Second mini-album released on September 7
Minho’s second solo mini-album, ‘Make it hot,’ was released at 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time on September 7, 2026. The album contains six tracks in total, including the title track of the same name, ‘Make it hot.’ The tracks listed on the official tracklist are ‘Make it hot,’ ‘Liquid (Feat. Belle of KISS OF LIFE),’ ‘Love Me Now,’ ‘Time 1.1,’ ‘Out Of My Hands,’ and ‘Ending Scene.’
The title track ‘Make it hot’ has been described as a pop dance song combining EDM sounds, exotic percussion rhythms, a heavy bassline, and a chorus. Belle of KISS OF LIFE features on the track ‘Liquid.’ When reviewing the album, listeners can therefore distinguish the genre characteristics of the title track from ‘Liquid,’ which includes Belle’s featured performance.
Official schedules around the release and current status
An official SHINee Weverse announcement gave notice of the ‘Make it hot’ countdown live at 5 p.m. KST on September 7, the day of the release. Since the album was released at 6 p.m., the announced live event took place immediately before the music and album became available.
The next official schedule confirmed after the release is KBS’s ‘Music Bank’ on September 11. According to the official SHINee announcement, Minho is scheduled to participate in both the pre-recording and the live broadcast that day. However, the announcement also stated that the number of participants in the live broadcast may change depending on on-site circumstances, so the live-broadcast participation lineup should not be treated as fixed.
Spotify Canvas sharing campaign entry period
The entry period for the Spotify Canvas sharing campaign was announced as running from noon on September 8, 2026, through 11:59 p.m. on September 16. It begins at noon the day after the album’s release and ends on the night of September 16.
This schedule is a separate campaign period from the album’s release time and the music-show participation schedule. The currently confirmed follow-up schedule includes Minho’s participation in the ‘Music Bank’ pre-recording and live broadcast on September 11; the number of live-broadcast participants may change depending on on-site circumstances.
