TAEMIN also said, “Thank you so much for making me special. I will forever thank you and move forward with a sense of duty! I will always be a person who contributes to your happiness!! I look forward to working with you.” expressing his affection for the fans who waited for him.
TAEMIN entered the Army Training Center in May 2021 and started serving in the Army Military Band after receiving basic military training. However, depression and worries worsened during military service, so he stopped active duty and was transferred to a side service.
