SHINEE’s Taemin signed a new contract with Big Planet Made Entertainment on Monday, April 1, after the termination of his 16-year contract at SM Entertainment.
“We recently signed an exclusive contract with singer Taemin, who is unparalleled in his activities both as SHINee’s main dancer and as a solo artist,” Big Planet Made Entertainment said in a statement translated via Soompi.
Taemin’s new agency would solely focus on his solo career as SM Entertainment earlier confirmed managing SHINEE’s group activities.
“We will actively support Taemin’s wide range of activities in his music career, and we will do our utmost so that he can soar in broader places and in a variety of directions. We ask that you give lots of support and love to Taemin as he makes a new start,” Big Planet Made Entertainment added.
Taemin debuted with the K-pop boy group SHINEE in 2008 with the iconic song “Replay,” and has released hit tracks like "Juliette," "Ring Ding Dong," "Everybody," and "Sherlock.”
He made his solo debut in 2014 and has been known for his tracks “Danger,” “Criminal,” and “Idea.”
