Taemin is extremely popular in Japan & China. His Japanese releases are more ballad like and the MVs are cinematically gorgeous. Sayonara Hitori is incredible. Obviously, I’m a fan

Taemin is the ACE of Kpop, idols' idol. Taemin's dance style is so elegant, sophisticated and expressive. "I want people to see music". And I'm not taking about his vocals, it's really beautiful and mesmerizing.

Omfg finally discovers Taemin, this is a joyous day!!

If you like this one, you'd also like some of my favorites from Taemin: Idea and Criminal. It would be criminal indeed not to listen to them.

Taemin is one of my favourite artists of all time, not just in Kpop, but in general!

Your thumbnail is exactly how I looked getting the notification you have finally seen the KING. TAEMIN 😭 🖤

Taemin - Criminal is a masterpiece too!

When you’re a legend and highly respected you don’t need this fake mass streaming views. This is for quality artistic music/performance. Taemin deserves the worlds attention but he doesn’t get promoted much to mainstream audience/western. He is very well known and respected in industry and have highest praises. All his music, mvs, live stages are just artistic masterpieces. I hope you continue to look into his music, I think you’ll enjoy it

I really like your reaction because you really pay attention to details and also you got the message of the song. Taemin is a complete artist and he can surely surprise you more and more. Nice day!

Teamin debuted with Shinee in 2008 when he was just fourteen years old. Teamin is incredibly talented singer Dancer Vocalist and Preformer

I like how you juggle everything to react to this video. I loved your comments!

