News: Philippine Daily Inquirer – SHINee Young Things
Dara was mentioned in this Philippine Daily Inquirer article about SHINee and Etude. ^_^ It was cute how the boys praised Dara and vice versa.
(Omitted parts unrelated to Dara)
Recently, the boys had also signed on to be endorsers of Korean beauty brand Etude House, along with its mainstay, Sandara Park. In Korea, it is not uncommon for men to become beauty brand endorsers, not just because of the Korean male actor’s delicate features bordering on androgynous, but because all of them have damn great skin.
Their TV ad spots for Etude House’s new lipstick line were really short films dubbed as “web dramas” by the brand. The web dramas were a riff of popular Japanese anime “Death Note.” but with a sweeter outcome: Kiss Note, where Sandara would write the name of her dream guy in a notebook using lipstick, and said dream guy would magically be compelled to kiss her—it’s every girl’s dream come true. Apart from the lipstick, tins of tinted lip balm have been released called “Shini Star,” with each shade representing each SHINee member. At the bottom of each tin lies a special message from each guy.
Super had the chance to go to a top secret location where SHINee and Sandara were shooting another TV ad for Etude House’s summer product, Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream. We were brought to a sports complex an hour away from Seoul, where they were filming. It was bitingly cold, but SHINee and Sandara seemed unfazed, clad in matching cotton-candy pink suits.
They had nothing but good words for each other. When asked how it felt having to kiss each other for Kiss Note (Sandara had to kiss each member for each web drama installment, with the exception of Onew), the boys thanked Sandara for helping to ease them into the mood. “It was not our first kiss, but we thank Sandara for making things comfortable despite the awkwardness of the situation.” Sandara meanwhile, demurred when asked who was the better kisser. “Fake lang, pero siyempre kinilig pa rin ako,” (It was fake but I still got giddy.) Sandara answered in Filipino, proving her still excellent command of the language. Of the four web dramas she appeared in, she loved all of it, but considered the one with Minho to be memorable, “Yun yung romantic na episode!” (It was a romantic episode!) she adds. She even professes to be a fan of their music, having loved their first song, “Parang sinasabi lang nila ‘Ang ganda mo … ate,’” (It was like they were telling me that I was beautiful) she laughs. SHINee’s first song entitled, “Noona Neomu Yeppeo” is a song waxing poetic about a pretty noona, a term referring to an older sister, or ate in our vernacular, cementing the group’s popularity amongst noonas and ates everywhere.
