SHINee officially debuted on May 25, 2008, with their mini-album 'Replay (누난 너무 예뻐).' Minho, born December 9, 1991, debuted at age 16 and is now 34, having built a significant acting filmography including dramas like 'To the Beautiful You' and films such as 'Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes,' alongside his recent second solo mini-album 'Make it hot' and a second solo concert in November. Onew, born December 14, 1989, is 36 and serves as the group's leader, known for his unique vocal tone. He recently released a new Japanese album in September and held a solo concert in Tokyo, managing his solo career under Griffin Entertainment while remaining with SM Entertainment for group activities.

Local bloggers often reflect on the passage of time, noting that members like Minho, who debuted in school uniforms, are now in their mid-thirties, yet maintain their strong stage presence. They frequently mention Minho's 'flaming charisma' and his unexpected hobbies, such as bonsai, which contrast with his well-known athleticism. The overall impression conveyed by these discussions is one of admiration for both Minho and Onew's consistent dedication to their crafts, showcasing their multifaceted talents and sustained professionalism across various entertainment fields.
