22 Aug 2012 (Singapore) – With the promise of an action-packed concert with special effects and diverse
music genres and styles superceding its previous concert tour; fans who have been anticipating the SHINee
World II Singapore concert will be able to purchase tickets from 31 Aug 2012 onwards for the strictly onenight only show. A total of 7,500 tickets will be available for sale via Sistic phone, counter and online
bookings at S$238 (Terrace and Mosh Pit tickets) and S$178 (Balcony tickets). With the
biggest mosh pit to be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium with over 1,200 square metres
of free-standing space, the 3,500 Mosh Pit tickets with the closest proximity to the stage are
expected to sell the quickest.
With a performance holding a production price-tag of more than S$1.8 million, SHINee World II will be
accompanied by special effects such as pyrotechnics, water features and aerial stunts in a multi-sensory
performance that borders between an unbelievable eye spectacle and a R&B/Rock concert that defies
extremes.
Shinee, consisting of members Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin, are known for their smooth R&B
tunes, sleek dance moves and iconic fashion style featuring high-top sneakers, skinny jeans and colourful
sweaters dubbed the “Shinee Trend”. Shinee staged their first world tour “SHINee World” in
Singapore on 10 September 2011, which saw tickets selling out in 45 minutes.
With a group that has visibly matured to ‘seniors’ since their debut in 2008, “Shawols” or SHINee fans can
look forward to a diverse range of musical genres in SHINee World II Singapore; with music ranging from
heavy rock music and bold dance moves, to softer cheerier R&B styles reminiscent of their earlier years.
“Seeing how SHINee has grown internationally and how the group has matured with SHINee
World II, we can’t wait to stage this show in December to showcase their updated image to
Singapore. Preparation of the concert is already ongoing, and by looking at the production
and programme of the show, this is a definite must-watch concert of the year”, says Beatrice
Chia-Richmond, Creative Director of Running Into The Sun.
SHINee World II began in Seoul on 21 Jul 2012 to a sold-out 20,000 crowd; and will travel to countries
throughout Asia including Taipei, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Shinee’s latest album “Sherlock” launched in March 2012 and set the record for the most album sales in the
month with more than 135,000 copies sold in March alone, according to Gaon Chart, the national record
chart of South Korea. Shinee also recently started their first Japan concert tour to over 20 cities across Japan, and set the record as the Korean act that attracted the most audiences in Japan with a total of more
than 200,000 people.
Since their debut in 2008, Shinee has released three full-length albums, four mini-albums, one live album
and various singles. They have also won many awards such as “The Most Anticipated Group for 2012” by
MBC Gayo Daejun 2011, “Best New Male Group” in the 2008 Mnet Awards, and various popularity awards.
