SHINee World IV Concert Schedule Suggests Group's 2015 Comeback Is Expected In May

While SM Entertainment fans may be smitten with EXO's comeback, it is starting to look like that another one of their extremely popular groups may be coming back shortly after.

Shawols may indeed be in for an early treat.
After announcing that they were planning for a 2015 Korean comeback, SHINee has also scheduled another "SHINee World" concert at the Olympic Park Stadium. The concert series will be two days in Seoul set for May 16 and 17. Given that a concert is usually a launch pad for an album release, does this mean that SHINee will make their 2015 comeback in May?
At a press conference marking the end of their Tokyo Dome concert series, SHINee's Minho explained their plans for a 2015 Korean comeback.
"We are in the midst of preparations. As it has been a while since our last Korean album, and we are also excited. We don't want to disappoint our fans, so we are preparing hard for the album. We'll return by the end of the year," explained Minho.
Admittedly, May would be an extremely quick turnaround for an album release given that since their last album, both Taemin and Jonghyun had spent a lot of their time doing solo promotions with little room for group activities. Unless of course they have been preparing a new album since Jonghyun ended his solo activities.
SHINee is notoriously hardworking, so it is certainly a possibility that they could make a 2015 comeback as early as May. However, in order to give the boys a relaxed return, perhaps some Shawols would be willing to wait until later in 2015 to see their favorite idols return.
For those who are not familiar with SHINee, the five member idol group is comprised of Lee Jinki, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Kibum, Choi Minho, and Lee Taemin. The group recently celebrated their six year anniversary since their debut in 2008.
