History

On January 29, 2014, SM Entertainment announced Shinee's "SHINee CONCERT-SHINee WORLD Ⅲ - in Seoul" at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Songpagu, Seoul on March 8 and 9.[4] The tour continued to Mexico, Chile, and Argentina.[5]

Seoul

The boys held the first concert of the tour in Seoul on the 8th and 9th in front of 25,000 fans.[6] The boys said,

“ We named our concert 'popcorn'. Everyone has to pop. We mean that everyone has to stand up and enjoy themselves. We released a lot of albums last year and met with our fans for a while. We felt good because we felt like our spectrum was getting wider. We think that was reflected onto this concert. Even the parts where we were doubtful over, we got confidence that we could do them.[6] ”

The group performed a total of 29 songs, including some of their hits like "Juliette", "Lucifer", "Ring Ding Dong", "Sherlock", and the Korean versions of Japanese singles, such as "3 2 1" and others.[7]

Shinee performed in the Mexico City Arena on April 4 for 8,000 fans, their first concert in Latin America.[8]

The concert also gathered over 100 reporters from different press media.[9] In Argentina the concert also successfully gathered over 8,500 fans and was sold out immediately.[10][11] Like the fans in Santiago, the fans in Buenos Aires also prepared a special event to celebrate Shinee member Jonghyun's birthday.

Another surprise for the group was the special event during Green Rain when the fans held up signs that read, "Argentina loves SHINee!". Shinee members said,
