Taemin drops 'LiMiNaL' world tour poster, new album 'PHASE 1 : SOFT VIOLENCE' due Aug 31

On August 4, Taemin posted the main poster for 2026-27 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR in SEOUL. His agency framed it as the start of a large-scale global run.

The Seoul dates are September 18–20 at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium. The 18th kicks off at 8 PM, the 19th at 6 PM, the 20th at 5 PM. Tickets sell exclusively through YES24. Official membership presale opens August 10 at 8 PM, with general sale following August 11 at 8 PM.

PHASE 1 : SOFT VIOLENCE drops August 31 at 6 PM — before the tour even launches. Seoul is just the beginning. The LiMiNaL run then heads through major cities in North and South America.

Stage design comes from ANDO PROJEKT, led by Ahn Do-hyun, who previously worked as a space designer at Gentle Monster. Galaxy Corporation said the aim is for "Taemin's sensual music world and ANDO PROJEKT's avant-garde and artistic space design" to create "an innovative stage never seen before."

This marks his first large-scale tour under his new label. Taemin ended his contract with Big Planet Made Entertainment and signed with Galaxy Corporation in March — the same agency that represents G-Dragon. He entered the run with festival momentum already in place. Coachella and BST Hyde Park both wrapped earlier this year.
