Taemin talks about being prettier than a girl

On the March 1 airing of MBC FM4U's 'Park Kyung Lim's 2 O'Clock Date,' Taemin relayed his honest thoughts on being deemed pretty.  

DJ Park Kyung Lim said to him, "You look like a woman - you're so pretty," and he replied, "I do hear often that I am pretty."  She continued, "You look manlier [as a solo artist] than you did in SHINee."

Taemin said to her frankly, "Still, I like being manlier more.  There are so many titles like 'Taemin who is prettier than a woman.'  I want to change."

She asked him, "How much did you grow since debut?" and he replied, "I grew about 2 cm (~ 0.8 inch).  It's already been nine years since I debuted, so I don't remember how tall I was when I debuted.  The tenth anniversary is coming up."
