Lee Jin Ki or Onew is the leader and oldest member of Korea Boy BandSHINee. Onew was discovered at the “2006 S.M. Academy Casting”. Onew collaborated with Lee Hyun Ji, former member of project group Banana Girl, for her song “Vanilla Love”. He was also featured in a duet, entitled One Year Later “1년 後”, with Girls’ Generation member Jessica for their mini-album Tell Me Your Wish.
Onew is the leader of Shinee. Alongside Jonghyun & Key he plays the role in being one of the lead vocals. From the reality show YunHaNamDul his gag ‘Onew Condition’ where he spaces out or does random things that make no sense in the situation he’s in - Shinee have made it an illness for him (lol) Onew condition has also been found to be contagious.
SHINee’s Onew gets Swine Flu and Onew Sangtae
The curse of the swine flu seems to have struck SHINee. Having only just reported hours earlier that Jonghyun had recovered fully from swine flu, it was reported now that SHINee’s leader, Onew has also been hit by it.
The announcement came at around 6pm on 7th November as it was reported that Onew had developed a gentle, mild fever last night. He was sent to the hospital today and tests have shown that he has contracted swine flu.
Onew has been prescribed Tamiflu and is now back home resting.
The other three SHINee members, Key, Minho and Taemin were also tested for precaution, and neither of them have shown any symptoms of the illness fortunately.
So that explains why SHINee wasn’t performing on Music Core as scheduled today.
So with Onew at home resting, it might look like SHINee will be performing as a 4-member group instead on the 8th November episode of Inkigayo. But it was revealed that Super Junior’s leader, Leeteuk will take the place of Onew for tomorrow.
Onew and SHINee ideal Girl
SHINee revealed their ideal girl types on Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate. Out of the five, Onew made the most surprising choice.
Onew said, "Lee Young Hyun (from Big Mama) is my ideal type. Starting at a young age, I loved listening to Big Mama's Resignation. Her voice is so nice. My ideal type is someone who has a nice voice and soft hands and she fits into those categories."
I have to go with Onew on this one. Resignation is an amazing song, definitely a k-pop classic.
Minho's revealed, "I like Kim Tae Hee. She's smart, pretty and has a charming smile." For Jonghyun chose Han Chae Young, stating, "I saw her once at an awards show and she was so beautiful."
Lastly, Key expressed, "I like Kim Jung Eun. She's very pretty and honest." He rained on Kim Jung Eun's parade by adding, "When Lovers in Paris was on, I was in elementary school." He did a great job making her feel nice and old, eh?
Sadly, Taemin was not present but the rest put on an amazing show for everyone. I guess we can all speculate... maybe he's got requited feelings for Brown Eyed Girl leader Jea? Scandalous!
SNSD's Jessica and SHINee's Onew Get Together on single "One Year Later"
SNSD's Jessica and Shinee's Onew performed on MBC's 'Music Core' on August 1. The song they performed together is 'One Year Later,' which is included in SNSD's second mini album.
'One Year Later' is a song about two lovers that break up over a trivial matter and then happen to see each other a year later.

He was accepted into both YG & JYP Entertainment, but chose to take the path of JYP in his final decision.
Kim Junsu is the older member of the group after Park Jaebom.
Kim Junsu of 2pm could easily be confused by the Xiah Junsu of DBSK. He graduated from KyungHee Cyber College. His specialties are singing, composing, and being fashionable

