Heart Aches When You Fall In Love With a Beauty). "A.Mi.Go" is a shortened version of the Korean phrase "Areumdaun Minyeorueljoahamyeon Gosaenghanda" (아름다운 미녀를 좋아하면 고생한다 lit. Han (Love Should Go On)" (사.계.한) and the promotional single "A.Mi.Go (Amigo)" (아.미.고). Included on album were three new songs: "Forever or Never", a remix of "Sa. On the same day, they released The Shinee World as a repackaged album under the name Amigo. Shinee attended the 2008 Style Icon Awards on October 30, 2008, where they won the "Best Style Icon Award".

It’s worthwhile to note that SHINee started off from the bottom (remember, this was a time where technology was not as easily accessible as it is today), handing out lollipops on the street to promote themselves.Shinee performed at SM Town Live in Bangkok At this point in time, I was completely unaware of K-pop’s existence. Still considered one of the best debut tracks in the industry, IMO. I was growing to know SHINee as I was growing to know myself. These early years (almost) mirrored my high school freshman year - a new chapter in my story of navigating and creating my own identity. I was NOT expecting to become a loyal Shawol. I remember myself thinking that their song, concept and outfits were weird, but also entertaining the thought that I would probably eventually stan them because I stan their senior labelmates BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, and Girls’ Generation. I first discovered them when I watched the 2010 Dream Concert, where they performed their new hit ‘ Ring Ding Dong’. At the time, the members included Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin.

I hate to admit that I fell out of the fandom ever so slightly during their later (most recent) years, but with the group’s full return on the horizon, I think it’s about time I go back to this home/personal sanctuary I have created for myself for the past 10 years. SHINee was not my first boy group stan, but it has been one of the most impactful not only for the emotional rollercoaster ride we were all a part of, but also the beautiful little nuggets of wisdom and encouragement that got me through challenging times throughout high school. Times of grief and loss, powerful friendship, new beginnings, and nostalgic returns within this fandom mirror (to some extent) the chapters in my own life. It also serves as a reminder of my decade-long citizenship in the SHINee World (Shawol) - their fandom - and the growth of my identity throughout these transformative years. This date marks the 12th anniversary of popular K-pop boy group, SHINee.
