So, I just wanted to add this, 'cause it hits close to home. My son looks like Taemin from Lucifer, he has the Asian face with naturally red hair (don't ask me, genetics are weird). Kids used to make fun of the way he looked ALL THE TIME, and that's when I found SHINee. I said, "Look son, here's a boy who hundreds of thousands of screaming women would DIE for a bit of attention and he looks EXACTLY LIKE YOU (to the point where he posted Taemin's picture on his FB and people just thought it was him). Does it matter what anyone else says now?" And you know what? It doesn't. It doesn't matter what anyone else says because their opinion in the face of the fandom is completely invalid.

THIS THIS THIS A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.

Also the health problems that several of them have gone through and still had to work (swine flu, all of Onew's upset stomach issues, Minho's leg, I know I'm forgetting some).

And they're /kids/.

I started to put that down,all the health stuff that they've been through, all the exhaustion and nervous strain and blah blah blah but I thought maybe that was overkill. I was already worried that maybe some us person would think they cry too much le sigh.

Anyway, thanks!

wonderfully put. People have no clue (just like I didn't) how hard these boys work. Not anything like the U.S. stars. They just don't get it.

Yes, the work that kpop artists put in, especially SME artists put in is just un real and people have no idea.
