MAHIGIT isang taon simula nang puma­naw ang miyembro ng SHINee na si Kim Jong-hyun, patuloy pa rin siyang naaalala ng mga natitirang apat na members na sina Onew, Key, Minho and Taemin.

Sa recent interview kay Taemin para sa kanyang second mini-album na Want, ayon sa singer ay madalas pa rin daw niyang na­aalala ang kagrupo.

“I feel (the empty space) from every so often. It comes to me all of a sudden,” pa­hayag ni Taemin as reported by Koreaboo.

Aniya ay naka-recover naman na siya pero may mga oras lang daw talaga na pumapasok pa rin sa isip niya ang kaibigan.

“I’m okay most of the time but still, it comes to my mind from time to time.”

Matatandaang pumanaw si Jonghyun noong Dec. 18, 2017 by taking his own life na talaga namang ikinagimbal ng lahat.

Last year was the hardest time for the remaining members dahil kahit ma­sakit, kailangan nilang magpatuloy nang wala si Jonghyun.

“Last year, SHINee released 3 albums. I think we thought (of him) more during those times. We thought, ‘Let’s show them rather than hide it.’ We talked amongst each other that we should act the same way and hoped that people would treat us the same way too,” pahayag pa ni Taemin.

Sa ngayon ay pahinga muna ang SHINee as a group dahil na rin sa pagpasok sa military ng leader nilang si Onew last December. Susunod na rin si Key on March 4, gayundin si Minho who plans to enlist this year.

Si Taemin na siyang pinakabata sa grupo na lang ang matitira kaya naman sa ngayon ay solo artist muna siya.

“As I’m making my solo comeback for the first time in a very long time, I would like to pour [all of my energy] into [promotions] and show many different things. If I release another album besides this upcoming album, I would like to reveal a new side of myself. I also have plans to hold a concert. It will hap­pen sometime this year,” saad pa ni Taemin.