Kim Junsu and Thai girl
Apparently, a Thai girl has been spreading news that she and 2PM’s main vocalist, Kim Junsu are together or at least Junsu was courting her. The relationship happened, according to sources, when 2PM went to Thailand to promote their album in the said country.
Here’s my take on the subject. I think these are fabricated lies by the girl. She’s spreading these so called news to arouse the public’s interest on her. As much as I want to believe her, I just cannot imagine how a relationship could blossom considering the circumstances.
I know Kim Junsu does not speak and understand that much English as seen in their MTV Iggy backstage video. I also don’t think he knows Thai enough to start or to be on a conversation. At least by himself. So how can there be sparks if there’s no communication? The Thai girl seems cute but Kim Junsu seems not the type to base his relationship solely on looks.
And after the things she have said and done for the past few days, I honestly feel she’s just using Kim Junsu and 2PM to gain some attention. 2PM is the hottest Korean group in Thailand right now. I think her facebook rant is just so silly. It just shows how kind of a person she is.
Kim Junsu is sweet, sensitive and shy
The lead vocalist of the group, expresses his love for his parents, how he doesn’t want people to think he smells, & what the first website he goes into when he gets on the computer. (He goes on Seoulbeats! Crazy right? Ok, im jk but that would be dope.)
Kim Junsu singing Lee Eun Mi's song "I Have a Lover"
2PM's Kim Junsu (Jun.K) has been garnering much attention.
With the recently released video of Junsu singing his own jazz version of Lee Eun Mi's song "I Have a Lover" with his friend, netizens are buzzing like bees. On Daum TVpot and other video entertainment sites, where the videos were uploaded, netizens have been praising Junsu saying that his singing "gave them goosebumps" and expressed their shock in that his voice is "far better than they expected."
Step aside Xiah Junsu, there's a new Junsu in town! Just kidding Cassies, don't kill me.
And that's not all - Recently on KBS 2TV "Match! We Love Songs" where all seven 2PM members came on as guests, Junsu along with Junho, calling themselves the "Jun Brothers," they entertained and wowed the audience, singing songs of various genres from pop to trot. They have been receiving warm interest and were even named "The King of Songs."
Fans warmly expressed, "Junho's singing score is 10 points out of 10," and that, "whether it be pop or trot, Junsu's voice complies with it all."
We all knew Junsu was great at singing, but honestly, none of 2PM's songs give him any justice. But hopefully for 2PM's next album or single, which is planned to be released in the Fall, they will have some ballads that will show everyone just really how good they are at life.

Lee Junho is probably the most underrated idol in the list. I mean if he is in another group, I’m sure he’ll be the leader and the one fans would be cheering on. He’s always behind Jaebeom talent wise and Nichkhun popularity wise.
Junho was first known by the public as the winner of Superstar Survival. The show started with 12 teens and as the weeks goes by, they were eliminated one by one until three are left. Somewhat reminiscing of Survivor. Along with Chansung and Taec, the show intended to find potential artists that could be part of the JYP family. During the show, Junho was perceived as the cocky naive teenager. From what I’ve read, a lot of fans of the show were rooting for someone else at the finale. Someone posted the episodes but it wasn’t subbed. I hope madam2pmsub or time2sub will work on the show.
He then became part of JYP’s project group Hotblood which eventually became One Day which is then split into 2am and 2pm. Mnet even did a show about them. I honestly didn’t like the show that much. It wasn’t entertaining for me unlike Wonder Girls MTV introductory show.
In interviews, Junho has always stated that his forte is dancing. It’s actually obvious since he’s the only one who can actually keep up with Jaebeom. But I think his singing isn’t that bad. He is one of the few idols who can actually sing and dance at the same time. The first time I noticed his singing was when he and Junsu guested in a singing program. He sang Suhsi by Shin Sung Woo. That was a very difficult and high song but he pulled it off. He really pulled it off. He has a very nice tone in his voice seriously. Wooyoung and Kyu Hyun has one too. I don’t know much about singing but I know when I a guy is singing well.
Personality-wise, he has this cocky attitude as I said before. It’s honestly refreshing to have an idol like that. I think this is also what makes 2pm unique. Other idols are shy or conserved because they don’t want to tarnished their idol image. 2pm has changed that completely.
Someone commented that I should explain how I got the list the way it is. On Junho, the first elimination was meant to list down idols who actually have talent to show. I picked Junho because his dancing and singing are above average. He got through the 2nd and 3rd elimination because he does have this ‘it factor’. I can’t put it into words but there’s something about him that you would wanna see more. I don’t know if I’m writing it right but there’s just something there.
Between Lee Jun Ho, Rain, and FTI’s Minhwan
They say three’s a charm… But when you put Rain, Lee Junho and Choi Minhwan in one mix, it’s the complete concoction for perfection.
2PM’s Lee Junho has always been known to have a strong resemblance to Rain. But his talent goes more than just his looks. When I first saw the live performance of 2PM’s second single “Only You,” it was Junho who stood out the most. Jay is my fave but I think he was the most stable singer-and-dancer—because he was moving smoothly, doing acrobatics and all while still displaying stable vocals. Being rookies that they were, some of them still looked a bit awkward, like for instance, resident cutie Khun seemed a little like a deer-in-headlights during his part of the song. Back then he still needed to work on his facial expressions, so did Wooyoung who was concentrating so much on his dance moves. Nevertheless “Only You” was a great song and it’s great to see 2PM’s huge improvement since then. But Junho, in my opinion has always been real good, it was as if he was performing his whole life!
