TAEMIN - SHINEE
On January 14, a statement from SM ENTERTAINMENT came out. It highlights the problems encountered by the artist TAEMIN during his military service and the changes made for his well-being.

According to the release, SHINEE vocalist and soloist LEE TAEMIN has been transferred from the military band to perform secondary military service in the public service. The singer suffered, long before his departure for his service, from depression and strong anxiety attacks. His departure for the army and the fact that he changed his habits would have aggravated his symptoms. He was following a treatment that he should have stopped or modified for his departure and according to the residents who shared his room, the young man would have nightmares every night and sleep paralysis.
With his ward change, TAEMIN could go home every night and have more livable schedules that would allow him to see two different specialists more regularly. Being in a particular case and having already done a good part of the classic military service, the singer will see a slight extension of his service. The end of this one was originally scheduled for November 2022, but it would now end in February 2023.
Note, the information was to be made public, but much later. Information leaked from TAEMIN base, rumors were already circulating and SM ENTERTAIMENT wanted to keep the information under control.

The dancer has received a lot of support from the fandom and from the other members. Social networks went wild with the news and a wave of concern took hold of the SHAWOLS (fans of the group). Several support projects have emerged for TAEMIN.
MINHO was the first to react on the Bubble app, he reassured the fans by explaining that he was going to look for TAEMIN to go home with him.
