Shinee recently released an album containing two singles on their 17th debut anniversary in May, with one song written by their late member Jonghyun and featuring his voice on the bridge.
Despite joining a new agency for his solo career, Taemin told us: "Honestly, working on albums with my fellow members always feels very natural and comfortable due to our familiarity."
He added: "Releasing an album featuring a special song left by our member Jonghyun was deeply meaningful.
"I recall recording it with the heartfelt wish that those cherished emotions would resonate with the listeners."
When it comes to his own solo work, Taemin shared that he is "continuously working on new albums".
"It feels like an ongoing process of sharing my evolving identity as a musician," he added.
Waterbomb Singapore 2025 at Siloso Beach, Sentosa, will also feature Exid, Huta (aka Minhyuk) from BtoB, Sorn and Seungyeon from CLC and local singer WhyLucas on Aug 30.
2NE1, Lee Young-ji, Jay B and more will take to the stage on Aug 31. Tickets from $205 are available on Ticketmaster.
