Taemin of SHINee arrives in Korea after Kstyle Party 2026. Q&A video released, featuring other K-POP artists in the event.

SHINee’s Onew has returned with his new single “Illusion” after about seven months. The release features three title tracks, including “Illusion,” “Mind Games” with Yuju, and “Tic Tac Toe” featuring Zico. The song and MV highlight his musical range and growth as a singer-songwriter.

SHINee’s Minho showed a calm, composed mood in a marie claire photoshoot, posing against a wide blue grassland. In an interview, he discussed preparing his second mini album, Make it hot, described it as an “expansion,” and expressed deep gratitude to fans for his growth.

SHINee’s Onew teamed up with Block B’s Zico for “Tic Tac Toe,” the second title track from the single “Illusion,” released on the 7th at 6 p.m. The R&B hip-hop song uses a game metaphor to portray the subtle emotions and relationship between a man and a woman. The core of the song is Onew and Zico’s different interpretations of the “some” relationship, and their unusual collaboration drew attention even before release. Fans have praised their chemistry.

SHINee’s Minho has announced a solo concert, “MINHO CONCERT <MEAN : of feral> in TOKYO,” to be held over two days, February 20 and 21, 2027, at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. The show will feature stages expressing his world, and a fan club campaign will also be held.

SHINee’s Onew has teamed up with Block B’s Zico for the title track “Tic Tac Toe” from his new single “Illusion,” set for release on the 20th at 6 p.m. Through official SNS, Onew unveiled a teaser poster and highlighted the collaboration. The single also includes “Mind Games” with former GFRIEND member Yuju, raising expectations for his special musical synergy and triple title-track project.

KGMA will debut “KGMA Star Road” at the 2026 ceremony, replacing the traditional red carpet with a content experience that begins as artists enter the venue and interact with fans. SHINee’s Minho, MONSTA X’s Shownu and Hyungwon, DAY6’s Young K, and many others will appear. The event is set for November 7-8 at Gocheok Sky Dome, with tickets on sale October 2 at 6 p.m. via NOL.

Onew of SHINee and former GFRIEND member Yuju perform a well-matched duet on “Mind Games,” a pre-released title track from Onew’s new single “Illusion.” The minimalist R&B song, built on vocals and acoustic guitar, portrays a fragile relationship where pride comes before love.

SHINee’s Taemin has postponed the North American leg of his 2026–2027 world tour, LiMiNaL, because U.S. visa and related administrative procedures remain unclear and are affecting production staff. The tour is not canceled, and new dates and venues are being arranged. Ticket refunds are available.
