He also surprised the crowd with nostalgic SHINee tracks, including “Replay,” “Lucifer,” and “Ring Ding Dong.”
For the encore, Taemin performed “Danger” and “Crush,” further energizing the audience. The night was filled with heartfelt interactions as Taemin spoke directly to his Filipino fans. He warmly said, “I missed you all,” and later expressed gratitude, “Thank you for waiting for me. Mahal kita.” One special moment saw Taemin encouraging fans to sing along to “Pancy” with him, creating an intimate connection that resonated deeply.
As both a member of SHINee and a successful solo artist, Taemin continues to prove his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. Beyond his powerful dance moves and captivating vocals, his humility and love for his fans shined throughout the concert.
