Ever since SHINee TaeMin's military discharge, SHAWOL everywhere have been waiting for a full group comeback. And as if SHINee heard their pleas, the legendary idol group made their long awaited return on June 26th at 6PM KST.
Their 8th full album "HARD" holds many special meanings. For starters, it's an album to celebrate the idol group's 15 years together, a feat not many are able to reach. The album also marks a new beginning in SHINee's music career.
While the entire album deserves a listen, and more, the music video lives up to its name and goes especially hard on all fronts. While there's a lot to enjoy, here's some things we loved about SHINee's 'HARD' MV.
1. Seeing The Members Gathered Together
There has already been a countless number of content pieces featuring all the SHINee members together in one place. However, with a full group comeback, this scene feels particularly special. It also speaks to the longevity of the group and their desire to remain together even after all these years. They might have just reached their 15th debut anniversary, but seeing them together provides SHAWOL with the hope that they will be together for many more.
