Idol group SHINee unveiled a full-group teaser.

On the 26th, SHINee opened a new comeback teaser image through its official SNS, capturing the members gathered amidst pouring rain.

SHINee will release its sixth mini-album 'Atmos' on June 1 at 6 p.m. through major online music platforms. The album features a total of six songs, showcasing the group's signature sophisticated and stylish charm: the title track 'Atmos' of the same name, and the tracks 'HOURS', 'Possibility', 'Anti Believer', 'Still Raining', and 'Thousand Miles Away'.

'HOURS' is a punk pop song infused with a sophisticated disco style. Its groovy bass line and half-time rhythm deliver a fresh feel, while the lyrics are impressive for capturing the emotion of love that wishes to gather not only past memories and romance with a partner but also all the time yet to come.

'Still Raining' is an R&B pop song with a languid yet dreamy atmosphere, created by the harmony of various pluck synths and leisurely tempo rhythm instruments. The lyrics contain the fluttering emotion that started unexpectedly like a summer rainstorm and the memories that briefly passed by but remain in the heart for a long time.

Notably, 'hitmaker' KENZIE and Andrew Choi, who have worked with SHINee for a long time, participated in the writing and composition of the title track 'Atmos', respectively.

SHINee utilized the fandom's 'meme' that it rains whenever the members gather, presenting new album teaser content with rain and weather as the concept.

The reason SHINee's comeback is attracting even greater attention is Key's swift return amid the 'Jusaimo' controversy involving Park Na-rae. Last December, Key stated, "I visited a hospital located in Gangnam-gu where Mr. Lee works, recommended by an acquaintance, and first met him as a doctor. Key continued to receive treatment at the same hospital afterward and, in recent times when hospital visits were difficult, received treatment at home on several occasions. This was because I did not think receiving treatment at home would be a problem, as I believed Mr. Lee was a doctor and he made no special remarks."

Subsequently, Key's side apologized, stating, "We first learned that Mr. Lee is not a doctor due to the recent controversy over his medical license, and we are very confused and deeply regret our ignorance. Therefore, recognizing the seriousness of this matter, Key has decided to withdraw from all scheduled events and currently appearing programs."
