1. Yep. I mean, yeah – I agree that they were not the best, and they’re still not the best, actually. But they had much potential right from the start, and that’s what finally made me like them. And you’re right about how you can see them improving little by little.

or in Key’s case, super talented
YES D: I kind of envy him.

2. Yes D: And I absolutely cannot resist anything/anyone cute.

3. Shows are often the best way to fall in love with a group. I mean, with Super Junior, it was Full House. And now Shinee with their Yunhanam. Like you, I was just feeling “eh” about it and planned to watch just a bit. But as I started to watch it, I found myself looking forward to the next episode. Their personalities really came out (especially with those behind the scenes footage <3)

4. Haha, they have sort of a child-like wonder, almost? Anyway, yes, their innocence is really refreshing. I realized very early on that being their fan would be so different from being Suju’s or DBSG’s fan, for example. And there’s also the fact that they’re around my age.. I’ve always liked older groups in the past. They’re also the first group I’ve followed since the time around their debut, and you described it perfectly, how it’s like watching someone grow up.

You said it all.
