In the ever-changing landscape of K-pop or the music industry in general, a
group’s longevity is hard to predict. SHINee, known for their strong
musicality, unique fashion sense, and distinct sound, have maintained success
since debuting in 2008 with their hit “Replay.” SHINee is a group that
cannot be overlooked when looking at the history of K-pop and their songs are
easily identifiable with the distinct voices of each member.
When they first came into the public eye, SHINee caught everyone’s attention
with their unique fashion sense and “boyish” appeal. Since then, they have
released hit after hit and have experimented with a variety of musical
styles. SHINee hasn’t promoted much in the West, but in Asia, SHINee have
broken countless records both in sales and achievements. A look into SHINee’
s discography will give anyone new to K-pop an idea of how the industry has
evolved over time with a solid and diverse medley of tracks.
Members Onew, Key, Minho, and Taemin have been stronger and closer than ever
since the loss of lead singer Jonghyun in 2017 with a strong bond that cannot
be replicated, and continue to cultivate a signature sound unique to their
group as SHINee. With three members having completed their two-year-long
mandatory military service in 2020, they are back with their seventh studio
album “Don’t Call Me.” With the title track, SHINee proves their staying
power once again.
