Taemin of SHINee has released his third mini album 'Advice' and fans cannot get over the star's styling in the same

SHINee's Taemin has released 'Advice', a mini-album consisting of five songs on May 18, Tuesday, and the title song of this playlist has a terrific video and an even better theme that has captured the hearts of the fans. The lyrics speak of Taemin's "one advice" and how the more trapped he feels the more he wants to break out from all the stigmatizing that is taking place.

In keeping with the theme of the music video, the styling for the song has also taken a tone of underlining gender fluidity. From being dressed in a sports bra to wearing stockings, Taemin's styling goes hand in hand with the song's lyrics. One of the lines in the song goes "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after" packing a powerful punch. This is also what fans seem to love about the music video that was released as many took to social media to comment on the same.
