SHINee to return to music stage on July 23

Korean boy band SHINee will be returning to the music stage next Friday, according to their agency SM Entertainment on Thursday.

SM announced in a press release that after their second full-length album goes on sale on July 19, the boys will give their comeback performance on KBS' televised music show "Music Bank" four days later.

The group was originally set to take the stage this Friday but postponed their comeback performance due to SHINee member Minho recovering from a ruptured calf muscle on his right leg which he injured during a shoot for an entertainment show.

It is not certain whether he will fully recover by July 23 but he will participate in the choreography depending on his progress, SM added.

Meanwhile, SM also said a medley highlighting the nine tracks from the second studio album will be released on the group's official website (http://shinee.smtown.com) later today.

The agency has been unveiling a series of teaser photos of the members in accordance with the band's fashion concept for the new album since last Thursday to promote the upcoming record.

SHINee, composed of other members Onew, Jonghyun, Key and Taemin, made their debut in 2008 with their first mini-album "Replay." They have several music hits under their belt including "Older Girl, You're So Pretty," "Juliette" and "Ring Ding Dong."
