Shinee concert chronology

Shinee World 2012 (promoted as THE FIRST JAPAN ARENA TOUR "SHINee WORLD 2012") was the first Japan nationwide concert tour by South Korean boy group Shinee to support their first Japanese studio album, The First. The tour kicked off in Fukuoka on April 25, 2012, and ended in Hiroshima on July 1, 2012, with a total of 20 concerts in seven cities. It attracted 200,000 concert-goers, setting a new attendance record for the first Japan tour of a Korean artist.

History

[edit]

On December 24, 2011, Shinee held a live showcase at the Tokyo International Forum to commemorate the release of their debut Japanese album, The First. At the event, they announced that they would embark on their first Japan nationwide concert tour, titled The First Japan Arena Tour "Shinee World 2012".[1] The tour started on April 25, 2012, with a total of seven stops in Fukuoka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Tokyo and Hiroshima.[2]

Due to the demand for tickets, it was announced on February 13, 2012, that six additional dates had been added to the line-up. This included one concert in Nagoya, three concerts in Osaka, and two concerts in Tokyo, for a total of 20 concerts.[3] However, as even these dates sold out, additional seats with a restricted view of the stage were added. These also sold out as soon as the tickets went on sale.[2]

The tour attracted 200,000 people during its run. This marked the first time a Korean artist's first Japan arena concert tour had achieved these attendance figures,[4] bringing in revenue of over 25 billion won (US$22 million).[5] On July 28, 2012, Fuji TV broadcast the concert with live video and original interviews.[6]
