im not a shinee fan, but if youve watched enough kpop their impact is seen in every corner. they started dance practice videos. they started so many fashion and music trends. taemin's move is one of THE best and impactful solo releases by a male idol to this day. and as an army im especially grateful coz theyre one of the senior groups that genuinely openly appreciated bts from the start. and i remember their late member jonghyun as someone so kind and so brave because he would talk about things no one else would. i remember in 2015 or 2016 he openly supported a transgender person coming out online when no one else did. genuinely good people who deserve every bit of love and respect they receive

I'm ARMY and I really like Taemin. He is super talented and humble. There's a reason he is friends with Jimin. You should watch his iconic MV for Move.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

Taemin has the fewest lines in the group but has become the SHINee member with the most successful solo projects. I love them al but Taemin is definitely my bias

[@afreepotatochip8765]

you already listened to the skit in hyyh pt.1, what yoongi meant was that because bts hadn't achieved big success up to that point and the company was losing more money than winning, it wasabout to go bankrupt and so bts would've disbanded if hyyh pt.1 wasn't successful at all, which is why their first win in a music show with i need u in 2015 was such a big deal for them

[@milindawilson9175]

TIMRM stands for Taemin Is My Role Model, which is what most people use to describe Taemin because there is almost no one in the Kpop industry that doesn't say "Taemin is my role model and one of the reasons why I wanted to become a singer and dancer." It's not the name of an album. It's become such a common phrase that everyone in the Kpop industry instantly knows what you are talking about when you say it.

taemin's korean songs are amazing but his japanese releases are on another level. my recommendations for everyone in this comment section that is interested in getting to know more about him: sayonara hitori, famous, eclipse, into the rhythm, flame of love, under my skin

[@sarahf7]

yoongi said they thought HYYH would be their last album bc their company was broke af at that point so their future was super uncertain, but they finally started making money after that with I Need U being their first big song. when groups aren't profitable, they end up disbanding after a couple years which could've happened to BTS if HYYH wasn't successful

[@miniminiemoo]

taemin and jimin are kings of serving androgyny 😩🔥

[@adelate]

Tae and Jungkook didn’t write the songs on their albums either - I think it’s okay to have different goals (like Jungkook said he wanted to try a variety of different songs), and they made a point about how songwriters are also good at what they do. I do still feel closer to the music I know they had a hand in creating, but I still think there’s value in all of it.

[@milindawilson9175]

When Taemin is talking about being 16 and 20 that is in Korean age. So, just so you know, what he was really saying was that when he debuted at 14 he figured by the time he was 18 he would be an adult and have a big change in who he was and in his career, etc. He began his solo career with his debut single "Danger" in 2014 when he was 21 years old.

[@Saddlemomma]

SHINee has A LOT of control over their music and careers which started very early and was rare in the industry in 2008 (Jonghyun wrote the lyrics for their smash hit "Juliette", just one year after they debuted). However, SM realized very early on that SHINee was special and different. They hit the jackpot with the five very talented artists they threw together into an experimental group. Jonghyun was a musical genius who churned out spectacular music for both SHINee and other artsits. He was the very first idol to compose and produce his very own solo albums which opened the door for other SM artists to do so. Minho wrote all his rap segments. Onew, Key, and Taemin also contributed early on with both co-writing songs and for Taemin, tweaking choreos, and Key became their fashion designer for their stages, and in 2015 became an actual fashion director for SM.

[@amall.k]

I want to bring to your attention a significant and heartbreaking event that occurred in the industry. Jonghyun, a member of SHINee, took his own life in December 2017. His untimely death deeply impacted the K-pop community, fans, and his fellow artists.

[@raesnest]

This is gonna be long but I just want to clarify so that people don't misunderstand Taemin in this interview. There's a lot of misinformation going on in these comments since this community doesn't seem to have a lot of people who know about SM artists or how things work for SHINee and Taemin, creatively.

[@deegloss]

Taemin and SHINEE left a huge impact on the kpop scene. Taemin's solo performances are always breath taking and I adore so many Shinee songs, I think they had one of the best debut songs ever.

[@sirdromos2769]

Taemin is one of the GOAT of the K-pop industry

[@YaGurlSunshine]

Shinee (pronunced SHY-NEE not shine) is a group that debuted in 2008 under SM Entertainment, they are generally regarded as one of the best live vocal groups in KPop. Taemin, the maknae of the group, was only fourteen at the time of debut (he said 16 in the video, but that was in Korean Age, when dealing with KPop it's often best just to mental minus two years from whatever age they said)- which is an interesting contrast to see him talking with Yoongi because they're the same age, but they debuted a K-Pop generation apart under very different circumstances. Shinee's sound is generally more on the R&B side, and their ballads and crazy choreos are legendary.

[@arle_91]

Taemin has done everything. he has composed several songs for his own album. he is quite familiar with it... he is a 15 year old artist. But just as many people focus more on lyricism and suck at being live performers or not being able to hold a note. Taemin always focused on being an A1 performer in the industry, a singer, dancer and storyteller to the fullest. That earned him a lot of sweat and tears. That's why he is the best according to music critics. He directs how he wants his work to be, for him the concepts are important and according to that, he directs the lyricism of his album, the visuals and choreography and the musical rearrangements. Best of all, whatever he does, he knows how to convey it. That's why he is the most cited kpop idol as the role model even for Jimin. His work as a singer resonates with many idols and emerging artists. Best of all, he is one in a million because he is truly unique, not a mainstream artist and always artistic and theatrical. I don't think anyone else can say the same... considering that Taemin has been pretty consistent at it since his debut single, so much so that it's his brand.

[@milindawilson9175]

Look up Taemin's extensive discography, both as a solo artist and member of SHINee, and you will see that he has written several songs, but he does not write his songs on a regular basis. However, he has a big influence on the content that he releases and he is involved in all aspects of selecting the songs and shaping his albums to reflect who he is as an artist. Plus, it's not like he just selects random songs to release on an album, Taemin's songs are created for him with his ideas and concepts in mind.

[@danimonique8824]

-Taemins ability to make you feel something outweighs whether or not if he writes. He pushes every boundary when it comes to “good/bad” because it’s still taboo to be different in S.K a lot of younger artists look up to him because they can relate to everything he says. Strings had me in a chokehold for the last two years. Check out his new album Guilty.

[@aildhe4593]

Taeminnie is my bias. I've watched him grow up from his debut and he is absolutely the king of performance. He puts everything he has into everything he does. After Jonghyun of Shinee passed away, the future of Shinee as well as the individual members was very up in the air. I'm so proud of them. I recommend his songs/videos MOVE, WANT, Criminal and then IDEA.
