Talk about a difficult post! Despite loving this group so much, their great volume of songs, awards and events made me put off the post until I was ready to prepare it in the best possible way. So here it is: SHINee!

    Formed by SM Entertainment in 2008, SHINee is a five-member boy group. Also known as "Asia's Dance Group", the group presents extreme yet smooth dance routines with good vocals and a fashion, trending image.

    Their debut mini-album, "Replay", was released in May 2008. It was already enough to earn the boys their first award: "Rookie of the Month". The title track, a contemporary R&B song, attracted many fans either for the dance version of the music video or the catchy, amazing song.

    In August of that same year, following the steady rise of popularity, SHINee released the first full-length album, "The Shinee World". The chosen track for promotions was "Love Like Oxygen", which ended up successfully winning weekly music shows awards. 

    After multiple awards, including "Best New Artist" and "Best Style Icon", SME announced the repackaged version of the first album with three new songs. The new title-track was "A.Mi.Go", a song with a strong beat and message.

    2009 was definitely SHINee's breakthrough year in my opinion. With the release of the second mini-album "Romeo" in February and the promotion of "Juliette", the boy group established a stable fan base, which would then skyrocket five months later...

    With the release of the third mini-album "2009, Year Of Us" in October, their time to shine finally came. The main track for this production was "Ring Ding Dong", a song with expert usage of auto-tune while maintaining distinctive vocals and an awesome, binding beat. It obviously won the "Popularity" award.

    The third mini-album's biggest importance was, in my view, the exposure that the video had in the Internet, attracting thousands of international fans. After "Ring Ding Dong", SHINee's fame all over the world went to a whole new level. And it was with that in mind that almost a year later, in July 2010, SM Entertainment announced the second full-album, entitled "Lucifer". 

    Following the SME tradition, a repackaged second album, now called "Hello", was released just some months after "Lucifer". Featuring three new tracks and a new music video, the repackage showed a totally different, more innocent image. Pleasing innumerous fans, the new song was another success. (I even bought the album :DDD )

    After such a busy period, SHINee could rest for a short time. Actually, for a really short time, as the group would have their first solo concert in December 2010. It was a total success, with 24,000 fans cheering for them! In the concert, the members announced their plans to enter the Japanese market in 2011. It's expected to happen this March, so look forward to it!
