Lee traveled to Los Angeles to learn the routine.[14]

On February 3, 2015, Lee was confirmed for the cast of the first season of Match Made in Heaven Returns.[15] On April 14, 2015, Lee was also a cast member in JTBC's program Off to School alongside other celebrities.

I want to say that I’ve become a stronger performer."[19] The album debuted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart.[20]

In June 2016, Lee's Japanese debut was announced with the EP Sayonara Hitori, including a showcase on his 23rd birthday.

2017–2018: Flame of Love, Move, and Taemin

In July 2017, Lee held his first solo concert in Japan at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo[25] and released a new Japanese song, "Flame of Love", ahead of the concert,[26] which attracted 28,000 fans.[27] Lee held his first Korean concert, Off-Sick, at the end of August for three days with a total of 12,000 audience members.[28] Encore concerts of Off-Sick were announced on September 7 and took place on October 14 and 15 at Jamsil Gymnasium, which holds twice as many people from the previous hall.[29] The two-night shows brought out 20,000 fans.[30]

In August 2017, Lee's first Japanese drama, Final Life: Even If You Disappear Tomorrow,[31] was announced. The crime drama, directed by Masatoshi Kurakata and Takeshi Maruyama, is an original Japanese work of Amazon Prime Video and was released in September. It stars Lee and Shota Matsuda.[32] The soundtrack for the drama, "What's This Feeling" is also sung by Lee.[33]

Lee's second studio album, Move, was released in October 2017.[34] Its lead single of the same name gained attention for its unique choreography and sparked a trend known as "Move Disease" after a performance of the song went viral in the country.[35][36][37] The album debuted at number two on the Gaon Album Chart and number three on the Billboard World Albums Chart.[38] On December 10, a repackaged edition of Move was released, under the title Move-ing. It added four new songs to the tracklist, including the lead single "Day and Night".[39] That same month, he was scheduled to perform at the annual KBS Song Festival, but pulled out a week after the death of fellow Shinee member Jonghyun.[40]

Beginning September 21, 2018, Lee embarked on his first Japan nationwide concert tour, Sirius.[41] The tour consisted of 32 sold-out concerts across 16 cities, attracting audiences of 100,000.[42] On November 5, 2018, Lee released the self-titled Taemin, his third overall and first Japanese studio album.[43]

2019: Want, Famous, SuperM

Lee released his second Korean EP, Want, on February 11, 2019.[44] The choreography for the title song of the same name was created by Koharu Sugawara.[44] The EP ranked on various Billboard charts, including number four on World Albums, making it Lee's fifth entry to date, and number five on Heatseekers Albums, which was a new peak for the artist.[45] He followed up the release with his second Korean concert T1001101, staged March 15–17 at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium.[46]

Lee began his first Japan arena tour, XTM, in Hokkaido on June 8.[47] 14 dates were initially planned, but three additional performances were added in August to accommodate demand.[48] On August 4, 2019, Lee digitally released his third Japanese EP Famous, with a physical release on August 28, 2019, through EMI Records Japan and Universal Music Japan.[49] The lead single and title track "Famous" was released on July 26, 2019, along with a music video.

In August 2019, Lee became a member of SuperM, a "K-pop supergroup" created by SM Entertainment in collaboration with Capitol Records. The group's promotions began in October and were aimed at the American market.[50][51] SuperM's self-titled debut EP was released on October 4, 2019 with lead single "Jopping".[52] Lee returned to Japan with his T1001101 concert in December, performing at Yokohama Arena and Osaka-jō Hall over the course of three days.[53]

2020–present: Never Gonna Dance Again, Advice, and military service

Lee's third Korean studio album, Never Gonna Dance Again, was released in two parts, in September and November 2020 respectively.[54] The project, together with its lead singles "Criminal" and "Idea", was widely recognized by critics as one of the best K-pop releases of the year.[55][56][57][58][59][60]

On April 19, 2021, Lee announced during a broadcast on V Live that he would be enlisting for his mandatory military service on May 31. He would be serving as a member of the military band.[61] He released his third Korean EP, Advice, before doing so, on May 18. The album features five songs, including the lead single of the same name.[62] He previewed the single at an online concert, titled N.G.D.A. (Never Gonna Dance Again), which he held through the Beyond Live platform on May 2. The concert drew 90,000 viewers across 119 countries.[63]

On January 14, 2022, it was announced that Taemin will fulfill the rest of his military service as a public service worker due to worsening symptoms of depression and panic disorder.[64]

Style and influence

Lee is noted for his distinctive, intricate dancing style, which often incorporates elements of contemporary dance. His frequent use of androgynous fashion and heavy make-up, especially starting from his 2017 single "Move", has become one of his trademarks.[65]

I wanted to go beyond what K-pop typically is perceived as, and through "Move" I was able to show a concept that’s more edgy, more powerful. Not only that, but regardless of the gender, I believe that all of the audience will be able to enjoy and listen to this as something different from most of what’s coming out in K-pop. (...) My aim was to find a middle ground, mixing both masculine and feminine movements into the choreography together.[66] - Lee on "Move"

The choreography to the song "Move", created by Japanese choreographer and Lee's frequent collaborator Koharu Sugawara, went viral in Korea, spurring many dance covers by both fans and celebrities. The phenomenon was dubbed "Move disease".[67][68] Lee is recognized as the pioneer of the genderless trend in the performance of male K-pop idols.[69]

Lee's discography is predominantly pop and R&B, with occasional influences of rock, hip-hop, trap and electro, and is notably darker in theme compared to his work with Shinee. His songs' concepts cover a wide range of topics, such as love, lust, self-discovery, philosophy and faith. His music videos, known for their sensual character, are often choreography focused, and frequently contain biblical references, particularly in "Want" and "Idea".[70][71]

Philanthropy

In 2016, Taemin along with groupmate Key and other artists from SM Entertainment took part in the "Make a Promise" campaign organised by UNICEF and Louis Vuitton, whereby 40% of the proceeds were donated through UNICEF to the children in need.[72]

Personal life

In March 2011, Lee transferred from Chungdam High School to Hanlim Multi Art School to accommodate his hectic schedule during Shinee's Japanese advancement.[73] He graduated in February 2012, but was unable to attend the ceremony due to the band's activities.[74] Lee has been majoring in Film and Musicals at Myongji University since 2013.[75] He is Catholic.[76]
