Lee Tae Min

  • Name: Lee Tae Min
  • Native name: 이태민
  • Also Known as: Taemin, I Tae Min
  • Nationality: South Korean
  • Gender: Male
  • Born: July 18, 1993
  • Age: 31
Lee Tae Min is a South Korean singer, dancer, model, actor and member of SHINEE (샤이니, stylized as SHINee) and SUPERM (슈퍼엠). He graduated from Hanlim Multi-Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Musical Performance from Myongji University. Before debuting, he was a trainee at SM Academy Casting for 3 years.

He made his debut in May 2008 as the group's main dancer, sub-vocalist and maknae with their first EP, "Replay". They immediately gained attention for starting a fashion trend amongst students, which the media dubbed the "Shinee Trend". In 2008, they won the Newcomer Album of the Year Award at the 23rd Golden Disc Awards for "The Shinee World".

In June 2011, SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) decided to expand to Japan and, alongside EMI Records, they debuted with a Japanese version of "Replay" and continued to earn prizes and fans both domestically and internationally. The group has also been included in the Forbes South Korea Power Celebrity 40 twice, in 2014 and in 2016.

He made his debut as a solo artist in August 2014 with the mini-album, "Ace".

In October of that year, SM Entertainment decided to create a project group with members of several groups in order to promote overseas. He debuted as SUPERM's main dancer, main vocalist and center with their first self-titled EP.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on May 31, 2021, and was discharged on April 4, 2023.

His contract with SM ended in March 2024, but he decided not to renew it. A few weeks later, he signed with Big Planet Made Entertainment (빅플래닛메이드엔터) for his solo activities while SM Entertainment still handles group-related activities.
