In the shared photos, the new recruits and SHINee Taemin can be seen a black shirt and shorts, along with socks and sandals as they sit down in a row.

While sitting down and posing for the camera, SHINee Taemin and the recruits were each holding up a syllable that, if read together, spells out as "To our parents, we love you."

After the photos were shared, many fans, the Shawols, were delighted to sneak a peek at Taemin during his enlistment.

However, numerous fans also shared their worries for the idol. It is known in the industry and among fans that SHINee Taemin is naturally skinny, so seeing Taemin lose more weight while he is at the training center made fans worry more.
