Article: [Exclusive] SHINee Taemin to make solo debut in August... finalizing his work

1. [+356, -70] Taemin is proof that pure effort can help you acheive anything you want. He started off as someone who couldn\'t sing so well to someone who now releases solo albums. Fighting to Taemin for working so hard in between! Looking forward to the album.

2. [+312, -64] I\'m sure anyone who still thinks of Taemin as the group\'s dancer would be surprised upon hearing the news but he\'s recently picked up on his vocals if you listen to him sing. I was surprised at how many main parts Taemin sang ㅎㅎ Considering his recent passion + talent and actual desire to improve, I think it\'s an album worth looking forward to.

3. [+153, -31] Taemin\'s a great singer ㅎㅎ It\'s been a while but I thought he was an emotional singer when i saw him on Immortal Song.

1. [+7,520, -336] A positive example of an idol who continues to improve ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+5,831, -387] Surprised that it\'s not a Jonghyun solo but a Taemin solo

3. [+4,295, -290] Eh? Isn\'t SM releasing a girl group too? Overlapping promotions?

4. [+4,215, -289] Looking forward to it because he\'s perfect in both singing and dance. Fighting!!

5. [+1,390, -51] He barely had any lines when he first debuted but he\'s improved to the point where he\'s now in charge of the high notes. I remember being surprised when I first heard him. I like how he strives to improve all the time so work hard.

6. [+1,090, -51] Taemin\'s singing was originally on Sohee\'s level but now he\'d slap any main vocalist out of the water if he joined a different group

7. [+990, -38] I always thought Taemin was a bad singer but he handled all of the high notes on stage without Jonghyun... He\'d be a main vocalist in any other group. And of course, his dancing doesn\'t need any words.

8. [+973, -32] He\'s always been known for his dancing than his singing... but he\'s now a main vocalist.

Finally <3 , i wanted his sólo for so long , now i want seohyun's , taeyeon's , o new , kyuhyun's and luna's

So happy for him!! SM has so many great artists that need to shine as solos. Glad they finally doing that after Henry :D

I remember when Taemin debuted. This scrawny little kid with a bowl cut who could barely hold a note at all, and now look at him. It's amazing.

Taemin really has come so far though. I had to pause when I heard him hitting high notes for the first time. So talented ~

[+356, -70] Taemin is proof that pure effort can help you acheive anything you want. He started off as someone who couldn't sing so well to someone who now releases solo albums.

this! His determination has been there since 2009

Please don't give tiffany a solo and givi it to seohyun or taeyeon :)

definitely thought it be Jonghyun aswell but then again Jonghyun is freely composing songs and people actually get to hear it

TAemin has improved so much since debut anyway. This is deserving.

The next idol to be tired of: Lee Taemin. Glad he improved and all but no thanks.

Not surprised sm has been pushing for him . I wonder if we're getting an ot5 comeback tho

Taemin basically sounds like Jonghyun but.. smoother.

I'm still waiting for that solo album for Onew :( he has one of the nicest tones in kpop.

SM should let Jonghyun officially release more of his personally composed music in the future though!

SM really wants to draw attention away from f(x)

Go! Maknae I'm so proud of you... I will support you along the way. ..Taemin Fighting! !!!!

I would want it to be Jonghyun tbh. SHINee's music holds him back so much vocally to most of their poppy songs and he only really gets to shine(e) on a few tracks on some albums. Taemin has improved, yeah, but I don't think he deserves a solo just yet. But oh well, I won't be listening for this debut at all.

Guess he was going througj puberty when I last looked at him (lucifer) he looks so different now

same but i guess taemin's more marketable . I hope he gets more support with his composing/ lyrics tho

I honestly didn't. I can't see Jonghyun wanting to do a solo that is produced, choreographed, etc. by SM. The things he has done outside of SHINee give me a kind of k-indie vibe from him. I don't know if he'd want to do pop music for a solo, you know?

same, but maybe he's next. one solo doesn't rule out others. honestly it's nice seeing sm more of their acts solos and i hope they continue. promoting alongside groups isn't a bad idea, it's nice side revenue and chance for in house talent to shine

Ehh, he'll probably get one in the future though. Idk about onew though, I have no hopes under SM

I'm more surprised they went for a Shinee solo, over a Soshi (but I guess they have TTS idk) or another SuJu member

Jonghyun has been doing a lot of things and he had sm the ballad earlier in the year. honestly i'm jonghyun biased think it's understandable that it's taemin.

tiffany's not planning on a korean solo i think, she wants to go back to america

Wtf....I would love to see Tiffany on stage. She seems so passionate about her singing and she improved so much from her debut days. Her & Yuri's solos I'm looking forward to, just because I think they'll bring something different to the table

Taemin just gets better and better. I wanted an ot5 comeback but he really deserves this.

idk rumors about this has been happening for like 2 months.

Taemin deserves this. I'm a Jonghyun fan myself, but i dont expect a jjong debut solo just bcoz he is the lead vocalist of SHINee. Jjong has SM The Ballad, his own radio show now as a dj + composing his own songs that we get to hear. Its not bad at all to hv Taemin solo debut, instead i anticipate this so much ! >w<)b

p/s : The hyungs must be so proud of him. I bet Jjong will be fanboying Taemin on his twitter later LOL

Imagine if he was the 4th member of the girl group. I'd laugh if they made him cross dress.

