Group SHINee member and solo artist Taemin has unveiled concept photos for his special digital single "Veil."
His agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, released concept photos titled DRY and PLASTIC on their official social media on the 8th and 9th, visually conveying the narrative to be captured in the new song.
In the first revealed DRY version, Taemin is silhouetted against backlighting, creating a heavy yet intense atmosphere, evoking curiosity about the story to unfold. The reflection of Taemin's face in a cracked mirror leaves a strong impression with sharp eyes and a cool aura. In the final shot, dressed in a tailored suit and gazing directly at the camera against a dark background, Taemin's restrained charisma is palpable.
In the PLASTIC version, released the next day, Taemin's mysterious and cold demeanor is captured under blue-toned lighting. Another photo features him leaning against a streetlight with a peculiar expression. Taemin's appearance, cold yet alluring, generates increasing curiosity about the narrative to be showcased in this special digital single "Veil."
Taemin's special digital single "Veil" contains lyrics that express a confession of inner turmoil alternating between desire and fear, raising expectations for the unique charm he will exhibit to captivate fans, as he has consistently presented bold and experimental musical realms.
Along with the single release, Taemin will hold the "2025 TAEMIN ARENA TOUR 'Veil'" in Japan. This tour will kick off at the Kanagawa PIA Arena from the 13th to the 15th, and will continue through five cities in Japan with a total of 11 performances, including Saga on September 20th-21st, Shizuoka on October 4th-5th, Chiba on November 29th-30th, and Hyogo on December 24th-25th.
In particular, this Japan arena tour "Veil" is themed around "the hypocrisy and taboos hidden behind the veil," expected to maximize Taemin's unique artistry and performance, delivering a powerful immersion and overwhelming stage experience for the audience.
