However, expectations and interest are already rising as SHINee dominated numerous charts around the world following their long-awaited return to the K-pop scene as a full group. Also, Shawol (SHINee's fan club) is already celebrating on social media about the band's possible return.
SHINee's Comeback after Nearly Three Years with "Don't Call Me"
SHINee was inactive in the K-pop scene since late 2018 due to the members' mandatory military service. Onew enlisted in the military in December of that same year, Key on March 4, 2019, and Minho on April 15, 2019. Taemin was the only member left active in the entertainment industry, and so he made his solo comeback with his third Korean studio album, "Never Gonna Dance Again."
Onew, Key, and Minho all completed their military service last year and reunited with Taemin. The quartet participated in SM Entertainment's online concert "SMTOWN LIVE 'Culture Humanity,'" where SM Entertainment revealed that a full-member SHINee comeback will be happening this year.
