SHINee’s Minho Releases Merch That Can “Protect Women From Danger”

Following the success of his first solo album CALL BACK, SHINee‘s Minho is preparing for his 2024 MINHO Solo Concert <MEAN : of my first>.

Now, the official merchandise for the event has been released, and it’s so on-brand for Minho! There are two versions of a soccer uniform: Soccer Uniform + Photo Card Set [MINHO Ver] and Soccer Uniform + Photo Card Set [Non-Marking Ver.].

Considering what a fan he is of the sport, it’s perfect. His fans will be a giant soccer team!

the fact that they’re releasing it so early is telling me that Minho really wants everyone to wear the jersey so he can look at the audience and see a whole giant soccer team of his own 😭 https://t.co/2Us5vavj4I

The other items are a Muffler + Photo Card Set and Whistle Key Ring + Photo Card Set. The Whistle Key Ring especially has caught the attention of women fans.

While the whistle could be included to match the sporty theme, as whistles are also used in officiating sports events, women immediately found another use for it. The whistle key ring is a self-defense item used to call for help when one is in danger. As women are increasingly concerned for their safety, this merchandise is greatly useful.

Carrying a whistle around can be a crime prevention measure. It also plays an important role in times of disaster. Minho has announced some great goods!!!!!
I love our hope, Choi Minho, who protects us wherever we are.💎

Whether this was Minho’s attention or not, it wouldn’t surprise fans, as he recently made feminist comments. Read more below.
