Taemin of SHINee will hold a solo concert in Incheon, Gyeonggi-do on Dec. 16-17, JYP Entertainment announced Thursday.
It has been over four and a half years since the veteran performer hosted a solo gig offline. The live event, dubbed “Metamorph,” will be the first standalone gig at the Inspire Arena, the country’s first multi-purpose arena that is part of a $5 billion resort built near Incheon Airport.
The youngest member of SHINee is gearing up to make his comeback as a solo artist with his fourth EP, “Guilty,” that is due on Oct. 30.
Meanwhile, a teaser video for “My SHINee world,” the concert film marking the 15th anniversary of the band’s debut, was unveiled Tuesday. The movie will premiere on Nov. 3.

Girl group aespa will mark its third debut anniversary with a fan meeting in Seoul on Nov. 17, said label SM Entertainment on Thursday.

The mini album comes about six months after the group's previous EP, “My World,” that shattered the first-day and first-week sales record for a K-pop girl group, selling 1.37 million and 1.64 million copies, respectively.
