MINHO’s next solo chapter has a precise starting point: September 7 at 6 p.m. KST.

Make It Hot is billed as the SHINee member’s second mini album, and the confirmed package is compact—six songs, including its title track. That makes this a comeback to watch for focus rather than sheer scale.

One Hour Before the Album

MINHO will host a countdown live at 5 p.m. KST on release day through SHINee’s YouTube, Weverse and TikTok channels. The timing places the broadcast directly before the album’s 6 p.m. release.

For overseas fans, the useful conversion is straightforward: the music arrives at the same global moment, although the calendar date can differ by region.

Where This Fits in MINHO’s Solo Run

The EP follows his December 2025 single “Tempo.” It is also his first solo mini album since Chase in 2022; his 2024 release Call Back was a full album.

Keep the Teasers in Their Lane

The release date, countdown live and six-song count are confirmed. A complete tracklist, credits and reliable description of the album’s sound require official material or the release itself.

The important point is already clear: MINHO is returning with a defined second-EP era, not a one-off digital single.
