But for real though iheartradio, give Stacy and Ellie both a raise. They are my favorite interviewers.

Stacy I loved how sweetly you treated Taemin here. You made sure he ate, you complimented him so sincerely he did that eye blink thing he does when he gets embarrassed. Fantastic job yet again. Also I don’t know how you could sit next to such a sweet angel so closely. Lol

Taemin being in a group was the perfect move for him. SHINee helped him grow and mature as an individual and only helped groom the amazing talented individual he already was. So proud of him he’s forever cute maknae to me though ❤️

He's such a responsible, hardworking, honest, talented, dedicated, adorable, and amazing person... 😭 ❤ How can you possibly not love him?

Taemin doesn't like being cute but does this man not understand that he has the cutest freaking smile EVER?

Am I the only one seeking out ALL the Taemin stuff I haven't seen in ages because he's in the army and I miss him?? Like I can't be the only one doing this! No, right?

SM proudly stated that Taemin is their ACE...this is the reason why you can't simply say "others will pull a taemin" or labeling someone "the next taemin" so easily

Why does SHINee members look younger as they grow older? Taeminnie you will always be our ACE 😍😍😍

hackerwols attention !!!!!! new mission : finding SHINee's version of 'press your number' from sm's dungeon..

1hour of pure taemin content? Yes please.

Taemin is so well mannered. He waited for Stacey to finish her question or her converses before he speaks. That is very hard to do. We usually jump right in the middle and not listen to the whole sentence. Taemin listens well and waits for his turn. Well educated!

Stacy did a great interview here -- because she connects with Taemin as simply a fellow human being rather than a star. Moreover, she didn't present herself as a robotic celebrity interviewer but someone genuinely curious about his process and experiences. And I think that is why he revealed himself more than he might have otherwise. It is interesting, though, I have seen interviews of him where he comes across as more adult -- assertive and determined -- than he does here. Maybe he was feeling cozy under Stacy's benevolent gaze! He fascinates me -- he is so much more than the cute image many reduce him to. The intellectually inclined Jonghyun once said of all the members it was with Taemin with whom he had the deepest conversations. He seems, beyond his dazzling artistry, to be a truly lovely human being who carries his beauty and his burdens with grace. I wish him all the happiness in the world.

Trust Kibum to always find a new way to annoy Taemin ♥️

Taemin talking about Michael Jackson here is really freaking me out as a huge MJ stan. 😍 I recently got into Taemin. I love his artistry. Taemin for sure has that aura, the magic that MJ had. Taemin's presence on stage alone is truly mesmerizing like MJ. MJ would be so proud of Taemin. ❤

I miss him. This is my fav Taemin interview, Stacey treats him with so much respect and asks questions no one asked him in 14 years.

This video is almost an hour??!?!? An hour of taemin? I aint complaining. Thank you iheartradio!!!

Stacy! This is the best Taemin interview - ever! You were on point with the questions, and we have lots of new information on The Taemin. He's so sweet and modest.

“There is no one like you” is probably the most accurate accomplishment for Taemin as an artist.

Taemin is not only immensely talented and hardworking, he's also very special. His aura and personality really reel you in. I've stanned SHINee since 2010 and I've stanned so many groups since but Taemin has remained my ult for 10 years. He's so charismatic and magnetic, not only when he's trying to be cool, but even when he's at ease, just being himself. He makes you want to cheer him on, which is exactly what an idol needs to be like.

I feel like the interviewer really does know Taemin quite well and has been following his career.. And Taemin seems really comfortable and relaxed here. 😊

TAEMIN deserves everything. No one can ever begin to understand how much pressure he has gone through and how much effort he put into his work when he debuted at such as young age and when he became SM's first ever solo from a group. He never talks about how much he sacrificed. He earned everything he has now from nothing other than he own hard work. and even after his solo he keeps saying that SHINee is family and all. Taemin deserves everything and he deserves all the love in the world.

