Top 10 Best SHINee Members

The Top Ten
Taemin Lee Tae-min, born on July 18, 1993, is the youngest member of SHINee and has gained a reputation as one of K-pop's most talented dancers and performers. Known for his fluid dance moves and emotive voice, Taemin launched a successful solo career, releasing albums like Move and Never Gonna Dance Again. He has continuously pushed artistic boundaries with his sophisticated music and choreography, making him a standout figure in the K-pop industry. Taemin's artistry and creativity have earned him critical acclaim across the global music scene.

When I first started listening to them, Taemin stood out to me the most. His dancing skills are amazing. Although he may not have the best voice in the group, he is definitely improving greatly and has nonetheless a really good voice. Also, being the youngest in the group, I think he has a lot of potential to add to his already extremely talented person. He also has that innocent aura about him that's very appealing and a genuine smile.

Perfect maknae who loves to eat but hardly gets fat. A hardworking idol who has been rumored to be dancing for a very long time, even if it takes midnight or morning. I just find him amazing through the ways he works hard, which makes me want to inspire him the most.

If I have to define him, he would be my everything because there are no other words that could describe him in my life unless I'm forced to. But it would take forever for me to finish. K... I should stop talking now. Laugh out loud.

Minho Minho, born Choi Min-ho on December 9, 1991, is recognized for his athletic build, intense charisma, and his role as SHINee's lead rapper. He made his debut with SHINee in 2008 and has since been known for his dynamic stage presence and fiery energy. Aside from his musical career, Minho has ventured into acting, starring in various dramas such as To the Beautiful You and Hwarang. His competitive spirit and charm have earned him a wide fan base both in South Korea and internationally.

Minho is indescribable. He's cocky, humble, sporty, lazy, funny, awkward, fierce, and cute all packed into one. I love how, although he's an idol, he isn't afraid to go all out or do something embarrassing. He isn't afraid of looking ugly when he's all sweaty playing sports. He's so passionate, and that's what draws all the Flamers to him.

I admit, he may have gotten a slight nose job. I am currently not that delusional that I go crazy when I see antis. Yet. But anyway, his looks are almost all natural. Yes, he may have looked horrid with the debut hairstyle (the one where his hair went down his neck), but he is still incredibly dashing.

He is basically an all-rounded idol. He is witty, sporty, and talented, no matter what the antis say. His voice is unique, deep, and throaty, which makes him stand out from the orchestra wannabes.

He may be competitive, but he has a sweet and caring side to him too. Just watch Hello Baby. He was an amazing 'appa'. (They look so scarily alike though, Minho and Yoogeun.)

Conclusion: Minho is perfectly imperfect in the most beautiful way.

Key Kim Ki-bum, known as Key, was born on September 23, 1991, and is celebrated for his multifaceted talents as a singer, rapper, and fashion icon. A member of SHINee since 2008, Key is well-known for his vibrant personality, sharp wit, and unique sense of style, often pushing the envelope in both music and fashion. He has also successfully branched into acting and variety shows, showcasing his versatility and charisma. In 2018, Key debuted as a solo artist with Face, further proving his broad artistic capabilities.

Gosh, I don't know where to start. All of the SHINee members possess extraordinary talents, yet Key is the one that appeals to me the most. He is one of those "perfect, yet not perfect" people. In many minds, he is talented in almost every category, which is true depending on the topic (yet it is still only a matter of opinion). That is what makes him "perfect."

But when you picture a perfect person, do you not picture a boring, annoying, intelligent smarty-pants? Key, in my opinion, does not represent such "irritance." I can assure you that he doesn't look up to such a person like that, either. He prefers a more spontaneous one, perhaps?

Either way, my nerdy language has shown you the devotion that true Lockets have for our one-and-only Almighty Key. Oh, and ladies, don't post such selfish thoughts of Key to yourself. Psh, if you ask me, THAT is what I call a person Key would NOT want to be around. L8S.

Jonghyun Kim Jong-hyun, born on April 8, 1990, was SHINee's main vocalist and an extraordinary lyricist and composer. Known for his powerful voice and emotionally resonant songs, he contributed significantly to SHINee's discography and also released several solo albums, including She Is and Poet | Artist. Jonghyun was deeply involved in the production of his music, often addressing themes of love, identity, and mental health. His untimely passing in 2017 left a profound impact on fans and the music world, but his legacy as an artist continues to inspire many.

He is the best. He sings very well and dances very well, although none of you see that! Of course, he is the best because he tries really hard every day and he is always practicing. He is also really funny and sometimes dorky, but that's the Jonghyun that everyone loves.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you about how he thinks about everyone in SHINee. He wants to protect them and listens to their worries. He is a wonderful hyung and a funny dongsaeng. I love his smile and everything about him. Oh, and Key said in a program that Jonghyun is his type! This means that if Key were a girl, out of all the SHINee members, he would choose Jonghyun! He is perfect, and that's what I think of him! Bye bye kisses to Jonghyun oppa.

Onew Lee Jin-ki, better known by his stage name Onew, was born on December 14, 1989, and is the leader and lead vocalist of SHINee. His smooth, warm voice is a defining element of SHINee's sound, and he has also earned praise for his work in musicals and television dramas. Onew debuted as a solo artist in 2018 with his mini-album Voice, which highlighted his vocal talents through a series of ballads. He is respected not only for his musical skills but also for his leadership and kind-hearted nature within the group.

Onew is like something that is often in the background but incredibly magnificent. He is both demure and humorous, yet mature. His voice feels like velvet and chocolate. He is so talented in acting, singing, imitations, and leadership.

To me, he isn't a dancer, but he can pull through when needed. He should have been a highly desired member in the K-pop industry, though he isn't as flashy. He's kind and an incredibly sweet gentleman. While his looks are underestimated, his smile is soothing, his smirks are tempting, and his eyebrow arch is delicious.

He is humble, to the point where he did not even realize he is the lead vocalist. As my ultimate bias, I believe he deserves so much more for his talent and perseverance, from surgery to stage fright and beyond. He is the leader and is pretty good at it too. Even though he's a good person, he can be awkward and klutzy. Hence, Onew Condition, which is the most adorable thing ever.

Onew is so underappreciated, but he never complains. He is a good role model, with different sides of humor and elegance. He, to me, is the epitome of K-pop magnificence!
