On February 13 at 6PM KST, the idol unveiled a powerful music video for ‘Killer’, the lead single of his new re-packaged album of the same name.

The new visuals follows Key in the aftermath of a car crash as he continues to feed the flames. In other scenes, the K-pop star performs the song’s choreography from an underground tunnel while clad in a glittery jacket.

“I’m the killer (Killer) / After a cruel breakup / Pull the trigger (Trigger) / I broke your heart / Like a thriller (Thriller),” he sings in the chorus of the new synth-filled single.

‘Killer’ is a re-release of the SHINee singer’s sophomore studio album ‘Gasoline’, which he released in August 2022. The 11-track record was led by its title track of the same name and included the B-side ‘Another Life’, which was named one of the best K-pop songs of 2022 by NME.

In addition to ‘Killer’, the record now includes new B-sides ‘Heartless’ and ‘Easy’, on top of the original songs in ‘Gasoline’.

In December, fellow SHINee member Minho became the final member of the boyband to go solo with his debut mini-album ‘Chase’. In an interview with NME, the idol shared how the members of SHINee inspire each other in their solo work: “There is a mutual desire among our group to constantly be better than ourselves. There is a bit of a healthy competition, of motivating and almost instigating each other to try hard and evolve as artists.”

SHINee’s last release as a full group was their 2021 studio album ‘Don’t Call Me’ and its re-release ‘Atlantis’. The boyband’s youngest member Taemin began his mandatory military service shortly after the release, and is due to be discharged sometime in April this year.