Taemin reminds me of MJ.I hope he is adjusting well,because I couldn't imagine MJ in the military.I hope his country appreciates how admirable what he,and all other young men are doing for South Korea.All young men,not just Idols.

This is genuinely one of my all time favorite Taemin interviews now. From the questions to the parts where Stacy made sure the baby ate well, I was smiling and tearing up and go through the motions the entire time. Also, I love the fact that he mentioned the part about Outro being a calm before the storm, it supports my theory that the Outro is the map of this universe Taeminnie is creating with his music. GENIUS INTERVIEW AND GENIUS ARTIST. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

I loved how Stacy treats Taemin like a Mom. ANYWAY, I NEVER REGRETS STANNING AN AMAZING MAN LIKE LEE TAEMIN

The moment he starts talking about dancing - his thoughts, his attitude, his pursue of perfection, his deep analysis - he makes you realise why he is where he is, why he became one of the best and most recognized dancers of his generation. And OMG, can I just say that I always knew he surely thinks very big and sees a big picture when it comes to his art, but I was totally blown away when he expressed how HE wants to become a music genre rather than be someone who stands behind his music. This thought itself was simply brilliant and shows that he was born to achieve great things in his life! He is an incredibly inteligent man, I'm in awe of his way of thinking plus he's such a humble and adorable person! And did he just promise to go on a world tour???!!!! I'm screaming!!! Yes Taeminah, come to Europe please, we are waiting for you!!! Thank you so much for a fantastic interview :)

He is so humble, kind, sweet, adorable, and beautifuL and I know he doesn't speak much English but his pronunciation is really good, I love taemin 😔

데뷔전부터 솔로데뷔 그리고 지금 현재까지 한번에 이렇게 쪽 얘기 들을 수 있었던 인터뷰는 처음인거같은데 인터뷰 질문들 다 주옥같다ㅠㅠ 그리고 태민이 월투 한다고 약속했어ㅜㅜ 너무 좋아

스테이시님 진짜... 사랑합니다... 인터뷰 퀄 오졌구요.... 태민아 이건 내가 팬이라서가 아니라 넌 진짜 장르야. 여자 남자 태민... 태민이에 대해서는 정말 100장이 넘는 논문 쓸 수 있고 써야 한다고 생각함. 위인전 남겨야 해 응원하는 가수가 끊임없이 성장하고 꿈을 꾸는 가수인 것만큼 큰 축복이 어디있을까 태민이 인터뷰 볼 때 마다 내가 아는 태민이는 정말 더 영리한 사람이란 걸 알게 돼서 매번 놀람.. 하 이태민을 논하기엔 이 댓글창은 너무 작다.. 진짜 이태민 논문 써야돼..

First Key, now Taemin... how can I be you when I grow up!? 😂😂😂💚💚💚

For a recent fan of a Taemin, I would like to express my gratitude to Stacy, who is very proffesional and let us know about Taemin's real struggles and acheivements like no other korean entertainment industry. You are true proffesional Stacy!

I'm living for this 1 hour long video of Taemin's content. Thank you again stacy, you're the best Taemint and Shawol

I come back here from time to time to remind myself of my own passions and dreams. I liked Taemin because of his talents & quirkiness but his work ethics made me adore him more. it’s amazing how a young boy established himself in a very harsh industry, continued wowing audiences with his skills and now, proving to everyone why he is worthy of the ‘Ace’ title with his endless pursuit of becoming a better artist. Will forever look up to this man for never giving up and for his impeccable drive to be greater at what he does.

Taemin is now in the army and I’m rewatching old contents to cheer myself up because I miss him. Thank you so much for this interview. He looks so natural and happy.

I bet Taemin misses SHINee at interviews like this because he can eat the food while the hyungs are answering questions.

"what do you think you're lacking in?" THANK YOU for asking this cause man I wanna know too

I really impressed his philosophy on dance. Really difficult explanation and assumption of art. He is genius

"I am still young, but now I see the end." You gotta love him.

