On April 20th, French reporters and Hallyu fanclub ‘Korean Connection‘ finally made their visit to the SM Entertainment building, where they met up with the members of SHINee.
Interacting with 54 French fans, SHINee also took part in a 30-minute long interview with major press agencies, talking about the culture of K-Pop and their extensive popularity overseas. The French media outlet, ‘Le Monde’, asked questions on SHINee’s pre-debut training, their promotions all across Asia, and whether they were aware of their popularity in Europe.
Before the interview began, music videos were played, which immediately drew cries of joy from the audience. Despite the lyrics being fully in Korean, every fan followed along and even chanted the members’ names.
When SHINee finally made their way to the front, the fans welcomed them by singing “Hello“.
SHINee also confirmed at the event, “On June 10th, we’ll be holding an SM TOWN LIVE concert in Paris, France, at ‘Le Zenith de Paris’.”

It looks like the new version on their full length album, Pinocchio, is the same song…just with SHINee in M.I.C’s place.
The original “Lollipop” song was done in Chinese and this new version was recorded in Korean.

SM Entertainment’s massive in-house concert, “SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR“, will finally have a stage in Europe!
On April 20th, SM Entertainment revealed, “‘SMTOWN LIVE’ gathered much success and interest from foreign fans during the concerts in Seoul, LA, Tokyo, and Shanghai. Therefore, this upcoming June 10th, we are planning to meet our French music fans at the ‘Le Zenith de Paris’ venue in Paris, France.”
SM Entertainment is the first Korean entertainment company to hold a collaborative concert in Europe. The venue where they will hold the concert is famous for hosting concerts from international superstars like Ne-Yo, The Pussycat Dolls, and the Jonas Brothers.
TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, and f(x) – who are all scheduled to attend – are also at the center of the K-Pop wave in Europe. Indeed, just last January, a nationwide TV channel called 2TV gave a report on Europe’s Hallyu craze, which cited SM artists as the center of the wave.
SM Entertainment stated, “From the Paris concert, we plan for our company’s artists’ to have more global activities – surpassing Asia and extending into America and Europe – by taking advantage of a wide variety of networks.”
So, if you plan on being in Paris in June, don’t miss out on this ground-breaking event!

Ever since news broke out in October 2010 about SHINee’s Jonghyun and Shin Se Kyung being an item, the Korean media would occasionally report on rumors that the two have broken up.
Indeed, some websites suggested that Shin Se Kyung was too busy filming her new movie, ‘Blue Salt‘, and that she naturally grew apart from Jonghyun.
But according to Shin’s agency, Namoo Actors, those statements couldn’t be farther from the truth.
They stated, “We get a lot of questions regarding Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun’s relationship. [However], they’re still seeing each other. Please view them in a positive light.”
Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun met at a private meeting last August. They started seeing each other in October as they bonded over talking about their hobbies and lives. The couple recently celebrated their six-month anniversary as well.
Jonghyun is currently preparing for SHINee’s new album, while Shin Se Kyung has just completed filming ‘Blue Salt’.
