The Mod
Mod Pearl (they/them, 18+) has been a fan of SHINee since ... a long time ago. SHINee was the first Kpop group they listened to and really started to follow.
Taemin was, and still is, their ultimate bias. ♡
The Fest
The GIRLnee fest is for writers and fans of femslash/wlw and SHINee. It is a safe place for expression and enjoyment.
We do not assume the sexualities nor gender identities of any of the members and respect their public identities.
