SHINee Taemin’s Unprecedented Gravity-Defying Concert Raises Safety Concerns

Gaining attention for the spectacular aerial stage at his concert, Taemin addressed concerns about safety accidents

Taemin’s solo concert ‘METAMORPH’ took place on Dec 17th in Incheon, Korea.

Starting with the opening title ‘The Rizzness,’ the concert featured a reverse hanging stage that garnered enthusiastic responses from fans. The concert, which became a hot topic from the first show, continued to attract attention online, solidifying Taemin’s impact.

A massive structure measuring 6m in width and 6m in height achieved a 360-degree rotation, creating a topsy-turvy effect. As Taemin sang on the stage, he gradually descended, executed a 180-degree rotation, and continued performing while hanging upside down.

To ensure safety, Taemin’s feet were securely anchored to the floor, and both sides of his waist were connected to the ground, giving the appearance of stable support without any swaying.

The spectacle didn’t end with the opening. In the ‘DOOR’ stage, Taemin appeared hanging upside down from the beginning, even covering his eyes with a blindfold, adding an element of surprise. 

Netizens were impressed with Taemin’s unprecedented and daring concert. Comments like “As expected of Taemin” dominated the discussion. Being the first of its kind in Korea, Taemin received praise for delivering a concert that only he could accomplish.

Positive reviews poured in, highlighting Taemin’s adventurous spirit evident in every stage. The tailored direction by SM’s performance director Hwang Sang-hoon, maximizing Taemin’s performance abilities, also played a significant role in creating a synergistic and outstanding production.

However, some expressed concerns about the risky nature of the concert, raising worries about safety issues. Even some fans voiced their worries, “It’s concerning,” and “I hope he doesn’t attempt such risky performances in the future.” 

The difficulty and high-risk nature of the performance are undeniable, considering Taemin’s extensive experience and exceptional performance skills. Fans’ concerns are understandable, given the unpredictable nature of safety accidents.

Aware of this, Taemin expressed his gratitude towards the end of the concert to the stage production team and staff. He said, “Many people worked hard, especially those who value safety. Some may have personally experienced the (topsy-turvy) stage before I climbed onto it,” expressing his gratitude.

To prevent any safety accidents that should never occur, skilled staff dedicated a considerable amount of time and effort to create the best stage possible. 

Taemin directly proved this through his performance, addressing concerns and garnering praise. His collective effort to bring forth a high-quality stage shines even brighter with the successful outcome.
