OMG. i din know this pic was him! cos rmb finding some cute SM trainee pics, and gahh i merely save it for fun, happy-viewing. since he was so cute.

least did i expect that this random pic i saved would turn out to be a member of SHINee
and he changed so much. he looks more mature, but still have this boyish/teenage look.

[chi♥]

gah i just realised that he has the same birthday as my mummy haha xD
i cant forget his birthday now for when he turns 15 and will be back to same age haha

i think he looks really hot in the wicked pic ( love that t-shirt!) and there he looks like hee chul a lot! but then in the other pics he looks nothing like him... and the mushroom haircut ... lets just say i wouldnt want him to keep that hairstyle leh, someone agrees with me on that right?

the two young pics are SO cute! would be soo cool if he was like that in the band now like literally a little kid in a band. everyone will be like awww! haha

last statement~his dancing is too good for you, your not ready. haha xD

[sweet_hk0206]

he has another noona fan!
he is so young! but so adorable
and in his predebut pics, he looks even younger!
the first pic of him is sweet
i love his style and his hair
and he seems more mature and older!!

[JAYumJUN.K_udonS...]

sharm!
for now, it would be taemin and jonghyun in my fave list.
Tae's dancing skill is awesome. This kid do have bones, right? lool
i heart his solo part in their MV. wahihihi he look like Heechul in that WICKED shirt and i think i'm getting used to his mushroom hairstyle

RUI that Taemin?| i thought it was Minho in the second pic!

[hyena♥hyuksu]

btw, is taemin the mushroom kinda hair style in the mv replay?
the one standing in the middle at the last part of the dance?
if tats him, he rili looks diff with the pics here.
ahaha, i'm his noona. one artist of sm which is younger den me.

[JAYumJUN.K_udonS...]

donghaelove
yup! taemin is the one with the Mushroom hairstyle, the one in the middle, the one with the skateboard and the boy in yellow, lol

=====
owh, thx for the info. Cos I kinda mix up with taemin and minho in the mv. They look almost the same with that mushroom kinda hair.
anyway, wads ur name?
pssh, I can see you lyk junsu too? =)

[hyuk_berry]

Taemin. haha i noticed him first.
cause he looks like Heechul.
but his dancing is awesome.
he looks like a little boy! of course..he is a little boy
i can't believe he's 14 makes me feel old
my favorite part in the MV is Taemin with his skateboard.
he's pretty tall too. well compared to me...

hi to valerie
aish. you got me into this group now.

[flowwie]

he looks like kim heechul!
whoa. hes only 14..... :OOO
wait...he's the one with the mushroom cut?
he looks different in the MV....

[★VxIahsu]

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO IS NOT TAEMIN'S NOONA?

Mnet Music Revolution


rui
the pic of the guy holding the basketball, it's minho, not taemin. i removed it.

CHI!!!
so you're born in the same year as taemin but still is his noona? in the 1st picture, he really does resemble heenim, but other than that picture, he looks perfectly taemin-ish. i can't think of any other hairstyle that would suit taemin at the moment other than the mushroom cut hair.

oli
i was SHOCKED when i saw that picture! firstly, if i have to rank the boys taemin would be the bottom2. i was thinking, wahh was taemin that cute and irresistable? but that picture didn't really affect his ranking on my list it just left me speechless. where did you find that picture anyway? yes he definitely looks more mature, but he's so bony did you see his hand? i swear he's suffering from malnutrition. why's so many people saying he looks like heenim? it's only in the 1st picture i posted that they look alike. only from that angle and it's partly because of the hair style too.

acoh
omo taemin and jonghyun? many new SHINee fans have both of them as their top2. the only thing that tae can attract me is his superb dancing skills. i'm amazed, for such a young boy like him. i wonder where they learn all these different styles of dancing though. this boy has great talent. but i don't think he can really sing cause i never hear his voice, only when rapping. i'm sure he has bones, just that they're soft he's way flexible.

