{The Innocence of a Boy>, he will also have his first solo concert.

I'm reporter Lee Kyung-guk.

When I was in school, I loved working out with my friends.

The opportunity to become an 'idol singer' that I didn't expect came suddenly.

[MINHO / Singer: I went on a family trip and came to the ski resort for a workshop] "Come and take an audition.". I got accepted, but my parents were against it. I come to the front of the school every day to convince him....]

That's how the trainee period began.

Despite endless practice and hard times, Minho says he ran harder than ever to achieve his dream of 'debut'.

[Minho / Singer: The huge dream, pressure, and goal of making a debut, so it wasn't hard at all at the time. She was very pure and full of passion than ever.]

Minho debuted as SHINee after 2 years of practice.

SHINee swept the rookie award in their debut year with a syndrome,
Even after
, his high musicality and solid stage skills were well received, earning him the nickname 'Criticism Idol'.Busy activities that have continued nonstop to match the modifier

'fire charisma'.

However, my concerns as an artist have grown as much as my growing popularity.

[Minho / Singer: I'm starting to get embarrassed. I debuted as an idol group and sang and danced, but when I was on stage alone, I felt like I didn't trust myself and didn't know.]

Practice is the only way to overcome the slump.

He tried to find his own identity and eventually succeeded in transforming himself from a main rapper to a vocalist.

Minho says that he was able to endure this process because of his family-like members.

[MINHO / Singer: I was able to take a step forward because the members made up for my shortcomings]. I want to bite, bite, and hug, and I think they're really like family.]

It's already been 17 years since our promotion.

The reason why I was able to run without stopping was largely due to the "power of positivity" handed down by my parents.

[Minho / Singer: My mother gives me a positive influence] "Always be kind to everyone," "You should yield more." (My father) I think he shows things by action rather than by words.]

Thorough self-management through exercise is another driving force.A recent interview saying, 'It's unimaginable to find an excuse not to go to the

' became a hot topic.

[Hyoyeon / Singer (YouTube's "Hyoyeon's Level Up")] I'm thinking about how not to go.]

[MINHO / Singer (YouTube's "Hyoyeon's Level Up")] What? "What should I do not go?" You're thinking about it?]

[Hyoyeon / Singer (YouTube "Hyoyeon's Level Up")]

[Minho / Singer: I'm going for my muscles, I'm going to be healthy, it seems to follow along, but I think there's a lot of mental in the front end. When I overcome it, I was like, "Oh, this is how I do it".]

Minho's unceasing passion led to acting activities.He also expressed his ambition to continue his dream as an actor, from

to appearing in dramas, movies, and plays.

[Minho / Singer: It's true that there's a lot more emotions in it. Oh, I really loved and liked acting. I feel like I can do it for a long time....]

Minho, who lived his life as a multi-tainer, returned to his main job earlier this month with his first solo full album, which filled 10 songs.

The decisive reason for the difficult solo activity was the support of the fans.

[Minho / Singer: I didn't think I would be able to do solo music. "Me too?" I thought like that. When I joined the army, a lot of fans sent me letters. "I want to see your solo album". I think I prepared it because I got greedy from then on.]

Unlike the mini album released last year with favorite R&B songs,

In this album, we are taking on the challenge of expanding the musical spectrum with the mindset of our debut.

[Minho / Singer: I want to show various performances while expanding the world of music] I always remember myself on stage with the bright eyes of a high school student and the expression of not knowing anything. I think I wanted to take out the heart and feelings of that time and capture the innocence of the boy.]

Minho, who released his first full-length album, will be performing at his first solo concert from the 30th.

He plans to pour out everything he has, including performances that have not been shown before.
