After the 'God's Life' special episode 'God's Tteokbokki House' broadcast, we had time to look back on the memories and fame of SHINee members. Actually, I thought I knew SHINee because of 'Key', but I know more songs than I thought.

As they have many hit songs, I wonder what kind of performance they will give to amaze the audience rather than what songs they will sing at the 'Play What You Want Festival'. While watching the broadcast, I felt that their passion on stage is great compared to any other group. I think that will be the issue if they show the 'Play What You Want Festival' performance later. Congratulations on the comeback of 'Passionate Idol' SHINee and their participation in the Play What You Want Festival, and I look forward to it.
