[FEATURE] The Ace of K-Pop: What Makes Taemin a Global Sensation?

An ‘ace’ is someone who excels in every area, and we think the whole world can agree that Taemin is an ace due to his excellence in singing, dancing, and performing. On October 26th, Taemin will be coming to Jakarta for ‘2024 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR [Ephemeral Gaze]’. Before we witness his mesmerizing performance, take a look at why he is an ace and an idol’s idol!

Entrancing Dancing Skill and Alluring Stage Presence

It would be a crime not to include Taemin’s name every time we talk about K-Pop’s best dancers. His ability to convey emotion through movement truly sets him apart from other idols! He makes each show feel like a theatrical experience by blending intense focus with effortless grace. As proof, a lot of his performances influenced his hoobaes (juniors) in the industry and became a staple in the world of dance covers. Check out his Japanese debut, Sayonara Hitori.

Ability to Redefine Masculinity

In 2017, Taemin released his second album, MOVE, with a title track of the same name. The hit took the world by storm as it challenged the conventional portrayal of male idols with its fluid movements and sensuality. It combined delicate and controlled moves alongside sharper, more forceful elements. Not only through this song but throughout his career, Taemin always embraces every facet of himself–whether bold or vulnerable–allowing room for authenticity.

Unyielding Resilience and Reinvention

Taemin debuted with SHINee at the tender age of 14 years old. Despite the challenges that he had to overcome during his early years, he continuously worked to improve every aspect of his craft. After debuting solo in 2014, he managed to put out album after album that showcases different sides of the artist. His personal growth over the years is a testament to his dedication. Take a trip down memory lane with his debut single, Danger!

Whether through mesmerizing choreography, genre-bending music, or captivating live stages, Taemin continues to push boundaries and inspire both fans and fellow artists. As the ‘2024 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR [Ephemeral Gaze]’ approaches, TAEMates (fandom name) can expect more than just a concert, but a magical experience with the ‘Ace of K-Pop’ himself!
