TAEMIN’s North American Leg of “LiMiNaL” World Tour Postponed Over Visa Issues

SHINee’s TAEMIN has postponed the North American leg of his “LiMiNaL” World Tour.

A notice shared to the singer’s official SNS accounts on Sept. 28 said: “Due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. visa and related administrative processes affecting key touring and production personnel, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the scheduled North American dates of the 2026-27 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR.”

The announcement added that, with the staff’s visa delays and “no clear timeline for issuance,” Taemin and his team chose to reschedule, as continuing could pose “significant operational and production risks.”

The news came two weeks before the North American leg’s scheduled start. Taemin was set to perform across the U.S., with stops in California, Nevada, Texas, Illinois, and New Jersey.

“The North American leg remains an integral part of the 2026-27 TAEMIN WORLD TOUR and will proceed on rescheduled dates,” the statement said. “New dates and venues are currently being arranged and will be announced shortly.”

Taemin’s tour is currently underway after its Sept. 18 kickoff in South Korea and will continue on Oct. 28 in Mexico. Refunds for the now-postponed U.S. dates are available upon request.
