Top Taemin albums

• ETERNAL (2024) – Taemin’s most recent release, ETERNAL was his first big step away from SM Entertainment. Heavily R&B and 80s inspired with tracks like “Crush” and “Horizon,” it’s experimental yet perfectly Taemin.
• Guilty (2023) – His first comeback after returning from mandatory military service, it was a true return to form with smooth, soulful vocals and a viral dance challenge born from the choreography for ‘Guilty.’
• MOVE (2017) – Speaking of viral dances, the choreography for ‘Move’ shifted the K-pop industry forever, with both the album and Taemin’s performances solidifying his androgynous, gender-neutral expression on stage.
• Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1 (2020) – Iconic songs like ‘Criminal’ and ‘Black Rose’ continue to be on Taemin’s setlists to this day. This era of his solo career highlighted him as a true pioneer in the industry, with many idols citing him as their inspiration.
• Press It (2016) – Taemin’s first full-length album, it includes the quintessentially Taemin ‘Sexuality’ and single ‘Press Your Number,’ with the latter’s demo being written by Bruno Mars.

Taemin’s most iconic moment

Taemin’s most iconic moment in his 17-year long career has to be the release of his single ‘Move’ in 2017. The choreography stood out among other K-pop releases of the time as uniquely sensual and androgynous, making it one of the most recognisable K-pop choreographies of all time and giving Taemin the nickname “The Idol of Idols.”
