked cool playing the baddie

I think MinHo's most charismatic feature are his eyes!I have a screen shot of his eyes close up from the Amigo MV. They're definitely full of tian (electricity)

And he looks rather dorky (in a cute way) with glasses on!

Thanks Zhen_sshi for the pictures! I love those pictures because I love his shirt, so colorful and he looks so cute just standing there with his luggage. Caught! Isn't he supposed to stand behind the yellow lines? He's standing on them instead!
A few of us (at least me) will be here to stay so come in more often!

*gasps* YOU! YOU! YOU TOPPED A PAGE! AHHHH, and you didn't even give me a chance to top the page, you Onew lover! Haha...at least he no longer have just a 1 page thread!

It wasn't the funniest one but they were right in saying that Flaming Charisma MinHo can defeat Onew..LOL but's funny that they only repeated two spells and it was the wrong one (at least wrong from HP aspect). I love his deep voice! MinHo, you are cut out for acting! Please get him a drama, manager! Yup, his eyes! It's so arhhhhh...MinHo, I know you are Flaming Charisma but you gotta stop melting me with your eyes! Even his members can get attacked by his "dian" eyes...LOL

OMG dorky MinHo! I have never seen him being dorky before! He's usually the bad boy or the cool one when SHINee acts in one of their ridiculous skits.

Here's a video where MinHo looks so suave: 081106 M! CountDown Ranking: SHINee (Bethoven Virus)


His smirk is absolutely hot! (anticipates all MinHo fans melting)
Onew is so cute here! (almost like a Onew condition)
Taemin's smile is so bright and pure! His and Onew's shocked face is soooo funny.
JongHyun looks defiant and sexy here!
And Key's hyper at the end, when he throws the conductor's baton into the air. LOL.

Did you notice a continuity error in the video? Key's jacket is off his shoulder for like 2 seconds at 2:19 - 2:20, when he's talking to JongHyun. And in the next scene, it's back on again! Hahas

Your heart become tofu because of Onew condition and my heart is now all lava-ey because of Flaming Charisma MinHo!

Yes! I love that video because MinHo is darn hot and sexy as the bad boy! The perfect epitome of "girls loving bad boys"! AHHHHHHHH...his arrogant eyes and smirk! Wonder when he will act as himself? A considerate and loving gentleman?

Hidden Text:

JongHyun is definitely sexy as the defiant genius. I actually thought that the string of words he said that cause Key to faint was rubbish! And Onew was strumming his imaginary harp! I love his shocked face. Key was usual being his bunny Key.

There was another funny M! Countdown Ranking video that really kills me just by seeing MinHo's charisma. But I shall wait for SHINee subs to set up their streaming websites and link the video with the Eng subs. I can't wait to show you guys!


MinHo is such a sweetie! I don't know who was choking (either Onew or Key) but MinHo's blank expression is really funny! You can tell that he is concerned and really sweet to the person but he doesn't show anything on his face.

And JongHyun is too absorbed in WonderGirls' performance to notice anything!

20 facts about MINHO

1. “Hello everyone, I am SHINee’s Flaming Charisma Minho. I have to talk for more than a minute? What can I say? One minute is too long!”

2. “Minho looks like a main character of a manga” (ONEW) “He is a living existence of selfishness!” (KEY) “When I first saw him, I thought “Ah! So handsome! Especially the eyes!” (JONGHYUN)

3. Has no concept about money, no concept about taking care of his health, has no concept about maintaining handsome or not — Why waste so much energy thinking about this kind of things?

4. If he were to pick the most handsome pose, it would be just to stand there properly. What he is most confident of: not blinking for 3 minutes!

5. “I will buy our album this time too, and keep it as a personal collection.”

6. Feels happiest when he is on stage singing and dancing, really. When singing, he will persevere on to the very end, and when singing, he will imeerse himself into the song until the last note ends. If it is not his song, it is even easier for him to get involved, like “Rokkugo”.

7. An inquisitve baby, is curious about everything. If he doesn’t do anything then it is fine, but if he goes about doing something, he must do it to his best capacity, a perfectionist.

8. Does not talk usually, but hopes that the members can become closer amongst each other, to become “forever SHINee”.

9. “The album is really manly and wild, Minho!” “They said we are manly and wild…(looks at other members) Is that good?”

10. His ideal type just need to be of an average height, must definitely be kind at heart, have long hair, wears dresses frequently — Ah, will just secretly laugh when thinking about it.

11. When singing “Love like oxygen”, he thinks of his fantasy girl (embarassed)

12. Sits upright and listens attentively on screen, but plays crazily off screen, occassionally will trip over the stairs and will turn back and glare at the stairs.

13. “Honestly, if I am a girl, the member from SHINee that I will definitely date is Taemin.”

14. Is good at doing everything, and is able to understand and analzye matters effectively — in reality, he is very aware if the people around him are comfortable or not — except when he is the camera PD: he still does not understand how to make the people in the scene stand properly.

