Fans have been head over heels for some of these recent film camera shots of SHINee from their "Hard" promotions, but they were even more surprised after finding out who the photographer was.
While carrying out promotions for their 8th full album title track "Hard", the SHINee members treated fans to some up-close, behind-the-scenes photos via SNS. Many fans complimented the unique and stylish vibe of the photos, and wondered who the photographer was.
SHINee member Key then shared the answer on his Instagram recently by giving a shoutout to the photographer herself! He said, "Ji Hyang, I hope you'll be blessed," indicating that the recent film camera photos of SHINee members backstage were taken by the female dancer, Ji Hyang.
Dancer Ji Hyang (top left in the photo below) has previously garnered attention among K-Pop fans in the past for her idol-like beauty. Now, it looks like she's gaining fame once again for her photography skills!
Netizens commented, "SM should pay her a bonus for these pics", "She's really good at taking photos. I wonder what camera she uses", "They should hire her as a backstage photographer lol", "I hope she takes photos of my idol if she works with them", "These look like professional quality photos", and more.
Her skills are really good!
On the other hand, looks like some of SM's artists are trying to help and compensate in a way, for the poor promotion made by their agency. Is the agency short of money or they're just focusing on the 3-4 favorites, ignoring the other artists?
Btw, I remember that fans had to protest against the petty venue chosen by the agency for SHINee's 15th anniversary. Good that they changed it
