SHINee Fans Celebrate 9 Amazing Years Since Their Debut

It’s hard to believe, but SHINee is now nine years old!

The K-pop legends made their debut on May 25 of 2008 with their now classic hit “Replay,” and have gone on to be a leader in the “Korean Wave” throughout the globe. They have released five studio albums and five mini albums in Korea, as well as several releases in Japan, and most recently made a comeback with their repackaged version of their hit album “1 of 1” last November. Known for their unique and innovative music, impressive talents, and downright delightful chemistry, SHINee will certainly continue to make history in the years to come.

As today is SHINee’s ninth anniversary, fans have taken to social media to celebrate by looking back at their amazing years together. The hashtag in Korean “SHINee, thank you for shining for nine years” (#샤이니_9년동안_빛나줘서_고마워) is now trending at No. 1 worldwide on Twitter!

Check out just some of the posts made by fans below as we all celebrate SHINee’s special day.
