Taemin, a member of the group SHINee and solo singer, has decided to postpone his North America tour schedule.

On the 29th, Taemin's side announced through their official social media account, "Considering the situation affecting key personnel for the tour and production due to ongoing uncertainties related to U.S. visas and associated administrative procedures, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the scheduled North America performances of the '2026-27 TAEMIN World Tour 'LiMiNaL''."

They further explained the background behind the postponement, stating, "A significant number of key tour and production staff required for the North America performances are still awaiting visa approval," and added, "There is no clear schedule regarding the timing of issuance. Considering the ongoing uncertainties related to the participation of essential personnel, we determined that proceeding with the tour as scheduled would entail substantial operational and production risks."

They then conveyed, "The North America tour is expected to proceed on a rescheduled itinerary. New dates and venues are currently being coordinated and will be announced soon."

Taemin completed his Seoul concert for the world tour at the Seoul Songpa-gu Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium from the 18th to the 20th. He had planned to launch the North America tour, which would cover a total of six cities starting with SAP Center in San Jose on October 12, but ultimately postponed the schedule about two weeks before the performances.
