SHINee's Taemin has shared his recent whereabouts with fans since his military discharge. On the 4th, Taemin held a live broadcast to interact with fans in real-time, just after completing his social service worker duties.

"I've come to see you all after such a long time. I'm really nervous," Taemin greeted his fans, adding, "I thought it would be great to have a place to communicate with you all as soon as possible, so I came right after my discharge."

Taemin continued, "I may not have changed much, but please give me lots of love. I've missed your love. Of course, I know you all love and support me, but I really wanted to communicate like this. I've missed you so much."

Regarding his military service, Taemin shared, "It was a time for me to reflect on myself. I remembered the glorious times I spent with my fans and my past self. I thought about how valuable my life has been."

Upon his discharge, Taemin appeared with a fuller face and revealed that he had gained 10kg during his military service. "I've gained a lot of weight, but I'm in the process of losing it. Although I'd like to show you my chubby self, I feel embarrassed and am working hard to manage it," he explained.

Taemin also admitted, "I've gained quite a bit of weight, right? That's why I've been using the V sign pose a lot when uploading selfies to cover up the extra weight. I've really gained a lot, but don't worry since I'm losing it. I think I worry more than anyone else," he added with a smile.

In his first appearance after two years, Taemin caught the attention of fans with his dyed hair. He showed off a natural brown color and a comfortable look with a brown knit sweater.

Meanwhile, Taemin will be meeting with fans at the '2023 TAEMIN FANMEETING 'RE: ACT'' held on the 22nd and 23rd at the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University in Seoul.
