SEOUL, May 11 (AJP) - SHINee, one of K-pop's most influential bands known for its experimental music and trend-setting performances, will return on June 1 with its sixth mini album “Atmos,” SM Entertainment said Monday.

Debuting in 2008 under SM Entertainment as a five-member group, SHINee built a strong global fanbase with hits such as “Replay,” “Ring Ding Dong” and “Sherlock,” while earning recognition for pushing the boundaries of K-pop performance, fashion and contemporary pop sound.

The group's six-track EP, including the title song "Atmos," will be released at 6 p.m. (0900 GMT) through major music streaming platforms on June 1. The album marks the band’s first major release in a year following the 2025 single "Poet | Artist."
