SHINee Member Facts

Great People

Stage Name: TaeMin

Real name: Lee TaeMin (이태민)

Birthday: 18th July 1993

Height: 179cm (used to be 175)

Blood type: B

Position: Main Dancer

Taemin started dancing since he was 12, as he always see his seniors like BoA, Shinhwa and H.O.T performing. His idol is Michael Jackson.

Taemin was a very smart kid. When he was 10, he joined a Maths competition (it was either a Seoul competition or a national one) and he got the Gold medal. Even after he debut with SHINee he didn't come to school much due to busy schedule, he came #3 on a science exam of his class.

Taemin used to be very self-conscious with his singing ability, as he didn't have much singing training when he debut. But now, his singing ability has improved very much and he has a very good voice now.

Taemin never cries when SHINee get their awards. I remember only saw him cry twice - once when SHINee just debut and he was asked about his family, he cried because he miss them, and the 2nd time is at SHINee's 1st concert in Seoul earlier this year, he didn't 'cry a river' but he did cry. He's a very strong kid right?
