In addition to this, the foundation will also sell products such as candles, markers bags, wallets, and more, in which 100 people who purchased products from the foundation worth over 100,000 won will obtain a special scrubber made personally by SHINee Onew's mother.

Meanwhile, Shiny Foundation, which was established by Jonghyun's family, carries the legacy of the late idol as a philanthropist.

The aim of the foundation is to support young musicians financially and also give out scholarships to those who are struggling due to a lack of support and management. Aside from products and bazaars, the organization was also funded through Jonghyun's copyright fees of his existing music.

Just recently, the male idol also celebrated his birthday on April 8, which made the online bazaar more meaningful.

SHINee Kicked off with their New Track "Atlantis" + Honor Jonghyun through their Repackage Album

SHINee, who kicked off with their repackage album, "Atlantis" on April 12, draw attention both from K-pop fans and various music charts.

Upon the release of their new track, "Atlantis," it immediately entered the top 10 of domestic charts, including Bugs and Genie. In the latter chart, the song also hit its first roof hit on the morning of April 13.

The album then made its way on iTunes Worldwide Album Chart, as it debuted at No. 2. Additionally, the MV for "Atlantis" also reached 5 million views in 21 hours and 25 minutes, showing an impressive record.

On the other hand, aside from their records, the overall album and three new tracks released drew more attention due to SHINee's gestures in honor of their fifth member, Jonghyun.

In the MV, K-pop fans, particularly shawols, noticed the significant space provided in their choreography, which is apparently dedicated to the late idol.

Their new song "Area" then cemented how SHINee wants to imply that they are always five, regardless of being four physically as it contained lyrics such as, "Your vacancy can't be filled//I'm back to that day, stuck in the same area//Always in the same place, oh yeah."

It was initially reported that Minho co-wrote the whole lyrics, and prior to its release, the main rapper of the group left a meaningful message saying, "I hope you don't feel too sad [while listening to the song.]"
