Shinee further consolidated their popularity on the South Korean music scene with follow-up singles "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer".

Two years later they released their second Japanese album Boys Meet U (2013), followed by I'm Your Boy (2014), D×D×D (2016), and Five (2017).

Shinee is considered to be one of the best live vocal groups in K-pop and is known for their highly synchronized and complex dance routines, having been awarded the Best Dance Performance Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards three times in a row for their dance performances to "Sherlock", "Dream Girl" and "View". Shinee's signature musical style is contemporary R&B, but the group is known for their experimental sound, incorporating various genres including funk rock, hip hop, and EDM.

Artistry

Public image

Despite the change of the concepts over the years the group's colorful and unique image always remained the main part of the group's fashion style (left: Shinee in 2012). With their later release, the group aimed for a more mature image while maintaining their "boyish charm" (right: Shinee in 2015).

Shinee is known for their fashion style, initially created by designer Ha Sang-beg (하상백), which features high-top sneakers, skinny jeans, and colorful sweaters.[176] Their style has created a fashion trend amongst students which the media dubbed the "Shinee Trend".[1][6] The group's "boyish charm" was an important factor in Shinee gaining fans. With the release of 2009, Year of Us, Shinee's style became more mature, though still maintaining Shinee's unique image. Furthermore, instead of working with famous artists and photographers, SM Entertainment's Visual and Art Directing department usually works with up-and-coming talents with new ideas for Shinee's concepts.[177] When Shinee debuted in 2008 with "Replay", it was not only their music which gained attention but also their colorful style—but even four years later, in 2012, Shinee maintained their colorful concept for Sherlock.[178] Their designer, Ha Sang-beg, stated in an interview with the Korean Times: "Much has evolved over the years, since I change their styles to reflect their music. The feel from their debut single still exists, mixing the overground [sic] with the underground, haute couture with street fashion ... but it is very modern, like Shinee."[178]

Vocals and choreography

Shinee are acknowledged for their innovative approach to music and peerless choreography and are considered as one of the best live vocalists and dancers in Korean pop,[179] known for their good vocal performances and complex choreographies as well as a unique kind of music that is quite different from usual K-pop.[1][180] At SM Entertainment's showcase in New York in October 2011, Jon Caramanica of the New York Times summarized them as "the most ambitious" of the evening and also complimented the group's strong vocal performance. Furthermore, he stated: "Their music, especially Replay, Ring Ding Dong and Juliette, felt the riskiest, even if it only slightly tweaked that polyglot Pop formula".[181] Kim Joo-hyun of Beff Report considers Shinee's greatest strength the dismantling of the boundaries between the role of main vocal and subvocal. He positively emphasised the harmony between the two main vocals, Onew and Jonghyun, saying they sing with an aesthetic of "contrast", meaning they can't be separated from each other; on the contrary, they actually suit each other when brought together. He also praised the vocal development of Taemin, the youngest member in the group.[182] Jakob Dorof of the monthly British style magazine Dazed described Shinee with the words "technicolor visuals", "choreography as coordinated as ballet", and "wildly adventurous hit songs", stating they are a group that embodies the harmony of these qualities better than anyone else.[1] Tamar Herman of Paste Magazine described Shinee as one of K-pop's most popular dance groups, "with cutting edge dance moves that are just as technically creative as the songs they've performed".[183]

Shinee have worked with top choreographers such as Rino Nakasone, who choreographed Shinee's early songs like "Replay"[184] and "Love Like Oxygen" in 2008,[185] "Juliette" in 2009,[185] and the group's hit single "Lucifer" in 2010,[185] which was nominated for the Best Dance Performance at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in 2010.[41] Misha Gabriel choreographed the songs "Amigo" (2008)[186] and "Ring Ding Dong" (2009).[187] Tony Testa worked on Shinee's later hit songs like "Sherlock" (2012) and "Dream Girl" (2013), which are characterized by a unique and distinctive style,[188] while Ian Eastwood worked on "View" (2015) – breaking away from the group's usual powerful and precise choreography and working instead with a groove style that showcases the teamwork of the group.[189] All three songs were awarded with the Best Dance Performance Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards: in 2012, 2013, and 2015.[190][191][192]

Musical style and themes

"I've learned there are quite a few things we can do as a group that wouldn't be possible if I were alone. So when we work together, we try more challenging things with everything. Even if we question whether we can pull it off, we always try. As SHINee, we have to keep striving and do things that are a bit more sophisticated and detailed."

–Member Jonghyun discussing the group's music styles.[1]

The predominant musical genre of the group is contemporary R&B.[3] The group's early hits like "Replay" and "Lucifer" veered toward R&B and dance pop,[179] while singles such as "Get Down" and "Jo Jo" explored other musical styles such as hip-hop and dance.[33][193] Shinee's third album is significantly influenced by funk rock, electronic music and rock.[194][195] Billboard columnist Jeff Benjamin compared Shinee's songs like "Punch Drunk Love" and "Aside" to the sounds of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, while tracks like "Beautiful" and "Runaway" combine "unique electronic production elements over sugary boy band harmonies to create year-round pop music".[195]

Shinee as a group is known for their experimental sound and various genres with every new release[196] like the group's fifth extended play, Everybody, whose title song is classified under the complextro genre.[197] Jakob Dorof of Tiny Mix Tapes stated that "Everybody is proof positive that, even in a culture industry designed to minimize the role of real musicianship, talent will find its way to the top." He also remarked that "Close the Door" highlights the experimental and versatile nature of Shinee's music which frequently charts into unfamiliar territories.[198]

With the release of their fourth Korean album, Odd, Shinee returned to their old sound while experimenting with new genres like deep house. The album featured songs in an array of styles including the two singles the electro-house "View" and Rocky Horror-inspired funk track "Married to the Music."[179] Alexis Hodoyan-Gastelum of MTV IGGY praised the title song, "View", describing it as a great, laid back summer jam even though "the song fools us into thinking it's an uptempo ballad before reaching its techno peak at the chorus."[199][200] Jeff Benjamin on the other hand praised "Odd Eye", which is written and composed by member Jonghyun. Benjamin states the group's "return to the R&B side of Shinee with feathery vocals, tight harmonies and member Onew's falsetto howls acting a centerpiece to this grooving opener" but he also adds, "despite initially debuting with a R&B sound, Shinee is arguably most exciting when experimenting".[201]

Endorsements

Early in their career, Shinee were endorsers for several brands, such as the cosmetic brand Nana's B[202] and the sports brand Reebok.[203] Later, they endorsed the clothing brand Maypole[204][205][206] as well as the popular Korean cosmetic brands Etude House[207][208][209] and The Saem.[210] In 2012, Etude House's Lash Pump 3-Step Volume-Cara, a PC-based and mobile micro-site featuring "doll eyelashes" main model Sandara Park and Shinee—appearing as puppets—was awarded first place for the Movile Marketing and Product Promotions category at the 9th Web Award Korea.[211] The group was also part of the popular Korean comic The Blade of the Phantom Master and then-new webtoon series ENT.[212] Furthermore, the group endorsed the sports brand Skechers[213] and collaborated with Naver and Skechers for T-shirts and caps designed by the group members.[214][215][216] Companies whose products are promoted by the Shinee label often see increased revenue; for example, "Shinee's Sparking Water", a carbonated bottled water sold by E-mart, boasted a combined sales of 67 million won over a one-month period.[217][218]
