SHINee Taemin has hit a new milestone as a Korean male solo artist by heating up the stage of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the largest music festival in the United States.

Taemin took to the Mojave stage in Indio, California at 7:30 p.m. on the 11th (local time) and performed alone for about 50 minutes. This is the first time a Korean male solo artist has been named in the official Coachella lineup and staged a solo stage.

The overwhelming power of this day's performance was a symbolic opening using "Sphere." The first section, which began with the production of breaking a spear in the shape of a giant egg, overwhelmed the audience by visualizing the message of "self-liberation" to escape the hardships and original sins forced by others. In this section, Taemin completed a narrative that was in perfect harmony with the backstage sphere, starting with "Sexy In The Air," followed by "WANT," and new songs "Permission" and "PARASE."

In particular, the new song "PARASITE", an English song, left a deep impression by throwing a topic about "hate" in modern society. Using the project beam, the translation of the translated lyrics and quoted phrases into Korean and shot them onto the stage stood out. The sensuous visuals of Hangul flowing over Taemin and the dancers' bodies effectively conveyed the essential message of the song beyond the language barrier.

In the middle of the performance, Taemin's signature stages "MOVE," "Guilty," and "Heaven" were placed to dominate the stage with a unique fatal dance line. Then, after presenting the stage with an unconventional new song "Frankenstein," he released explosive energy through "Advice" and "IDEA."

In the second half of the performance, "Let Me Be The One," "Sober" and "1004 (Oct. 4th)" were introduced in succession, showing an unusual move to release a total of six new songs at Coachella for the first time.

After finishing the stage, Taemin said through his agency, "I've been waiting for this moment on the Coachella stage for a long time," adding, "I'm very happy to share this time with so many people today, and I'll continue to repay you with better performances and music." He added, "I will cherish this moment for a long time today, and I hope it will be a good memory for you."

The heat of the scene was hot. The Mojave stage was crowded with tens of thousands of fans, and the audience realized Taemin's global influence with "ttechang" singing along to Korean lyrics. The on-site audience praised Taemin's stage video on social media such as Instagram, saying, "It is the peak of the artistic depth that a K-pop solo artist can show."

This stage was Taemin's first major global move after recently moving his agency to Galaxy Corporation.

Meanwhile, Taemin, who successfully finished his first week of performance, will once again meet global fans on the 18th (local time) on the second stage of Coachella.
