It’s a SHINee World out there!

It was the Japanese media that dubbed them as the 'Beatles of Asia' since they performed at Abbey Road, so don't give the writer so much hate.

Also, as a fan, I feel quite disheartened by the rude comments directed towards SHINee. Sure they may not suit your tastes, but I don't see the point of directing insults toward them on a personal level.

For people saying that it's pointless listening to music you don't understand, what about those who really like Utada Hikaru's First Love? I don't think you need to know the language beforehand to like a song, the melody and emotion projected by the artist is enough.

@Pinoyrocks:
"YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA AT ALL OR WHATSOEVER ON THE KIND OF TALENT THAT THE BEATLES SHOWED THE WORLD TO EVEN TRY TO COMPARE THEM WITH THIS K-POP GROUP."

Sure, the Beatles were rock legends, but it seems that your point is the Beatles were so godly these guys seem talentless.

They're in different genres. SHINee is a contemporary R&B boyband who specialize in sing and dance, whilst the Beatles are a rock band. It's like comparing an apple to an orange.

"YOU CALL THIS KIND OF SINGING AND DANCING (OF THE SHINEE) A TALENT? THEN YOU MUST HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A REAL TALENT IN YOUR LIFETIME YET."

excuse me sir, I love watching dance groups from all over the world. I'm a fan of ABDC and I've seen a lot of really great dancers, and for a K-pop group, SHINee is one heck of a dance group. You can't base their talent on dancing just on this one video the writer posted. You haven't seen enough yet. They can also sing and dance live, I suggest you do your research before directing baseless insults towards them.

"ALSO, THE NAME SHINEE OR THE TERM CUTE ARE..WELL, EXCUSE ME, BUT IF YOU ARE A REAL MAN...ACT LIKE A MAN...DANCE AND SING LIKE A MAN..DO NOT SQUEAL AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, THERE IS A REASON WHY THERE ARE DIFFERENT CATALOGS FOR MEN'S HAIRCUT AND THAT OF THE WOMEN'S. ARE THEY ALL TRYING TO MAKE US THINK THAT THEY ARE A GIRL GROUP OR WHAT?"

That's your own opinion. The hairstyles sported in the Philippines and other countries vary by culture. In Korea, SHINee is considered a fashion icon. Also, the Philippines is very much behind in fashion trends, so I suppose saying that they're sporting girlish hairstyles demonstrate your ignorance on the latest trends in the fashion industry.

On a side note, I noticed that it was mostly men who wrote really rude comments. Insecure much? :)

They will not be called as "BEATLES OF ASIA" if they didn`t make a great history in KOREAN POP INDUSTRY. Use your common sense guys.. I mean FILIPINOs. Yes, I am a Filipino Shawol but I am really SURPRISED that WE FILIPINOs don`t have "RESPECT" for other people. You even don`t know SHINee yet you are the one who have more to say. SHUT UP YOUR UNRULY MOUTHS! Sorry if I sounds too harsh but I`m really dissapointed with us, FILIPINOs..

In fact, SHINee���s Debut SINGLE Sells 90K & Makes New Oricon Record! =))
SHINee is the BEST!!!

why are you guys making such a big deal out this? just because they we're called the "the beatles of asia?" common guys, they were called "the beatles of asia" because they deserved it.. they worked hard really hard and has their own originality.. you should know how to respect them as much as you guys wanted to be respected.. they didn't ask for this, you can call "title" or whatever,.. so stop judging ... and stop comparing them to other groups..

basta't koreano, lumalabas ang galit ng mga pinoy.

dapat bayaran ako ng writer na to ng pambili ng bagong monitor at keyboard. nabugahan ko kasi ng kape nung nabasa ko yung "Beatles of Asia". buti na lang gumagana pa.

isang malaking kalokohan

woah! woah! guys! hold on a minute! ang gulo-gulo!
what's so wrong with posting a KPop news here?! surely SHINee would not be called "Beatles of Asia" for nothing! they're a great KPop Boy band! isa pa, even if we Filipino Shawols can't understand what they're singing about, the beat, rhythm and everything else about their music is exactly enough to impress us and make us love them more!
grabe nman yung iba jan! ipinagpipilitan na dapat hindi i-appreciate ang mga Koreans just because they don't appreciate us and as some people said they hate us and they look down on us! eh kung tutuusin most of you are doing the exact things you say they are doing to us! and even worse!
respeto lang mga Pinoy. . hindi magandang trip ang manglait. .

kung makapag comment naman kayo WAGAS sobra naman ang mga panlalait nyo baka nga mas may style pa sila sa inyo FYI lng baka nga mas magaling pa silang kumanta sa inyo at tsaka wag kayong mag judge ng ibang tao sa inyo rin babalik ang karma kung ayaw nyo pala ng news na ito sana inignore nyo na lng ang dami nyo pang comment dyan perfect ba kayo para manghusga sa kapwa yaH! jukoshimna!?