I see "Advice" as a continuation of the themes within Taemin's previous Never Gonna Dance Again album trilogy -- "2 Kids," "Criminal" and "Idea." With "Criminal" and "Idea," Taemin talks about being involved in a toxic relationship -- not necessarily a romantic relationship, but a metaphor for his relationship with fame -- in which he agrees to be manipulated almost to the point of being destroyed in order to become the artist we see today. But in the end of "Idea" we see him become free from the box everyone wants to put him in and he comes to terms with his role as an idol. He has now formed his own "Idea" about himself and what it means to be an idol, etc. As Taemin explained during his VLive event for "Advice", "Advice" is like the end to the first chapter in his life, and the beginning of his second chapter, which will be after he completes his military service. (He enlisted May 30, 2021, and he will be on hiatus at least until November as he fulfills his duty to his country.) The song seems to be his way of saying I am done caring to everyone who judged him and all those haters who spread rumors and misinformation about him. "Advice" is showing that he is now free and confident to be himself, breaking stereotypes and now only listening to himself. Taemin is just one of those performers that leaves you speechless every time he steps on stage. He was born to be a performer and that is one of the reasons why he has become known as the Korean Michael Jackson. That is also why, as one of the top two performers in the industry, he was made a member of SuperM. Taemin is an Idol of Idols and a legend of legends. And the title of the industry's BEST dancer isn't just a fan's opinion but it's a widely agreed upon title bestowed on Taemin by his peers and the industry as a whole. In "Advice" he's basically saying, "Stop trying to put me in a box, in which I'll never fit in." He is also speaking to everyone that says he's getting old, that he's just a Michael Jackson wannabe that doesn't sell a lot of albums because he tries too hard to be edgy, etc. He's rebelling against all those people who are constantly advising him to make more mainstream music or to follow the traditional Kpop idol style in order to boost his sales and his popularity. However, as Taemin is making clear in "Advice," that is not who he is and he will never be "normal" or "mainstream" and he is OK with that. In the scenes where you see him covered in ink, I think that is supposed to be him showing everyone how he is no longer the "unstained," cute maknae everyone wants to think of him as. The diamond you see painted on his hand when he is playing the piano, and you see drawn on his bicep, etc. is the official symbol of his group SHINee. (The large tattoo on his hip is real. Hence why in the lyrics he says, "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after." He's tired of people thinking they even have a say in what he does with his body.) This song was specifically designed to not be like anything he has ever done before. He plays the piano, he raps, he shows off his falsetto notes, etc. which is different than what we often hear and see from him. He intentionally used this song to prove that he isn't one type of singer. People often think of Taemin as a sultry vocalist that sings in a breathy comfortable less dynamic style. So, with this song he wants to prove to everyone that he can be unpredictable and try new things. Yet again, you can't put him in a box or tell him who to be. Everything you see in this MV is 100% Taemin. Everything that Taemin's haters like to point out about him and say are reasons why he shouldn't be held to such high esteem, I find completely ridiculous. I don't think that anyone who actually knows him would ever say he has played it safe at anytime in his career. If you think he is only one dimensional, and that he is trying to be anything other than himself, then you really don't know Taemin. Everything he does is different, out there and definitely not safe. It's always uniquely Taemin, and he couldn't do it any other way. Also, because Taemin is a member of SHINee, none of his songs are ever like anything you have every heard or seen before from him. It will always have a new beat, style and sound. As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, SHINee is meant to be the first and they are expected to set the trend, and that includes the members' solo work. With every new song Taemin produces it's expected to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from him in any of his songs, even on the same album, and yet, it still will be uniquely Taemin-like. Which is another example of how you can never put him in a box or expect anything from him. :D Another theme in "Advice" is about how Taemin is embracing his androgynous side -- but on his own terms -- which I think is a continuation of the message in his "Move" MV. Early in his career when Taemin was growing up in SHINee he was known for his feminine look. The industry thought it was novel and cute to dress Taemin up as a girl and play up his feminine features. It took him a long time to accept that he was known for his looks and to come to terms with the fact that everyone thought of him as a "pretty boy," etc. So, at this point in his career he is making a statement about how he has decided to be himself and no longer care what people think. Music is art and art has no gender. So, that is why in "Advice" you see him wearing hair extensions, fishnets and women's Supreme sports wear, etc. But if you notice, his choreography is very fast paced and sharp which is hyper masculine -- a complete contrast to the "feminine" image people want to give him. You also see him wearing makeup, but it's smeared on his face, as if to say, "people may think of me as a 'Pretty Boy,' but I don't care about looking pretty." In the lyrics he is saying, "It's creepy how people are always looking to cause drama, so stop trying to create scandals in my life that don't really exist. It's all just stories you make up." He's tired of all those people who seem to look for reasons to cause drama, where none really exists. Where he says "floppy" in the lyrics, I think he's talking about knowing about or hearing firsthand the things people are saying about him, but he is choosing not to pay attention to them because what they're saying is flopping or doesn't hold any weight or have any substance, etc. "Advice" just proves that everytime people try to put Taemin in a box he destroys it and keeps coming back with something more unique and never seen before. I interpret the "One (piece of ) Advice" he is talking about in the lyrics as a reference to the advice he keeps being given about being more mainstream, but he's saying, "stop trying to make me conform to the image you have in your head of who I should be and what I should do" -- in other words, take all that time and effort you have been using to come up with ways to talk about how I don't fit in, etc. and put it to better use. "Follow my own advice" and do something original for once. As a devout Catholic, Taemin often uses Biblical references and metaphors in his songs and MVs. And the crucifixion pose at the end of "Advice" is sort of a signature pose for him. I interpret it to be like he is saying, "And that is the end, this is my final word, take it or leave it, but don't doubt me. I have gave it my all and laid everything I had out there for you," etc. If you are impressed with Taemin's dancing in this MV, just wait until you see him dance live. You will be even more blown away. As I said, Taemin is on a whole other level. And, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Taemin and SHINee. That is why they are one of the top groups in the industry and why they have such legendary status. SHINee is made up of some of the absolute best singers, dancers and performers in the entire industry. With more than 13 years since their debut, they still command one of the top spots. When Taemin debuted in 2008 as part of SHINee he was only 14 years old and, yet, he was already known as one of the best dancers in the industry, and he only becomes more magnificent as you follow him through his career. Now after more than a decade, Taemin is still one of the youngest in many Kpop circles -- he is only 28 -- and, yet, he often has the most seniority and experience. He is so well respected that everyone looks up to him. SHINee is a 5 member group that is known for their live vocals and amazing dancing. They are known as CDNee or CD-eaters because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. SHINee always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing, so they avoid it at all costs. When you hear the members of SHINee singing, 95% of the time it will be live. It's a running joke between the fans and the members that when SHINee lip syncs you can tell because it's very obvious. They have now gained the reputation as the group that always sings live, so unless they are required to lip sync for a specific reason, what you will hear is live vocals. They have specifically trained their entire career to build endurance and stamina in order to be able to sing live and always sound flawless while performing extremely complex choreography for more than 3 hours straight. SHINee set the standard. That is why they are so highly respected among their peers. It is literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard all other groups strive to reach.

Taemin is my solo love 💞💞💞💞that song is his masterpiece in everything...song, performance, choreo, style. Love it.

