By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Singer-actress Sharon Cuneta is proving she is a definite SHAWOL as she fangirls over the reunion of K-pop boy group SHINee.

On Sunday, November 15, member Minho was officially relieved of his military enlistment, ending the military hiatus or “militatus” of the group.

On Instagram, the 54-year-old singer reposted the group's photo as they watch member Taemin perform his latest album in SBS Inkigayo, with Minho still wearing his military uniform.

“YESSSSSS. My beloved boys are back!” she wrote in the caption.

“'SHINee's BACK!' I can already hear Minho saying it! OMG COVID, GO AWAY NOW! When my boys make their comeback, I'm going to fly wherever they are, god-willing!”

In her YouTube channel, Sharon shared her love for the K-pop boy group and said that they make her happy.

“Like I always say, there's no age limit to what makes you happy, to loving what you love,” she said.

“I guess, for me, especially because I had my show for so many years when I was in my twenties and thirties, and I did a lot of singing of all genres and a lot of dancing as well, so I appreciate the dancing and the singing, and that just doesn't end… it doesn't stop.”

She added, “But really, SHINee is good, no matter what age you are.

“I'm a proud Shawol. I'm a proud SHINee fan. I am not ashamed of it. I love it because they make me happy.”
