SM Entertainment, which has already released some of the popular groups in the Kpop scene like TVXQ, Super Junior and Girls’ Generation, is coming out with a new male group called “Shinee.” Shinee, described as a contemporary band, is composed of members whose ages range from 14-18 years old and who go by the names of Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, Minho and Key (picture above: L-R).
According to SM Entertainment, Shinee is going to lead this generation’s trendy dance, fashion and music. With regard to its name, the label explains that it is a combination of the word “shine” and “ee,” which is to mean “people receiving the light.” This light, as applied to the group, is the “spotlight” directed toward Shinee, whose goal is to fascinate fans, regardless of their ages or where they come from, with its diverse music.
A teaser video of the group was released today, May 19, in its official homepage and also Daum tvpot (I love the song!). Shinee’s first mini album and music video are set to be released on the 22nd.