I LOVE THIS TYPE OF CONTENT

태민 자체가 장르이고 레전드💛 태민이가 예술이고 태민 브랜드 입니다💛

think of it - he hadnt had a fitting voice for SHINee when they debuted, now he is going Solo with his own distinctive style of music and is even able to sing highnotes. that's 100 % passion and comittment. Taemin is truly "married to music" and dance.

Somewhere in this world there is a recording of an rnb version of press your number sung by the five members and I need it right now Bless you for this interview omg Taemin is too cute and he really loves his hyungs 😭

어떻게 저렇게 바르게 컸지... 진짜 태민이 잘 컸다 겉모습뿐만이 아니라 내면도 슈퍼스타야

I have never seen someone like Taemin..He is very mature for his age yet he still is like a pure boy at heart..His thoughts are very detailed and deep when it comes to his career and he has a clear image of what he wants to become.. He is hardworking, honest, modest and he knows how to turn a negative situation into an opportunity..He is just amazing..It's an honour to be able to witness his growth each and every day..I adore him with all my heart ..Thank you iheartradio and Stacy for sharing this with us.

아 너무 잘생겼어,, 먹는 것도 고급지고 눈빛도 고급지고 거의 모태 럭셔리탬,,,, 당신,,,,,,, 너무 멋져😂

태민의 한마디 한마디는 버릴것 하나 없이 뼈가되고 살이된다 태민의 모든 삶을 지지하고 응원할께!!!

와우 대혜자 인터뷰 감사합니다 선생님ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 당장 이 인터뷰를 이태민 위인전으로...!

Hi Stacy, would you interview him when he'll be released from the military service? Lots of fans are worried about him. It would be a blast and a blessing if you could give us the in-depth interview.

원래 알던 태민인듯 아닌듯 볼때마다 새로워 또 반했어♥ 태민아 사랑해♥ 내용도 알차고 태민이도 편해보이고 Stacy님 좋은 인터뷰 감사해요ㅎㅎ

내가 좋아하는 아이돌이라서가 아니라 인간 이태민으로 진짜 본받고 싶다 나는 모든지 하기싫어하고 귀찮아하는데 노력하고 이겨내는 모습들이 너무 사기캐고 그런모습의 이태민이라서 또 좋고 그냥 다 너무 멋있고 본받고싶다 사랑해 태민아 (주절주절

역솔남 이태민 최고야😭😭😭

I love how comfortable Taemin seems! And that ending was everything! So precious ♡♡♡

I have always wanted to watch an interview like this where the artists are comfortably talking about what they are passionate about. It really fills my heart to hear them express wholeheartedly especially since their works greatly represent them. AAAAAA Taemin!! Please keep on doing what you're doing and please know that you are an inspiration to aspiring artists like me as well, not just in the form of dance and singing but in other art forms as well. I hope you bring your show to the Philippines!

This is truly the best Taemin interview out there. Enjoyed every single moment. Taemin do a world tour!!! We need to see your beautiful performances in Canada and the US. Stacy you are amazing at what you do!

Taemin has no bad songs. Periodt. He is a national treasure that needs to be protected or else we are coming for you SM! 👊

Every solo concept Danger > Move > Want; all are outstanding. Taemin is such a unique talent and remains so humble. ❤️️

So Taemin definitely has something big coming up his next project😭. Im ready to wear a hat the rest of my life cause I’m gonna be bald

항상 활자로만 접했던 태민이의 노력에 관한 이야기를 직접 들을 수 있어서 너무 좋았어요 ㅠ 세상에 하나뿐인 아이돌 태민이 ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜ

완전 사이다 Stacy 질문👍 진심 속시원한 태느님 사이다 답변👍 가장 듣고 싶어하는 월드투어 답변 듣게 해줘서 너무너무너무너무 감사합니다🙏 전세계가 태민 월드투어 간절히 원하고 있다는걸 태민에게 소식 전해줘서 진심 고마워요💛 속시원한 사이디 알찬 답변이 내가슴이 시원하게 뻥 뚫린 느낌! 태민이 진짜진짜 사랑해💛💛💛💛💛

Taemin's songs have this dark/bad boy aura, but he's just the most adorable person ever. Taemin is so talented and an idol for many younger idols

우리 태민이 움뇸뇸 잘먹네. 이제 혼자서 인터뷰도 잘하고ㅜㅜ 맛있는것도 먹고 좋다. 좋은 인터뷰다...

