SHINee to Collaborate with Jinro
In particular, SHINee, known for their modifier "Princes of K-pop" recently made their comeback on Feb. 22, with their seventh full-length album, "Don't Call Me," with a hysterical track with the same name.
On the same day, Key, one of the members of the group posted a soju bottle from Jinro with the label, "SHINee is back." He also posted a photo with Jinro's mascot.
As the group has been spoiling their upcoming events lately through social media platforms, fans are quick to conclude that the group will be working on a project with the popular liquor brand.
Shortly after, Onew, the leader of SHINee also posted a photo along with the mascot, pre-announcing a promotion carried out by the liquor company and SHINee.
At the news of the special promotion, fans expressed their expectations by responding, "It's soju bottle, but I want to keep it," and "I'll buy it as a chest when it's released."
SHINee x Jinro: late Jonghyun's Wish was Finally Fulfilled
At the same time, several fans of the idol group recalled the SNS posts that member Jonghyun left during his lifetime.
Jonghyun's post dated back in 2016 mentioned "beer glass goods."The former Jonghyun shared to his fans how his older sister brags about a Shinwa good which is a beer glass.
"I came home from the concert and my sister brags about Shinhwa goods."
In Korea, only the top and most popular K-pop idols and groups can only be the face and can bag a CF for top soju and beer brands, thus his sister asked him, "You can't make this yet, right?"
The late idol then shared his wishful thinking saying, "After 10 years, I want to have a beer glass."
It has not been 10 years yet, but fans are updating Jonghyun about SHINee's special promotion with the liquor brand.
Comments such as "Jonghyun, what's a beer glass? We are going for Soju bottle goods." "Jonghyun's dream of a beer glass came true like this," and "You didn't have to wait for 10 years."
Though it's not a beer glass, SHINee landing a special promotion with the soju brand is actually better, as this alcoholic beverage is the most iconic in Korea.
The five-member group, which is complete despite being four physically continue to remember him as well, either by simply putting five emojis in their posts, posting five photos together and Key also expressed his longing for his brother-like member by uploading a commemorative photo with the caption, "I miss you so much and I love you."
5HINee, who returned as a complete group after about two years and seven months, released their seventh full-length album, "Don't Call Me" on Feb. 22, introducing nine new tracks. Upon its release, it immediately climbed atop the iTunes Top Albums charts in 45 regions around the world, proving its powerful potential to sweep global charts.
On the other hand, as of press, SHINee officially released Jinro x SHINee "Don't Call Me" video on their official YouTube channel.
