SHINee's Taemin has completed his Japan arena tour. Taemin successfully finished the arena tour '2025 TAEMIN ARENA TOUR Veil,' which lasted about four months, with the Hyogo performance held at GLION ARENA KOBE on December 24 and 25 as the final show. This tour, titled 'Veil,' showcased a world view that traverses the boundary between good and evil, completed with Taemin's unique performances and meticulous direction, receiving a warm response from Japanese fans. The tour, which was the first Japan arena tour in about six years, garnered high expectations even before its start, as Taemin traveled through five regions: Kanagawa, Saga, Shizuoka, Chiba, and Hyogo, proving his overwhelming presence once again. He caught attention with a shocking performance where he was suspended from a cross structure, opening with 'Heaven' and instantly captivating the audience. In addition to the stage for the new song 'Veil,' he heated up the venue with intense performances of 'Bones,' 'Advice + IDEA:理想,' and 'Shadow.' He then showcased a series of dark yet conceptual stages with songs like 'Guess Who' and 'Criminal,' drawing the audience's gaze. Following that, stages featuring Taemin's elegant performances and delicate vocals were presented with songs like 'Exclusive,' 'Door,' and 'Flame Of Love.' The excitement in the venue further increased with performances of songs released in Japan, such as 'Into The Rhythm,' 'Tease,' and 'Famous.' Fans responded to Taemin's explosive energy with applause and cheers. Particularly, during the beloved song 'Mars,' he walked around the stage, making eye contact with the audience and delivering a profound emotional experience. Responding to requests for an encore, Taemin took the stage again to perform his representative songs 'MOVE' and 'Holy Water,' leaving a deep aftertaste. In the end, he expressed, 'I was happy to perform the Veil show with everyone. Thanks to the love you give me, I can keep walking. Please wait until we meet again,' and delivered the ending song 'FINALE,' concluding the approximately four-month arena tour. This arena tour served as a reaffirmation of Taemin's influence in Japan. Notably, the Saga concert attracted attention as part of a local government project, with Taemin's posters displayed at major stations and shopping districts, a gourmet map created for fans, and a 'Veil'-themed bus operating, receiving a warm welcome. Thus, Taemin, who decorated the end of this year with a splendid arena tour, will carry this momentum into America. He will hold a solo concert in Las Vegas on January 16 (local time) ahead of his appearance at the largest music festival in America, the '2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival,' on the 20th, where he will perform at the Grammy Museum's 'Global Spin Live.'
