Singer Taemin became the first Korean male solo artist to perform on stage at the United States' largest music festival, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.


According to Galaxy Corporation on April 13, Taemin held a 50-minute solo performance at the Mojave Stage in Indio, California, USA, on the 11th (local time).


The performance began with an opening that utilized a giant egg-shaped "Sphere." On a stage that visually expressed the message of "self-liberation," Taemin showcased "Sexy In The Air," "WANT," as well as his new songs "Permission" and "PARASITE" in succession.


In particular, during the new song "PARASITE," lyrics and quotations themed on hatred in modern society were translated into Korean and projected onto the stage. The visual effect of Korean text flowing over the bodies of Taemin and the dancers transcended language barriers and delivered the core message of the song.

In the middle of the performance, Taemin performed his representative songs "MOVE," "Guilty," and "Heaven." He then energized the audience with new tracks such as "Frankenstein," "Advice," and "IDEA." In the latter part of the performance, he presented "Let Me Be The One," "Sober," and "1004 (Auto Force)," unveiling a total of six new songs for the first time at Coachella.


Taemin said, "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I am happy to share this time with so many people, and I will continue to repay you with even better music in the future."


Galaxy Corporation stated, "Tens of thousands of audience members gathered and sang along in unison to the Korean lyrics, clearly demonstrating Taemin's global influence."



Taemin is scheduled to take the Coachella stage for a second time on the 18th (local time).
