Baekhyun And Taemin To Headline Their Own Solo Concerts In Las Vegas

2025 was a milestone year for both Baekhyun and Taemin’s touring careers with both superstars finally embarking on their first-ever world tours. Following the K-pop supestars’ premiere run of U.S. concerts boasting multiple sellouts, the guys are returning early next year for their first solo shows in Las Vegas during a double K-pop concert weekend at the Dolby Live at Park MGM. Breaking exclusively on Forbes first, Taemin and Baekhyun will each headline their own solo shows at Park MGM’s Dolby Live venue in Vegas on January 16 and January 17, 2026, respectively — a rare back-to-back pairing that spotlights two of K-pop’s most accomplished solo performers in one weekend. Taemin comes to Vegas after a busy year of touring that is still ongoing today. As an artist widely acknowledged for his theatrical solo work, Taemin launched his Veil Arena Tour in Japan on September, which continues in Chiba in late November and wraps in Hyogo in December before coming stateside. The Live [Veil] in Las Vegas show marks a rare opportunity for U.S. fans to see a concert that is likely only to be seen in Japan. This will also likely be Taemin’s final U.S. show before he returns for his performance at Coachella 2026 in April. Veil follows Taemin’s Ephemeral Gaze World Tour that ran from August 2024 until April 2025, and saw the SHINee star performing across Asia, North and South America, and Europe. Taemin previously visited and performed in Las Vegas as a part of SHINee back at the 2011 Billboard K-Pop Masters Concert that celebrated the first launch of Billboard Korea and the K-Pop Hot 100. SHINee performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena alongside names like TVXQ!, Brown Eyed Girls, Sistar and 4Minute with his 2026 return marking 15 years since the pioneering Korean-pop concert. Taemin’s Live [Veil] in Las Vegas begins at 9:00 p.m. local time on Friday, January 16. Baekhyun and Taemin’s shows both mark the first K-pop concerts taking place at Dolby Live at Park MGM, the current hot spot for Bruno Mars and Maroon 5’s residencies after previously hosting multiyear headliners like Cher, Aerosmith, Usher, Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga and more. In the past, the venue has also partnered with artists like Imagine Dragons for private concerts in ultra-immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound. Tickets and onsale details will be announced later for the double-header K-pop concert weekend in Las Vegas featuring Baekhyun and Taemin at Park MGM’s Dolby Live. For now, get a closer look at the two show’s exclusive posters and stay tuned for more.

This is a gorgeous song. I mean, this is objectively so pretty. The orchestral bits combined with his voice? It's also kind of spooky, and I'm all about that right now. So we're very good.

JUNHEE!! MY MAN!!!

In case you missed his cover of Your Idol and as an added plea for you to listen to his amazing debut album that's all in English, I'll also be dropping that down below. I included it in this review, but as much as I'd love to have you read my review, I'd rather just convince you to listen to the album, so I'm putting that as a gift and sort of a bribe for you to give him a chance.

"I could spend this entire paragraph talking about why the costuming choices for him were excellent (spoilers: he's got like four of them and they're all so amazingly attractive on him. The only one missing from the Traditionally Hot From The Female Gaze list is Soft Professor). So please pretend that I just did that because I don't want to spend the entire paragraph talking about how attractive he is, though I could, and would rather talk about things like the acting! Y'all, we have an actual music video with acting from him as well as a storyline. Could not be happier. He's being a loser who has fallen head over heels at first sight."