A very shy person with a mountain of creativity. Best dancer in KPop. Please go back to his prior work. So amazing. Thank you so much. Love you ♥️

I just want to say: 😭😭😭. In all seriousness, thank you Jessi and Anthony!! Taemin is my ultimate idol. He is a legend. He is ART with all capital letters. ❤️💜👏😀

I LOVE TAEMIN, HE'S SO SO SO SO TALENTED! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!

Teamin is very talented. He is playing the piano in the beginning of the video. He reminds me of the “Crow” main character in the movie. It’s a beautiful video. Very artistic. And he made the video before he went to the Army. He getting out this November 2022

Yes!!!! TAEMIN! HE IS A GOD!!!! 😍 MORE TAEMIN PLEASE!

he is the BEST dancer in kpop

teamin's "move" is THE masterpiece, you should check it out too

Welcome to SHINee (pronounced "shiny") World (fandom name: SHAWOLs - short for SHINee World) and our king of Kpop, Taemin, a true LEGEND in the industry. Taemin has been in the industry for 17 years (when you count trainee years as well). He entered SM through the historically difficult open Saturday auditions at the age of 12 and became one of only six individuals to ever be chosen through those auditions. He went on to debut with the, also legendary, 2nd gen group, SHINee -- the original trendsetters of Kpop ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bb80xyEHEoQ.html ) who brought you actual live singing while performing more complex, intricate choreos ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M4pINahBoRY.html ) and started the dance practice video trend just to name two of many firsts. One of the only groups who will still sing 90-95% live during performances. Taemin was only 14 YO (intl. age) when he debuted as SHINee's main dancer and is their youngest member. He was so young when he debuted that he couldn't sing due to immature vocal cords. His fellow members, Onew & Jonghyun (best in Kpop -- seriously as SHINee mentored both EXO and NCT) tutored him when the time was right, and now Taemin has a beautiful voice which he continually improves each year. As a totally self-taught dancer, Taemin began teaching himself when he was 10 by practicing his favorite moves from MJ, Usher, Rain, etc., in front of a mirror. He quickly became a master at popping, locking, and isolations ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qo18L3_Kc0Y.html ) while incorporating a natural fluidity that is breathtaking to watch (for example, his "IDEA" dance practice looks like he's not even trying and yet it is so intricate and complex). Most in the industry (not talking fans here) cite Taemin as being the best dancer in Kpop. He is also known as the "Idols Idol" because of the many 3rd & 4th gen Kpop Idols who look up to him and cite him as the reason they pursued a Kpop career. Although Taemin's forte is popping, locking, and isolations, he can quickly master just about any dance style, and you will see this if you continue to react to his music. In addition, despite each and every member of SHINee being a main vocal (their vocals are THAT GOOD, especially live), Taemin also became the first-ever SM soloist from an active boy group in 2014, at just 21 YO. He was an immediate hit and was given, by the company, the moniker of SM's "ACE," as everything he does turns to gold. This is why he gets only the best in production, backup dancers (of which he has two crews: Korean and Japanese), and lots of freedom and creative license etc. In 2019, Taemin again debuted with SM's newer "super" group, SuperM, comprised of seven of the best of the best dancers, vocalists, and rappers in SM Entertainment. If we add in a second sub-unit Taemin debuted with earlier in his career, this marks Taemin's fourth debut within three generations of Kpop. He is currently a member of both SHINee and SuperM, as well as a very prolific soloist. He is an extremely busy guy and avowed workaholic. Taemin enlisted in the military in May, 2021, and will be discharged in November, 2022. "Advice" is from his 2021 mini-album of the same name with the theme being chess, as you correctly guessed. It was Taemin's parting gift to us, his fans (Taemints and SHAWOLs) just prior to his enlistment (ALL SHINee members are extremely close to their fans, as well as having the most famous brotherhood in Kpop). As with most of Taemin's music, there are layers of meanings. In