A press conference was held at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul Grand Ballroom in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 4th to commemorate the release of Minho's first solo full-length album 'CALL BACK'.
Minho "I'm back after a year and 11 months, about two years. When I was preparing, I just ran recklessly, but now that I am here and the public time is approaching, I am nervous and excited. A good tremor is approaching."

'Call Back' is more than two years after Minho's solo debut album 'CHASE' was released in December 2022.
Minho insisted on songs I could do well and liked in the mini-album, but this time, even though he was stubborn, he gave up Choi's stubbornness and reflected the opinions of the staff who had been with him for a long time. I thought they would know me better than me. The part that I couldn't give up is track 8, 9, 10 with my favorite style" "I'm grateful that I can release a full-length album. I would like to thank SHINee World (SHINee's official fan club) for supporting me and the staff of the company (SM Entertainment, hereinafter SM) for trusting and supporting me. I want to have fun while promoting."
Especially about SHINee members, "As we became so close and became like a family, there was no reaction no matter what came out." I think it's a time when we're so close to each other that it's embarrassing to express it. But there's no response yet…. You guys should get in touch with me."

Minho said, `There was no title song like this in SM.I was worried because it was a new attempt, but I ran hard after thinking that I could do it well"I actually wanted another song to be the title song. SHINee's regular album has always been powerful and powerful. I wanted to show that kind of music and performance again this time. I thought SM did the best. However, rather than the obvious cliché, the company wanted to challenge a new genre and build my own color, and I agreed. As a result, I really liked the result. "This album contains my aspirations from now on."
Also "We Damboyz Bata made the choreography." The point is the cool choreography that makes good use of my strengths. I put in my energy well. I wanted to melt a refreshing and cool feeling in the music video. I wanted to capture a young boy who is old and a little old, but still alive in me", he introduced.

Min-ho said "So-hee, who loved and cared for me, helped me to burst my embers. As soon as I heard 'Fireworks', I asked because I thought it would go well with Sohee's refreshing vocals, but thank you for gladly featuring me. My vocal harmony was good, so I highlighted the point well. Ning Ning also readily allowed me to do so, but my vocal balance was so good. I look forward to performing with my two juniors" expressed affection.
Minho is also well aware of his passionate image and his image of doing his best. It's true that I haven't been able to show much of myself as a solo artist. I want to show you that you are an artist who can pull off other genres. I want to show various stages while expanding the music world. I am grateful that the time has come to worry about this when my experience has accumulated, and I have confidence that I will be able to show a great stage based on this."
As for his trademark 「Fire Charisma」, "He was born that way. It's a real fight. It's entirely the influence of my parents. My parents still give me good energy. That's my driving force. I want to give a positive impression to many people," he added.

Minho will release 'Call Back' at 6 p.m. that day. After that, the first solo concert 'Min: Of My First' will be held at Hwajeong Gymnasium in Korea University in Seoul for two days on the 30th and December 1st.
Minho added "It's more burdensome because it's the last solo regular among SHINee members. I was worried, but I was grateful that I could worry" he said.
