SecondUpdate.com – The latest news comes from the K-Pop world. Lee Taemin, better known as Taemin of SHINee, has officially joined Galaxy Corporation.

The announcement was delivered directly by the agency on Wednesday, March 11. In its official statement, Galaxy Corporation confirmed that it had signed an exclusive contract with the artist.

The agency also expressed its commitment to providing full support for Taemin’s career moving forward.

According to the agency, they aim to combine Taemin’s widely recognized artistic abilities with the modern entertainment technology they are currently developing.

Galaxy Corporation is known as a company that promotes a technology-based entertainment concept, including artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

Galaxy Corporation is one of the entertainment companies in South Korea that focuses on developing technology-based content.

They strive to combine the entertainment industry with digital innovations such as AI to create new experiences for fans.

Currently, the company also represents several big names in the Korean entertainment industry, such as G-Dragon, veteran actor Song Kang-ho, and singer-entertainer Kim Jong-kook.

With Taemin joining the agency, the list of major artists under Galaxy Corporation continues to grow.

Taemin’s decision to join a new agency came after his contract with Big Planet Made Entertainment ended at the end of February 2026.

Previously, Taemin was reported to have chosen to end his partnership with the agency due to issues related to payment settlements. The amount mentioned in the issue reportedly exceeded 1 billion won.

In that situation, Taemin was also said to have used his personal funds to help pay part of the salaries of the staff working with him.

After leaving BPM Entertainment, Taemin briefly became a free agent.

However, not long afterward, he decided to join Galaxy Corporation as the new home for his solo activities.

Despite having changed agencies several times for his solo career, Taemin continues his activities as a member of SHINee.

The group remains under the management of SM Entertainment, the agency that first introduced Taemin to the Korean music industry.

With this new step, many fans hope that Taemin will present more innovative works, especially with the technological support that has become the main focus of Galaxy Corporation.
