SHINee’s maknae, Taemin is out to steal nuna’s hearts as a mysterious thief. I want to accuse him of embezzling what has been dispossessed, but I can’t. For nuna’s hearts cannot be dispossessed since they have been Taemin’s from the beginning. I met Taemin, who has made a surprise growth for 7 years and set out to be a soloist, in Seoul on 8/22. The following are Taemin’s answers to the questions I wanted to ask Taemin.
Q. You are the first soloist from SHINee. How do you feel?
A. It was a big burden but also made my heart aflutter. I’m trying diverse things. In SHINee, members made up for my shortcomings, but now I have to do it by myself. haha.
Q. What did the solo project get started?
A. I don’t know when it did with the company. I started preparing in March~April? Early this year? Around the Spring I was told about it.
Q. Some make a connection between ‘Sherlock’ and ‘Danger’. Is it true?
A. Right, some say so. But the song wasn’t made with a set plan but born in the process of making. While talking over the new album with the company, I wanted to show images not seen in SHINee, and the song came out of the images of me only known to fans and those of me only known to the company all gathered up. Actually there are lots of improvisations. We changed things like “How about this hair or this outfit since we have such a music video set?” I had my hair blond until yesterday, which was decided suddenly. After the m/v shoot, there was a suggestion “how about trying lighter hair color?” and I had a re-shoot after changing my hair to blond.
Q. How do SHINee, your family, and acquaintances respond?
A. Members have seen me for a long time and been through hardships together, so they cheer for me a lot. They congratulate and encourage me showing their interest. Key hyung gave me a present. haha. He added his birthday’s coming soon. Jonghyun hyung cheered through SNS. Onew hyung contacted me personally.
Q. You wept in a fanmeeting.
A. I think you got a wrong story! (laugh) Actually tears…were shed a lot. How to express my feelings at that time…I was filled with emotions. I shook hands with fans. Fans say good things to me always. Each and every one telling me “You’ve been through a lot” “You worked hard”, emotions had been swelling up in my heart. Their true feelings touching me, all the memories of SHINee activities recalled, I was so happy with fans’ cheering and my heart swelling up with emotions got out of control. At that moment, although I’m not a weepy type, at that moment it was unstoppable. I was really thankful.
Q. Jonghyun tweeted you really had been through a lot. What hardship remains most in your mind?
A. Ayyy, everyone has a hardship. Not just me. I think members say too good things to me. No hardship in particular. I enjoyed all I’ve been through.
Q. Your weight is 57㎏. You are trying to gain weight?
A. The amount of practice for this activity was really a lot. I worked out and was stressed in the process of preparing, so I lost much weight! I think I have a fast metabolism, haha. So I’m eating really a lot. See this? (Taemin lifted up the peanut butter bottle with a spoon put in.) I’m shoveling this into my mouth to gain weight. I think I’m born with slim bones. Maybe I have a female body type?
Q. Which track do you feel attached to?
A.’Ace’ and ‘Pretty Boy’. Ace lyrics were written by TVXQ Changmin hyung. I was really moved. It became a song I’m attached to right away. In case of Pretty Boy, Jonghyun hyung wrote the lyrics. We talked about the album concept while he was writing. In addition, my best friend EXO Kai helped by doing featuring, so I’m very attached to it.
Q. Why Taemin from SHINee?
A. Right, surprising? Of course I think I’m still lacking a lot. There are things other members are good at and I’m good at. I think my company saw those things favorably. And they have some expectations of me? haha. But it’s not like I’ll be the only soloist, I think other members can try their solo albums later. My overall feeling is ‘I was lucky’?
Q. What can Taemin do better than other members?
A. Dance! Of course other members dance well too. But We have different dance styles. I can dance well in my own style.
Q. I think you are as good in vocal, not only in dance. Is this album the one that showcases your vocal capability?
A. Well? I’m still looking for my vocal identity. My company is helping me find my own color. In fact, Danger is a song with low key for my vocal range. In the beginning it was very hard for me. But after I made it… this may sound funny but SM seems to be a company that helps a singer improve! haha. They try lots of things this or that.
Q. If you pick the next soloist from SHINee?
A. Ah, wait. The other hyungs will feel sorry if I pick one. Ah, I want to debut the manager hyung over there. When we went to a karaoke room, he bawled out coolly.
Q. What is your goal for this activity?
A. SHINee Taemin came out as Lee Taemin. I hope people will recognize Lee Taemin’s own identity, not SHINee’s maknae. I want to impress Lee Taemin in their mind.
Q. Can we see you as soloist again? If so, when?
A. I have no specific plan yet. Given a chance and prepared, I think I will, but I should prepare a SHINee album next?
