It’s been a while, but on Sunday, K-pop band Shinee held their first concert since 2018.
During the event, the group previewed their upcoming new single Atlantis, set to drop on April 12 as part of a reissued, extended version of “Don’t Call Me”.
The Beyond Live show was Shinee’s first concert in three years, coming after three of the band members finished their national service.
According to Shinee’s label SM Entertainment, 130,000 people from 120 countries tuned in to watch the highly-anticipated show live.
More are expected to watch the event over delayed streams, set up for those who want to relive the experience or couldn’t watch it live.
The delayed streams were previously planned to air on April 6 and April 11, but it was announced after the concert that they will now air on V Live on April 13 and April 18.
