Have you seen SHINee’s ‘Romeo’ album jacket?

shinee_280509_2

Well, the netizens’ comments to the album jacket is that, “they look like aliens”. Agree?

Someone please enlighten me, what is the concept to the album jacket again?

shinee_280509_1

The only photo I fancy is the first group photo I posted up on top. The boys look lovely in it.

But for the individual shots, I don’t fancy much.

Netizens say:

  • “Weird… Hhhh”
  • “The stylist must be an anti”
  • “I must be the weird one, I thought they look cool”
  • “Oh no. Not the clothes with the wigs ><”
  • “I can’t see what concept they are hitting at all “
  • “Gosh they are sooo skinny”
  • “Mr. Ha Sang Baek. Please don’t do this to the SHINee boys. The boys look like 2nd, 3rd, 4th generations of Ha Sang Baek

  1. great site, load of really usefull info, keep it going

  2. aww, c’mon..I think they can do better than this crap~ I know they’re trying to be young, funky and different at the same time but it just doesn’t seem to work… Unless u’re Lady Gaga…THEN u can pull styles like this~

  3. What’s up with Jonghyun’s wig??
    I don’t get their concept in this album but who cares?! Its their song/s that matters.
    And they can start a new fashion trend again, whatever that is. But I still love their style in their first two albums. The colored skinny jeans, loose shirt, hoodie/jacket and airforce1.

    Taemin’s so freakin’ hot! And Onew looks like Key. Jonghyun.. hmm? He’s got muscles. And Minho still looks like a model. Sweet! ^^

  4. really nice concept

    knowing that “Romeo+Juliette” can be translated into many fashion style, this concept for SHINee quite daring though considering their previous image. however I do like it cause it still placed them as child-version of Romeo, that playfull-like, sweet and carefree feeling radiating from each photo shoot. the type of lighting and finished look of every photo also nice. I would love to have this one as a collection.

    bravo for SHINee boys who tried their best to pulled it off. my sad part goes to SM, why don’t they give them new songs rather than keep doing K-version of foreign artiste hits?? please SM don’t waste their talent. also whoever done SHINee new MV ‘Juliette’ they could do a better editing, not cramming in too much cuts, I’m hardly enjoying it.

    well anyway, that just my thought. really looking forward for their live performance.

  5. errrrrrrrrrr….. what is the concept again?

  6. weird,they could smile when wearing those ugly cloths? I would be so ashamed!

  7. Style has gone a little weird. Love their AMIGO concept, but this one? Not so much.

    It’s just like G-Dragon…=[ GREAT gone WhA?

  8. yes, i know the pictures are weird for an album jacket (especially the wig on jonghyun wtf.) but why blame shinee with their weird clothes? complain to their stylist. and yeah, artists have had their bad style days as well.

  9. hey guys just cos the concept/clothes/style doesn’t fit YOUR circle of what is deemed to be ‘normal’ doesn’t mean you can bash others at your own will. Yeah it may be ‘weird’ to you, but at least keep it to your self and rant on your own blog or something constructive. To you it may be weird, but at least SHINee is trying to do something different than the rest of the other idol groups, they gotta do something new and fresh to be in the game.

  10. gawd. people keep saying that kpop needs something new and fresh..and i think these boys are stepping out of the norm. and now pple start saying that they look weird and stuff.. well if they are trying hard,, then at least they’re trying right?

    people will just keep complaining right? sigh. anw wish the boys the best for their comeback!! and prove all haters wrong.

  11. whoops, Ha Sang* Baek :)

  12. Seriously, I know the internet is a place to say whatever you want but SHINee is just doing their job. And it’s not like they can choose what to wear. Ha Saeng Baek is a couture designer and he designs for runways. Runway clothes are not exactly kpop material but these boys pull it off better than anyone, I personally think. Do YOU think you could’ve pulled it off better than them? With hair around your neck?

    Ha. I doubt so.

    And all the things they do behind the camera are just instructions by the photographer. Again I stress, they are just doing their job. They signed a contract with SM and they’re just agreeing with what the signed up for. They are unique! Have you ever seen any other korean artist like this? Probably not. If you guys don’t like different, then kindly go away and stop condemning them as though they killed your cat. I’m sorry but I just can’t stand the biased views you guys have. Taemin IS skinny but that boy is NOT anorexic. Eunhyuk is skinny, and he eats the most in Suju. Is HE anorexic? Absolutely not. Taemin just has fast metabolism. That WE all would kill to have. They don’t have that sexy image like the other groups have because it’s boring. Do you like watching the same episode of Spongebob everyday? Bleh, I don’t :) Before anyone bashes me up, I’m sorry to say I am not sorry for whatever I said in this comment :)

  13. One word: Hideous

  14. WTF?!
    this is SOOOOOO unflattering in an unattractive way..lol seriously. it looks like some crappy homemade photoshoot.

