Some skin exposure always works, as proven by Taemin who became a talking point at the SHINee World II press conference in Seoul, South Korea.
The five boys from Korean boyband SHINee met the media yesterday before their second show to share more on their new concert tour. xinmsn was one of the many Korean and international media present at the press conference and concert, upon invitation by Running Into The Sun (RITS).
Youngest member Taemin stole the limelight the moment he entered the room, dressed in a specially-designed top which revealed the right side of his upper body from the chest down.
Choosing to perform Korn's 'Get Up' for his solo stage to show his "inner side", one journalist jokingly asked if his costume was designed for that purpose too.
Taemin could not hide his embarrassment and explained that the outfit was brought over from their first Japanese arena tour. He elaborated on how he initially felt shy wearing the top, but has since gotten used to it.
However, now that he is back in Korea, he commented that "many Korean staff saw me in this and they were shocked, which made me shy again".
Having finished 20 shows in Japan, SHINee reflected on how much they have grown as Jonghyun said, 'Performing in front of so many fans, we learned how to give and take the energy from fans. The best thing is we learned how to enjoy the concert.'
SHINee also shared their love for their devoted Shawols (official name for SHINee fans), who drove them to tears the night before at the first show with special fan projects.
Leader Onew, who graded their concert last year with a whopping low 30/300, gave SHINee World II a passing grade of 150/300.
'This year we improved a lot, because we can communicate with the fans, the songs and dances are better,' said Onew.
Improvement is expected. It has been more than four years since their debut in 2008 after all and SHINee is no longer the youngest group in the SM Town Family. This is no doubt additional pressure for them as they play the role of seniors to f(x) and recently debuted boyband EXO.
SHINee admitted, 'We want to be role models and encourage our juniors, just like how we look up to our seniors and practice hard.'
For the rest of the year, SHINee plans to bring their new tour to different places and they are excited about having more opportunities to meet fans. Taiwan and Singapore are the two stops first announced.
SHINee World II will be held in Singapore on Dec 8 (one night only) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets are expected to go on sale in August, with further details to be announced soon. The concert is brought to you by RITS.
