While interacting with fans, TAEMIN said, "I think this is the first time I'm telling this story, but when I was a trainee, I was eating pung-op-bang (Korean taiyaki) at a food stall when a really scary guy approached me.
"I bumped into them," he said, "and they started making excuses and saying that their eyes met, and I panicked a lot, but Jong Hyun hyung remained really calm and composed.
Up until then I thought I could get through it somehow, but then they took me into a dark alley and there were three more large people there," he revealed.
TAEMIN said, "I thought things were getting pretty bad and a lot of my things were stolen. They tried to steal my MP3s, but my hyung prevented that from happening.
At the time, my brother's shoes were also valuable, but I told him not to touch his belongings and to take his own shoes. So he went home barefoot," he said. "It was a really scary moment for us,
My brother replied, "It's okay, it's close to my house," and laughed out loud, saying, "Let's come on "Us" (a talk variety show that aired in Korea at the time) and talk about it later."
"I said, 'I've created an episode,' and we laughed a lot," he said, talking about his memories with Jong Hyun. TAEMIN said, "It was raining at the time, and the ground was wet.
My feet got wet and must have been cold. In that condition, I think my brother had to walk quite a distance up the hill to the house. He protected me like that, and we went home laughing.
The next day, we met in the practice room and talked about it a lot. I have such memories." He said. Fans were also impressed by Jong Hyun's heartwarming story, which he revealed belatedly.
Meanwhile, Jong Hyun passed away in December 2017 at the age of 27. Since then, the members of SHINee have often spoken of Jong Hyun's death.
The SHINee members, who recently bought matching friendship rings, are also talking about Jong Hyun's memories.
It was also revealed that he bought rings and gave them to his family, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.
