“I’m writing this for fans who may be worried about SHINee. I’m sorry I can’t participate with SHINee during the SMTOWN concert. I wanted to finish negotiating with the company and participate in SHINee’s activities quickly, but it seems like it will take some time to sort things out. But we are making progress and it looks like this will be over soon.
The other members and I want to protect SHINee and continue our history together. So if you think I don’t want to be on SHINee or are worried that you won’t be able to see SHINee anymore, please don’t worry. I hope what I say doesn’t become a burden to someone else. All members love SHINee and have the same heart. We are working carefully to prepare for SHINee, so let’s see each other soon with smiling faces. Have a nice day and thank you always.”
Despite his absence from the event, the message made it clear that the Taemin with SM Entertainment and their SHINee colleagues remains firm, and fans can look forward to a comeback from the group soon.
