SHINee is the only group missing from SM's 30th-anniversary album among the other existing contracted artists

 The 30th-anniversary album includes a total of 17 songs, including SM's new group song that is also the title track, 'Thank You,' as well as remakes of SM Ent.'s legendary hit songs reinterpreted by senior and junior artists to fit each group's individuality and music style.

Kangta will remake S.E.S.'s 'Just A Feeling', BoA will remake SHINee Jonghyun's 'End of A Day', TVXQ will remake Red Velvet's 'Psycho', Super Junior will remake Shinhwa's 'I Pray 4 U', SNSD will remake The Grace's 'My Everything', EXO will remake H.O.T.'s 'Git It Up!', Red Velvet will remake SNSD's 'Run Devil Run', NCT 127 will remake Hyun Jinyoung's 'You In Vague Memory', NCT DREAM will remake EXO's 'Love Me Right', WayV will remake SHINee's 'Juliette', Aespa will remake f(x)'s 'Rum Pum Pum Pum', RIIZE will remake TVXQ's 'Hug', NCT WISH will remake Super Junior's 'Miracle', and Naevis will remake BoA's 'Game'. Fans are expected to be able to enjoy SM's accumulated music heritage in a new way.

In addition, SM Ent.'s sub-labels, dance music label ScreaM Records and the classic & jazz label SM Classics, also participated in this album by reworking SHINee's 'View' and BoA's 'My Name.' This high-quality album is expected to allows fans to enjoy SM Ent.'s wide musical spectrum at once.

Even the sub-label classic dance music AI is included, but only SHINee is missing. This leads some people to speculate if this is because SHINee didn't participate in SMTOWN Concert. However, SNSD didn't attend and yet they're still included in the album.

I won't write the reason because I think everyone already knows.

theqoo

-Big Planet Made and SM really don't seem to get along.

-Actions speak louder than words. Him choosing that agency already says it all.

-How did SHINee end up like this...

-How did SHINee get to this point... I started as a solo fan and became a group fan, and I never thought this would happen.

-Just let the other three do it without Taemin.

-Out of all groups, I really thought SHINee would last the longest...

-If they do it without Taemin, Taemin's fans will probably attack the other threeㅋㅋ It's horrifying.

-I've been a fan since their debut, and this is truly disheartening and sad.

-I want to see SHINee for a long time. I hope things will get resolved well.

-Sigh. This is so annoying... and also sad. I never thought it would turn out like this.

-Just leave out the ones who don't want to do it.

-Taemin-ah... I'm really disappointed in you.

-In the end, Taemin is the problem.

-No matter how much I think about it, I can't understand why he chose that agency.

-Just include Key and Minho then.

theqoo 

-She's so f*cking pretty... I hope Single's Inferno can become a turning point for her career.

-She still looks as gorgeous as everㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah... I really liked her. She was my pick during the 'Rumor' performance.

-Oh... She looks a bit different from back then, but her confidence now makes her even more attractive.

-Whoa... She looks matured now. She really nailed the 'Rumor' stage back in Produce 48....

-Whoa... She's gotten even prettier now.

-I know who she is, I remember her. But why did I think she was in a girl group all this time?? I didn't know she was actually a model.

-What is Sian up to these days?

-Hul... That Lee Sian who sings the intro in 'Rumor' stage?

-Unnie, do you date women?

-She would have been in big trouble if she had become an idolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The thing that apparently becomes a trend at plastic surgery clinics these days


Ear filler

theqoo

-Huh? Is it really trending? This is the first time I've heard of it.

-You're telling me that monkey ears look pretty now???

-What is this? Does it make your face look smaller?

-I've seen a lot of stickers that lift your ears.

-Huh?? Why though?

-I actually understand why people do thisㅋㅋ From the front, my ears look almost nonexistent and it stresses the hell out of me. But still, I don't want surgery to fix it... I'm scared.

