K-pop boy group SHINee comes back on stage with their fifth solo concert "SHINee World V". The group has recently concluded their 3-day concert which was held from Sept. 2 to 4 at the Olympics Gymnastics Arena, Seoul.
In a report by Yonhap News Agency, SHINee had successfully gathered approximately 30,000 people and filled the concert area with fans including K-pop idols EXO's Xiumin, Hyeri of Girl's Day, 5urprise's Gong Myung, Taeyeon and Seohyun from Girls' Generation also known as SNSD, as well as Key from the group TEN!
In addition to these K-pop stars, members of mega-hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" (DOST) also came and gave their support to fellow cast and SHINee member Onew. According to Soompi, actor Han Sang Gil's Instagram account showed an image of him with Onew and fellow DOST members Hyun Jyu Ni and Kang Shin Il all smiles back stage last Sept. 2.
SHINee performed a total of 34 songs, four of which will be part of their upcoming album. The group sang and dance to their greatest hits such as "Ring Ding Dong", "Lucifer" including their debut song "Replay".
During their concert, SHINee also presented a new single "Prism", one of the songs included in their upcoming album reportedly to be released late September. In the abovementioned report by Yonhap News Agency, Taemin described the "Prism" as a "meaningful" song since this was composed by fellow member Jonghyun.
"I thought it would be a good idea to sing it to our fans, and from what I saw on stage, it was deadly. I think we were able to express our colors (through the song)," the group's maknae or youngest member said.
The Korean news agency also characterized the concert as "colorful" which was apt to the concert's theme - "Color of SHINee". The group which consists of five members namely, Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin, performed with their vibrant outfits representing each member's personality.
Yonhap News Agency even shared Key's thoughts on the concert's theme.
"We've often said that we would show you SHINee's colors, but when we thought about whether we've actually delivered on that promise, we found that there was a lot lacking," he said. "We decided to really mix it into our concert this time and not only are our clothes amazing but we put it in our direct expressions."
In addition to their colorful wardrobe and individual styling, SHINee members also had their respective solo performances.
