[theqoo] SHINEE TAEMIN, SUPPORTED STAFFS OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET... HIS LOYALTY SHONE THROUGH (FT. CONTRACT TERMINATION)

Singer Taemin has been confirmed to have personally covered part of his staff's salaries out of his own pocket.

According to Sports Chosun's investigation, amid several variables arising during recent contract terminations, Taemin personally covered part of the salaries to continue working with his existing staff.

Some industry insiders interpret this as Taemin stepping in to provide direct support when the staff's working environment became unstable, coinciding with suspicions of unpaid settlements surrounding Big Planet.

This decision is seen as an effort to keep the team stable, reflecting his sense of responsibility and loyalty towards the staff who have worked with him for a long time.
