SHINee’s Taemin Apologizes for Lighthearted Earthquake Remarks During Japan Live Broadcast



SHINee Taemin apologized for his remarks on the earthquake in Japan,

On the 6th, Taemin "I apologize for talking about the earthquake rashly because I wanted to reassure my worried fans. I'm reflecting on the fact that I didn't fully consider the situation of people in the area or the risk of natural disasters and said it lightly," he said.

Then "I was also very worried and I'm glad that it went by without much damage. From now on, I will be a person who thinks more carefully and speaks. Thank you.," he added.




Taemin was on a live broadcast with Minho in Japan on the 5th when the story of the earthquake came out "It's still safe, so don't worry." What if I get shaken while singing because I'm Power N?' I imagined this. Will it be cool if I shake while singing here. Firecrackers are exploding and the fire is coming out, and I was worried about what if it shakes."

Meanwhile, Taemin will go on a Japanese arena tour in September.

Hello, I'm Taemin.

I apologize for talking about the earthquake rashly because I wanted to reassure my worried fans. I am reflecting on the fact that I did not fully consider the situation of people in the area or the risk of natural disasters and said it lightly.

I was also very worried and I'm glad that it passed without much damage. From now on, I will be a person who thinks more carefully and speaks. Thank you.
