I'm back from my overseas promotions. Yeah yeah yeah. And, uh, thank you for waiting for me and supporting me, and, you know.
It's been two months-- Wow, yes..--since I've been gone Japan tour and I'm so glad to be back. I almost forgot what you looked like.
I'd already forgotten.
You got tanned!
I did, I went, I went, I had a time with family at the beach, so--well anyways, that's for later.
We're going to talk about your overseas adventures in a little bit, but for now, we have a very, very special guest, don't we?
Yes, he debuted at a young age of 16

Yes, he debuted at a young age of 16 as a Manga of Chini and now he's doing solo promotions and gathering lots and love and support from fans. It is the one and only Taemin? Whoa, what's up dao? Haee! Welcome, welcome, welcome. (Unknown word, Dao!). Let me see. He's up. He's here. (Foreign phrase) Whoa, Taemin, Taemin. Alright, so Taemin is here with us back in the studio, but unfortunately he's an incredibly - incredibly busy man so we have a short, short 30 minutes with him today. (Japanese) Thank you so much. Thank you for fitting us in your tight schedule. We'll make sure to make the next 30 minutes as best as an hour so look forward to our show today. Alright, very good.

Wooo, alright!
Welcome everybody to A.S.C.
(Taemin speaks in Korean)
Alright! Don't forget to say hello to our live audience in the back.
Hello, hello! Say hi to Taemin, guys!
Alright, so as we said before, you already had your first music show wins as a solo artist -wow!- and your fellow member Min-ho personally gave you a trophy - uun!- at one of the wins, and of course it got us all very emotional. But we gotta ask: what did your other members say?
(Taemin speaks in Korean)
Alright, so that must be nice.
And also, we all know Taemin as the cute [korean word] of SHINee. He's all very, you know, bubbly and cute and all that, but this time he's cute anymore. -Ah, okay- He's a man.
He's... it's... yeah, he became a man.
He became a manly man! Yes, hahaha.
(Taemin speaks in Korean)
And as you can see in the music video, you can see, like, he's showing some skin. -Yeah-
(Taemin speaks in Korean)

Are you working out?

(speaking Korean)

Alright, so of course on these programs there's very little time at the end to say all the thank yous so we want to give this opportunity for Taemin to say all the thank yous to people that he didn't get a chance to say thank you to.

(speaking Korean)

So many

(speaking Korean)

Okay! Very good! Alright! There you have it! There's people he forgot to mention. (unintelligible) go ahead. You guys if you haven't done so already, send your messages for Taemin, uh, but you guys that already did, I think we're going to check them out right now. Let's go!

But before we go on with our hangout session, we need decide on our selca *mumbles???* pose, so tell me what pose you will be doing?

Yes, hashtag TaeminASC and hashtag SelcaASC, come and please join us in right now.

Alright, so we gotta ask Taemin when did you start preparing for your solo?

(Korean)

And one of the things people have been mentioning uh the most about you, is your talented vocals. What did you do to practice and work on your vocal skills?

(Korean)

Yeah, especially when you're in a group you have parts and you have time to rest, but as a solo artist you're singing, you know, the whole song by yourself so it must be uhm a lot of hard work.

(Korean)

...favorite song in this new album?

(Korean)

Alright, what is the most memorable moment from your solo debut?

(Korean)

Like personally

(Korean)

Allright so we have a surprise event for [unintelligible] Taemi will be singing a song for just one lucky fan.
Allright

Yep
Of you tweeter.
So yes, we'll be selecting one person, no, Temi will be selecting one person to a sing a song to. So we'll get back to that event in just, just a few moments, but before that we're gonna go ahead and meet people on our hangout. Ok. Hangouts.

Okay don't. You don't freak out
Don't freak out just yet
Okay let's go ahead. Do you have any questions for Taemi?
Huh yeah, I wanted to know since he's been a part of Chini for so long, what's his favorite part about being solo?

(Korean)

So he says that it's the fact that he can show himself, you know when you're part of Chini or a group, you're acting as a group, but being able to show parts and glimpses of himself as a person, I think that's what he's saying is the coolest part about it. Yes.

Alright and Noor, do you have any requests for Taemi?

Um, yeah, this is, I'm really shy to do this, but can we just start, give me an airkiss

(laugh)
(korean)

Well, Noor, thanks for hanging out with us. Please say by to Taemi. Taemi's just - he's - he's embarrassed. Alright, bye.

Hi.

You're calling from France.

I was just in France.

Bonjour.

I'm Anais from Paris.

I heard you prepared something for Taemin today. What is it?

Anais: Yeah, I- I'm gonna sing a bit more of [unintelligable- or Korean? Can't tell]

Mm, alright.
[Korean]
Alright, he's excited!
He can't wait for it!
Let's hear it!
[Korean]

A: Can I go now?
Yup!
A: Okay...

A: (singing) I want to be your only! [Korean] Baby what you want! [Korean]

Woow!!
[Korean]
He's says you're really good, you have really great pronunciation!
Wow...

A: Oh, thank you!

So, did you have any questions for Taemin?

A: Yeah, I wanted to know what, uh... what is the hardest thing about him going solo? Without his members?

[Translating question to Korean, Taemin responds]
So he's saying the hardest thing is probably the pressure that he feels to do everything on his own, so... when you're in a group, you have other people to maybe take care- do roles such as taking care of other people, or filling in here and there, but he has to do everything alone, so... trying to cope with that difficulty and that pressure, I think, is his most difficult, trying part.

[Korean]
A: oh, okay.
[Korean]
He's doing very well anyways!
He's doing a great job.
He's doing well, so...
Alright!
Alright, well, thank you so much for hanging out with us all the way from France! Hope you had a good time hanging out with Taemin, we'll talk to you again soon! Bye! Au revoir!

Anais: Yeah, I- I'm gonna sing a bit more of [unintelligable- or Korean? Can't tell]

Mm, alright.
[Korean]
Alright, he's excited!
He can't wait for it!
Let's hear it!
[Korean]

A: Can I go now?
Yup!
A: Okay...

A: (singing) I want to be your only! [Korean] Baby what you want! [Korean]

Woow!!
[Korean]
He's says you're really good, you have really great pronunciation!
Wow...
