Boy band SHINee is heading to Shanghai to hold the “SHINee Festival Tour,” a concert that will commemorate the group’s 5-year anniversary.

On top of preparations for the performances, the group is also preparing a special stage for the concert, which will take place on Nov. 30 in Shanghai Gymnasium.

“We are paying a lot of attention to the lighting and musical aspects of the stage,” a representative stated, adding, “We are checking even the smallest detail to make a perfect performance that fans will not be able to forget.”

Since debuting in 2008, the K-pop group has gained popularity all over the world, with strong fan bases in Japan and China.

SHINee recently released its newest EP, “Everybody,” in October and won the Best Dance Performance of the Year at the fifth annual Mnet Asia Music Awards held in Hong Kong.

After performing in Shanghai, the group is set to perform in Beijing on Jan. 18 of next year.
