All about Taemin

Taemin, whose real name is Lee Tae-min (Korean: 이태민), is a South Korean singer born on July 18, 1993. After several years of training under the SM Entertainment label, he became one of the five SHINee members in 2010.

He started his solo career in 2014 with the track Danger from the mini album ACE while of course continuing his activities in the group. And by the way, you should know that he was the first of SHINee to launch a solo career even though he is the youngest. On July 27, 2016, Taemin made his Japanese debut with the mini album Sayonara Hitori and held his first showcase in Japan on his birthday. In early July 2017, he held his first concert in Japan, which was a great success. And two weeks later, he released his second Japanese mini album titled Flame Of Love, which sold more than 50,000 copies in one week. The following month, on August 25, 26, and 27, he held his first concerts in Korea and because of the huge success of his performances, he repeated them in October and November. It is a concert in Japan that he will give.

So as you just saw, 2017 was a year really, really full of concerts, but not only that, since he also made his acting debut in the Japanese drama Final Life, which you absolutely must watch. And he made his Korean comeback with his album Move, where you will also notice the presence of choreographer Koharu Sugawara, with whom he has already collaborated several times, notably for Flame Of Love.

This new album sold more than 63,000 copies in one week and Taemin performed Move for the first time on October 17 during the Seoul Fashion Week. During the brand's show, Supercomma B. and this performance met with huge success.

In 2018, he released a MV 'Under My Skin' with his first Japanese studio album. And finally in 2019. At the beginning of February, he made his big comeback running with Want, selling more than 73,000 albums in one week. And you should know that just before this comeback, on the same day, he gave an interview where he talked about military service, SHINee in general, and the void left by Junghung behind him.
