After completing his mandatory military service in November 2020, MINHO resumed his activities as a soloist and member of SHINee in 2021, releasing his debut solo digital single "Heartbreak" on December 21, the same day as his second fan meeting concert Best Choi's MINHO 2021, which was broadcasted online.
