**TAEMIN** has postponed the entire North American leg of his 2026–27 **LiMiNaL World Tour** because key members of his touring and production staff are still waiting for U.S. visas.

The six-date arena run was scheduled to begin Oct. 12 in San Jose and continue through Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grand Prairie, Chicago, and Newark. The postponement was announced Sept. 29, less than two weeks before the opening show.

According to **TAEMIN's** team, a significant number of essential personnel remain caught in the visa and administrative process, with no clear timeline for their applications to be approved. Moving forward without those staff members was determined to present substantial production and operational risks.

The announcement applies to the touring and production personnel required to stage the shows and does not state that **TAEMIN** himself was unable to obtain a visa.

Although the original October dates will no longer take place as scheduled, the North American leg has not been canceled outright. **TAEMIN's** team said it "remains an integral part" of the world tour and will move forward with a rescheduled itinerary. New dates and venues are currently being arranged and will be announced later.

Fans who purchased tickets for the original performances can request refunds through their original point of purchase. Individual ticketing platforms and venues will provide additional instructions regarding the process.

The postponed run included an Oct. 19 performance at *Texas Trust Credit Union Theatre* in Grand Prairie, **TAEMIN's** only scheduled Texas appearance on the tour.

**TAEMIN** launched the **LiMiNaL World Tour** with three concerts at Seoul's *Jamsil Indoor Stadium* from Sept. 18 through Sept. 20\. The tour's North American postponement does not currently extend to the separately announced Latin American and European dates.

The **SHINee** member made his solo debut in 2014 and has built an international following through releases including "Move," "Want," "Advice," and "Guilty." Earlier this year, he became the first Korean male solo artist to perform on **Coachella's** official lineup.

"We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the shows," **TAEMIN's** team said. "We look forward to sharing the new North American tour dates with you soon."
