SHINee's Taemin is celebrating his birthday today, July 18, but it was his fans who received a gift from the well-loved K-pop idol.

At midnight (KST), the “Just Me And You” special video was uploaded in SHINee's YouTube channel, much to the delight of Shawols all over the world who have been asking for it for a long time.

The said video was one of the VCRs played in between sets during Taemin's Beyond Live: Never Gonna Dance Again online concert last May 2. Those who were able to watch called it a visual masterpiece that showcased Taemin's insane ability in telling a story through dance, and that it deserved to be seen by the public.

Thank you for giving the greatest gift that Taemin gave to the world. Just Me and You vcr is the most awaited art that deserves to be seen by the whole universe. #Everyday_TAEMINDay#온세상이_태민이로_빛나는날 pic.twitter.com/Z3ZqOZUvNG