noona by 9 months

flowwie
I know right? he totally looks like Heenim!
and his dancing is cute. i was totally surprised at how good he is.
yup he's the one with the mushroom haircut

Valerie
since..umm. 24 hours ago
their voices are really good. i'm surprised SM was able to find such awesome talent in such young boys. i mean seriously...Taemin..he's so young. aish..i'm 3 months short of a year older than him..i feel so old.
his dancing is cute. he's pretty smooth. i'd like to see him dance with Heechul oppa now

[★VxIahsu]

kat, how about noona about 2 years?><

donghaelove
i really do wonder where taemin learn his dancing from, he's so young, he must have started learning at about the age of 5 or something to be able to dance this standard. if not he's incredibly talented then. i've not heard taemin sing.

the two i recognized at first were Taemin and Jonghyun.
Taemin with his very famous mushroom hair and his amazing dancing skill. and oh, he is soo skinny! he should eat!
he look older for his age. don't you think?
btw you can call me acoh

sharm
do you really have to ask that?
i feel like Taemin's grandma. lol
i wonder at what age did he started dancing? he is just so good!
yeah, i also think he can't really sing. i only hear him in the chorus part.
it was like taemin was put in the group to lead the dance? the front act? lol
anyway i like his mushroom hair now. i love it how it moves when he dance

Taemin is the crowd's favorite! see their performance?
when he gets to the front everyone was screaming!
And their intro? the one when they talk? the fans were screaming when taemin spoke!

[.jaevia]

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO IS NOT TAEMIN'S NOONA?

im older than most of the members so dnt tlak abt it. saddens me!

im not really into taemin.he is cute somehow. but his haircut bothers me alot, i dont know why
i forgot how i found that picture, i think i was finding mini dbsk pics, and came out taemin picture instead! taein looks like heenim? i dont think so. both of them look rather different

[hyena♥hyuksu]

Kat :
Lols, beats me. 9 days older.
anyhow. it seems lyk everyone here is a noona of taemin.
Well, as you know, SM is a picky company, they only wan the best, so yea. there you go, 5 talented young boys.
why with heechul oppa? omo, it reminds me off heechul low class dance {in charice pempengco starking show}
lol! I've been chatting with you everywhere in AF!

Sharm :
Yea, mayb he's gifted with talent. I want to see him dance with all his seniors, eunhyuk,donghae,yunho,junsu. etc etc....
Well, you never know, he can do better then them. lol
Hmph, who knows taemin has nice voice?

acoh :
i know! his mushroom hair is off the hook! lols.
he's lyk the main character in the mv. everyone was lyk, hus tat mushroom hair guy??
Yeah, he rili looks older for his age... around 17+
but he is only 15!?! omg.....
yea, he is skinny. well, in the process of growing up ryte? plus with the works they will hav after debuting

[hyuk_berry]

Sharm
k 2 years is older than me
at least he's singing a song about how his noona is so pretty.
and he dances for her

Valerie
HAHA. we are talking everywhere on AF. haha funny
hmm. 9 months and 9 days. either way..we're both noona.
but he likes noonas no? i want to find out.
yeah i wonder how long he trained for since they said he was mainly found cause of his dancing skills...he must be pretty natural at it. you don't really get that good at such a young age even if he did start at 5 years old, he must be somewhat a natural dancer to be that good.
Haha i think it would be cute to see taemin dancing with heenim. cause it'll be like seeing the same person just different ages. and one of them really can't dance.