addition to it's surface meaning, "Advice" is also the epilogue to his 2020 storyline from his 2-part, full-length album, "Never Gonna Dance Again" (NGDA), a masterpiece of epic proportions, for which he acted as both co-producer and co-director. It is his biggest selling album to date, as he continues to surpass himself with every comeback. This is why he is SM's "Ace". To grasp the full picture of "Advice", I think it would be best if you reacted to its predecessors, "Criminal" (NGDA-Act 1) and "IDEA" (NGDA-Act 2), in that order. There is a reason why his outfit in "Advice" is black & white. It represents his duality which we first discover in his 2015 hit, "Press Your Number". "Criminal" (NGDA-Act 1) is based on the concept of Stockholm syndrome where Taemin is both the "criminal" and victim within his own mind - one ego that has split into two separate and distinct egos (we see this schism played out as a breakup in his MV, "2 Kids" -- the prologue from NGDA, Act 1). It's a love/hate relationship. "IDEA" (NGDA-Act 2), on the other hand, has the equally unique concept of Plato's Theory of Forms which states that any created being (form) cannot create itself. Only an outside power/being can be the creator and only that creator can make perfection -- a Messiah (like Jesus). This philosophy fits in perfectly with Taemin's Christian worldview. Using the visuals of Hell vs. Heaven (Hell = "Criminal"; Heaven = "Victim" reborn/resurrected/perfected) to represent his two egos, we see the climactic battle play out in the MV and reveal the outcome of said battle. Both are artistically stunning MVs, as is usual with the quality production value and visual symbolism Taemin's videos are known for. "Advice" shows us the newly resurrected and improved version of Taemin who, after the rousing success of NGDA, will no longer defer to the "One" (collective) advice of others regarding his music (including saesangs and haters), or his personal choices (such as getting tattoos on his torso) but instead follow his own "Advice" regarding his future endeavors. His return from the military will begin Act 2 of his career. As you can now tell, Taemin's mind is on steroids when it comes to creativity. He pours himself into his music through the imagery, lyrics, choreo, concepts, and costuming. Everything means something in most of his MVs, down to the tiniest details. If you want to know the inner struggles, heartaches, joys or philosophy of Taemin's personal life, all you have to do is decode his MVs and music. For instance, his song "Want" looks like one message on the surface, but as a Christian, you can dig deeper and realize it's also a re-telling of Genesis 3 of the Bible where he plays the role of Lucifer. "Famous" sounds arrogant at first listen, but if you watch the MV, read the lyrics, and decode the symbolism, you realize Taemin is showing the constant temptations that come with fame, how he himself is tempted, but comes to the conclusion that while being "famous" may be "fabulous" it's also "dangerous" and creates "drama". However, Taemin wants "no drama" and his grounded faith helps him walk away from those others who fail and burn in the end. There are other songs, like "Heaven" a beautiful illustration of salvation, and "Identity" where Taemin is singing about his lost SHINee brother, Jonghyun. Then there's songs like "Impressionable" and "Strings" where Taemin compares himself to a spider/victim in a web or a stringed instrument being played by someone respectively. His vocals artfully playing with the music. Being so young at debut, SHINee raised Taemin and will forever be their baby in their eyes. Conversely, he has become an eclectic mix of all of them, absorbing their collective talents like a sponge. SHINee is one of the most complete all-rounders of any Kpop group. They all are main vocals, all are soloists, all can dance; all can rap; all can write songs, and they all have an experimental bent when it comes to music. There is a reason why they are still putting out hits even after 14 years of an active career. Their last comebacks in 2020 & 2021 just prove why SHINee has been and always will be the trendsetters of Kpop. I really hope you will pursue reacting to Taemin's vast discography, both as a soloist and with his OG legendary group, SHINee, where he feels most at home and considers family. They are a special, unique combo.

