The artist TAEMIN officially published his new track “Permission” on May 22 at 1 PM KST, which he had revealed as a worldwide exclusivity on the stage of the “Coachella 2026” festival.
After releasing his very first digital single in English, “LONG WAY HOME”, last March, TAEMIN became the first South Korean male solo singer to perform on the stage of the famous American music festival, the “Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival”. On this occasion, he had performed six unreleased songs, including the track “Permission” which is now the subject of this official release.
““Permission” is an impressive track that unfolds with intensity on a sound that is both dark and sophisticated. The track tells the autobiographical story of TAEMIN, who chooses to take ownership of his life and take control of it. It expresses in a symbolic way a message of freedom and liberation, breaking free from standards as well as the control of others to move forward in his own way.
A representative of his agency, GALAXY CORPORATION, declared:
“TAEMIN’s unique narrative, which he proved on the Coachella stage, finds its fulfillment through this single. Much more than a simple musical release, it is a track that allows confirming the artistic direction toward which he tends.”
Since his debut within the group SHINee, the singer TAEMIN has established himself as one of the most representative male solo artists of K-pop by building original performances and a sensory musical universe.
In this year 2026, he continues to extend his influence by pursuing international localization activities, notably marked by his entry into the American Coachella festival, as well as multidimensional musical experimentations.
