SHINee, a hit rookie on the 17th anniversary of their debut... Jong Hyun achieves career high

The group SHINee has proven itself as a hit rookie group by achieving a career high even 17 years after their debut.
According to the Hanteo Chart on June 2nd, SHINee's new single "Poet | Artist" will be released on May 25th.
Since its release on the 1st, 216,594 copies have been sold in one week. This is a new personal best for SHINee's "initial sales" (sales in the first week of album release).
Previously, SHINee recorded initial sales of 206,574 copies for their 8th full-length album "HARD," released on June 26, 2023.

It is even more special that this achievement was achieved with a new song sung with Jong Hyun. The title song "Poet | Artist" is a song that Jong Hyun wrote with all his heart for SHINee.
The single's name has also been decided to be the same as the title of Jong Hyun's full album "Poet | Artist" released on January 23, 2018.
In terms of genre, the song is classified as electropop, with aggressive snares and reggae rhythms harmoniously added to the vocal riff that is the main theme of the song.
Jong Hyun also took a leading role in composing "SOULTRiii" alongside DEEZ and YUNSU, adding another sweet color to SHINee's unique musical palette.
The lyrics, which Jong Hyun wrote exclusively and handwritten, express his appreciation for the literary and poetic tolerance he applies to not only artistic works but also to everyday life, creating a frame for the song.
It contains an enterprising message of breaking away from convention and creating something new together, and is packed with Jong Hyun's genius, including his unique wordplay.
This is because, starting with their debut song "You're So Pretty (Replay)" in 2008, they have been releasing songs like "Odd One" for 17 years without pause.
By sending out their music and performances to the world, they hope to become a contemporary band that leads the way by presenting trends in music, dance, and fashion.
It sounds like a self-introduction by SHINee, who have embodied their initial goal of becoming a new band. Their experimental spirit in music is still strong even after 17 years since their debut.
