SHINee Minho's 'Make it hot' Album Sets New Solo First-Week Sales Record

SHINee member Minho's second solo mini-album, 'Make it hot,' is currently generating significant buzz in Korea. The core reason for this excitement is his strategic summer comeback, a departure from his previous winter releases, aiming to showcase a hotter and more passionate side.

Released on September 7, 2026, at 6 PM KST, the album features six tracks, including the title song 'Make it hot.' This EDM-based pop dance track is characterized by exotic percussion rhythms, heavy bass, and a passionate chorus melody. The album also includes the R&B track 'Ending Scene' and the Afro House-inspired 'Love Me Now.' Notably, KISS OF LIFE's Belle is featured on the track 'Liquid.'

Local bloggers highlight how the album's title, 'Make it hot,' perfectly aligns with Minho's well-known "passion Minho" image. They appreciate the album's narrative structure, which explores various stages of love from beginning to end, and note the intriguing collaboration with Belle. Pre-orders for the album began on August 18, 2026.
