Public image and musical style

[edit]

Taemin is noted for his distinctive and intricate dancing style, which often incorporates elements ofcontemporary dance.His frequent use of androgynous fashion and make-up, especially since his 2017 single "Move",[89]has earned him recognition as a pioneer of the genderless performance trend amongst male K-pop idols.[90]

I wanted to go beyond what K-pop typically is perceived as, and through "Move" I was able to show a concept that’s more edgy, more powerful. Not only that, but regardless of the gender, I believe that all of the audience will be able to enjoy and listen to this as something different from most of what’s coming out in K-pop. (...) My aim was to find a middle ground, mixing both masculine and feminine movements into the choreography together.[91] — Taemin on "Move"

The choreography to "Move", created by Japanese choreographer and frequent collaboratorKoharu Sugawara,went viral in South Korea following the single's release, spurring many dance covers by fans and celebrities in a trend dubbed "Move Disease".[92][93]

Taemin's discography is predominantlypopandR&Band occasionally influenced byrock,hip-hop,trapandelectro,darker in theme than his work with Shinee, and sensual in character. Lyrically, Taemin's songs cover concepts ranging from love and lust to self-discovery, philosophy and faith. His music videos are often choreography-focused and contain biblical references, particularly "Want".[94]