  15. I like their first group pic. But dang they are skinny esp Taemin! D:

    I didn’t mind the masks when I first saw them… but now the wigs and fake hair attached to the clothes is argh… So weird/bad. O___O;;

    SHINee’s really talented though. SooKyeong, thanks for posting up the YT!! First listen, homg… I like this song. I love it when they sing ballads. :] This is gonna help me with my debate on buying their album…x]

  16. well, i kinda agree that they are damn skinny!!
    they need to gain some weight! especially taeminnie

    but i kinda like their concept..its something unique
    except that hair part (hhaa)

  17. SHINee has nothing to do with what they’re wearing.
    So you’re all wrong if you think /they/ are trying to be different.
    They have no control over that.

    KILL THE STYLIST . D:

  18. “Gosh they are sooo skinny”

    i was thinking that too.. O___O
    key looks stunning though x3

    lol and i like the concept, don’t like the pics with the wigclothes thouh .___. but i love the other ones

  19. i think you guys expect way too much.

    its DIFFERENT. why do you think its called DIFFERENT? yeah sure its wackk and crazy and weird, but it’s not exactly their fault. and hey, its good to see something different once in a while.
    i mean.. everyone almost has the same style.. like suju.. trying to have that “sexy” and “manly” image.. yeah now thats not original -_-
    who else? SS501.. triple S.. their song U R man.. i see that image way too much.

    SHINee is so different from many idols.

    at least they have talent.

    SM spent too much time on suju and snsd. blame him not shinee. shinee’s just doing their job.

  20. scary!!!!!!!
    O_O

  21. OMFG WTF!!!

  22. It looks really weird and awkward… but if you are you artistic, you would get that types of ideas. It’s artsy. But many people don’t appreciate it. The boys look like they had a blast doing their album jacket, and who cares about their concept.

  23. I love SHINee , no matter what kind of clothes they wear.
    Bette rhaving pretty face with not so cool clothes than ugly face with cool clothes.
    LoL….The personality, Entertaiment and the music is, what matter most.

  24. In the photos, when I see Taemin I think of TM Revolution (Takanori Nishikawa) @____@

    But some of these pictures are……….. scary -_-
    In the way that I can’t believe these boys are Shinee.

    • And I forgot to mention, wth is with Taemin sitting next to a grunge looking door!? He looks like a hobo @_____@ SO not Romeo like! (Romeo – Juliet has a romantic feeling…. Romeo is like a prince! What happened to my Shinee princes!?)

  25. love them but eww man eww

  26. huh!!!!!!
    im so dissapointed SM..
    are they trying to make the boys a laughing stuff??
    i miss the old shinee..

  27. Thank gawd I still love my boys.
    I see fashion influences from a range of decades. A lot of ethnic influence in there too. I found the shoot quite cool, minus the wigs and bugs. o__O

  28. they look like bums? haha. even the qualities of the piture is low. father sm is milking snsd too much that he has no care for shinee. just look at all those remix on their album.

  29. Their style wasn’t all that great to begin with.
    I think they have talent and stuff but style?
    I don’t think so
    Sorry :/

  30. This is the most unfavorable album jacket I’ve seen in awhile.

    And you know how we always talk about anorexic female entertainers?

    Well it’s about time we acknowledge that for Taemin.

  31. man, it think their styles are cool.
    you dont see these styles everyday -_-
    its boring to see the everyday sexy, manly image like what 95% of idols have -_-
    its good to see some change.

  32. Someone should fire their stylist lol

  33. i think they are a bunch of romeos but whatever the hell are they wearing? ppl should stop trying to be different. at least pls try something that suit them. damn stylist nowadays :/

    same goes to the photographer. Is it a special effect/technique to make the photos look blurry, bluish and cheap looking? sorry i dont know anything about photography but the photos look really bad to me.

  34. I like it. It’s supposed to be a new concept….also inspired from “ethnic acid funk.” The video is supposed to be inspired from Romeo and Juliet….I forget what version though….but that’s all I know…I like it though, I think the concept is cool.

