because we all need more taemin in our lives

[loveflair.livejournal.com]

SHINee's youngest member Taemin concentrates on both his singer activities and his education.

In a NEWSEN interview on the 18th, Taemin spoke about how he is trying his hardest in school and that even this interview was being conducted after he went to school that day. SHINee's company, SM Entertainment, also states that they are planning on making all of their artists continue and finish school. Taemin himself also finds education to be extremely important. Taemin, who just graduated last year from middle school, is now a 17 year old student who attends Chungdam High School.

Not long ago, a comedian during Gag Concert made a joke with a photo about how Taemin couldn't recognize his own school. However, Taemin clarified that it was a photo of the school from 10 years ago, so he wasn't able to recognize it immediately.

Through the drama, <Tae Hee, Hye Kyo, Ji Hyun>, Taemin has made his actor's debut. Taemin said that although he is not very experienced or knowledgeable about acting, he will try his hardest to better himself. He also mentioned that he has always wanted to become an actor, so he always acts with a positive and happy attitude. The members would also help him practice his lines, which he claims is a huge help.

SHINee has just released their new mini-album's title song "Juliette" on various music sites at 10AM on the 18th. In just one hour, it was already the number one song on cyworld--one can truly see the power of super idols.

although he's grown up so much, to me he's still the cute little baby faced taemin i'm used to seeing, haha. he's so skinny now though. o:

i'm glad sm is making their artists continue school. i think education is important. if you can do it while achieving your dream (music in their case) then that's awesome. :]
