Taemin Joins G-Dragon's Agency

Taemin of the group SHINee has signed an exclusive contract with AI entertainment tech company Galaxy Corporation. Galaxy Corporation announced that they will create synergy by combining Taemin's artistic capabilities with their cutting-edge technology. Galaxy Corporation produced 'Physical: 100' and has expanded its lineup with the addition of Taemin, alongside G-Dragon, Song Kang-ho, and Kim Jong-kook. After his contract with SM Entertainment ended, Taemin was active with Big Planet Made Entertainment, but terminated that contract after approximately 1 year and 10 months and has now moved to Galaxy Corporation.

Taemin debuted with SHINee in 2008 and has established a unique artistic identity as a solo artist since 2014 with songs like 'Move', 'Criminal', and 'Advice'. He recently successfully held his first solo world tour 'Ephemeral Gaze' and is scheduled to perform at the Coachella Festival in April, making him the first Korean male solo artist to do so.

BIGBANG will participate in the 2026 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival to commemorate their 20th anniversary. This performance comes after their planned appearance in 2020 was canceled due to COVID-19. BIGBANG plans to showcase a global performance that encapsulates their 20-year musical journey at this Coachella stage.

Meanwhile, there have been several recent issues in the entertainment industry. Ju Haknyeon, a former member of the boy group THE BOYZ, was embroiled in controversy over a private meeting with Japanese AV actress Asuka Kirara, leading to his departure from the group and contract termination. Additionally, producer MC Mong was excluded from his work. Actress Nana shared her recent activities while promoting the movie 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint', and Suzy showcased her elegant charm by revealing her ballet attire.

Kim Go-eun, a former Miss Korea, was rumored to be appearing on the Netflix reality show 'Single's Inferno 5', but Netflix stated they could not confirm the information. Furthermore, dating rumors between SHINee's Taemin and dancer No:ze have surfaced, with their agencies stating they are currently verifying the facts. IU and Kim Seon-ho attended the VIP premiere of the movie 'The Moon' to support actor Park Hae-joon.
