Taemin’s stunning special video released ahead of his birthday; #Taeminsbirthday takes over Twitter hashtags

On July 17, SHINee released a new performance video for one of his B-sides ‘Just Me and You’ from the 2020 album ‘Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1- The 3rd Album’. This was released a day before Taemin’s birthday and his fans were absolutely in love with it! Since Taemin is currently serving his mandatory military service, the fans were a little disappointed that they could not get together and celebrate his birthday through V-live, which became a tradition for them. But this unexpected video release really made the fans happy to see him on screen again. 

Twitter hashtags are flooded with everything related to Taemin’s birthday as fans wish him and recap all the amazing feats done by him. Many made him sweet and aesthetically pleasing cakes and savoury treats as well. One said, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Missing ur smile, laugh, cuteness, voice, giggle, wink, & evil. EVERYDAY IS TAEMIN'S DAY".

Many fans were reacting to fellow SHINee member Kibum’s post for Taemin’s birthday. Known to be an extremely hilarious, sassy, and confident person, SHAWOLS (SHINee’s fandom) were not at all surprised at Key’s way of wishing Taemin on his birthday. He posted his selfie and wrote ‘Happy Birthday Taemin'.
