SHINee are described by SM Entertainment as a "contemporary band". They gained particular attention from the Korean press due to the fact that they are all middle school students aged between 14 and 18. The members were chosen due to not only their singing and dancing abilities but also due to their language skills, the members being able to speak Korean, Chinese and English.
The name SHINee is derived from the English word "shine" with the suffix "ee" (the name is pronounced the same as the English word "shiny") and is interpreted as meaning a person in the limelight. It is said to represent the group's ambition to mesmerise music fans of all ages with a variety of musical styles.
The hype around the group began when a teaser video was posted on the group's official site. Netizens were keen to hear the new group and started drawing comparisons to DBSK and Big Bang due to not only the group's music but due to their appearance.
The hype was not without reason, the group's album being backed not only by one of the biggest entertainment companies in Korea but also but a team of stellar songwriters including Young Jin-Yoo, Young Hu-Kim and Jamie Jones of American boy band All 4 One.
The group officially debuted on May 22nd 2008 with the release of their debut mini-album Nunan neomu yeppeo (Replay) and on May 25th 2008, the group made their first appearance on TV on the show "SBS Popular Songs".
The future looks bright for this new group, with potential listeners throughout Asia.
