SHINee Taemin denied the rumor of launching a clothing brand.

Taemin's agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, said on the 23rd that 'Taemin's clothing brand launch' is not true through an online bulletin board.

Regarding Taemin's clothing brand launch rumor, the agency designed the T-shirt because it wanted to give a special gift for fans while preparing his fifth mini album Eternal. And the T-shirts are being distributed to fans who visited the exhibition, which began at the Informal Square in Seongsu-dong, Seoul on the 22nd."



"The clothing was made by Taemin to move his agency and thank the fans," he said. "However, the company that made the clothing made the mistake of misrepresenting the clothes that would go up to other brands into Taemin's clothes, causing misunderstanding among fans."

In the meantime, "The clothing manufacturer has officially apologized to Taemin and the agency, and has promised to make every effort to prevent such mistakes from happening again in the future."



Finally, `Big Planet Made Entertainment will also take more care of the companies that collaborate with us to avoid making such mistakes.'

Earlier on the 22nd, the previous day, there was a rumor that Taemin launched a clothing brand through various online communities. This is because a fan who won the Lucky Draw at Taemin's exhibition left a T-shirt and a hat certification post that he received as a gift from Taemin.



This is an exhibition event held at Informal Square in Seongsu-dong, Seoul from the 22nd to September 1st to commemorate the release of Taemin's new report, and Taemin announced that it will draw nine people every day during the exhibition and present T-shirts produced by Taemin.

When a QR code added to the gift wrapping was taken, the fan, who left the certification post, claimed that it was connected to a clothing sales site under the brand of 'TAEM107'. In addition, speculation arose that Taemin may be launching a clothing brand, citing that the SNS account, which is believed to be the brand's official account, follows Taemin only, the price of clothes is specified on the site, and that the brand has a Kakao Talk Plus friend account.

In response, Taemin immediately "I don't run that clothes business. I made it as a gift to those who are grateful with a good heart without thinking about selling it from the beginning. "I'm sorry for making you misunderstand. I will always be humble and show you my hard work. Thank you for your support," he wrote.

Since then, the brand's sites and SNS accounts have also been deleted, and the agency's position that it was a mistake by a collaborative company has been reported, and the controversy seems to end with happening.

The following is a full text of Taemin's agency's admission.
