I don't know if it is intentional or an intentional but the symphony you are talking to is Bach Invention 13. Maybe he (Taemin) like Bach, but who doesn't like Bach? He is such a great composer and Taemin is a great artist who can only full this of. This song is great!
TAEMIN is ART. Musician, songwriter, singer, dancer, choreographer, producer, stylist. His stamp is in everything he does. That's what artists are. They are rare gems and once in a while, we are gifted with one. He might not have as many views as other MVs which are average if not mediocre. But hey excellence has never been synonym for Popular. Unfortunately. Thank God for Taemin and a few others who grace us with their gift and thus keep the real thing, real music, good music and true artistry alive.
Tbh the reason why a lot of groups have such a high number of views is because their fans stream non stop, they’re not as ‘authentic’ I guess. It doesn’t even matter because Taemin is a legend that can’t be said for everyone
That's the duality of Taemin. He is the MASTER of dark concepts. Remember, this all comes from his inner reflections. Here are my thoughts, first it's a masterpiece, and the more I watch it, the more I become aware of the customary duality of the meaning behind the lyrics & images and the connection with NGDA, specifically "Criminal" and "IDEA". Taemin did say "Advice" is like the epilogue to those songs and his new beginning. Our first indication of this duality is the fashion of the backup dancers (half black; half white) and the first suit he wears (black in the front; white in the back - a mixture of both). As with most of Taemin's MVs we have the surface meaning of him seemingly addressing his haters/saesangs and telling them he'll do things his way (including getting tattoos if he wants, "I destroy the torso you were chasing after", and taking his own advice", and so on. However, there are several connections with NGDA: 1) He wore a very similar head mask that only exposes his eyes for part of his photoshoot for NGDA (where he was on the car). 2) For his "IDEA" photoshoot, Taemin wore a black veil, "Even the veil that hides the smile inside the glass mask is lost." So now, the veil is gone and so is the "glass mask" that hid his inner smile. Taemin has recently been much more open, expressive, and happy than in the past. He used to hide his emotions and be shy during interviews and such, letting his SHINee hyungs speak instead. Even he said he's actually smiling too much lately...lol. In addition, now we can't stop him from talking (a good thing) and at the speed of light to boot, mixing Korean, English, & Japanese. 3) With NGDA, he also sported tattoos on his hands and face. This time, Taemin actually fully exposes his torso (usually he wears a jacket with just the middle of his torso showing). The tattoos are explosive, blanketing his torso and arms which include scuff marks and thorns, as if he's been through a battle. His fingers are blackened like he escaped a fire (the inferno and lava seen in "Criminal" & "IDEA".) 4) In "IDEA", Taemin wears a crop-top but his waist/hip tattoo is covered up. Here, he's wearing a crop-top again, but we finally get to see his waist/hip tattoo. It's exposed. I think he intentionally covered his tattoo before to reveal it here to make a statement. I'm free, and I'll show you I can do anything I want -- including getting a tattoo. (Wish I could see what it is though.) 5) In "Criminal", Taemin was both the protagonist and the victim. He was "leashed" by his dominant ego (the one he's had for 14 years). He was totally under the dominant ego's control, trapped within his own mind. "IDEA" gave us Taemin's climactic battle and victory. The new ego is finally free and eager to explore, break out of his introverted ways, and create the music he loves rather than what is expected by the industry. You can see allusions to this via the very large Taemin in a very small room basically saying I'm too big to confine. "The more you try to trap me, the more I'll go off the rails." Now he's exposing his large waist/hip tattoo proudly and showing it to the world regardless of how anyone feels; a blow to how an introvert usually behaves. 6) When Taemin is suspended in mid-air, broken at the waist, you may have noticed his hair appears to be shorter and the same silver color as in "Criminal". The "criminal" ego has been broken and dismissed. Until now, there was only One advice - that of the "criminal" ego. However, now there is only "my advice" that of the new, freed ego: "I'll take my own advice," and a threat, "If you want to see the end, push my buttons." and "I'll shoot the One advice." 7) It also appears as if the "criminal" ego is not happy about his loss and this transition of power. He is trying to reassert himself, as demonstrated by the lyrics of the bridge, "It's creepy, the drama you wanted." "Why are you crossing the line again?". However new ego is having none of it. He won't be trapped again. He's locked that old ego away, "you never get the keys to my lock", and It's best to take his own advice and destroy what's left by shattering the "criminal" ego (windshield and visions of collisions, crashed cars. In short, destruction). 8) Taemin's signature "T" pose at the end (for "IDEA" it was at the beginning) - resurrection; the end of an old era, and the beginning of the new. In any case, this is just what I think. I do know that I'm really going to miss him during the 18 months of his military hiatus. He will enlist on 5/31.
