"It gave me a valuable opportunity to look back on myself and realize how happy I had been," Taemin said. "I missed you so much that words can't even describe it, and I think you would have felt the same. Funny enough, these thoughts are what kept me strong and also what have helped me grow."
Will Taemin Release a New Album?
While Taemin’s fanmeeting has already been confirmed, SM Entertainment is yet to comment on the rumors that he will have a solo comeback soon.
Pop Base cited an unnamed source on Monday who said that the idol would start preparing new music and release his comeback album this year.
Although it is still unverified, The Korea Herald reported that SHINee would return as a group soon, as what the members have said in the past months. Minho, Onew, and Key revealed that the group started recording for the new album to mark the group’s 15th anniversary.
