During the episode, Taemin was shown items in an “art gallery” that represented different stories about the SHINee member.

One of the items was a mystery box, which was packed with items representing his solo releases.

Taemin revealed that his “rule-breaking” ways helped him earn SM Entertainment‘s attention and praise, becoming the first member of the group to officially make their solo debut with his mini-album ACE in 2014.

After hearing about the effort Taemin went through to improve his skills and earn his solo debut, Curator host HoonD presumed that Taemin’s favorite solo song was his debut single “Danger.”
