Taemin is the last member of SHINee to enlist in the military. Onew, Minho, and Key were all discharged from their mandatory military duties last year, and the group made their long-awaited full-group comeback with “Don’t Call Me” in February. Earlier this month, Taemin released his last solo album “Advice” before his enlistment.
