\n\tRunning through May 25, 2026, the exhibit offers fans and visitors a deeper look at aspects behind Taemin\u2019s famous stage presence. On display are two distinctive performance looks: the striking red-and-black outfit he wore throughout his Ephemeral Gaze World Tour, as well as the all-white ensemble he wore during his Veil concert and live on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2025. Accompanying the garments include Taemin\u2019s customized in-ear monitors and white stage microphone, his official lightstick, and \u2014 perhaps most movingly \u2014 a handwritten note addressed directly to his fans.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEach performance is a story I share with my fans,\u201d Taemin shares in a statement. \u201cThese outfits and artifacts hold memories of those moments on stage. I hope visitors can feel the passion and love for music that has guided my journey. I\u2019m truly honored to have my stage outfits displayed at the Grammy Museum.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat journey began in 2008 when a then-14-year-old Lee Taemin debuted as part of SM Entertainment\u2019s vocal quintet SHINee, quickly distinguishing himself as a singer and dancer of rare technical command despite such a young start. SHINee was one of K-pop\u2019s first pioneers on the Billboard charts, sending their single \u201cLucifer\u201d to No. 3 on the World Digital Song Sales chart<\/a>, setting a new peak on the chart for Korean acts at the time. SHINee has since sent 36 entries to the chart, including 23 Top 10 hits, alongside a dozen entries on the World Albums<\/a> chart, two of which reached No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaemin debuted as a soloist in 2014 with the release of Ace, his first of seven solo entries on World Albums. He\u2019s also earned 15 hits on World Digital Song Sales so far, with last year\u2019s \u201cVeil\u201d reaching No. 3 on the chart, matching his previous career high with \u201cPress Your Number\u201d<\/a> from 2016. Taemin is also a member of the all-star K-pop group SuperM<\/a>, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> with their self-titled debut EP. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTaemin is a truly influential artist whose impact extends far beyond the stage,\u201d said Grammy Museum curator Kelsey Goelz. \u201cHis distinctive performances, innovative style and artistic vision have helped shape the global<\/a> rise of K-pop. We\u2019re honored to showcase these iconic stage outfits and artifacts that celebrate his artistry and cultural impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter last year\u2019s Ephemeral Gaze World Tour<\/a> \u2014 which included sold-out dates in the U.S., Latin America, and Europe \u2014 Taemin kicked off his 2026 with a sold-out headlining concert at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas in January, before he signed with his new label Galaxy Corporation, the same agency that represents fellow K-pop icon G-Dragon. It all comes before Taemin performs at Coachella<\/a> 2026 in his first major U.S. festival appearance.<\/p>\n
