Posts about Lee Tae-min
(Sorry if the title bothers you, you probably don't agree but he is considered by the public that's why I put it. You can surely disagree!)
Today, 18 July 2020 it is Taemin's 27th birthday!
He debuted with SHINee in May 2008 at the age of 14.(2nd gen) He is the youngest member of the group. He is in charge of dancing, he is the main dancer (duh) and sub vocalist.
His dancing has always been good and has been improving a lot over the years. His vocals tho probably weren't the best in the beginning, but he worked hard on them and now he has almost reached main vocal level.
His vocal improvement, helped him make his solo even better. (3rd gen) He debuted as a soloist in August 2014 with the song Danger. His solos have some darkish vibes with hard choreography. He is doing well as a soloist.
11 years after his debut in SHINee, he debuted one more time, with SM's "super group" SuperM. I can proudly say that besides being one of the main dancers, he is also the 2nd main vocalist! This show his big vocal improvement since debut.
He is the senior member in SuperM. Not the maknae anymore. Besides being the senior, he isn't even the oldest member? He tries to be serious in that group, but his chaotic side is always visible.
At the moment, he was preparing for a solo comeback which was delayed, but he sadly got injured in his wrist so it got postponed again. It's okay tho. His health is no. 1 priority.
His vlogs are really fun! Watch them if you feel down. I enjoy them a lot. Here's the link to one of them where he is eating lol.
Taemin overall is an important presence in the kpop world. He is considered one of the best dancers of all time. I look forward to his solo comeback and the group's comeback!
Found on Kpopthoughts subreddit titled 'Post KCON thoughts: Those who really stood out to me'
A 4th gen (possibly American) K-pop multifan's reaction to Taemin LIVE at KCON LA๐
The takeout...
This OMG TAEMIN OMG post KCON feedback is just one of many. Every time Taemin is on the move overseas, he recruits. East Asia - China and Japan especially, know and love Taemin/ SHINee. But the rest of the world, SHINee = prediscovery.
Our K-pop gems have barely peaked, yet are treated like has-beens by fickle home audience. If we don't brag a little, if we don't crank up the heat on World Tour 2024-2034, who will? Marketing geniuses at SM? ๐
The obvious challenge: language barrier. My iShawol strategy: proliferate Taemin + Key + SHINee ENGLISH content, with focus on their best recent LIVE PERFORMANCES.
Oh as soon as Taemin started talking after the first KCON song, he mentioned SHINee - IMMEDIATELY, TWICE. So proud๐โค๏ธ๐
