Will SHINee member Taemin leave SM Entertainment (hereinafter SM)?

An official from Big Planet Made Entertainment (hereinafter Big Planet Made) stated to Star News on the 5th, "(Regarding Taemin's exclusive contract) No decision has been made."

On this day, one media outlet reported that Taemin will leave SM Entertainment, where he has been for 16 years, after his exclusive contract expires at the end of this month and move to Big Planet Made. Besides Taemin, there have been mentions of Onew's contract with SM expiring as well. Hence, attention is being drawn to the future plans of these two individuals.

Meanwhile, Taemin debuted with SHINee in 2008 and has been active as a solo male artist as well. Particularly as a solo artist, he has presented songs like 'Move', 'Want', and 'Guilty', earning him the nickname 'Reverse SolNam' (a legendary male solo artist).
