SHINee’s Taemin released his fifth solo EP, "Eternal," on Monday, showcasing a deeper maturity in his music. The album reflects his confidence as an artist, emphasizing his commitment to staying true to himself no matter where he is or what he does.

Taemin was heavily involved in every aspect of the album’s creation, from concept development to music video production, further solidifying his position as a multifaceted artist. The album features two lead tracks: "Sexy In The Air," which reaffirms his unwavering identity, and "Horizon," an energetic dance track that explores his desire to push artistic boundaries.

"I’m always thinking about what I should do next and what I can offer," Taemin shared, adding, "This album represents those thoughts and I feel like I’ve grown through this process." He hopes this album will be a stepping stone towards taking a more active role in his future projects.
