Taemin, a member of the renowned group SHINee and a solo artist, has successfully wrapped up his first solo world tour, 'Ephemeral Gaze (이페머럴 게이즈)', with a triumphant series of performances across North and South America. On February 23, 2025, he held a sold-out concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, marking the grand finale of his North American leg.

During the Los Angeles concert, Taemin performed a mix of his hit songs such as 'Guilty (길티)', 'MOVE (무브)', 'WANT (원트)', and 'Criminal (크리미널)', alongside tracks from his latest mini-album 'ETERNAL (이터널)', including 'G.O.A.T (고트)', 'Sexy In The Air (섹시 인 디 에어)', 'Horizon (호라이즌)', 'The Unknown Sea (디 언노운 씨)', 'Crush (크러시)', 'Deja Vu (데자뷔)', and 'Say Less (세이레스)'. His performance left a lasting impression on the local fans.
Taemin expressed his gratitude, stating, “Thank you to everyone who made it possible for me to shine on stage. Although today with you will soon come to an end, I firmly believe this is just the beginning of our story, and that we will have many more opportunities to meet.”
Following his successful tour in Asia, South America, and North America, Taemin is set to embark on a European tour starting March 4 in Helsinki, Finland, followed by performances in Frankfurt, Germany; London and Manchester, UK; Tilburg, Netherlands; Paris, France; and Brussels, Belgium.
