TAEMIN’s new EP ‘PHASE I: Soft Violence’ is scheduled for release at 6 p.m. on August 31, 2026. The official Weverse Global sales notice also lists August 31 as the official release date, while reports from Yonhap News Agency and Sports Kyunghyang cross-confirm the release time and album composition.

11-track lineup with ‘FLOAT’ and ‘Gooey’ as double lead singles

The EP contains a total of 11 tracks. ‘FLOAT’ and ‘Gooey’ are included as the double lead singles, and TAEMIN participated in writing the lyrics for ‘Gooey.’

The tracklist includes five new songs, including ‘This Is The End,’ ‘Easy Loving You,’ and ‘SKIN,’ alongside six songs previously unveiled on the Coachella stage. Therefore, the key point to check just before release is not simply the addition of new songs, but how the tracks first revealed onstage and the new songs are arranged within one album.

What to check after release

Because the album has not yet been released, its actual digital performance and chart rankings have not been confirmed. Chart positions, sales, and streaming metrics will need to be checked separately after the album becomes available.

After the release, TAEMIN is scheduled to hold a solo concert at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul from September 18 to 20, 2026. The EP’s release schedule can therefore be reviewed alongside the timeline for his subsequent activities.