[ohmygodsun]

Acoh&Sharm
whoops! i remembered i edited that picture out after i posted since i copied the wrong url :X
i guess my crappy com had some issues :X

Sharm
i am like only older than him by 5months, so i think thats ok

Oli
ME TOOO! He's cute somehow, but i guess his haircut is .... :X
BAHH.
he looked much cuter with his other hairstyles like his pre-debut ones.
i hope he cuts his hair soon
I think it was to make a statement and get everyone to notice him. AHHAA. it did make everyone notice him :X

Is his puberty like over O_o
i guess his voice is since SM wouldnt allow him to debut if it was going to change O_o

[★VxIahsu]

from their 1st fan meeting after their debut performance.


acoh
it's alright, like i told oli they're just young, we aren't old. helps much? well if you think about it SM trainees train for about 3-4 years right? so if it's really true, taemin was recruited when he was merely 10 years old?!?! nah, i don't think so, i think maybe he was about 12 when he was a trainee. even gdragon oppa was 12 when he was the youngest rapper in YG entertainment. you can only heard him in the chorus part as the backup his voice not really of good quality eh but don't worry they have lots of time to improve. yup he's definitely their lead dancer or they would not keep him in the middle and front always, he even has his own solo part. well, i guess taemin and jonghyun are the most popular so far. but taemin doesn't appeal to me much.

oli
they're young, we're not old. keep that in mind^^ same, taemin didn't appeal to me at all, apart from his talent in dancing. other than that, he didn't leave an impression on me, at least not as much as jonghyun and minho oppas did. his haircut is weird, reminds me of hyukie in haengbok both have mushroom hair. taemin only looks like heenim in the picture in my topic start. other than that, absolutely no.

val
nah you can't compare his dancing with hyuk,hae,yunho and junsu oppas, cause their dancing styles are really different, they each have their OWN style. i don't think the other oppas can pull of taemin's dancing style, for once you got to be really flexible to dance his way. their dancing is more of the HOT style but taemin's dancing is neither hot not cute, undescribable how about middle?(: i've only heard taemin in the adlibs his voice sounds dreamy.

kat
the song is called noona is pretty cause i'm sure most of their fans will be older than them so they're directing towards the correct age group. dreaming of tae dancing for you?><

rui
still older lol sheesh i feel old now too, thank goodness key oppa is older than me. by one day lol or i'll really feel old. oh yea, is taemin your 2nd fav? since i think you mentioned key oppa is your fav? i bet his dancing attracted you right. there's one picture of him showing the side of him and his hands full length, dang it's so skinny and boneless. if the dream concert is not cancelled, we'll get to see more of SHINee i bet they'll have a special stage performance and tae will have his special solo too.

Kat :
I guess he lyks noona. Look at the title of their song!
''Noona you are very pretty" My fren was lyk.. Noona?????
hahahahhaa! I think Tae Min is a natural dancer... How nice....
Lols, yea, Heechul and Taemin, it will be nice to watch? I want to see him dance with his seniors too!
Eunhyuk, Junsu, Donghae, Yunho, Shindong..... etc etc...
Who noes he dances better then them.

Sharm :
What is Taemin's dance style anyway? It seems that he does poppin' ?
He is flexible. I love their dance moves in replay,
It look so smooth and not that complicated.
His voice sounds dreamy? Well, he has nice voice then..
I cant exactly know their voices YET. can you?

[★VxIahsu]

UFO Interview


val
what's the actual meaning of popping anyway? taemin's style, it's like half pop half RnB but it's so graceful so i think it's more towards RnB. He uses lots of whole body actions i wonder who choreographed their dance steps. It looks smooth and not complicated cause the boys are PRO at it! i can't tell apart their voices, not at all.

[Cooookies]

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO IS NOT TAEMIN'S NOONA?

im not his noona ! hes 1 year older then me. but i dont know if that is a good thing or not

anyways... im a new fan of SHINee(Tae Min), is a DBSK, BIG BANG, SS501 fan also.
i hope im welcomed here
i started to like Tae Min because i thought he looked like Heechul but hes very cute,
i like the picture of him with his bangs tied up. very adorable.

