SINGAPORE: Korean boy band SHINee have released a new Japanese single "1000 Years, Always by Your Side" on Wednesday, despite just concluding their final concert of the year last weekend in Singapore.
While Singapore fans were not lucky enough to be able to hear their new single live at the SHINee World II concert at the Indoor Stadium, they did, however, got to see the quintet perform "Always Love", a track from their Japanese album "The First", and another 28 tracks in the three-hour show.
As the lights in the stadium dimmed, unveiling a sea of opalescent aqua green light sticks, SHINee members Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Taemin and Minho slowly made their way on stage through a gigantic space shuttle-like model - as though they had descended on another world.
The first track "Lucifer" came on and fans were immediately brought into SHINee's world.
Wasting no time, the boy band performed another three fan-favourites -- "Amigo", "Juliette" and "The SHINee World" -- before greeting the 7,500-strong crowd, who sang and cheered in unison with the group.
But SHINee, who had performed just two weeks ago at SM Town Live at The Float @ Marina Bay, did not just mesmerize the crowd with their synchronised dance moves and group performances -- the five members also took turns to charm their fans with their solo acts.
Minho and Taemin showed off their rocker vibes with "Turn Up The Music" and "Get Up" respectively, while Onew made fans swoon at his feet with his sweet and sincere performance of "I Won't Give Up" and "Passionate Goodbye".
It was Jonghyun and Taemin's performance of "Internet War", however, that received electrifying screams from the mostly-female crowd.
Appearing sans shirt, a bronzed and toned Jonghyun engaged in an intense 'war' with the youngest member of the band –- teasing and belting it out on stage -- throwing the crowd into fits of frenzy.
The band's high-energy performance was carried out all through the evening, with surprises for fans scattered throughout, such as the autographed coloured balls and 'SHINee currency' that the members threw at the crowd towards end of the concert.
Ending the concert on a high note, the crew surprised the December babies, Onew and Minho, with birthday cakes and a cake-smashing party that got the members, faces all smeared with cream.
Instead of fussing over their face and hair, the five members just went around the extended stage, bowing and thanking all their fans.
