Rapper repeats awkward performance from his early days on talk show as the group publicises first new album release since band member Jonghyun’s death

K-pop boy band SHINee has hit the talk-show circuit in South Korea, appearing on MBC’s Radio Star on Wednesday in its comeback following the death of group member Jonghyun in December.

Minho, who does the rap part in the band, helped add some fun to the comeback.

As the popular programme's four hosts introduced the band’s members, they mimicked Minho’s rap performance from his early days, which he sees as too embarrassing to show.

In Minho's so-called forbidden video, the rapper does the introduction for the then new boy band during its performance of The SHINee World (Doo Bop).

The young and inexperienced Minho tries to make himself and other band members look hip, but instead made viewers cringe.

The programme’s hosts dared Minho to repeat the performance, knowing he rarely lets a challenge go by.

The singer obliged, re-enacting the rap with his awkward, unnatural hand gestures, making the hosts burst into laughter.
