happy 22nd birthday to shinee’s lovely leader, lee jinki!

Dear Onew,
We’ve all watched you grow into this strong charismatic leader. We’re so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. Through everything, you’ve never lost sight of your goal. You haven’t lost yourself along the way. You’ve never once thought of giving up. Singing is everything to you. You’re doing what you love. Always stay true to who you are. Stay humble and kind, for that is what we cherish about you.

Onew is awkward, clumsy, warm, gentle, but strong and passionate at the same time. He is intelligent and down to earth, approachable and caring. But most importantly he is Human. He isn’t perfect, and he doesn’t try to be. He simply is. And that’s what I love most about him. He will continue to grow as both an artist and a person, and I will make it my goal to support him along the way.

Happy Birthday Lee Jinki!
