SHINee Minho Starts Learning Ballet

Minho, who is in his 17th year since debut, recently revealed that he started ballet.

Ji Jin-hee, Kim Ji-soo, Min-ho, and Jung Woong-in, who are the main cast of the drama 'Family X Melo', appeared on JTBC's 'Knowing Brothers' that aired on the 10th. Min-ho aroused curiosity by writing down his own description as 'poisonous'.

He explained, "SHINee is in its 17th year since our debut. Our choreography is famous for being difficult. We're still doing it the same way we did when we first debuted, so we're called amazing because we put our lives on the line on stage."

When Kang Ho-dong asked if it was hard now, Min-ho honestly confessed, "It's harder than before. I think I can jump less. I definitely get out of breath after the second verse, but I overcome it with my mentality." Seo Jang-hoon whined, "Use a substitute."

When asked about his recent activities, Minho said, "I've been working out really hard. I work out, play squash, CrossFit, ride a bike, play soccer, play basketball, and play golf." When Min Kyunghoon asked if he did ballet, Minho replied, "I felt like my body was stiff because I was only doing exercise that involved running too much. I felt the need for flexibility exercises, so I started ballet."

He said, "I tried ballet and it was good for my core and made me more flexible." Shindong told a story from the past, saying, "Minho was not as good at dancing as I thought." He explained, "Minho is a dancing king now, but when he first came in as a trainee, he was really stiff."

Minho revealed, "My first dance teacher was Shindong." He added, "Dancing wasn't as easy as I thought. I would go to Shindong during every break." When asked if there was a collection of hyungs that he liked as much as exercising, Minho said, "I've been hanging out with my hyungs since I was little. While working on this project, Jung Woong-in likes to drink, so we became close while having a company dinner."
