After subscribing to various idols' fandom-communicating platforms for a maximum of 3 months, a Korean reporter shared an anecdote about SHINee Minho.
What did they find out?
SHINee Minho Admired for Consistency, 'Training Type' Love to Shawols
On August 17, reporter Ko Seung Hee of the Korean media outlet Herald Economy wrote an article revealing her experience after subscribing to three of the most-used messaging platforms of idols and fans: Bubble, From, and Weverse.
Ko subscribed to 10 idols from the second to fourth-gen era each and has been with them for a minimum of 60 days, 92 days being the longest.

Among the idols the reporter talked about, she particularly highlighted her admiration for SHINee Minho, who has been consistent throughout her subscription to his Bubble.
During SHINee's comeback promotion for "HARD," the members usually delivered most messages even when doing their overseas activities, such as Minho, and Taemin sharing photos to Shawols (fandom) when they performed in Madrid, Spain.
But among SHINee, there is a member who has been showing up every day at the same time, classifying him as someone who showed "training type" affection to his fans.
The reporter revealed narrated:
"Good night, sweet dreams!' Every night between 12:09 to 12:10 p.m., some days at 12:12 p.m. A greeting from SHINee Minho arrives to end the day."
It is significant to note that this time isn't randomly selected by Minho as 12:09 signifies (December 9), the idol's birthday.
Ko continued and expressed Minho's consideration to his fans, saying:
"He doesn't even bother to talk long. As a second-generation K-pop group, all the members are over 30, and 'The Child Newly Born with SHINee's Music' (among the 'MMTG - Civilization Express') has become a middle school student, so there are a lot of office workers among SHINee World (fandom). This is Minho's sense not to disturb their peaceful night."
In addition to this, Ko revealed how Minho's bubble became an important part of her daily life, conveying:
"The shocking thing is the next morning. About five hours later, Minho's morning greeting arrives around 5 a.m.
At 5:25 a.m., 'Good morning! When I wake up, I have a lot of good news!!!!!' He sent six exclamation points. I just can't stand it without getting up. It's been 61 days since I shared a private message with Minho of SHINee. He became a wake-up call for an evening newspaper reporter who had to go to work by 7 a.m. every morning."
Again, 5:25 is a special date to the idol and fans, which refers to SHINee's debut anniversary celebrated every May 25.
