K-pop icon TAEMIN has long stood as one of the most transformative figures in Korean music, recognised for his innovative artistry, fluid performances, and ability to evolve with every era. Signed under BigPlanetMade, he continues to set himself apart as a performer who defies convention and reshapes the boundaries of K-pop through his distinctive blend of movement, sound, and storytelling.

Now, TAEMIN is set to bring his artistry to the global stage with his first-ever solo concert at Dolby Live at Park MGM on 16 January 2026, marking another major milestone in a career defined by transformation and innovation. Known for his captivating stage presence, TAEMIN has proven time and again that his performances transcend entertainment, existing instead as immersive experiences that reflect his growth and creativity.

Since debuting with SHINee in 2008, TAEMIN has become a symbol of artistic evolution and creative fearlessness. His distinct blend of precision, emotion, and theatricality on stage has earned him the title ‘Yeok Sol Nam’, meaning “the best solo male singer of all time”.

Each phase of his career has pushed boundaries and redefined expectations — from the success of his first mini-album Ace, to the fluid sensuality of his second full-length album MOVE, and the introspective depth of his fourth mini-album Guilty released in 2023, TAEMIN has consistently embraced reinvention as part of his identity.

Pushing his vision even further, he released Eternal in 2024, a self-produced album celebrating ten years of solo artistry. The project highlighted his growth as a songwriter, producer, and creative visionary, while his world tour Ephemeral Gaze captured his dynamic performances that mesmerised audiences worldwide. His digital single Veil, which debuted at number three on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales Chart, further solidified his position as a creative force shaping the future of performance.

Making history as the first-ever male K-pop solo artist to perform at Coachella, TAEMIN continues to underscore his global impact with performances that blur the line between choreography and emotion. His upcoming Las Vegas concert will serve as a culmination of years of artistic exploration, proving once again why TAEMIN remains K-pop’s most fearless visionary.
