SHINee’s Taemin’s North American tour was forced to be changed with about two weeks remaining until the first performance. Today (the 29th), Taemin posted an announcement regarding the North American performances of his 2026–2027 world tour, "LiMiNaL," on his official social media account. Taemin’s side revealed, "Because the U.S. visa and related administrative procedures are currently unclear, and this is affecting the staff involved in the tour and concert production, our company has no choice but to decide to postpone the scheduled North American performances." It is said that many of the production staff are in a state of waiting for visa issuance, and the timing of completion of issuance is also uncertain. Therefore, it was judged that if they forced it ahead, there would be serious risks to the entire operation of the performance, and the postponement was decided. However, this measure is a postponement, and the performance itself has not been canceled. Taemin’s side added, "We plan to hold it after changing the schedule in the future, and we are currently adjusting new schedules and venues," and "We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the performance, and we thank you for your understanding. We will inform you of the new North American tour schedule soon." For purchased North American performance tickets, refund procedures are possible by applying through the place of purchase. Details will be separately announced through each ticket sales platform. Originally, Taemin was scheduled to tour major North American cities, starting with San Jose on October 12, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grand Prairie, Chicago, and New York. ・SHINee Taemin releases schedule poster for world tour "LiMiNaL" ・SHINee Taemin releases MV for new song "FLOAT"... attention also on the beautiful visuals
