Humbled by fans' overwhelming support, SHINee has decided to extend their upcoming solo concert in Seoul called "SHINee World V." The band announced they are adding one more show to their fifth solo concert scheduled in September amid positive reactions from their fanbase Shawols.

Korea Joongang Daily reported SHINee will stage a total of three shows from Sept. 2-4 at Seoul Olympic Gymnasium as a way to thank the fans for their never-ending support. "[Shinee] decided to stage additional performance because of fans' explosive response [towards the group's concerts]," SM Entertainment revealed.

According to reports, tickets for the Sept. 2 show will be made available for reservation online starting Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. SHINee announced about their fifth solo concert in June, a year after the success of their three-day "SHINee World IV" concert in Seoul.

Aside from the band's popularity in South Korea, SHINee is also well-loved by their Japanese fans. From January to May this year, the Kpop band has been performing for their fans in Japan for "SHINee World 2016 DxDxD." According to Yonhap, about 1 million fans watched SHINee performed 20 shows in local stadiums and domes.

Meanwhile, SHINee will host an exhibition prior to their fifth solo concert in September. "SHINee World" will feature photos of the band's shows for the past eight years. The exhibition will run from Aug. 21-31 at SM Town COEX Artium in Seoul.

The Kpop band debuted in May 2008 with their single called "Replay" under SM Entertainment. SHINee made their Japanese debut in 2011 and sold over 100,000 copies of the Japanese version of "Replay."

The five-member boy band has already released five Korean studio albums and four Japanese studio albums with "DxDxD" as the latest for the latter.
