On the 22nd, she posted on her social media account, “I’m not doing a clothing business,” and “I made them with the intention of giving them as gifts to people who I’m grateful for, with no intention of selling them from the beginning.” She continued, “I’m sorry for causing any misunderstanding,” and said, “I will always show you my humble and hard-working side. Thank you for your support.”
Taemin’s agency Big Planet Made Entertainment also stated on the 23rd, “We would like to inform you that the content about ‘Taemin launching a clothing brand’ that was posted on an online bulletin board on the 22nd is not true.”
The agency explained, “Taemin designed a T-shirt himself as he wanted to give a special gift to his fans while preparing for his fifth mini album ‘ETERNAL’,” and “These T-shirts are being given away through a raffle to fans who visit the exhibition starting on the 22nd.”
He continued, “These clothes were made for Taemin to express his gratitude to his fans after he changed agencies,” but added, “However, the company that made the clothes made the mistake of uploading clothes that were meant for another brand as Taemin’s clothes, which caused misunderstandings among fans.”
In doing so, they added, “The clothing manufacturer officially apologized to Taemin and his agency, and promised to do everything they could to ensure that this kind of mistake never happens again.” They continued, “Big Planet Made Entertainment will also be more careful to ensure that the companies we work with do not make the same mistakes.”
The agency emphasized, “We would like to confirm once again that the news of Taemin launching a clothing brand is not true, and we promise that he will approach fans as an artist who only does music.”
Taemin has been holding an exhibition commemorating the release of his 5th mini album in Seongsu-dong, Seoul since the 22nd. At the exhibition, an event was held where Taemin gave away T-shirts that he participated in making, and the official account of what is presumed to be a clothing brand was revealed through the QR code engraved on the T-shirts, raising speculations that Taemin is launching a clothing brand.
Meanwhile, Taemin released ‘Eternal’ on the 19th and is currently promoting the title song ‘Sexy in the Air’.
