Shawols have been eagerly awaiting the return of SHINee‘s maknae Taemin, who has been away since May 31, 2021, completing his mandatory military service.
SHINee made their last group comeback on February 22, 2021, with their seventh full-length album, Don’t Call Me, before Taemin officially enlisted in the Korean military.

Since then, Shawols have been living for any updates they can get about Taemin, whose exact release date has been uncertain until now.
While serving, he’s made sure to check in on fans and support his fellow members when he can.
He was even spotted at fellow SHINee member Key‘s solo concert, delighting fans as Taemin was seen smiling widely in the crowd, seated next to SM Entertainment‘s founder Lee Soo Man.

The photo of Kkong was posted with a caption wishing his fans, who Taemin has affectionately nicknamed “Jjakgoong,” a Merry Christmas.
He checked in, asking how fans were doing and thoughtfully advising them to dress warmly in the cold weather.
In the top right corner of Taemin’s Instagram update was a simple “D-100” that was loaded with meaning as fans realized he had begun the countdown to his official military discharge date.
After a long 18 months, Shawols finally knew Taemin’s discharge date, which is set for April 4, 2023.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they shared their reactions to the news on social media. #LEE TAEMIN and #D-100 quickly began to trend as Shawols began to celebrate the spring return of the talented SHINee member.
