Taemin shares his memories of Jonghyun

SHINee's Taemin returned to the music scene on the 30th with his new work "Guity". This is not only his first mini-album after being discharged from the military, but also his first solo work in two years, much to the anticipation of many fans.

Recently, Taemin appeared on singer Lee Mujin's YouTube show "Lee Mujin Service" to promote his new album. He not only talked about his debut memories and journey, but also mentioned the late member Jonghyun, touching many fans.

Taemin revealed that during an open audition at SM Entertainment, he had prepared only for a dance performance, but was surprised to find out he had to sing as well. This sudden realization made him lose hope and say, "I probably won't pass," and, "I should just go home." However, he was able to regain his confidence and show his true self once it was time for the second audition category - dance.

Next, Taemin also revealed that he had a great deal of pressure as he barely had time to take vocal lessons after becoming a trainee and was already preparing to debut. Due to Taemin's voice changing period at that time, his limited vocal range once made him consider giving up his debut.

Taemin honestly said, at that time he thought he was not ready yet, so when he was preparing to debut, he even told his parents and the agency several times that he did not want to debut. Remembering all these past events, Taemin also laughed and said that in the end, he still got the help from his parents and the agency.
