Watching a thing where overseas fangirls have won a date with a couple of members of SHINee. The fans have flown to South Korea from Malaysia, the UK, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, the US, the Philippines, and Thailand. And, as so often happens, the only language everyone has in common is English, so that's the language their unnie* is using; for the viewers, it's subtitled in Korean.
You will be unsurprised to learn that (a) there was a mighty fountain of green-eyed ire when the competition winners were announced and (b) many of us were hoping Key and Jonghyun would just go on the date with each other and let us watch.
* I tried to get this into English but it just wouldn't gracefully go. Literally "a girl's big sister", but in this case, a Kpop singer and dancer a little older but not much older than them. A boy's big sister is his noona, but so is any older girl close to him in age, which sometimes makes clarification necessary (eg when Jonghyun is talking about his sister, as he is wont to do).
