shinee taemin fifth mini-album august first world tour

SHINee‘s Taemin has recently teased the upcoming release of his fifth mini-album next month, alongside his first solo world tour.

The Korean musician held his ‘Never-Never’ fanmeeting over the past weekend (July 12 to 14) in Seoul, at the end of which he made a surprise announcement to fans about new music slated for release in August, per Herald Pop.

Taemin did share that it would be a mini-album, however more details such as its definitive release date, tracklist and title have yet to be announced. Notably, the upcoming record will mark the SHINee member’s first release since he left SM Entertainment and signed with BPM Entertainment in April.

Alongside news of new music, Taemin also shared that he will be embarking on his first-ever solo world tour starting this year, however no further detail was provided.

Taemin last released solo music in October 2023 with the mini-album ‘Guilty’, led by a title track of the same name. The record included hit song ‘The Rizzness’, and marked his first music since he completed his two years of mandatory military service in April 2023.

In an interview with NME, Taemin shared: “[The single] ‘Guilty’ is about a selfish love that hurts the other person. It’s not coming from my experience, but I used it as a way to define what love is and express it on stage.”

In other SHINee news, bandmate Key most recently released the solo single ‘Tongue Tied’ in June, making it his first solo release in ten months. Prior to that, he came back in September 2023 with the ‘Good & Great’ mini-album. He and the rest of SHINee released music as a group in June 2023 with their eighth full-length album, ‘Hard’.