-This is freaking hilarious. Why are the facial features in the before and after photos placed so differently?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I remember reading that ears were the hardest body part to surgically alter, and that's why you always have to show your ears in your passport photos. Do people really have to do that?

-In which country exactly is this trend happening?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You'll only regret it later.

-They say it makes your face look smaller.

-They're just trying to get more people to have plastic surgery... It's truly disgusting.

-I kinda want to do it. My ears are so flat that even I wear earrings, you can't see themㅠㅠ

-What the f*ck?? I've been bullied since I was young because of my f*cking ear shape and now this becomes a trend?

-That’s weird. I remember hearing that ears not being visible from the front was considered good luck. Has that changed?

Taemin reveals his reason for not attending SMTOWN Cocnert ... "Sorry for not being able to show SHINee's performance as a full group ... Discussions between companies ongoing"


SHINee's Taemin, who recently left SM Entertainment and joined Big Planet Made Entertainment, shared the reason behind his absence from SM Entertainment's 30th-anniversary concert.

On the 13th, Taemin shared on the fan communication platform Bubble, "I wanted to carefully share this in case there are fans who are worried about SHINee. I'm sorry I couldn't show up as a part of SHINee at SMTOWN Concert. I wanted to wrap up the discussions with the company quickly so I could show you SHINee again, but it's taking some time."

He continued, "The discussions are going just fine and everything will be settled soon. I, along with the other members, want to protect SHINee and we still want to write more stories together. I hope those who are worried about whether I don't want to continue to be with SHINee again or if they can see SHINee in the future will stop worrying. Okay?"

Taemin then explained his absence from SMTOWN Concert, saying, "I hope that my words don't hurt anyone. Once again, all the members love SHINee and have the same feelings. We are currently carefully preparing and getting ready to start SHINee well, let's meet soon with a smile!'"

Previously on January 11th and 12th, 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025 [THE CULTURE, THE FUTURE]' was held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. This concert was held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of SM Entertainment, and various artists performed. Among them, only Key and Minho from SHINee appeared on stage. Meanwhile, Onew participated in other SM's 30th-anniversary related content.

Although the specific reason for the absence of the members who transferred to a different agency is not known, various speculations have arisen. In response to these speculations, Taemin explained that he was unable to attend the SM 30th anniversary concert due to issues related to the company.

Taemin signed an exclusive contract with Big Planet Made Entertainment in April last year after leaving SM Ent.

theqoo

-How long has it been since he changed agencies? And yet this still hasn't been resolved yet? This makes me wonder if he genuinely had the will for this. He's been really active with his solo activities.

-Would an artist of Taemin's level really let his agency to control him like that? He’s a great artist, but his recent actions after changing agencies feel a bit disappointing.

-People would've thought they hadn’t done group activities in five years. When actually it hasn’t even been a year since their last full-group concert.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Was SHINee’s fandom always like this? I saw some other posts and they all seem to be blaming Onew no matter what the issue is. But this time, it's clearly because Taemin's agency is being greedy.

-SMTOWN is already over... So what’s the point of saying this now?

-This is exactly why I left the fandom.

-Taemin-ah, get it together and protect SHINee.

-Shouldn’t these things have been settled as he changed agencies? It’s been quite a while, and it’s still not resolved.

-I’m not a SHINee fan, so I don’t get it. Why do people hate Onew so much? Is it because of his controversies? Honestly, stop cornering someone like this.

-I’m curious why he went to that agency... Was he close to Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin?

-I liked Taemin, but his actions after changing agencies are so disappointing.

-People thought Onew was the uncooperative one and criticized him endlessly... Turns out that wasn’t true. He’s been unfairly blamed, it’s so sad.

-I’m just going to trust the members. I'm sure they'll figure out the issues between companies and sort things out.

-I’m also a fan, but seriously, fans are so dumb for blowing things out of proportion. Just stay quiet instead of blaming people and creating chaos.
