SHINee member Taemin is to release a mini album on August 18 to start his first solo activities. The title delivers his ‘get-up-and-go’ spirit. The album title is ‘ACE’.
When Taemin’s solo debut news came out, many people showed interest and expectations. The reason Taemin’s solo album is meaningful is that it has made the public feel his ‘growth’.
In fact, Taemin, called ‘fairy Taemin’, has been known for his cute appearance, his smile that sets nuna’s hearts aflutter, and surprising dance skills. But his part in SHINee’s first debut album was humiliatingly small, and some people even suspected he was picked for his appearance, not for his singing ability, as his voice was breaking at that time.
However, Taemin was undaunted by such harsh comments. Even debuting so young, he was a ‘singer’ most strict to himself. He worked so hard to make up for his lacks, for instance, singing a song part for one month, that members even said among themselves ‘he practiced so much as to make one sick and tired of it’. One result of his efforts is Taemin singing Jonghyun’s part perfectly in 2009 when Jonghyun had to rest due to swine flu. His singing capability was recognized also through Immortal Song 2.
As Taemin began to be recognized for his singing capability as well as his stage charisma and wonderful performance, the possibility of his solo debut has been raised among fans from last year. This is why Taemin’s solo debut news is no surprise.
According to SM Entertainment, Taemin will stage a special performance to show his unique personality and charms through this solo album, different from the performances he has shown as SHINee. He is determined to captivate global music fans through his shocking transformation.
Taemin drew great responses from fans by showing dreamy decadent beauty instead of his usual fresh images through his self-composed song Cry for Me on SM Town Week concert. As for dance style, he is said to be good at urban dance, grooving and cutting beats.
The solo debut teaser pictures released on August 11 also convey a languid and dreamy feel with images of him at the boundary between boyhood and manhood. SM explains Taemin’s album title song ‘Danger’ is an electro swing dance song with powerful synth base sound and unique percussion in harmony.
A source said “The languid sexy vibe from Taemin who used to look like a kid drew hot responses from fans. There’s no way SM doesn’t make use of such a charm.” He also added, “There’s a metallic sound in Taemin’s voice, which makes it quietly sexy. If Taemin makes use of it, he will be able to become an ‘ace’ through this album.”
Taemin’s m/v teaser will be released through his official homepage and SM Town Youtube channel on August 12.
