In December 2022, Minho of SHINee made his solo debut with the mini-album "CHASE," and his new work, released after about two years, is his first full album that fully showcases his wide range of musical expression. Minho's 1st full album "CALL BACK" includes a total of 10 songs. The title track "CALL BACK" is a pop genre song that harmonizes a heavy bass sound with a lyrical yet intense piano line, featuring a lively guitar riff and lyrics that express feelings directly without hesitation, highlighted by his vocals. Other tracks also allow listeners to enjoy a variety of musical colors, such as "Because Of You (Feat. NINGNING of aespa)," which creates an ambiguous atmosphere with soft vocals and metaphorical lyrics expressing a breakup, and "FIREWORKS (Feat. SOHEE of RIIZE)," which conveys a positive message to light the spark of 'me' even in a complicated and tiring daily life through Minho's powerful rap and SOHEE's refreshing voice. This release has started selling with exclusive Japanese bonuses at UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE and Weverse Shop Japan, with details of the bonuses revealed. Purchasing one eligible item will grant a limited original trading card from each store on a first-come, first-served basis, along with a serial code to enter a lottery for Minho's first Japanese special event.
