#wow I didn't know Kim Young Dae had spoken about him already

"Listening and watching Taemin’s music and performances are like looking at a piece of contemporary art.

"Although he can easily be categorized under popular music and K-Pop, Taemin’s music is much different from regular idols who create easy to follow songs for their fandoms.

"Actually, you could say that the properties are completely different. Taemin’s music is a mix of cutting-edge sound and retro aesthetics, and his movements are on a different level even in the eyes of someone who is not skilled in dance.

"But these little details can only be seen by those who know the difference, those who are ready to appreciate a higher level of artistry.

This by no means is an evaluation that is only for the idol scene. He is one of the most unique and exemplary solo artists in the entire Korean popular music scene."

- Kim Young Dae, Korean ethnomusicologist and critic
