On April 19, local time, Lee Tae-min, the youngest member of the South Korean boy band SHINee, announced in a live broadcast that he would enlist in the army on May 31. In order to make up for the gap of two years, it is expected that the solo album will be released around the second and third weeks of May, and there may also be an online concert.
It is reported that when Li Taimin was live that night, he named the title of the live broadcast "Thank you for 13 years", and then said in the live broadcast that the 15-year-old debuted as a member of SHINee, and now it is the 13th year of debut, thanking fans for their support over the years.
Lee Tae-min said that because he is reluctant to follow fans, he is expected to release his solo album in the 2nd or 3rd week of May. If the itinerary is too late, we will also consider holding an online concert, which is tentatively scheduled to enter a blank period after May 31. In other words, Lee Tae-min will enlist in the military on May 31.
In the process of live broadcasting, Li Taimin talked about the future arrangements several times choked, in front of the camera to learn the news of the fans are also very excited, and even some of the old fans who watched Li Taimin's 15-year-old debut felt that time passed too quickly, "Obviously it is the age of junior high school students, why did you suddenly announce that you are going to join the army?" ”
Speaking of which, this is already the second male artist of SM Entertainment Agency to announce his enlistment through live broadcasting. Previously, it was ExO member Bian Boxian who pioneered this "live announcement of enlistment". It is very coincidental that Lee Tae-min and Bian Boxian had previously formed a limited group Super M, and at that time, Under the influence of Bian Boxian, Lee Tae-min also learned the stunt of "spoilers anytime and anywhere", which not only stunned the other members of SHINee who had not been active together for a long time, but even fans could not help but say, "Bian Boxian, this prosperous world is as you wish."
And this time, the way Li Taimin announced his enlistment in the live broadcast is obviously also following the example of Bian Boxian. Although some fans have begun to predict that Kim Jong-jin (KAI), who also debuted as a member of the limited group Super M and a member of EXO, will probably announce his enlistment in the form of live broadcast in the near future, but there are also many SM family fans who feel that the reason why Bian Boxian and Lee Tae-min personally announced in the form of live broadcast is probably that SM's public relations are somewhat unreliable.
Before SM responded to the incident of aespa member Kim Hyun-ting at the magazine shooting scene, suspected of being secretly filmed by the staff, it made many SM fans angry. The action of the original video is very obvious, not to mention that the camera also captured the mobile phone interface of the staff behind the camera, but even if there is so much "iron evidence", the response given by SM is still "no misunderstanding situation", which is obviously a denial of the staff's secret shooting.
It is almost an ironclad fact that they still want to cover up the michigan, and it is no wonder that Bian Boxian and Lee Tae-min chose to announce to fans the news that they are about to enlist in the army through live broadcasting, and it seems that they really can't believe SM.
