Looks like the spirit of generosity always reigns in our idols.

During his appearance on KBS 2TV's "1 vs 100", SHINee maknae Lee Taemin talked about how much his life has changed since he debuted with SM Entertainment contemporary boy group SHINee.

Taemin revealed, "I think the greatest change I have experienced was being able to help my parents out financially." The singer continued, "I was able to buy them a home in Cheongdam-dong, and I was even able to get my mom a purse. Although I have bought them a car, they just look at it from the balcony. These moments are heart-warming, and they will always stay with me."

As for his own personal growth as an artist since SHINee debuted five years ago, Taemin added, "Since we had promoted heavily abroad, we decided to focus on staying in the country for our activities. Since we have been active for so long, the stage is now comfortable, and I've gotten to know the broadcast production staff, so it's comfortable."

The episode of "1 vs 100" featuring Taemin will air on November 12 at 855 PM KST.
