Taemin's Agency Addresses Concerns Over SHINee Activities Amid Rumors

On the 15th, BPM released an official statement acknowledging concerns raised by posts on certain online communities and social media regarding Taemin's involvement with SHINee. The agency stated, "We are aware of the concerns stemming from posts on some communities and SNS regarding Taemin's activities with SHINee, and we would like to clarify our position."
BPM further emphasized, "All recent content posted on social media includes clear falsehoods, and we plan to respond firmly to these false rumors."
The agency continued, "We have always supported and encouraged Taemin's activities with SHINee, which he holds dear. We are committed to ensuring that he receives fair treatment and can continue his activities with full support. We will continue to actively support Taemin as a solo artist and as a member of SHINee, helping him grow into a greater artist."
Previously, concerns arose among SHINee fans when Taemin did not participate in SM Entertainment's 30th-anniversary concert 'SMTOWN.' Addressing these concerns, Taemin personally communicated with fans through a platform, saying, "I was cautious about bringing this up, worried that fans might be concerned about SHINee. I'm sorry for not showing SHINee at 'SMTOWN.' I wanted to quickly resolve discussions with the company and show SHINee, but the talks are taking some time."

Taemin also expressed, "I hope my words don't become arrows for anyone. Once again, all the members love SHINee and share the same feelings, so we are carefully preparing to start SHINee well. Let's meet soon with smiles!"
Thank you to all the fans who have shown great love and interest in Taemin. We are deeply grateful.
