SHINee Minho Announces Solo Comeback with ‘CALL BACK’ Teaser

SHINee’s Minho Prepares for Full Album Release with ‘CALL BACK’ Teaser

On October 15 at midnight KST, Minho officially announced the release of his first full-length album titled ‘CALL BACK’.

The album is set to drop on November 4 at 6 p.m. KST, marking Minho’s return to music after approximately 10 months since the release of his digital single “Stay for a night”. Fans are eagerly anticipating what new music and styles Minho will bring in this upcoming project, as it will showcase his growth as a solo artist.

In addition to his music career, Minho has also been active in acting. He recently appeared in the JTBC drama “Romance in the House”, playing the role of Nam Tae Pyeong, a former national taekwondo player who now works as a security guard at a large supermarket.

Although Nam Tae Pyeong is the son of J Plus Mart’s CEO, he chooses to live independently, distancing himself from his chaebol background. His character develops a romantic relationship with Byun Mi Rae, portrayed by Son Naeun, who works as a merchandiser at the same supermarket and is also the breadwinner of her family.

Minho shared his thoughts on his role, stating, “I prepared diverse styling and acted with different facial expressions and gestures depending on the situation. I made an effort so that viewers could immerse themselves more deeply in Tae Pyeong’s story and emotions.” He further explained his decision to keep his distance from co-star Son Naeun at the beginning of filming, saying, “Just like the progression in the drama, I thought that starting off awkward and gradually becoming closer would naturally be reflected in our acting.”

With his new album and recent acting achievements, Minho continues to showcase his versatility as both a singer and an actor, exciting fans for what’s to come.

CNBLUE Confirms 1st Comeback In 3 Years

Get ready for CNBLUE’s long-awaited return! The pop rock back is getting ready for their first comeback in 3 years!

CNBLUE Set For 1st Comeback in 3 Years With ‘X’

On September 23 at midnight KST, CNBLUE excited fans by officially unveiling the schedule for their highly anticipated comeback, which will mark their first release in three years. The band will be dropping their 10th mini album ‘X’ on October 14 at 6 p.m. KST, setting the stage for their triumphant return to the music scene.

Earlier this year, CNBLUE delighted their fanbase by debuting a new official light stick. On June 10, they released photos showcasing the sleek design of their light stick, along with leader Jung Yong Hwa’s custom emblem, which added a personal touch to the merchandise. The unveiling of the light stick also served as a teaser of their ongoing plans, sparking excitement for their eventual comeback.

Formed in 2009, CNBLUE quickly rose to fame and has remained one of Korea’s most beloved bands. The current lineup consists of Jung Yong Hwa (leader, main vocals, guitar, keyboard, rap), Kang Min Hyuk (drums), and Lee Jung Shin (bass). Over the years, CNBLUE has seen changes in its lineup, with bassist Kwon Kwang Jin leaving shortly after their debut in Japan and being replaced by Lee Jung Shin. In 2019, guitarist and vocalist Lee Jong Hyun also departed from the band.

CNBLUE’s name also carries a meaningful message: CN stands for Code Name, while BLUE is a backronym that represents the members’ traits—“Burning” for Jong Hyun, “Lovely” for Min Hyuk, “Untouchable” for Jung Shin, and “Emotional” for Yong Hwa. The group made a splash with their Korean debut on January 14, 2010, with the hit single “I’m a Loner” from their first Korean EP ‘Bluetory’.

Fans are also eagerly counting down the days to the release of ‘X’, excited to see CNBLUE’s musical evolution after their three-year hiatus.