15. “I have never seen a ghost, but I would like to see one.”

16. According to Taemin, Minho’s sleeping pyjamas is the cutest, but what is the pattern then? Flowers and grass? Animals? Hearts? It is unanswered.

17. “It shall be it then.” (catchphrase)

18. Does not have a personal talent. Does playing soccer counts? I am good at playing soccer, do you want to have a match someday?

19. Does not want to be hypocritical, refuses to be half hearted and insincere, if very straightforward in personality.

20. It’s not that he cannot be crazy, it’s not that he cannot lead, it’s not that he is not attracted to girls, you just to get hold of the that one single point that makes him interested and wait for him to give you a suprise.

Matters needing attention:

Fretting: The most boring part about him is when he is bored, but when the most exciting thing is when he starts to fret. If all his frettings show themselves, then this world would be very much interesting.

The X catalyst: Uses a lot of effort to try to extend the topic and directing the atmoshpere.

The O catalsyst: Bring a puppy to him and wait for him to say stuff like “It’s so cute, looking at it makes me feel happy”, when that happens, he will naturally talk more.

clesias:

^Wow where did all those facts come from? Some are really true about Min Ho, from what I have observed. I think him and me share some similar traits, considering we were both born on the same month and day. Typical Sagittarius baby...

I love the first fact. "One minute is too long!" I think he just needs time to warm up most of the time. Unless he meets somebody who could excite him, he would prefer to stay quiet. I can actually understand why he prefers to be a person of a few words; being quiet is also rather fun sometimes. You can drift into your own wonderful world... I think he has a lot of creative and unique thoughts in him, but he just does not want to express them. Perhaps he thinks it's unnecessary to do so. However, if you were to ask him to write his thoughts and feelings in a diary or journal, he could be very wordy. That's what I feel about him.

I am wondering if Min Ho is an only child, because if he is, it explains why he is usually so quiet, because he gets used to being alone and not talking to people.

I read somewhere that MinHo has an brother (can't remember whether older or younger). Since he usually a man of few words, he can just sit at the side and watch Key, JongHyun, and Onew's tactics. Like how he mostly sat at the side during the karaoke session in episode 5 of YunHaName (while TaeMin's first date was happening at the same time). After some time, they did get him to join them (probably after he has laughed quietly at their antics).

It's part of MinHo's charm to be quiet. I would love for him to speak up more, but I also love him for being silent

Both him and Onew are Sagittarius, but they're rather different. Onew has his Onew sangtae and bright smile, while MinHo has his electric eyes and silent charisma.

Ahh yes, MinHo, the man of few words. I actually think that whatever he says is wise and measured because he thinks a long time before he speaks. LOL, even the boys call him "the poet" and when he doesn't answer them, JongHyun says "give him a book!" so I agree with Aspire that he probably pours his thoughts and feelings into writing. The 20 facts should include that he loves reading

He is handsome no matter what he does or what pose he does!

Aww...MinHo, who is your fantasy girl?

12. Sits upright and listens attentively on screen, but plays crazily off screen, occassionally will trip over the stairs and will turn back and glare at the stairs.

Why is learning from leader Onew? And he has the cheek to glare at the stairs?

Hidden Text:

Actually I will do the same too...

MinHo is really good in soccer. Heck, as what Key said, "He is good in every sports that involves a ball." LOL...It's true that he is often in his own world, especially when he's with animals. In one episode of their reality show, he spends more time with the sheeps and the dog than with the noonas and his team members.

summerflake: No, if he acts as himself, the one in which he is considerate, gentlemanly and interested, he will be talking a lot so that he won't leave out the people around him like how he was talking to the first noona because he didn't want her to misunderstand him. Still no matter whether he talks or not, he will still be my love! Yup, he is used to his members choking, falling or doing stupid things so that's why he has such a blank expression. Still it was nice of him.

He has a brother? I think he looks more like a older brother because he takes care of his team members really well. But he sounds really fascinated at having TaeMin as his younger brother which makes me think that he has a older brother, taking care of him.

When he joined them in their K-singing, he did a jig which causes JongHyun to squat and cried with laughter. Seriously, he can do the most "Onew condition" things in the most unexpected situations.

I think Key said that because he looks so handsome. He was probably thinking that MinHo dominated the good traits from the gene pool. LOL


I thought this was really funny! It never occured to me MinHo would ask such a cute question. It seemed like something TaeMin or Onew would ask.

His info on the first page states he has an older brother. Come to think about it, during his radio segment (where he talked about TaeMin being the youngest), he did mention that he only knows what it feels like to be the youngest. In another way, I guess that's a reference to having an older brother.

haha i find these points sooooo interestingly true!! especially the one in bold


surprise surprise!! so hes a straight-forward, analytical, curious, inquisitive perfectionist (OCD ) eh? sounds JUST like me hahaha


haha the boy could be quite funny
