Introduction

SHINee is a South Korean boy group originally consisting of five members. They are widely recognized as one of the leaders of the 'Hallyu' or Korean wave. Under the management of SM Entertainment, the five members—Onew, Key, Taemin, Minho, and the late Jonghyun—made their official debut in 2008 with their debut single "Replay," propelling them to stardom and eventually becoming trendsetters in South Korean music and even fashion.

Moreover, SHINee earned numerous awards and recognition through their timeless hit songs and internationally acclaimed stage performances, even earning the nickname 'Princes of Kpop.'

Besides being one of the most iconic K-pop acts, each member also made a mark with their successful solo activities in fields within and outside the music industry.

In June 2023, SHINee celebrated their 15th debut anniversary by holding sold-out concerts and releasing their 8th studio album, proving the group's unwavering popularity and influence across multiple generations.
