On May 22nd, 2008, their music video for their debut single, Nunan Numoo Yeppeo (Replay), or Nuna You’re So Pretty (NYSP) was released, and their first stage performance was on Mnet’s M!Countdown, also on May 22nd. On May 23rd, their first mini album, Replay, was released and debuted at #10 on the charts and peaked at #8. On May 25th, 2008, their official debut performance was performed on SBS’ InkiGayo.
SHINee was literally the best newcomer in 2008. It has also even been said that they are the most successful group ever to debut, as most other recent A-list bands were not very well known at their debut, for example, Big Bang and most of the time, many new groups to debut have never been heard about again.
