During the talk, Taemin also shared that he hasn't had a break longer than a week since he debuted. He explained, "I've never spent the year-end with my family. It's been over 10 years." When asked about his Christmas memories, Taemin said, "It was the only day I was given a break but I drank too much on Christmas Eve so my day just ended like that."
