SHINee’s Taemin Threw Up In His Bathroom But For A Very Unusual Reason

There are many reasons why people experience vomiting, including food poisoning, motion sickness, and excessive alcohol consumption—but none of these is why SHINee‘s Taemin once threw up in his bathroom!

The topic was brought up in a recent episode of MMTG when MC Jaejae shared that she had watched the boy group’s live broadcast for their 15th anniversary. She was struck by something the “Advice” singer revealed. He admitted to his members that he once threw up…while brushing his teeth.

I checked out your live show celebrating your 15th anniversary. You made a bold statement. While he was brushing his teeth…he threw up.

Compared to most people, he brushes his teeth extremely well. He was so thorough that day, he accidentally gagged when his toothbrush hit the back of his mouth.

Key further shared that Taemin can only feel satisfied once he brushes all corners of his mouth.

• Taemin: I brush my teeth really thoroughly, so in the process, I often get gag reflex.
• Key: Taemin has to brush all corners inside his mouth in order for him to be comfortable.

When Jaejae asked where he learned that habit, they all had a good laugh as he proudly declared that he taught himself. Key went on to joke, “That’s why self-study is dangerous.”

• Jaejae: Who taught you to do that?
• Taemin: I taught myself.
• Key: That’s why self-study is dangerous.
