SHINee Profile
SHINee is SM Entertainment's newly debuted (May 25, 2008 on SBS Inkigayo - SBS 인기가요) 'Contemporary Band'. SHINee is composed of five teenagers whose ages range from 14-18 years of age, and is described as a leading contemporary band. According to SM Entertainment, SHINee is going to lead the generation with their trendy dance, fashion, and music.
SHINee is the combination of "shine" and "ee," which means "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 age or where they come from, with its diverse music.
After the success of K-pop music groups TVXQ, Super Junior and Girls' Generation, SM Entertainment decided to form another boy band to enter the K-pop scene. Unlike SM Entertainment's previous music groups, SHINee has remained a secret until May 18, 2008 when the introduction of the new group surfaced on various articles on the Internet. The members themselves were a mystery although most members made brief media and album appearances prior to debut. Jonghyun lent his voice in the duet with Zhang Liyin, "An Amorous Love" (交错的爱), which was recorded in Zhang Liyin's first Chinese album. Key made a cameo appearance in Super Junior's first film, Attack on the Pin-Up Boys. Minho appeared in a fashion show in March 2008.
