(180627) @ Twitter Blueroom LIVE Key: Suddenly Taemin is baby cheese? What are they talking about? Taemin: They say it's my nickname these days, that I'm "baby cheese" Key: Why? Taemin: Don't know too well either Minho: It must be from our reality show Taemin: When Minho hyung talked about it Minho: Said he bought baby cheese. You like baby cheese! Taemin: I like actual cheese, not baby cheese Minho: Because you're a baby, so baby cheese Taemin: ... Minho : ...I'm sorry Taemin: I have wrinkles in my eyes these days Key: No, no, no, he doesn't Onew: what kind of cheese do you like? Taemin: The kind you'd eat (with liquor) when you drink? Or with grapes or sweet fruits? Key: Blue cheese Taemin: Blue cheese is too strong though Key: Gouda cheese Taemin: That's right the foul (smelling/tasting) ones

(180610) @ Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook Yoo Hee Yeol: These days there are various idol style greetings, what's SHINee’s style? Key: Originally "hello weare contemporary band shining SHINee” but it's too long so we skip 'contemporary band' part Yoo Hee Yeol: (makes SHINee do the original greeting) let's make a new descriptor for SHINee in greeting Minho: Shining and SHINee so well-suited, I wanna say "still shining SHINee” Yoo Hee Yeol: “Hello we are still shining SHINee” Minho: (laughs) Yoo Hee Yeol: Why are you laughing alone? Key: Embarrassing? Taemin: I thought about a descriptor. For Minho hyung he’s flame charisma Minho so change it to “hello I’m wairi Minho” Yoo Hee Yeol: What’s that? Taemin: Wa iri Minho~ Key: He likes such so much these days Taemin: Aigoo I’m in trouble please edit it ^^;; Minho: We did it jokingly, didn’t know Taemin would say it here Key: Not planned Yoo Hee Yeol: How did you change so much? Taemin: I used to be very introverted, shy, very careful in speaking. There’s no place I can take out what’s stuffy inside so I started saying things bit by bit and felt so relieved. “Ah I’ll say something on broadcasting” and it was ok so I got to speak out what’s in my mind and do it in a more fun way for myself like “enjoy rather than be careful” Yoo Hee Yeol: Maknae looks good now, Taemin started living for himself finally Taemin: I wish... we’re happy doing what we do and hope other people will feel happier seeing us and we feel happier seeing them, hope it’s mutual like that, the world is like that Yoo Hee Yeol: Good for SHINee to shine singing on stage, but I wish SHINee members smiling happy, be happy together for a long time

Marie Claire June 2018 Q: Your first memory as SHINee? Taemin: I looked up our name on Internet search, it was so surreal and we couldn’t believe it. I was proud to see our profile picture on portal site. We eat, go to schedule and sleep together, even when we were tired and happy we were together.

(180701) @ Yeouido Fan: When asked what fans mean to you a few years ago, you said they are endorphin. Do you still think so? Or something new? Taemin: Right, they are endorphin! And these days a companion? Ah, that word (t/n: “dongmoo" in Korean) sounds strange 6v6 Fan: Friends? Taemin: Yes friends!

(180618) @ Youngstreet Radio DJ asked if Taemin could choose his colour what would it be, Taemin chose light purple and said he just likes pastel colours.
