Taemin kicks off 'LiMiNaL' world tour in Seoul, Sept. 18–20
SHINee's Taemin kicks off his 2026–2027 'LiMiNaL' world tour with three nights at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, following the August 31 release of EP 'PHASE 1: Soft Violence'.
Three Seoul nights before a global run
Taemin takes the stage at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul on September 18, with two more shows through September 20. The three-night run launches a 2026–2027 tour that will hit North America, Latin America, and Europe. Rehearsal photos from September 11 caught him mic in hand, locked in prep mode.
The tour sits on PHASE 1: Soft Violence, an EP that dropped August 31. Pop and hip-hop production anchor the project, with several tracks co-written by Taemin himself.
Where 'LiMiNaL' goes next
After Seoul wraps, North America gets San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grande Prairie, Chicago, and Newark. Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Brazil follow. The tour closes in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
The catalog behind the tour
Taemin debuted with SHINee in 2008 on Replay (누난 너무 예뻐) as the group's youngest member and main dancer. His solo debut came in 2014 with ACE. Since then: MOVE, the Never Gonna Dance Again trilogy (Prologue / Act 1 / Act 2), Guilty, ETERNAL, and special single Veil. The Never Gonna Dance Again series moved 110,000 copies in its first week. He also dances, sings, and centers in SuperM.
On September 9, Taemin posted a video describing his downtime simply: "쇼츠 많이 보고 잠도 9시간 자" — watching Shorts and sleeping nine hours. (Fair.) His fanbase, TAEMate, has a full world tour ahead.