Thank you Anthony Ray. Taemin is my ult bias because he is so good. This song was his last song before he went into the military on May 21st 2021 and has less than a year left. Miss him. I first watched his Move m/v which was so different and amazing more artistic. You can get why they call him the Michael Jackson of k-pop if you watch his solo debut Danger m/v. Idea m/v, Criminal m/v, are more recent, and some older are Want m/v, & Famous m/v, my all time favorite k-pop song is Taemin's Japanese song called Sayonara Hitori and they have a m/v for it. So glad you have reacted to Taemin. Loved it and break down of the song. Hope to see more of Taemin reactions.

Taemin’s style is sexy, edgy and unique. Please react to more of his music videos, he’s amazing.

Taemin mv's is always LITT

getting this notif made me so happy omg

YAAAY taemin is my all time favorite so happy you’re reacting to him!!!

I found your channel cause of this particular Taemin reaction (I’m an ardent fan of him and his artistry) and I really loved your deep analysis and your references (Edgar Allan Poe - wow, absolutely! A lot of Taemin’s lyrics are very poetic!) I can’t say I’m surprised that you instantly identified Taemin as a super unique and impactful artist, cause the same happened to me couple of years back - I saw thanks to YT algorithm his other spectacular song “Move” and literally after 1 minute I was convinced he’s an exceptional, one in a generation artist… I really hope you’ll react to more of his songs and hopefully performances. I recommend Criminal and IDEA first, cause these two are connected and tell you a lot about his artistic identity and the magnitude of an artist that he is. I love it that you go so deeply into lyrics and can instantly (and correctly) decipher the meaning - the more reasons for you to check out Criminal and IDEA which are absolute masterpieces in this aspect. Regarding Taemin’s vocals - you were spot on saying that he uses his voice here like another percussion instrument. Taemin’s ability to shape and modulate his voice is super impressive and trust me he has amazing producers but a lot of it comes from his own musical instinct/knowledge/experience/sensitivity. There’s a super interesting vid on SHINee YT channel showing Taemin recording in a studio for Advice album. Honestly more people should see how he works in the studio, how much input he has and how he communicates with his producer - it’s a masterpiece in its own right how they work together and how such gems like Advice are created. Sorry for this long essay, I was just very impressed with your reaction and very happy to see you appreciate him so much. And you bet I will subscribe to your channel! :)

Your reactions are amazing and so authentic, you make people see little but yet important details that they usually skip. Keep the good work, I wish your channel to grow for people to see more of your amazing reactions :).

thank you so much for this reaction!! i think you would like his singing style a lot, he does a lot with cadence and inflections! looking forward to your thoughts on more of his music!:)

I hope you dive into more Taemin, I think you’ll enjoy it!

You should check Advice the studio choom version TAEMIN is the different level. THE KING of kings

First time checking out Taemin? Omg he’s one of the bests in the industry so glad you got the chance to check him out

More taemin reactionplease

Idea, Criminal, Danger, Move (the dance practice is definitely worth watching too) are some of my favorites. For the performance with Jimin you just have to search for Taemin & Jimin Showdown.

I love Taemin so much!!! You HAVE TO check out ‘Criminal’, it portrays his ‘usual’ style more than this one. Advice was kinda different, but absolutely amazing tho.

Ben ik zo met je eens! Deze man zou zo veel meer credits moeten krijgen. Ik zou zeker meer video,s van hem kijken. Het is de moeite waard. Ik vind hem briljant en meer dan dat!👍

Lee Taemin! He's sooo artistic and his music is >>>>

im so happy that you discovered him! definetly check out more

Yayy!!!!!

Finally we got Taemin !!!❤️❤️

Just look up Taemin and Jimin showdown it’s KBS video

Taemin is a beast.

Enjoyed your comments on the way Taemin was singing / rapping. He truly is special and it’s a loss to those out there who haven’t discovered him yet.

Teamin is amazing u would love all his singles

Yes!!! You should've seen my face 2 seconds ago when I saw this in my notifications. Yes!!!

Yes!!! U found the LEGEND

So glad to see you branching out into other artists. Taemin and Shinee are fantastic. They have a bit of a sad history, but they are iconic. Taemin is finishing up his military service now and I am sure he will be back with something awesome when he is ready!

CRIMINAL!!! Gotta see it

Taemin collabed with Bewhy on a song called Pinocchio, I was very surprised by that pairing to say the least. They performed it for a show The Call, and I was fully expecting it to be a very awkward performance cause they are very different. Taemin is well known for his insane dancing and a lot of expressiveness/passion/sensuality. Bewhy does not dance at all and has a cooler/colder approach to his performances.....not saying Bewhy is not expressive or passionate, but I think his expression style is much more contained and cool/cold, which I feel lends to his powerful stage presence a lot. It's just a very different style than Taemin, so I was wondering how they were going to go about their performance. And I was pleasantly surprised at how WELL they pair together, they kind of adjusted a lil bit to fit each other, but without losing their individual style and approach. The divide between kpop and khiphop is quite wide, so I didn't know if they would mesh well as people. They became friends after that collab though, and Bewhy said he hopes the collab will help to bridge the gap between kpop and khiphop, and help hiphop fans get over their judgements about kpop. I personally like Move by Taemin, it might not be your style though cause it's a more sensual vocal heavy song, less of the rapid rap-style of singing like in this song. The beat and bass for Move is nasty though, and his dance practice video shows a very difficult choreography. Very smooth, fluid while switching from slow paced to fast paced.

