History
SM Entertainment confirmed on July 22, 2016, that Shinee would be kicking off their fifth concert tour, Shinee World V, in September 2016.[1] Originally, there were to be two concerts held on September 3 and 4 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, but a third was added for September 2 after heavy demand for ticketing.[2] All tickets for the first two shows sold out in under five minutes. The set list for the concert focused on songs both old and new, and featured the first performances of four songs from their fifth album, 1 of 1. The songs included were "Prism", "Feel Good", "Don't Let Me Go" and "So Amazing". They also previewed the dance and a sound sample of their promotional title track, "1 of 1". During the September 4 concert, member Onew sprained his ankle during a performance which led to Shinee's comeback being delayed by a few weeks.[3] The three concerts drew in an estimated 30,000 fans.[4]
On September 30, it was confirmed that Shinee would be holding three concerts in Yokohama, Japan, at Yokohama Arena between December 9–11. This marked the first time that a concert was held in Japan outside of their arena tours since their first solo concert tour in 2010, Shinee World. The concerts drew in an estimated 45,000 fans.[5] In March 2017, Shinee travelled to North America for their first solo concerts on the continent. They held two concerts in Toronto and Vancouver, followed by further shows in Dallas and Los Angeles.[6] The US performances each drew a "full house" with each stop drawing in crowds of over 6,000.[7] Shinee held a concert in Hong Kong on May 20. This marked their first time performing a solo concert in Hong Kong since their second concert tour in 2012, Shinee World II.[8] They held another concert in Bangkok on June 24, 2017, at Thunder Dome MuangThong Thani. It was the last concert stop for Shinee World V.[9]
