2027 SHINee SEASON’S GREETINGS BEHIND

Why Koreans care

The “2027” shoot actually took place during a 37°C summer day in 2026. The members joke that seasonal productions require warm clothes in hot weather—and cool clothes in winter—so the finished material can be released in time.

In the Korean comments

One top comment reads, in translation: “May SHINee stick together like vegetable fritters, mix like bibimbap, fuse like paella, and cling together like granola.” The escalating food comparisons are an affectionate wish to keep seeing the members together as a group.

What the words mean

“알잘딱깔센” (aljalddakkalsen, handle it well, precisely, neatly, and sensibly) compresses the phrase 알아서 잘 딱 깔끔하고 센스 있게 (araseo jal ttak kkalkkeumhago sense itge). Calling the rock-band concept this is casual, playful praise: it was executed exactly as it should have been.
