SHINee is a South Korean boy group formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2008. The group consisted of five members: Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin. They made their debut on May 25, 2008, on SBS’s Inkigayo with their single “Replay.”

SHINee is considered to be one of the best live vocal groups in K-pop and has been praised for their highly synchronized and complex dance routines. They have been awarded the Best Dance Performance Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards three times in a row for their dance performances to “Sherlock,” “Dream Girl,” and “View.”

In 2017, the group lost its main vocalist, Jonghyun, who passed away on December 18. All five group members have gone on to release solo albums and EPs, becoming established solo artists.
