Career
Predebut
In 2011, Shin Jongkook finished as TOP 13 on Superstar K3.[1]
SPEED
On November 4, 2011, Core Contents Media announced that Shin Jongkook had joined Speed as a replacement for original Coed School member, Kangho. The group made their first performance on Music Bank on February 17, 2012.[2]
Speed originally was introduced as Coed School's male unit but they became an independent group in 2013 after Core Contents Media stated that they have no plans for Co-Ed School to reform again as both of its sub-units had grown and changed their line-ups to become independent ensembles.
In November 2015, MBK Entertainment removed the group's profile page from their official website causing the band ultimately disbanded.[3]
Solo Activities
Singer Yangpa made a comeback in April 2012, releasing the album Together, featuring other singers including Jongkook.[4] Yangpa's song featuring Jongkook Parting Is All the Same is an alternative version of Love Is All the Same by Yangpa featuring Haeri of Davichi and Hanna (Nayeon) of F-ve Dolls.[5]
Jongkook made a cameo appearance, taking on the role of a Power Vocalist in the MBC drama Lights and Shadows.[6]
Shannon made a pre-debut song titled "Remember You" with Jongkook which was released on January 29, 2014. The song is a ballad sung with orchestra music and beautiful harmony.[7][8]
