It’s official: SHINee’s MINHO has been added to the already star-studded line-up for SMTOWN LIVE 2025 [THE CULTURE, THE FUTURE] in London – marking his first UK performance in 14 years. The news arrives just weeks before SM Entertainment’s first-ever SMTOWN LIVE show in the UK, taking place at The O2 in London on 28 June.

MINHO’s return is both a major fan moment and a symbolic full circle. He last appeared on UK soil in 2011, when SHINee became the first Asian act to perform at the iconic Abbey Road Studios. Since then, MINHO has carved out a powerhouse solo career spanning music, film, television and theatre – with his debut full-length album Call Back charting in 14 countries and headlining his first solo concert late last year.

His addition completes a heavyweight roster of 15+ artists, blending SM legends with next-gen K-pop. The full line-up includes: TVXQ!, HYOYEON of Girls’ Generation, SUHO, CHANYEOL, and KAI of EXO, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, aespa, RIIZE, NCT WISH, naevis, dearALICE, Hearts2Hearts, and rising trainees billed as “SMTR25.”

The concert is part of SM Entertainment’s 30th anniversary celebration and its return to Europe after more than a decade – making this Europe-exclusive event a once-in-a-generation moment for K-pop fans on the continent.

With history behind it and a global legacy in motion, SMTOWN London 2025 is set to become a milestone moment in K-pop's global growth. Don’t miss your chance to witness K-pop history in the making when extremely limited seats go for general on-sale on Monday 9 June, 10AM BST.
