Taemin Agency BPM Denies Rumors About SHINee Activities, Vows Legal Action
Taemin’s agency, Big Planet Made, has announced its intention to take legal action against false rumors circulating online regarding Taemin’s involvement in SHINee’s activities. On January 15, the agency released a statement via Taemin’s official social media, addressing concerns raised by posts on certain online communities and social media platforms.
Taemin Agency BPM’s Statement
Big Planet Made stated, “We are aware of the concerns expressed due to posts about Taemin’s SHINee activities on some online communities and social media. However, all recent posts contain clear falsehoods. We plan to respond strongly to these false claims.” The agency emphasized its support for Taemin’s activities as a member of SHINee, adding, “We will spare no effort to ensure that Taemin receives fair treatment and continues his activities as both a solo artist and a member of SHINee.”

Background and Fan Reactions
The controversy arose after Taemin did not attend SM Entertainment’s 30th-anniversary concert, “SMTOWN LIVE 2025,” held on January 11-12 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. While SHINee members Key and Minho performed solo stages at the event, Taemin and Onew—both of whom have moved to new agencies—were absent. Speculation emerged blaming Taemin’s current agency for his absence, though no similar criticism was directed toward Onew.
In response to the rumors, fans debated whether the allegations were an attempt to tarnish Taemin’s reputation. On January 13, Taemin reassured fans via a communication platform, saying, “My affection for SHINee remains unchanged.”
Agency’s Commitment
Big Planet Made reiterated its commitment to supporting Taemin’s growth as an artist, stating, “We will continue to protect and support Taemin so that he can shine as both a solo artist and a member of SHINee.” The agency also expressed gratitude to fans for their ongoing love and interest in Taemin.
As the situation unfolds, fans are closely watching how these allegations will be addressed and whether they will impact Taemin’s future activities with SHINee.
