SHINee Unveils Poetic Teaser for Upcoming Single ‘Poet | Artist’
Global K-pop powerhouse SHINee has ignited fan excitement worldwide with the release of the first teaser image for their upcoming single, ‘Poet | Artist’. Unveiled via SHINee’s official social media channels at midnight on the 20th, the image features the members emerging from the shadows into a soft, radiant light, capturing a tender and lyrical atmosphere that perfectly mirrors the single’s poetic essence.
The single, dropping on May 25 at midnight KST across various digital music platforms, includes two tracks: the title track ‘Poet | Artist’ and the B-side ‘Starlight’. Fans can also get their hands on the physical album release the following day, on May 26.
‘Poet | Artist’—an electro-pop track—delivers a powerful message encouraging listeners to transcend artistic boundaries. Drawing inspiration from the duality of poets and artists, the song urges creativity and literary expression in both art and everyday life. With its lyrical depth and experimental sound, it is expected to offer a new layer to SHINee’s ever-evolving musical identity.
In conjunction with the release, SHINee will also host their seventh solo concert, ‘SHINee WORLD Ⅶ [E.S.S.A.Y] (Every Stage Shines Around You)’, from May 23 to 25 at the Olympic Park KSPO Dome in Seoul. The highly anticipated event will allow fans to experience SHINee’s newest music and refined stage performance firsthand.
As SHINee marks a new chapter with ‘Poet | Artist’, they seamlessly blend introspection with pop innovation, proving once again why they remain one of K-pop’s most enduring and transformative acts.
