On January 16, SHINee’s TAEMIN delivered an unforgettable solo debut at Las Vegas Dolby Live! The sold-out “Veil” concert stop capped off a successful tour that began four months ago in Kanagawa, Japan.
TAEMIN’s heavenly descent on a cross structure captivated attendees, and he opened the concert with “Heaven”.
TAEMIN’s vocals ascend powerfully from the introductory stage and never waver throughout the whole concert, despite delivering some of the most intense choreography from the next song until the new ballad at the encore. The following song, “Veil” (Japanese version), TAEMIN’s latest single and the title of the tour, featured intense choreography and showcased TAEMIN’s unique style of performance, which only TAEMIN can create.
TAEMIN’s storytelling is clearly seen with each performance that follows, such as the next intense performances of “Bones”, “Advice”, “Idea”, and “Shadow”. TAEMIN’s next stage begins in a cage, and the storyline takes on a darker conceptual tone with mesmerising performances of “Guess Who”, “Sexy In The Air”, and “Criminal”.
After conversing with the audience, TAEMIN introduces the next, “Exclusive.” The storyline conceptually intensifies with “Sexuality”, and climbs to new heights with TAEMIN’s unique performances of “Door”, “Guilty,” and “Flame of Love”.
The next segment included fan favourite “MOVE” along with “Want” and “Horizon”. Finally, the encore unveiled a new ballad and the first English song, “Long Way Home”. TAEMIN concluded with debut song, “Danger”, a performance of fan favourite “Press Your Number”, and a song written for his fans, “I Think It’s Love”, ending the momentous concert.
During his concluding commentary, TAEMIN related attending songwriting camps and writing a lot of songs, and that his new song is a new style, a newer version of himself.
Although TAEMIN’s new English ballad, “Long Way Home,” has not yet been released, proposed lyrics by fans are already available.
At the conclusion of TAEMIN’s concert, he shared a humble note of wanting to give more love and promising to do his best for his Coachella debut, as fans called the night life-changing and non-fans praised his raw artistry (as below screenshots of fans and non-fans noted on social media platform X).
