SHINee's Taemin Ends Exclusive Contract with Big Planet Made... "Unable to Confirm Dispute Over Settlement Issues"

Taemin, a member of the group SHINee, has announced the end of his exclusive contract with his agency Big Planet Made Enter and is signaling new steps ahead.

Big Planet Made Enter stated in an official position on the 24th, "We inform you that the exclusive contract with artist Taemin has ended."
