How Does SM Dispute Affect Its Artists? SHINee Key Mentions Recent Status

On February 13, SHINee Key dropped his second full-length repackage album, "Killer," with the title track of the same name. Ahead of its release, the male idol held a countdown live on YouTube and SHINee TikTok channels to communicate with Shawols (fans) and talk about his latest album.

On the same day, the music video for the same name title track was uploaded on SMTOWN's official YouTube channel, amassing 1.5 million views in about 15 hours since its release.

"Killer" is continuously earning attention from various music-streaming platforms as well for its up-tempo dance genre song with impressive retro sounds based on new waves and synth-pop in the 80s.

In addition, the track sets a dark mood with signature synthesizers, rhythmical drum lines and various FX sounds.

In particular, SHINee Key's new song contains the regrets and pain that cannot forget the other person after saying a cruel goodbye to the lyrics.

The music video also captures the eyes of the character who showed a cold back to the lover as a "killer," someone who breaks the relationship.
