SHINee Makes a Triumphant Return with Full Lineup to Celebrate 17th Anniversary

The iconic K-pop group SHINee (온유, 민호, 키, 태민) has made a heartfelt comeback, reuniting as a complete five-member ensemble, including the late Jonghyun (고 종현). This return is particularly significant as it marks the 17th anniversary of the group, celebrated with their new single 'Poet | Artist'. Released at midnight on May 25, the single features the title track and an additional song titled 'Starlight', showcasing SHINee's signature lyrical and refreshing style.
The title track 'Poet | Artist' explores themes of creativity and breaking boundaries, encouraging listeners to apply poetic and artistic expressions not only in art but also in everyday life. This electro-pop song leaves a strong impression with its catchy vocal riffs, snappy snare, and reggae-inspired rhythms.
What makes this release even more special is Jonghyun's contribution, as he was involved in writing and composing the music before his passing. This release serves as a poignant gift for fans, allowing them to experience the full quintet on their debut anniversary.
On May 23, SHINee kicked off their seventh solo concert, where they previewed the two new songs, setting the stage for their comeback. The performance highlighted the members' synergy through intricate choreography and a deep connection to the song's messages.
With Jonghyun's spirit shining through, SHINee's 17th anniversary comeback is a truly remarkable event for fans, celebrating the unity of all five members once again.
