SHINee Honors Late Member Jonghyun on Their 17th Anniversary
SHINee is preparing for an emotional and powerful return to the music scene with a brand-new single titled Poet | Artist, set to drop on May 25, 2025. The release isn’t just another comeback—it’s deeply personal. It lands on the group’s 17th debut anniversary and carries the name of late member Jonghyun’s posthumous album, making it a meaningful tribute that has already stirred deep feelings among fans.
This will be SHINee’s first official group comeback since members Taemin and Onew left SM Entertainment, and it’s clear the group is determined to honor their roots while moving forward together. The new album includes a touching detail: plush dolls representing each of the five members—including Jonghyun. These soft, symbolic items come with photocards and have already sparked emotional reactions across the fanbase. In the trailer called Fluffy SHINee, fans saw a powerful moment where the four current members hold Jonghyun’s plush doll in a group embrace.
The group’s fans, known as SHAWOLs, have taken over social media with messages celebrating this comeback. Many are expressing love for Jonghyun and appreciation for SHINee’s decision to center him in such a personal way. Back in 2018, Jonghyun’s solo album Poet | Artist showcased his signature style and emotional depth. It included 11 tracks that moved between electropop, R&B, synth-pop, and ballads. He wrote and composed most of the songs himself. The album even earned a spot on the US Billboard 200 chart.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