Hi welcome to Taemin's thread.

wow you're young. at least you can call taeminie "oppa"
we all have to settle for being called noona and he's dongsaeng.
We're all new fans of SHINee..seeing as they're pretty new themselves.
i thought that the picture with him and his bangs tied up was the one that totally looks like Heechul...haha that's why i noticed him too

Sharm
yeah they've directed the song at the right crowd. plus the noonas will see taemin and think he's a cute little boy.
the only thing that i worry about with him starting off so young, is that his face is bound to change..i mean..his voice might have matured enough but he still has a lot of growing up to do.
Haha well i'm a young noona i'm not too much older than him. sure he can dance for me to noona is so pretty

Valerie
seriously, most of taemin's fans are going to be noonas so he might as well make it clear that he's singing to them right?
yah this boy's fortunate..he's a natural dancer.
Ah Taemin may be good but he's not going to surpass the level of his Hyukjae hyung. But i would like to see them dance together. hyukie can give him tips and stuff.

[jesarang]

Hello Everyone! Hmm. Seems like the Mangnae in SHINee is the most popular?? LoL. Just a guess. x] I think he's pretty cute. I can't believe he's a 1993. So dang young. Hehe. My friend was like it's okay, you can be his Noona. Ahah. =P I wanted to share the gifs I found on Naver.^^

Wow. Look at this boy dance. xP Tae Min is a great dancer. ^^

Funny how everyone seems to be discussing about his age.
But yeah, he's almost 2 years younger than me...grr, trying really hard here not to be jealous.
Nevermind, he looks like a cute kid, I remember him from his trainee pics. Never thought that he'd debut this early.
He seems like a very good dancer as well.

[ohmygodsun]

Sharm
WHAT LAH! i am still young neh! Hahahha. Only Key is older than you O_o?!?! Umm, not really :X I dont like his hair that much ><
Jonghyun's my second fave :X hahahha! Taemin's cute though ^^ TAEHO<3 hahahah. His dancing is seriously =O, he has such a flexible body! ^^
but he's really freaking skinny! why do all hot guys have to be skinny! D: EAT MORE TAEMIN!
YEAH! i hope the dream concert wouldnt be cancelled either ):
SHINee needs more exposure

[JAYumJUN.K_udonS...]

crap..still discussing Taemin's age?
i feel so out

sharm
is Taemin the youngest SM artist?
i'm not familiar with the other SM artistes 14 is so young and knowing that Taemin is from SM, there would be loads of activities. lah, hectic schedules so i wonder if Tae's still in school?

val
Tae's still 14 man, he's really skinny yet so good when it comes to dancing

hello coookies
wow, great to have you here! glad there's someone younger than Taemin here

jesarang
i heart his solo part

[HaN yAe JiN]

Hi eveyone...^^ TaeMin is such a cutie~ Oh, i love his dancing!!! ^^ such a cute smile he has~ wow, he is only 14...how cute~ Does he have any sibilngs???? ^^

[Cooookies]

bisuhssi : thank you for the welcome hahaha, "tae min oppa" haha, ima call him that from now on xD... at first when i saw him, i thought he would be atleast 16/17 or so, but wow 14 thats pretty young :S lol, yeah that picture of him with his bangs up, really does remind me of Heechul, very good looking

RUI♥ : thank you for the welcome, haha >.< all noona?? haha hes only 1 year older then me but he totally looks olderr then 14 :S but hes very good looking

[Regina Rae]

HeeChul look alike <3

It really sucks that he is technically 2 years younger then me >:(
I feel so old.

[hyena♥hyuksu]

Kat :
Yea, ahaha.. well, i think loads of guys nowadays opt for older woman?
lol, cant believe Hyukjae had the chance to teach his small bros.. so cute, i wanna see!
taemin is so lucky that he had all his hyungs {yunho,junsu,hyujae,shindong,donghae,hangeng} to teach him more tactics and tips to dance.

acoh :
lol, we should stop the age topic. cos most of the members here are his noona. :
but i dun lyk his mushroom hair though. hahhahaha~ i dont know why, reminds me of small kids in pre school.

