SHINee Complete Albums Info
On May 25, 2008, SM Entertainment debuted the five-member group SHINee. The group was described as a “contemporary R&B group” with the hope that its talent and image would transcend music into dance and fashion. The group’s name is something of a portmanteau of the words “shine,” meaning light, and “ee,” which means to receive (said light). Leader Onew was joined by Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin and together they became the “Princes of K-Pop.” Sadly, in 2017 Jonghyun took his own life, sparking a movement throughout K-Pop to advocate for greater protection of all idols. Despite this tragedy, the now-four-member group has maintained its massive success, both domestically and throughout the world.
