Shinee
is a South Korean contemporary R&B boy group under the management of SM
Entertainment. Formed in 2008, the group consists of Onew, Jonghyun, Key,
Minho, and Taemin. They made their debut on May 25, 2008 on SBS's Inkigayo with
their single, "Replay".
Since
their debut, Shinee has released three full-length albums (in Korean language;
with one being a separate double-album release), five mini-albums, one live
album and various singles. They have also won many awards, held three concert
tours and starred in their own reality shows. Shinee is considered to be a
fashion icon having started the “Shinee Trend” and is known for their highly
synchronized and complex dancing.
They
made their debut on June 22, 2011 by releasing a Japanese version of their
single, Replay, and gained the title, "The artist who managed to
get in top 3 for 3 continuous releases since debut," for the foreign
artist category. Such an achievement had never been gained by anyone else ever
since the single ranking chart was established 45 years ago, in January 1968,
followed by their first Japanese studio album, The First on December 7,
2011. Their second Japanese album, Boys Meet U, was released on June 26,
2013 under EMI Records Japan after EMI Music Japan was officially absorbed into
Universal Music Japan and was renamed to "EMI Records Japan".