대체 어디가 부족해 어디가 어디가 부족하냐고 이태민 이 댓글 보고 잇다면 머리속에 새겨라 넌 완벽하다 존재 자체로 완벽하다 이태민은 신이다 샤이니월드 모두 최애는 있지만 최애에 상관없이 종교는 이태민이다 신이 빚은 이태민은 세상 유 일 무 이ㅣ원앤온리이태민은 신이다 태민은 존재 자체가 장르다악 (그리고 태미나 주전자 아니고 요술램프야,,,ㅎ)

🤣🤣 I love the ending where u zoom in and put "because cute Taemin must be seen more than once !!" So tru !! Hahahaha I enjoy it so much

이렇게 데뷔전~원트까지 50여분동안 태민이 이야기로 꽉꽉 채워서 볼 수 있어서 참 좋네용 스테이시님이 워낙 편안한 분위기로 인터뷰 해 주셔서 보기 더 좋은 것 같아요💕음악 얘기하는 피알오 이태민부터 애교부리는 애치까지 완벽합니다👏👏👏

I'm late to this interview as well as late to discover Taemin, but I really enjoyed this conversation. It's always a sign of a great interviewer when the interviewee is so relaxed and truly volunteers information the way Taemin did throughout the interview. I feel like I learned a lot about how he looks at his art and the process of creating it. Also, wow, how is he able to look so cute when he chews? 😳

태민이가 조근조근 길게 말하는 영상이라 넘 좋다 ㅜㅠ ❤

Fantastic interview. Nearly an hour long and not one disrespectful, prying question. Western entertainment journalists please take note. From an Australian!

mom i love him

아티스트다 태민

YAS FIRST KEY NOW TAEMIN! IHEART RADIO IS FEEDING US SHAWOLS WELL

This was one of the most in depth knowledgeable interview I've seen in a while. Way better than most us talk shows that know nothing about kpop. Yay for this. This was 👏 fantastic and I loved how well composed and in depth the conversation was. Plus I just adore Taemin in every way the more I watch him, I mean he covers his mouth when eating at a interview?! Wow, why can't more people mind thier manners like this sit up proper, take a shower and not shovel food eat chew with thier mouths open and talk with food in thier mouths and shovel it down like it was thier last darn meal? I wish people would do what he does.. He even strives to be better no matter how perfect we see him, with wanting to tighten up his dance moves which baffles me becuase I'm in awe of all of his intriguing small movements that he does in his dances that make them so vivid unique and taeminesque. Some people believe they are perfect and don't need any change, He is a true idol and Like someone to look up to. His dancing, singing, style, pose, gosh , so posh and yet so sweet. Wow. I can't wait to see his concert. Tpop, yass...That cute bunny dance to at the end! I just literally laughed out loud. What a good sport! Gosh. Love this. I'm full taemin mode.

정말 매력적인 사람 태민♡ 인터뷰내용 듣다보면 참 섬세한 애치인걸 느껴ㅎ 태민아! 보여주고싶은거 해보고 싶은거 도전하고 싶은거 노력하고 싶은거 많은 가수의 팬이라 행복해~^^ 아레나 솔로 투어 앞두고 또 열심히 하구 있을텐데 화이팅이야ㅎ 보고싶다 늘~♡

Taemin is soo timid and shy. I'm so surprised cause normally I see idols either be hyper active and all over the place or hyping themselves up. Taemin speaks with thought and he really answers questions pretty in-depth and not just surface level

Since becoming a Shawol, my life has become an endless cycle of biasing/ being bias-wrecked by the Lee brothers. The power Taemin holds is incredible. What an amazing artist, and precious human being. One more solo comeback, then he has to enlist. I hope the military treats him well. Shawols will be counting down the days until he returns.

