Seventeen's Mingyu Returns After Health Issues; SHINee's Taemin's K-pop Junior Pick

In the world of K-pop , surprises and heartwarming moments are never in short supply. This week, fans were treated to not one but two pieces of exciting news. Seventeen's Mingyu made a swift recovery from a bout of lower back pain, and SHINee 's Taemin expressed his admiration for Seventeen 's Hoshi during a press conference for his new mini-album, "Guilty."

Mingyu 's Quick Comeback:


Seventeen fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Mingyu is set to return to group activities after a brief medical hiatus. The ordeal began on October 26 when Mingyu experienced sudden and debilitating lower back pain. Worried fans watched as he temporarily halted his activities to seek treatment and rest, as advised by hospital staff.

Fortunately, the update from Pledis Entertainment on Weverse came as a pleasant surprise. Mingyu's condition improved significantly during his time off, and he was deemed fit to rejoin Seventeen's schedule. This announcement arrived shortly after Seventeen's successful comeback with their latest track, "God Of Music," which saw a remarkable 5 million copies sold in the first week.

Taemin's Admiration for Hoshi:

Meanwhile, SHINee's Taemin revealed his appreciation for a fellow artist during a press conference for his fourth new mini-album, "Guilty." When asked about junior artists he admires, Taemin responded with a warm smile, singling out Hoshi from Seventeen. Taemin expressed his admiration for Hoshi's exceptional dancing skills and noted that Hoshi is a big fan of his.

Even more intriguingly, Taemin and Hoshi have shared more than just compliments. They've already engaged in the "Guilty" challenge and have discussed the possibility of collaborating on a song together. While it might be a lighthearted conversation at this stage, both artists seem genuinely excited about the prospect of creating music together.

Taemin's Grand Comeback:


This press conference marked Taemin's return to solo activities after a 2-year, 5-month hiatus due to his military service. He enlisted right after releasing his third mini-album, "Advice," in 2021, and completed his military service earlier this year. His return is marked by the release of his new mini-album, "Guilty," featuring a dynamic title track.

"Guilty" is a remarkable song characterized by a grand sound brought to life by a 30-piece string section and synth elements. The track is known for its infectious and unique beats, along with straightforward lyrics that delve into the complexities of a selfish form of love.

In the ever-evolving landscape of K-pop, moments like Mingyu's recovery and Taemin's comeback are a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of artists. Fans eagerly await both Mingyu's return to Seventeen and the potential musical collaboration between Taemin and Hoshi, knowing that the world of K-pop will continue to surprise and delight them.