  35. wow, weird album jacket~
    but oh well.. i dont really care..(^_^)
    wat’s important to me is their live singing~ <3 coz that's wat i fell for…

    it's a plus if they look good, of coz, i'm not denying that at all…=P

    go shinee go~ waiting to watch u guys singing on stage again!

  36. omg…they’re a good singers but …they’re sooooooo Weird….and so skinny…eca….

  37. W-E-I-R-D..
    L-A-M-E..
    I dont know what SM tried to be expect in this style..
    T,T

  38. URGHHHHHHH, What the HELL are they wearing?!

    It looks like a crazy fancy-dress party gone wrong..

    Not to mention, Taemin looks soo skinny, someone needs to give him a burger lol

  39. i think it would’ve been fine without the wigs. every now and again you see stuff like this in galleries and magazines.

  40. Haha, I find the photos ok. They’re artistic in the artsy-but-normal-people-don’t-get-it kind of artistic. The only weird thing is… why are these for SHINee’s album jacket? XD Really not something I’d expect to find as a K-boyband’s image.

    But anyway, the “stylist must be an anti” comment is hilarious 8D

  41. THEY’RE TRYING TOO HARD TO BE DIFFERENT.

  42. man!! how could SM do this to SHINee.. and i think someone should feed them..

  43. i find the pics of shinee with masks are tolerable. but what’s with the wig and fake fur/hair on their costumes? isn’t their concept romeo? just stick to the concept of them wearing masks not them wearing wigs and weird outfits. at least the concept of the boys wearing masks give a mysterious aura of child-like romeo.

  44. i don’t want to laugh.. but the comment below each photo cracked me up..

    the most funniest comment is minho’s pic as indo prince.. LOL.

    urmm… anyway.. i don’t understand the concept as well as seriously is this album jacket?

    the picture quality somehow reminded me of dbsk-shine photobook where i can’t agree how can they publish such kind of photo book…

    the same goes here as well. TT_TT
    mian shinee, but i think you deserve more stylish concept than this weird concept.

  45. shinee wants to be GD or wangbiho I think

  46. OMG! I SERIOUSLY AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT “The stylist must be an anti”!!!

    OMG! what the heck is up with the hair extensions on their clothes! THATS FREAKIN CREEPY!!!! i bet they weren’t so excited like how they look when the wigs were involved. but nonetheless, they’re still adorable, minus the the clothes and esp hair extensions…HAIR EXTENSIONS ON CLOTHES IS A BIG NO-NO!!!! ITS GOES ON THE GODDAMN HEAD, GODDAMN IT! STYLIST IS DEFINITELY AN ANTI! hehe XD

  47. please…..this is too much…w-e-i-r-d…
    prefer GD weird style than this…
    i love SHINee’s style back then…
    just onew who looks so normal than the rest members…
    thanks God…onew is my fav…XD

  48. All I can say is:
    WTF.

    Mmm, nothing like a good ol’ dose of the ‘we-are-so-fashion-hot-that-we-can-look-like-halloween-cross-dressers-everyday’ concept. Nice work, SM management. You just made your boys look like retards. I’m all for wacky fashion trends (GD can do it aight well), but jesus, please don’t do it to the point where even fans are scared away by the style. The concept doesn’t even match the boys at all, I almost feel embarrased for them, IMHO.

  49. oomg.. this “remake boy band” look weird

    not suitable with their ‘romeo’ concept at all

  50. they look so bad x_x
    this pics are really weird x_x

  51. Taemin look dazzling with his orange hair and blue eyes…. ^^
    SM male group is bound to have at least one whacko style
    DBSK – Tri Angle
    SJ- Don’t Don
    even HOT and SHINWA share their bad style days…

  52. theyre trying really hard to stand out from the other groups I assume

  53. :O haven’t seen them before, and i’m not liking jonghyun’s self pics. i mean seriously.. the new hair already makes me EHHH.. not the crazy wigs and stuff. i understand they’re trying something new, but please mr.ha sangbaek, don’t overdo them.. GOSH, and taeminiie, gain some weight !!

    • anorexia taemin

      • Taemin is NOT anorexic. He just has fast metabolism and he dances a lot. Look at Eunhyuk, he is the biggest eater in Suju and yet he’s so skinny. Taemin is the same. Please, think twice before you say something like that.

  54. X_x i guess they’re just trying to be different, but. i don’t really like it.

  55. OMG!
    tae min looks super skinny!
    their cloth so weird
