The youngest member of the K-pop boy band SHINee, Lee Taemin, one of the most recognisable K-pop idols in the world, has returned with a new solo album and presented it to the audience through a new and elegant MV called "Сriminal".
The clip is filled with Taemin's sensual and charming vocals, which altogether provide dark renaissance aesthetics and an incredible impression, proving Taemin's professional and unique performance and image. The lyrics depict the feeling of being attracted to someone as Stockholm syndrome.
The nine other songs from the album, which has already been released on various music platforms, reveal Taemin's multifaceted talents.
The release was long-awaited by fans, after 1.5 years since the last Korean mini-album “Want”. The MV, filled with symbolism and carnal vibes, immediately captured the top of the trends on Twitter.
