He expressed a desire to become an artist who can fully convey music like Taemin.

Kangmin of the group Berry Good discussed his role model while promoting his first solo single album 'Free Falling'. He expressed a desire to follow in the footsteps of SHINee's Taemin, stating that the inspiration began when he watched Taemin's performances as a child. Notably, he recalled the impact of Taemin's solo song 'MOVE', which made him realize the power of conveying music solo. Kangmin aims to become an artist who can deliver music fully, similar to Taemin. Recently, he covered Taemin's 'Guilty' during a fan meeting, showcasing his efforts to find his own identity.

Despite being born in 2003 and celebrating his 7th debut anniversary this year, Kangmin has accumulated substantial experience, including participation in survival programs and acting roles. However, he remains humble, acknowledging that he still has much to learn. He expressed a hope to become a role model for others in the future, similar to the way Taemin inspired him. Kangmin's first album 'Free Falling' is set to be released on the 26th at 6 PM.

Kangmin's solo debut marks an important turning point in his growth as an artist. Influenced by Taemin, he has begun the journey to discover his unique identity. The impact of Taemin's 'MOVE' stage performance goes beyond just being a performance; it serves as a roadmap for the artist he aspires to be. Kangmin's goal of achieving a commanding stage presence will greatly influence his musical direction.

Furthermore, covering Taemin's song during a fan meeting is another way for him to strengthen communication with fans. Through this, fans will share in his growth process, and Kangmin will feel a strong sense of responsibility in front of them. This interaction is likely to have a positive impact on his future activities.

Lastly, Kangmin's solo debut can bring a positive change to the image of his group, Berry Good. By balancing group and solo activities, he may share new musical ideas with the group or create opportunities for collaboration with other members. Through this, Kangmin is poised to grow further as a unique artist akin to Taemin.
