2023 is an exciting year for SHINee fans, because the boy group celebrated their 15th anniversary this year and released their eighth studio album “Hard”. Three different solo albums have also been released, two by Key and one by Onew. But something was still missing to make the year perfect: A comeback from Taemin!
To the fans’ delight, SHINee’s maknae announced his fourth mini album “Guilty” on Instagram and Twitter yesterday evening. You can already pre-order it in our shop now!
Taemin made his solo debut back in August 2014. His very first album “Ace” was already a huge success: It topped several charts and earned Taemin both music show trophies and the grand prize at the 29th Golden Disc Awards! Since then, the singer has released 12 more albums, in both Korean and Japanese. By now, Taemin has many viral hits like “Move” or “Criminal” to his name and is a role model for many younger idols.
Taemin’s last mini album “Advice” was released on May 18, 2021, two and a half years ago! During that time he was in the military, because military service is mandatory for all men in South Korea. After his return at the beginning of the year, he first focused on his activities with SHINee, but now Taemin is finally returning solo again!
We don’t know many details yet, except that the album will contain six songs, including the title track “Guilty”, and will be released on October 30. But you can already pre-order the different versions of the album in our shop now:
There are two photobook versions, one Digipack version, one Box version and one SMini version. So far it is not known what exactly each of the versions has to offer, but we will surely find out soon. As soon as there are details, we will update the information on the product pages, so check back regularly so you don’t miss anything!

Besides the new Taemin album, fans can also look forward to a documentary that is set to premiere in November:
The film is called “My SHINee World” and takes a look back at the last 15 years of the legendary boy group. An emotional journey through time awaits us, with never-before-seen footage. We can hardly wait!
