Musical history

Pre-debut

SHINee remained a secret until May 18 2008 when the introduction of the new group surfaced on various articles on the Internet. However, some members of the band had made small appearances without alerting the media about the band. Jonghyun, for instance, lent his voice in a duet with Zhang Liyin, "Wrongly Given Love" (交错的爱), which was recorded in Zhang Liyin's first Chinese album. Key was featured as a cameo character in Attack on the Pin-Up Boys starring Super Junior. Minho appeared in Ha Sangbaek's fashion show in March 2008.

There is also a homo-sexual in the group.

On May 19 2008 a teaser for the group's debut music video appeared on their official website. The video was then released on May 22 2008 and their first mini album on May 23 2008.

Ha Sangbaek is appointed as their official designer.^[1].