Best of the best king artist lee taemin!!

Hello Anthony, i love Taemin, react to "Move" is a so good, so sexy

I think you will really like Criminal too..waiting for another Taemin reaction and this is what you asked about ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CEURku1dTfU.html

Anthony, I requested Taemin and Jimin showdown, that’s the performance 😊 Thanks for reacting to Taemin!

“Criminal” the must heard song !

Taemin is just considered the best dancer in South Korea, one of the greatest artists in Asia! he is giant.

Taemin is just like a goddess in koop !!! Please react to more ATEEZ

Danger, Move, Want, Criminal, and Idea! Japanese songs are masterpieces Sayonara Hitori and Flame of Love ❤

Teemi creador de un estilo que es esclusivamente suyo un completo artista!

Artist TEAM (baby cheese ) Shawols pride (actually all ot5 are our pride) Yes it's masterpiece he left for us before his enlistment.

Wow, if you are just hearing about Taemin now, you are in for one hell of a ride. He is at the very top as a soloist, and his group SHINee has been setting trends and creating new roads since 2008. Still GOING STRONG, almost unheard of in an industry that kicks most groups in the butt by year 5 or 7. If you like the complex choreography of BTS (I'm Shawol first and Army second), you can thank SHINee for that. They started that trend AND the trend of posting dance practice videos with their song Lucifer. Fashion trends? SHINee. Dressing up for Halloween? SHINee. Taemin breaks apart stereotypical dance moves and he and SHINee always bring something different to the stage. Don't be afraid to ask questions, because we LOVE talking about Taemin and SHINee. :)

As for the black and white in the video, this song is part of a two-part album that very much focuses on the duality of light and shadow, good v evil, in the formation of the (whole or integrated) self, and the other videos from the two-part album visually convey this theme as well. The albums are Never Gonna Dance Again part 1 and part 2 and, combined, is a masterwork in pop music, in my opinion. Taemin does have real tattoos - the industry still tries to creatively cover them up in vids, however. Taemin is my favourite artist/performer after BTS. He is a vet in the industry, the "idols' idol" and HE. ONLY. GETS. BETTER at his craft as time goes on. He is a mesmerising performer - the way he moves his body - Taemin just... has IT; you know? His choreography for his MV "MOVE" is one of my favourite choreos ever, it's the combination of Taemin's masculine presence with feminine choreo - I dunno, it's just magical? That's the only word I can think of. Also, here is the Jimin/Taemin dance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CEURku1dTfU.html EDIT: P.S. TAEMIN ROCKING A SUPREME CROP TOP AND SPORTS BRA AND FUCKING KILLING IT.

Taemin chose this song as the last song before joining the army. When I first saw this music video, I felt it was like Taemin's "suicide note." Since he was a kid, he's only been thinking about becoming a boy band star. He said in an interview earlier that he "has never been lazy, never a day." For him, unwilling military enlistment may mean death as an idol singer.

Taemin is from group called shinee they been making song for almost 15 years that’s why they are talented and they have a lot of concept and even interesting ones I honestly love them so much they give me good vibes every time I watch their songs or even their solos song

Hi , your reaction on Teamin makes me happy 😊

Yes! I was hoping for this ❤️

I love this song

You are an exceptional reviewer

Taemin IS very dope! I really love "Criminal" an awful lot. "Advice" took a minute to warm up to (for me) because it is a difficult, meaningful, artistic song (I just wasn't in the headspace for it when I first heard it).

his voice is so unique and unreal has he reacted to woosung and woodz.

Yes I agree his music video deserves more views. It may not be as a popular as other mvs, but here is the thing.... he is criticaly acclaimed by music critics and his fellow peers in the industry who are singers are inspired and respect his artistry and that is worth more than a popularity contest. Being revered by the experts is where it counts. I look foward to hear your expertise on your future reviews on Taemin and SHINee his group of 5 powerhouse artists.

11:52 I'm commenting a bit late on this but the whole concept of this album was chess and you know there is two sides in chess, he's is the only one who is two-colored, he is like the master of the game, he has all in his hand as in the kpop industry him being named "legend/king of kpop" a leading artist/trendsetter and as in his own career he is the decision maker of all things.

