SHINee's KCON 2016 Performance Proves Why They Need a U.S. Tour ASAP
Despite more than eight years as one of the most internationally popular and consistent K-pop boy bands out there, SHINee has yet to tour America. Loads of much smaller acts and even a slew of their labelmates have all made treks in the U.S., and while the group has held successful fan meetings (including a massive one just yesterday in Dallas), KCON 2016 Los Angeles was probably the closest chance fans have gotten to see what the quintet can deliver in a full concert production. But once the too-short-but-super-sweet performance on Saturday finished, it became clear just how successful a full-fledged American tour could prove to be for SHINee.
After performances by the likes of Amber, Dean, Block B, I.O.I, and more, it was finally time for the headliners to take the stage as the band stared down the crowd while their live intro track "SHINee in the House" played. The band moved quickly into the house-inspired single "View," which had the Staples Center arena screaming despite boasting more subtle choreography and a more subdued stage show.
