SHINee to make Japanese debut in March



Today South Korean boy band ?SHINee? held their first concert in Japan at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo and have announced that they are going to make their official Japanese debut under ?EMI Music Japan? in March 2011.

In 2008 they were awarded Rookie of the Year in South Korea. Since then their popularity has kept on growing and now they are going to follow their fellow idol groups to Japan to expand their fandom even further.

Even before their debut they are already a big number in Japan. Within one month more than 100,000 people applied for a ticket for their performance today. In the end, 24,000 lucky people were able to see the five members of SHINee today. They performed two shows, which adds up to about 5 hours and 60 songs. There is no doubt that this must have pleased their Japanese fans.

Member Jonghyun still wasn?t able to fully perform with the others due to an injury on his left foot. ?I?m sad that I can?t perform as much as I want, but at least I?m able to stay on stage with the others,? he said in tears.