I mentioned this in a couple of comments but I think the next MV of Taemin’s you should check out is “Move.” Don’t forget MOVE, which kind of took the industry by storm by some reasons I won’t spoil here, but SO MANY idols did covers of it. Basically any idol on a variety show could pull out the choreography at a moment’s notice it was so groundbreaking! Then I’d suggest Criminal or Drip Drop (performance version.). Drip Drop shows more of his fast, precise movements while Criminal is more smooth and sultry. Idea kind of splits the difference with a slightly brighter concept and fire choreography. And Want is a bit like Criminal 1.0 with the smooth sultry vibes again. I know that Japanese releases are usually blocked but if you have a way to get around it, you can see a completely different side of him in his Sayonara Hitori MV with a more lyrical but super intense flavor. Basically, you can’t go wrong and I gave you a subscribe because I’m excited to see your Taemin journey! He’s my ult/god and it’s always amazing to see him getting more exposure because every time I’ve seen anyone react to him, they’re immediately floored. He’s super talented and he deserves to be a household name!

Taemin is the legend... React also to criminal,want,move

Yay, Taemin is amazing! Please react to Criminal then Idea (they have a continuing storyline)

MORE TAEMIN PLS

Taemin is my favorite solo artist in K-pop (G-dragon would be second) and he is also considered the best dancer in K-pop.

#TAEMIN 's Revolution . Chapters : 1. #Taemin_Criminal ( the bright and the dark side of kpop ) 2.#TAEMIN_IDEA ( personal revelation ) 3.#Taemin_Advice ( the Rebelion ) . Powerful Trilogy about Idols life in Kpop . But for a better understanding you need to dive in the dark side of kpop . Taemin is the most complete solo artist in the Kpop at the present . The MV+ lyrics of his songs are mostly metaphorical and meaningful . He is a true Artist , not just an idol . Art in motion

taemin is a amazing artist! solo or as a full member of shinee! please react to both sides from him! i really like "move" from taemin and "don't call me"from shinee

Thank you so much please more Taemin and Nct

Bro you gotta check out criminal and move by him he’s literally out of this world

Check out Ace by Taemin, from his first album 💛

Taemin is member of (SHINEE) Taemin is one of the kind dancers styles on he craft...very unique..I can't discribe it more ✌️

Omg man you need to watch Idea by Taemin. The beat will punch you in the face it is sich a badass song.

And the legendary Idols Idol... Thee King Mr Lee Taemin has arrived... thats all i have to say 💜 well apart from you saying something i appreciate and love. You said Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson and Taemin is Taemin. Absolutely he was a massive influence on Taemin as he was on any dancer but the whole Muchael Jackson of Korea things drives me nuts because they are of a completely different time. The art of dance and performance has transcended to completely different levels and within that Taemin has been at the forefront of that progression for many many years. He has long been the guy that sets the bar and he deserves to own that in his own name. If anyone deserves worldwide superstar status its him and im sure if he had been born in the western world that would have been achieved. You are so right the views are great but far less than he deserves💜

You need to listen to idea, criminal and want from him like seriously so good!

Deserved the like

You definitely gotta check out on “Want” Taemin!

the idol of the idols Lee Taemin

Good guy. Good artist. Great in face. Him and SHINee have been through hell and back.

taemin is the michael jackson in k pop .. he is a performer

The tattoos writing in his torso is like the people behind keyboards just writing stuff that doesn't concern them. So he says talk as much as you want but I'll do whay is best for him. The crash even if I fail I do my own thing. Taemin is excellent.

Well, welcome to SHINee World (shorten Shawols) which is the fandom of SHINee (Taemin's group with who he debuted). You should check his WANT, Criminal, and IDEA solo work as well. Honestly, there is much more than that, there are also Japanese singles like Famous. Also, when you think you are ready, check out also SHINee itself and the rest of the members. SHINee is 5 member group that debuted on 25th May 2008, every one of them has a unique style. Onew is one of the best vocalists in KPOP (not only my opinion but from many more as well), Jonghyun is simply a poet-artist who wrote his own songs and a lot for SHINee and Taemin as well, you won't find any new work of him since he sadly passed away in 2017, Key has a specific nasal voice and is amazing dancer, creative and special artist as well and Minho - he is the only member that didn't publish his own CD, but has two singles - Heartbreak and I'm home, he is a rapper and has the deepest voice in the group and another amazing dancer. As more you explore them they just drag you into their work - they are really special and unfortunately if you ask me not recognized enough for their work. As for Taemin's tattoos in MV - he actually does have 2 tattoos, one on his left arm and one on his torso, but the rest of them are fake ones.

Damnnn I never noticed the mirror!
