Recently, the management company of Taemin - a member of famous music group SHINee, SM Entertainment, confirmed that the male singer had temporarily stopped participating in artistic activities and enlisted in the army for 2 years. According to the plan, Taemin will start his military service on May 31 and the unit he joined is the Korean Army band.
The young male singer also revealed that he is working on his own solo album as a farewell to fans. The album is expected to be released in the third week of May.
"It would be a pity if the plan was not completed on time. I will try to work harder to keep up with the progress of the new song, as a way to thank the fans who have always supported me over the past time, Taemin said. Taemin considers military service a "calm period" to reorient the image and plans for the future. He promised that after 2 years of returning, the audience would see a different, newer image.
Born in 1993, Taemin's real name is Lee Taemin. He is the youngest member of SHINee. According to the audience's assessment, the male singer is one of the talented singers, full of enthusiasm for his profession, and he is especially loved by fans for his modesty and always being dedicated to his work. Joining SHINee in 2005 helped Taemin build a solid reputation and career, not inferior to the other members.
