SHINee's Taemin completes his alternative military service.
On the 4th, Taemin will finish his work as a social worker and be discharged. As Taemin was discharged from military service, all SHINee members became mandatory military service members.
Taemin enlisted in the military band battalion of the Ministry of National Defense's Service Support Group on May 31, 2021. However, due to symptoms of depression and panic disorder, he was transferred to supplementary duty on January 14 of last year.
At the time, SM Entertainment, his agency, said, "Taemin had been receiving treatment and counseling continuously during his military service due to symptoms of depression and panic disorder that he had suffered from before, but his symptoms have recently worsened, and the military has determined that it is impossible to combine military service and treatment. “According to the measures, he was transferred to supplementary duty,” he said.
Meanwhile, SHINee, of which Taemin is a member, is scheduled to make a full comeback in May.
