SHINee KEY's Japanese original single "Tongue Tied" jacket and schedule poster revealed

■“Freaky Fortuneteller” KEY opens a consultation office!?

The jacket artwork and schedule poster for SHINee KEY’s first original Japanese single “Tongue Tied” have been revealed.

KEY has developed a conceptual theme in each of his works. This work expresses KEY’s image as an artist who is “all-rounder” and excels in all genres, with three mysterious and dreamy concepts that add a sense of reality to the conceptual.

The main concept is “Freaky Fortuneteller,” and the first production limited edition (Freaky Ver.) features KEY, who is known for his witty and smart comments, as “MR. FREAK,” a fortune teller who gives amazing advice, creating an image of a counseling center that eases the minds of people who are troubled and at a loss for words.

The first production limited edition (Unrealistic Ver.) is based on the idea that KEY’s persuasive words, woven with his sharp insight, are a result of a divine presence that even seems to control nature, and the visuals are so overwhelming that they transcend reality and leave you at a loss for words.

The regular version (Occult Ver.) makes use of colored lighting to create a paranormal image, expressing a mysterious, supernatural mood with sophisticated visuals.

Additionally, the UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE exclusive version (Tarot Card Ver. Picture Label Edition) comes in a box-shaped package containing 22 tarot cards, each with a different design, creating a unique visual that encapsulates the world of this work.

This is a limited edition item, so to ensure you get one, make sure to pre-order by 12:00 on June 24th.

Additionally, according to the released schedule poster, concept images will be released from June 17th to 19th, and a special website full of KEY’s unique originality called “Tongue Tied” Online Consulting will open on the 21st.

Details were also released for the “KEY “ongue Tied” Release Commemoration Handshake and Talk Event” event, scheduled to be held in Tokyo in July and Osaka in August for purchasers of the new album.

The “talk session” will be in the form of a talk show, and will be themed around the themes of “problems for KEY,” “questions for KEY,” and “requests for KEY to do,” which were collected in advance from the winners of the special event. Applications for the Tokyo venue will be accepted until 23:59 on June 17th.

There is also a lottery for people to participate in the “rehearsal observation” at the Tokyo/Hyogo performances of “2024 KEY LAND ON:AND ON in JAPAN”. The target products, reservation methods, and sales shops differ for each event, so please check the official website for details.