예쁘고 귀엽고 멋있고 섹시하고...혼자 다 하세요....ㅠ

It’s honestly such an honour to be a fan of SHINee & its members.

영원히 사랑스러울 태민

이태민 가만안도ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 엉엉

He's soooo freaking adorable that i have to pause the video every 5 minutes to calm myself down😭😭😅😅

정말 아티스트에 대해 깊이알고 인터뷰해주셨다는게 느껴지네요!! 태민오빠도 다른 인터뷰보다 엄청 편안해보여요!! 좋은 인터뷰 정말 감사합니다!!

I never get bored seeing Taemin He's the most handsome and goodlooking

The fact that he thinks he lacks in any aspects of his dancing is astonishing to me.

just that intro with all those classic taemin expressions had me rolling

코하루와 함께했던 음악들 너무너무너무 좋았어요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 태민과 너무 잘 어울리면서도 태민만의 느낌을 너무너무 잘 살려냈던 굿바이, 원트, 무브… 비유하면 마치 물이 흘러가는 듯 아름답고 부드러우면서도 그 속엔 굉장한 강렬함이 깃들어져 있는 느낌…

태민이는 진짜 장르야 ㅠ^ㅠ 사랑해 태민아

man i want to meet taemin hes the nicest guy in the workdworld

뭐지?? 이영상 보는동안 흐뭇한 미소를 짓고 있었다... 기분 좋았다... 이 사람은 꼭!!행복 했으면 하는 바램이 생겼다..

Taemin hurry back sooooo missing your infectious giggle and honest babble of you, screams for more fun laughs and happiness in taemin world fighting ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ shawol forever,

Usually when taemin goes on solo interviews he sounds a bit aloof but he was very comfortable here. I think shinee really is comfortable around Stacy. I wish she just does all the shinee interviews in the future

그렇게나 많은 무대를 해왔음에도 불구하고 한결같이 겸손한 태도, 그러면서도 당당함이 느껴짐

taemin is so beautiful I can't-

You can see that Taemin being active in the industry for 11 years now and he's that experienced but that cute habit of blinking of him when he's embarrassed still there I just can't 😭 and I love it that this doesn't just looks like an interview more like two friends talking with each other it's so satisfying! Thanks Stacy for treating Taemin so well and thanks Iheart for feeding us shawols again!

ㅋㅋㅋ태민이 서사와 좋은 이야기 듣고 맛나게 먹는 것도 보고 기범 요청 헌정댄스(?) 보는 것까지 모든게 완벽했습니다.

인터뷰 진짜 너무너무 좋다~~ㅜㅜ👏👏👏 태민아~너가 가고자하는길을 항상 응원할게~ 사랑해~~😣👉💕💕🙆

I honestly cant even voice how much i look up to taemin. What he said about what sets him apart from other dancer and how he asks why a person moves the way they do....that kind of just opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. Also him finally growing into his image and just ugh wow. He is THE artist. He makes music we can see. Also watchung him eat and think is like watching a literal baby. Im so in love with him and his mind.

Taemin he's So Cute 😍🖤✨

내가 한국사람이라는게 이태민 때문에 자랑스럽다! 장하다~ 우리 태민이! 이태민 따라올자 없다!! ❤

An hour of Taemin? Sign me up. Taemin and Key are both so lovely, i can't get enough. Both their smiles melted my heart.

This interview was the best. Taemin was treated so nicely also. And a THANK YOU goes out to KEY for those requests. Haha So cute. 😂❤

he’s so precious

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ어떠케 넘모기여워 마지막ㅋㅋ 오래기다린만큼 알찼음 👍👍👍❤❤❤