Ok!!! PLS dont bash my SHINee so don't talk crap about them i know u guys are saying that they don't deserves to be the Asia's Beatles well u guys are just jelouse but for Shawols like me SHINee is the Asia's beatles so pls be carefull of saying something bad to them because it makes the shawols feelings hurt but SHINee FIGHTING!!

alm ko ang mga sinsabi nyo pero dapat naman considerate naman kayo ya alm kong gay aq para magsalita nang ganto ..... naging fan nila lang aq cmula nung january at nakakaadik talaga cla tapos nakito q talaga ang paghihirap nila nung naging idol cla sabi nila dapat nilang i give up nila ung mga contacts nila sa mga friends nila kaya masakit para sakanila so pls dont say hurtfull comments

at pede po ba wag po kaung magmura skin kc masasaktan po tlga aq so pls wag po

Why are people so harsh? If you guys don't like SHINee, then fine. But please.. PLEASE.. don't bash them. If you don't have something nice to say, then just don't say anything. The top comments are really heartbreaking.

You don't agree that they're like The Beatles? That's also fine. I, as a Shawol, don't agree with it as well. I believe that they have their own character as a boygroup. They're contemporary, modern and unique in their own ways.

As a fan, I obviously doesn't want my favorite group receiving such inappropriate comments. It breaks my heart. That's the reason why I don't bash or say anything harsh to other artists. I just hope other fans or readers share the same standpoint as mine.

THey ROCKS :DD The Most Perfect Guys on land :DD

the question that is asked below is Are you a Shawol? if you're not a shawol then go away. its not as if SHINee made themselves the Beatles of Asia, its just the media. sooo don't bash them and call them gay. Look at urselves first, maybe ur the one whos gay/lesbian watsoever :P
That article right there....................... I agree because I AM A SHAWOL!!!!!!!!!! ;)

i don't want to sound so offended, but, @#$% this. the beatles were and are music gods. there are very few that can even be compared to be below one level of them. this is the most pretentious article i have ever read.

i demand that yahoo philippines do some quality checks and not let stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid people write articles.

i have nothing against kpop. in fact, i am a fan. but we all know and they all know that they are just making cheeky music and not the type that would be remembered for generations. they are merely manufactured dolls that sing and dance and get the occasional plastic surgery. yes, shinee fans, i know that taemin had a nose lift.

on another note, if they can be considered asia's beatles, how about boy bands bigger than them? super junior? 2pm? or solo acts like rain?

stupid marketing is not only sacrilegious, it is plain idiotic.

fire the writer, yahoo.

dapat sa ating mga pilipino di pinaaalam ang tungkol sa Korea, oo maunlad na talaga sila at malayo na rin ang narating nila, at alam kong sobrang laki na ng galit nyo sa kanila. ano kaya kung for example tinamaan tayo ng mga kalamidad tulad ng ba----o, lindol, sunog, o kahit ano, tapos ung nag-abot sa iyo ng tulong ay isang koreano, tatanggapin nyo ba? o di kaya ung nagpagamot sa iyo sa evacuation center ay isang korean doctor, magpapa-konsulta ka pa ba?

Pede tong pang lagay sa ibang segment..
pang JOKE OF THE DAY

Look at the Filipino Music Industry. When it comes to the singers you'll hear remake, revival, remix, re.. re.. re.. No originality.
I mean, don't get me wrong. There are SOME who really have the talent and has his or her own sense of style and individuality but many are still doing the same thing over and over again.
Have we seen singers (can we even call them singers?) copy the style of K-Pop group? Yes.
Are they encouraged? Yes.
Singers even lip-sync during their own live performance. I mean, how dumb is that?
A singer who cannot sing. Funny and irritating at the same time.
Don't blame the Filipinos for looking for some originality and vibrant talents if they can't find it in their own industry.
Eraserheads? They're good, really. They're legends but did they even make other country listen to their songs?
Why do you think the K-Pop sensation is reaching all over the world?
Because many can see the originality, individuality, versatility and even discipline of the performers.
Copying just a teeny tiny bit of a dance is plagiarism to them.
But in the Philippines: Just go ahead and copy everything.

This article is crap... you should have featured pinoy bands instead of this korean shitheads.. watta waste of time..

bading ata author.. at sino ba sila??? another shitty music... ang daming magagaling sa underground music sila n lng e promote mo wag yang mga boyband.. pang bakla lng yan

I agree with Dustin that Filipino bands should be promoted instead of a silly-looking Korean band. We have a lot of talent that deserve media attention and promotion.

nice group..... pero mas maganda sana pag sumugod n ang North Korea sa South para maging sundalo n ang mga lintik n i2....

mas masaya pag naging sundalo sila kumanta sila habang binabaril o kinakanyon sila ng mga communist north korean.... nyahahahahaha!
