Background

edit

On October 26, 2010, SM Entertainment announced that Shinee would commence their first concert tour on December 18 at KBS 88 Gymnasium in Seoul.[5] However, in order to accommodate demand, they changed the venue to the Olympic Gymnastics Arena and rescheduled it to the following year.[6] The tour instead began in Tokyo on December 26, 2010, at Yoyogi National Gymnasium. Originally scheduled for 6PM, an additional performance was added at 1PM due to heavy demand from fans. Over 100,000 people applied for tickets through a lottery system and both concerts sold out. At the concert, they announced that they had signed with EMI Music Japan for Japanese promotions, which were due to begin in March.[7][8] Shinee's rescheduled Seoul concert took place on January 1, 2011. Jonghyun was unable to participate in the dance performances in the Tokyo and Seoul concerts due to an ankle injury he sustained during a promotional tour in Indonesia in October 2010.[9] He was replaced by SM trainee Lay.[10]

On July 16, Shinee held their first concert in Taipei at Taipei Arena. Their labelmate Zhang Liyin appeared as a special guest and sang a duet with Jonghyun. 10,000 tickets were sold within an hour.[11] On August 20, Shinee held a concert in Nanjing, China, at Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, followed by Singapore on September 10. Online ticket reservations for Shinee's Singapore concert began on July 31 and within 45 minutes, all tickets were sold out. The production cost was estimated to be around $1.7 million.[12] Shinee held a concert at Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya on October 27.[13] Live recordings of performances from the concert were released on a DVD, Shinee The 1st Concert In Japan "Shinee World", on January 11, 2012.[2] Shinee concluded their tour in Osaka on November 24 and 25, 2011.[14]
