born to shine

Translation: @lyusul_

Hello. This is SHINee Taemin.

To be honest, at first I didn’t have much confidence about doing a stage. However, I wanted to keep the promise we made with our fans and did not want to part with SHINee members in the coming future.

Looking back at the times I felt most at ease and happy, they were all when I was with the members…and fans, and I came to hold even more affection for the name “SHINee” and our team members and I didn’t want to give them up even more.

I know that the coming future will definitely not be easy but we will try best to let the name “SHINee” shine for a longer time without fading, to not be forgotten.

I am so thankful for our members and you (fans), who made such beautiful memories for me, and I want to treasure the memories preciously for a long time.

And we want to keep being loved as SHINee and show us confidently rising from our sorrow and getting up on stage to our member watching from the sky.

We are greatly sorry for worrying you, and please keep watching (supportively) what we will do. Look after your health as it’s cold, and happy new year.
