On December 6, SHINee’s Minho made his official solo debut with the digital release of his mini-album ‘Chase’ and its lead single of the same name. The six-track record is now available on streaming platforms.

“When I open my eyes, I dream again / Like there’s no end / I keep running, running / Running, running, run,” he sings on the chorus of the new R&B-inspired single. The physical album and music video for ‘Chase’ will be made available on December 12.

‘Chase’ also includes the song ‘Heartbreak’, which Minho previously released via SM Entertainment‘s SM Station project earlier this year. Notably, the B-sides ‘Runaway’ and ‘Waterfall’ include features by rapper GEMINI and singer Lim Kim respectively. Other songs on the record are ‘Prove It’ and ‘Choice’.

The new record marks Minho’s official debut as a soloist, nearly 15 years after his debut in SHINee. However, the singer had previously also released the song ‘I’m Home’ for SM Entertainment’s SM Station project, as well as two Japanese-language tracks ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘Falling Free’ earlier this year.

Minho will also be holding his ‘2022 Best Choi’s Minho – Lucky Choi’s’ fan meeting in Seoul prior to the release of ‘Chase’ on December 7 and 8 at Kyunghee University. The second day of the event will be streamed in real-time on video platform Beyond LIVE. Tickets can be found here at $35USD.

With the release of ‘Chase’, Minho is now the fifth and final member of SHINee to make his debut as a soloist. Taemin had been the first member of the boyband to release his solo record ‘Ace’ in 2014. The late Jonghyun later release ‘Base’ the following year, while Onew and Key both released their debut solo projects in 2018.
