[news] Taemin, Reborn ‘2014 Golden Disk Bonsang Award’ Candidate 

…SHINee Taemin had the honor to become the first among current SM male idols that released a solo album in the history of SM Entertainment. What these [*Seo Taeji, Super Junior, Taemin] have in common is that they are reborn. …Taemin made a new start with his first solo album.

There was no ‘fairy Taemin’ with cute looks. The album was ambitiously titled ‘ACE’. It shows how passionately and self-confidently he worked on it. The keyword for Taemin’s first solo activities was ‘growth.’ It at once blew away the fresh images he had shown as a SHINee member. He showed a dreamy decadent kind of beauty to stir noona fans’ hearts.

The score was also great. He topped monthly album charts with ‘ACE.’ He grabbed number 1 trophies at several music shows including KBS Music Bank and MBC Music Core to prove his potential as a soloist. Worldwide, he made 2nd on the Billboard World Album Chart and 2nd on the Kor-Jpn Weekly Chart (Aug 22~Aug 28) of Taiwanese alum sales chart Five Music. This score card has nothing lacking for the ace of ‘Earth-dol’ SHINee.
