Taemin, a member of the K-pop group SHINee and a solo singer, has signed with Galaxy Corporation.
Galaxy Corporation said on the 11th that it has signed an exclusive contract with Taemin, adding that it will provide full support so his “unrivaled artistic capabilities” can create synergy with the company’s cutting-edge technology.
Galaxy Corporation, which describes itself as South Korea’s first AI entertainment-technology company, develops “entertech” businesses that combine entertainment content with technologies such as AI and robotics. The company said the signing reflects a strategy to create added value by merging artists’ intellectual property with digital technology.
With the move, Taemin joins a roster that includes singer G-DRAGON, actor Song Kang-ho and broadcaster Kim Jong-kook.
Taemin debuted in 2008 as a member of SHINee, releasing hits including “Replay,” “Ring Ding Dong” and “View.” After making his solo debut in 2014, he released songs such as “Danger,” “Move” and “Want,” establishing himself as a solo artist known for performance.
In August 2024, he launched his first solo world tour, “Ephemeral Gaze,” starting at Inspire Arena in Incheon, and held 37 shows across 20 countries in Asia, the United States and Europe.
He is set to perform April 11 and 18 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, becoming the first South Korean male solo singer to take the stage at the festival.
