CECI Interview - Taemin

CECI: (You were) set out to make the first solo debut in SHINee. How satisfied are you with your mini album, ACE?
Taemin: Out of 10 points, I'd give 5

CECI: Isn't the points a little hard (on yourself)?
Taemin: Rather than setting my own expectations high, it's not about self confidence or problems with my aspiration, but because this is the first solo from SHINee, I didn't want to damage SHINee's name. It was difficult standing on the stage by myself.

CECI: For someone with a lot of passion, what would like to praise about yourself?
Taemin: I saw a new person in me that I myself didn't know about. First attempt at a urban hip hop style choreography, stage production, visual concept, everything was new. It feels like it opened up to trying other paths in the future and I feel great.

CECI: What were your hyungs response?
Taemin: They personally came to the music shows and helped to monitor, came to the music video set and confidently took care of me. Gave me love, support. I felt their hearts in supporting me and was really thankful. Even though I'm the first (to do a solo) in SHINee, it'll be good if this path is for SHINee.

CECI: How would you like to be remembered as?
Taemin: Even though I debuted as an idol, I don't want to be limited to that frame. I want to be remembered as a popular artist who can do various and wide genres

CECI: The people surrounding you are?
Taemin: Friends that I'm comfortable with? Really warmhearted people whom I can take as "my people". Like when we're catting in the SNS group chat room, we keep on talking to not end the conversation

CECI: It would be nice if you could give some tips on how to get personally close to you
Taemin: I don't know if it might be difficult to (laughs) Because I usually avoid strangers, it's hard for me to approach first. When someone approaches me first, on the contrary, I feel shy. I'm the type that a phrase like "Let's get close with each other" (still) isn't easy for me to open up my heart to. It either has to be people like SHINee hyungs who, together, went through a lot of difficulties and have chances to reveal (my) true intentions, or there has to be a chance where we can understand each other. I want to open up first. It's a character I don't know what to do with (/how to deal with)

CECI: What would you do to cheer up when you're exhausted?
Taemin: It'll be nice if I can feel (my) young mind sincerely. I'm an easy person that even patting my shoulders would cheer me up. While I was doing my solo activities alone, I felt a lot of pressure and stress but a simple "your album is good, cool" would become a big strength for me.

CECI: If you were give the chance to write a letter to you who are 10 years in the future?
Taemin: I hope to become a cool artist who displays music that has developed, and become someone who has progressed. I'd like to believe that I can achieve it by taking one step at a time from now till then.
