Key Confirms That All Of SHINee’s Members Have Renewed Their Contracts… For The Third Time

“Even if we leave, we’ll leave together.”

There aren’t too many K-Pop groups that get to their 15th year together and still have all of their members, let alone still have all of them under the same label. And yet SHINee has beat the odds, having already renewed their contracts twice with SM Entertainment as a full group.

This year marked the 15th anniversary since SHINee debuted in May 2008, and they’re still going strong in terms of musical releases both as a group and as soloists. Though SM Entertainment is often criticized for how they manage many of their artists, fans are generally happy with the amount of content that SHINee is able to put out as more “senior” artists.