I agree about Tae's voice over Jjong's /gets bricked/

And yeahh idk if that onew solo will ever happen under SM

yeah first with new girl group and now taemin, it must be bad with f(x)..... somethings brewing inside

i agree. plus i think he wants to try out composing a bit and improve before actually doing a solo.

tiffany's so sloppy on stage and already monopolizes both snsd and tts so she's practically a soloist already

Thank u for leaved your positive comment to our bb taeminie k-netz^^♡

He's been preparing this for months lmao..

onew's had vocal chord surgery or something, he wouldn't be able to do a solo this year even if he wanted to

More like they need to have artists active in order to hit quarterly earnings projections. If they have a girl group stop mid-promotion, the lost revenue has to be made up elsewhere.

I hope his comeback brings us something good i feel like sm this year has been a mess with everything

I'm surprised they went for a Shinee solo, but the rumor said it to be SJ solo :\

Em this is not related to taemin but dear nb can u post another uee article?^.^ i hope u read this thank u:))

I don't think that's the case with this solo. Taemin having a solo has been a rumor that's be floating around for a few months.

Barely anyone under SM has had a real solo debut except Henry and now Taemin (OSTs aren't real solos)

No one in SHINee has gone solo only participated in sub units ( Sm the ballad, Toheart , Sm the performance/ Henry collab )

nah. which is the weird thing b/c his voice is perfect for the type of ballads that Korea likes. He could totally be doing a sung shi kyung/kim yeon woo type of solo album yet.. we've got nothing.

seohyun has not enough charisma/stage presence for a solo singer :S

I am very happy for Taemin! I am curious what the song will be like. I am also wondering if SHINee will still have a Korean comeback or not this year. From late September until mid-December they are going to be touring in Japan and doing SMTOWN concerts, not to mention their solo activities. The last quarter of the year will be jammed packed!

Yasss! i love his voice and hope he will get a good song~

He had a (successful) vocal surgery so he can't sing for a while to let his throat heal properly.

i wonder if the comment would have been this kind if it was a girl from SM who had a solo debut........

Who'd have ever thought he'd the first SHINee member to go solo?! LOL I feel like a proud mom because he was legit baby when he debuted.

But honestly, his voice is not my cup of tea, but he'll slay on stage, so I really wouldn't mind seeing him perform. He'd be so awkward being interviewed alone though. LOL

Lol; he's preparing a long time ago. He is the best in all thay shitty company <3

[+1,390, -51] He barely had any lines when he first debuted but he's

improved to the point where he's now in charge of the high notes. I

remember being surprised when I first heard him. I like how he strives

thank you fo the positive comment.. yaeh Taemin improve very well.. iam Shawol and MVP (Onew Fans) but iam proud Taemin will make debut :) fighting!!!

What about Kris? SM shouldn't stop just because someone sued them. LOL they never would've gone anywhere if they stopped when JYJ and Geng sued them.

i'm younger than him and i feel like a proud mum lol

Onew has done a few solo OST tracks but nothing beyond that. He had vocal surgery earlier this year so he wouldn't have been able to do it anyway. If he does go solo though I pray to the gods he does a trot album.

Still to drop it now with the new sudden girl group debut its obviouse that sm is trying to divert everyones attention away from sulli and the fx issue

I agree but as long as he's with sm they're going to have some input. Earlier this year he was working with Teddy Riley and i'm curious as to what that's for .

iam too.. Onew must debut with ballad song. u,u

True. I wish SM eventually lets Jonghyun do solo promotions that suit his taste, and not super idol-like like Henry and Taemin's.

ok I need to say something before the bitter/ignorant people get here

Jonghyun has said time and time again that he's not interested in promoting music outside of SHINee rn; his current goal is to build an image as a musician through his increasing compositions and Blue Night radio show, and that is what he's doing right now.

Onew has not shown any interest in solo promotions yet, when asked what he wants to do next, he said he wants to branch out into things outside music (variety/acting/musicals etc) and he was well on his goal this year with LOTJ recordings and singing in the rain musical but he had to stop because of his vocal surgery.

Taemin on the other hand has made it very clear that he is interested in solo work. He said things like he wants people to see him "Lee Taemin" not as "SHINee's maknae/main dancer" and he said that he wonders if he could to stand on stage alone without his hyungs and he wants to try.

basically if you've been following SHINee closely, the fact that it's hardly surprising.

for people who are insisting that if Jongyu aren't first then it isn't fair, know this:

1- you are either asking for Jonghyun and Onew to be pressured and rushed into a debut they may not be interested in or ready for at this moment.

2- or you're asking Taemin to wait for Jongyu to take their time until they're ready even though he is ready now and he deserves it too, just like them.

please understand that what you want is not what they want. please understand that deserving doesn't equal wanting (and they are all deserving). please understand that just because you think they're ready, doesn't mean they want to do it now. If they would rather do other stuff, if they would rather wait, let them.

also just because someone says they hoped ___ would get it doesn't mean they're hating on Taemin, so don't get too defensive.