[JAYumJUN.K_udonS...]

val.
true true true
hahaha! get used to it! you'll see his mushroom hair more often.
don't you just love it how it moves when he's dancing?

Hahhaha! I'm only a noona to Tae Min
he's like 5mths younger ):
hahahah!

# Handy Boy Taemin (7/18/1993)
Has been dancing since his third grade in elementary school.

Decided being a singer was his dream from watching TV.

It was three years after he auditioned for SM that he debuted in SHINee.

Wants to be the best dancer.

I HEART HIS JACKET =O

[hyuk_berry]

His face alone has a lot of charisma. you can see a sparkle in his smile. he totally wants to be doing this. i'm so happy for him.

Cooookies
haha aw man. when you call taemin oppa i'm going to be like
i feel so old!!! but it's okay. he's singing to noonas so i'll feel a little better. watch in real life, he'll want a younger girl. but no. he's too young to think about girls. and now he's going to be a giant dancing idol. he'll just have to wait til he's older. i can imagine all the young girls fighting over him now.
when i first heard about the group i knew that one of them was 14. so i guessed that it was taemin..he looks the youngest. so does Onew which was really surprising to me that onew's the oldest
yeah he doesn't look too much like heechul with his hair down although heenim recently wears his hair like taemin's only longer.

Valerie
yeah what is up with that. cause girls usually like to go for older guys. but idk. some noonas are too old for taemin. he's too young.
i wonder if his seniors were really able to spend time with him and teach him how to dance more. kinda busy ne?..it would be nice to see them dance together.
he puts in a good name for kids who aspire to be dancers.

[★VxIahsu]

the thread that moves at the same pace as hyunnie oppa
here's a pic to all taemin fans.



kat
the noonas will think taemin is cute cause he has really chubby cheeks and huge eyes like the typical kind of cutie but he just doesn't appeal to me. His lips look kind of fake when he smiles, or maybe it's just me. but i'm not suprised if he had them done, it's so common now, so hard to find a korean artiste that doesn't have fake features. i doubt his face will change much anyway, you realise those korean ppl start of young but when they get older somehow their face doesn't change much. look at changmin from dbsk. can't compare the ft.island boys, it's still kind of early merely 1 year since debut. i wonder what their next new song will be called though. "hyung, you're so handsome?" haha taemin can do breakdance to wow the guy fans then

jesarang
i don't think taemin is the most popular though. I've browsed through various forums and the most popular spot seems to be between key and jonghyun. Probably because they make better first appearances with their looks. Since most of their fans are noonas, they probably think taemin is too young. Well, the boys were trainees for at least 3 years, so that means taemin was recruited when he was about 10+? that's way too young.

rui
no i meant, key is only a day older than me. haha. i'm only taemin's noona so the song applies to me only if he sings it to me, unfortunately his only lines in the song are hardly heard at all in the MV, and even when they sing live. i can't tell when he is singing when they perform live, cause his parts just seem to be pre-recoreded and played out, whereas jonghyun, key and onew vocals are definitely live. wah started a couple already, taeho? but i've seen only a taeho moment so far. it seems too early to have moments eh. maybe hot guys love to be skinny? maybe it's the new trend since the boys are supposed to lead the latest generation.

acoh
i don't think taemin's the youngest SM artist. since he trained for at least 3 years, he was probably reccruited when he was about the age of then. that's super young already right! If SM recruits people at the age of 10, i'm sure they would have even younger ones. They really get fresh and young talents. or is your question "is taemin the youngest SM DEBUTED artiste"? If it is, then yes he's the youngest DEBUTED artiste in SM so far. I'm sure taemin is still at school, the SNSD girls still have to attend school, and so did kyuhyun from SJ so i think the boys are most likely schooling at the same time too. I wonder where they find the time to study and practise and the same time though. They should be really worn out by the end of the day.
