We do not speak about how talented Taemin is nearly enough. Yes he’s a phenomenal dancer that’s on a completely different level than everyone else but omg this man is so well rounded it’s insane. He is an amazing vocalist who has worked so hard to get to where he is. His stage

presence is impeccable and he never disappoints. He is an extremely eloquent speaker and it was one of the first things i noticed about him. He lives to perform, he is fascinating to watch because you know it’s where he belongs. He puts 200% into everything he does and he’s never

satisfied. He always wants to be better, do better. He debuted when he was 14, he has spent the majority of his life working everyday to improve and show the world what he’s capable of. Just when you think he can’t get any better, he proves that he is unpredictable. He never

wants to be complacent. He could have tried to keep putting out music similar to ‘Move’ because of how well received it was but instead he puts out something groundbreaking every time. He doesn’t follow a trend, he creates them. There is no one like him and there never will be!

It’s a huge deal that people unanimously agree that he is the MJ of kpop but he is so much more. He’s not the next MJ. He’s the one and only Lee Taemin. He doesn’t want to be like others, he wants to be the first him. He has inspired so many idols and the list of people that

wanted to become idols because of him is endless. People can try to discredit him or SHINee but the impact they left on the kpop industry cannot be argued. Idols to this day talk about how he and the other members are their role models. That is a heavy burden to carry

yet he takes it with so much poise and humility. He never wants to disappoint the people who look up to him. And though he was the youngest in his group for 12 years, he stepped up and became an amazing hyung for his younger superm members. They all look up to him

He has been in the industry for so long and he knows what he deserves. He improves and adds to the choreography because he knows what he is capable of and what can be better. Once again, he is never complacent, he always pushes himself to work harder and do more.

He is so wise for his years and yet people want to discredit his work, his impact, his talent, and so much more. Wins aren’t everything, sure they are nice but the music, the art itself is what matters. His artistry is out of this world, he takes pride in what he does.

He is more than just a meme, he is more than the posts that he trends on twt for every other week. He is an artist that cannot be compared to anyone else. He is so talented and intelligent. People don’t even realize that this man is studying music and film at university.

Watch any professional speak about him and they are amazed. He is on a different level, and that cannot be argued. He debuted in 3 generations of kpop and he is only 27. He doesn’t get the credit and respect that he deserves and it’s disheartening.

I’ll end this by saying that Lee Taemin is an artist that transcends all trends and boundaries. No one is doing it like him. SM doesn’t deserve him. He isn’t just their Ace, he is the Ace of Aces.
