Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
기범: 우리 처음에 노래하는 그룹 아니었던 거 알아? 다들 노래 너무 못해가지고. <누난 너무 예뻐>라는 곡에 우리가 실력을 맞추게 된 거야. 그 데모 받았을 때 너무 걱정했었는데 또 사람이 하다 보니까 맞춰지더라. pic.twitter.com/C5gYSMT3Qu

On the reality show ‘Keyword #BoA‘, Key reveals to BoA that originally SHINee was going to debut with a rap concept because SM Entertainment thought they couldn’t sing sufficiently.
1. Interesting story by Key. According to him, SHINee was given a rap oriented song for debut, because they were considered not capable of singing. But that song was rejected by LSM, and they were given Replay. https://t.co/Cdzlc4S5DQ

2. Key said they were worried because they were not sure if they can actually sing Replay well, but at the end of the day, they all improved to match the quality of the song.

That’s major news to me, because it likely would’ve meant things would be centered around RAP GAWD Minho and it would be his glorious flow that would become SHINee’s signature. And it’s a goddamn shame that didn’t end up being the case. Sure sure, SHINee has seen immense popularity with the concept they ended up with, but that surely pales in comparison to the level of fame and success we’d be talking if Minho was allowed to take the reins and mold SHINee’s sound around his rhymes.
I’m mad online.
