The group officially debuted on May 25, 2008, performing on the music program ‘Inkigayo’ on SBS. Taemin’s acting debut occurred the following year in MBC’s comedy ‘Hilarious Housewives’ as Junsu. In January 2012, he provided the voice for the main character in the Korean version of the animated film ‘Koala Kid’. He also participated as a contestant on the singing competition program ‘Immortal Songs 2’ and released his first soundtrack song, ‘U’, for the drama ‘To The Beautiful You’ in September 2012. He continued his work with various collaborations and appearances, including joining the reality variety show ‘We Got Married’ in April 2013 with Son Na-eun as his partner, and featuring in Henry’s solo song ‘Trap’ in June alongside Super Junior’s Kyuhyun.
Taemin began his solo career on August 18, 2014, with the release of his first extended play (EP), ‘Ace’. This EP reached number one on South Korea’s Gaon Album Chart, and its lead single ‘Danger’ peaked at number five on the Gaon Digital Chart. The music video for ‘Danger’ featured choreography by American choreographer Ian Eastwood and SM Entertainment’s BeatBurger team. In February 2016, he released his first studio album, ‘Press It’, which included ten songs, with the lead single ‘Press Your Number’ co-produced by Bruno Mars. This album also debuted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart. He expanded his solo work into Japan in July 2016, releasing his second EP, ‘Sayonara Hitori’, and held a showcase for his 23rd birthday. In June 2016, Taemin also joined Mnet’s dance program ‘Hit the Stage’, placing first in the second episode with choreographer Koharu Sugawara.
Throughout his career, Taemin has released several successful albums and EPs, including his second Korean studio album, ‘Move’ (2017), which gained significant attention for its choreography-focused title track. In 2018, he released his first Japanese studio album, ‘Taemin’, and conducted his first Japanese tour, Sirius, which drew 100,000 attendees across 32 sold-out shows. In 2019, he debuted as a member of the K-pop supergroup SuperM. His third Korean studio album, ‘Never Gonna Dance Again’ (2020), received critical acclaim. He continued to release music, including the EPs ‘Advice’ (2021), ‘Guilty’ (2023), and ‘Eternal’ (2024), the latter commemorating his tenth solo debut anniversary.
