The upcoming release will include two tracks that showcase SHINee's latest musical and performance style. Now marking 17 years since their debut, the SHINee members continue to thrive both as a group and as individual artists. Leader Onew recently completed his first solo North American tour, "Connection," and is set to release his second full-length solo album in July. Minho, who debuted as a stage actor last year with the play "Waiting for Waiting for Godot," has since solidified his presence with the comedy play "Rendezvous." Youngest member Taemin wrapped up the finale of his first solo world tour "Ephemeral Gaze" at KSPO Dome in late April, while Key, who held a solo Asia tour and released a solo album last year, is actively appearing on various entertainment shows this year.
