Group SHINee member Taemin was swept up in unexpected plastic surgery rumors, but he dismissed them by quickly posting a selfie.
Recently, a screen capture of Taemin from a video uploaded to Amazon Music's official account spread widely on social media and online communities. In the released photo, Taemin's facial features appeared subtly changed in feel and atmosphere, sparking the plastic surgery rumors.
Some of the netizens who saw it reacted, "Is that the Taemin I knew?", "The nose line is totally different", "The vibe also feels changed", "I can't recognize him."
However, some argued, "I think it's just because of the lighting or angle", "It's just a difference between a front view and a side view; I don't think it's a big change", "There were plastic surgery rumors before, but later he looked the same" and other opinions also appeared.
Also, in a recently released YouTube video, Taemin's face did not look markedly different from his previous appearance, so responses are emerging that excessive suspicion should be avoided.
Perhaps conscious of the reactions, on the 29th Taemin posted several photos on his personal social media with the caption HOME SWEET HOME, dismissing the plastic surgery rumors. The photos of Taemin's daily life drew attention for a visual that was not markedly different from before.
Meanwhile, Taemin recently signed an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation, which includes G-Dragon, Song Kang-ho, and Kim Jong Kook among its artists, and will perform on the stage of the United States' largest music festival, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held at the Sahara in Indio, California, on Apr. 11 and 18.
In addition, from May 29 to 31, he will hold "- The Trilogy I - 2026 SHINee WORLD VIII : [THE INVERT]" at the KSPO Dome in Seoul Olympic Park.
