"The Shinee World" (stylized as The SHINee WORLD) is the first Korean language studio album recorded by South Korean boy band, Shinee. It was released on August 29, 2008 under S.M. Entertainment.[1] The album includes the lead single "Love Like Oxygen", the promotional single of the same name "The Shinee World (Doo-Bop)", and their previous single "Replay", which was the lead and debut single from their mini-album, Replay.[1] On October 31, 2008 the album was re-released under the title Amigo with three additional tracks; "Forever or Never", a remix of "Sa.Gye.Han (Love Should Go On) (사.계.한)" and the second (lead) single for the album "A.Mi.Go (Amigo)" (아.미.고).[2] Apart from meaning "friend" in Spanish language, "A.Mi.Go" is a shortened version of the Korean phrase "아름다운 미녀를 좋아하면 고생한다" which means "If you love a Beauty, you will suffer".[3] "Amigo" was also choreographed by Misha Gabriel, an American dancer, choreographer, and actor.[4] The group won with "Sanso Gateun Neo (Love Like Oxygen)" first place on M! Countdown on September 18, 2008 making it the group's first win on Korean music shows since debut.[5]

The album was commercially successful in South Korea — it debuted at the #3 spot on the South Korean charts, selling 30,000 copies.[6][7] The lead single "Love like Oxygen" topped several Korean online music charts and received positive reviews.[8] Since its release The Shinee World has sold over 80,000 copies.[9] The album was awarded with "Newcomer Album of the Year" at the 23rd Golden Disk Awards in 2008.[10]

Concept and Composition

For their first studio album Shinee show a more mature and masculine image compared to their debut concept, while the group maintained their characteristic style featuring high-top sneakers and skinny jeans, the group wears darker colors for the album promotional cycle unlike the colorful fashion the group portrayed for their debut track "Replay".[11] Many top producers and songwriters like Yoo Youngjin, Kenzie and Wheesung participated in the production of the album. It includes 12 songs with different genres such as R&B, urban and pop. The lead single "Love like Oxygen" is a remake of Danish X Factor winner Martin Hoberg Hedegaard, under title "Show the World". It combines the disco-based funky rhythm that reminds of Michael Jackson and the drum pattern that commonly appears in American R&B music. The lyric were created by Young-hu Kim, the lyricist of "Replay" — it compares the change of love to the ice, water, and oxygen to sensuously express the pain of letting go the beloved one.[1] Yoo Youngjins song "The SHINee World" is characterized by a powerful beat and melody. Jonghyuns first solo "Hyeya (Y Si Fuera Ella)" is a cover of "Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?", originally sung by the Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz in 1997.[12] "One for Me" is an urban R&B style song, which is written by Wheesung.[13]