That did actually made sense and I see some things more clearly now thanks to you. I now get the connection between criminal at least bc at some live broadcast he'd categorise the different egos of Taemin. He did say criminalTaemin is someone with whom one could get along the most. Now I see what he meant: bc criminalTaemin is actually someone who pleases the general public and shows things that are already known of Taemin since his debut. Hence his image till Advice. I can't wait till his next comeback after his military service. I see why you wrote about him being so happy and open lately. As shinee members once said tae and minho are somewhat tearless/emotionless. But in just the short span of time I've seen Taemin at least cry or get very emotional a lot. I almost felt bad for him. I had a feeling that he's too melancholic for his own good. But now I see that's actually something good bc he's getting them emotions out instead of bottling up. Thank you for your pov. I appreciate it
0:28 I am triple biased by those 3 too fun fact they are actually besties in real life too i was really gassed when I found out we need a freaking collab
Taemin enlists on the 31st he’s joining the army band like Key did. You should checkout the song on his album that features Taeyeon called ‘if I could tell you’
@@Mina-kq6cf I think he has a year left before he has to go but decided to go earlier. I assume so anyways since 92 liners are still enlisting up and Taemin was born in 93
Taemin killed the choreo as usual, he’s the ultimate performer in my eyes. Also can we get more SHINee reactions on the channel, theres still a lot you haven’t seen. I suggest their cover of IU’s dear name on IU palette
Advice is such an impressive track, I honestly didn’t expect Taemin to snap as hard! You know what the piano part reminds me of? Of some late Beethoven sonatas - you know when you have a finale of the huge piece that lasts around 30 min and at the end it just has this crazy, unstoppable drive! That’s what I feel - this piano melody is just relentless and his vocals on top of it and the beat it’s just madness how good it is!!!
Honestly.....no one does it like Taemin. He doesn't have a fix signature dance. He is very versatile. He does what the norms doesn't........usually. That's why it's not easy to get on his level. The way he dances is so unique and very detailed. Not everyone can even do MOVE like Taemin does.
Love your reaction and I agree with everything you said. The level of his artistry and love of his craft is beyond imaginable. Being in the industry for 13 years and still he find ways and means to showcase his message and talent in a new way.. From Main dancer whose voice didnt appear in their debut song, and become the other main vocalist who manage to hold unto his entire group for two years alone. Dedication to the highest level.. And now before enlisting, he wants to become a rapper too,, this kid really is something..
Taemin es mi máximo ídolo desde 2010, no me arrepiento de apoyar a este excelente artista y hermosa persona. Cada cosa que hace me llena de orgullo y me hace llorar a mares :'( es increíble su capacidad de tomar cada concepto como si fuera suyo. Para mí el mejor artista que ha tenido la industria del k-pop
Conocí el kPOP por el. Y luego a SHINee. Desde entonces son mis artistas favoritos del K-POP. TAEMIN es único en la industria. El ACE de SM ENTERTAIMENT. El REY del performer .El que lo conoce no puede dejar de seguirlo. ❤👑♠️
Amazing banger before he leaves, he's on his own league! I'll miss him so much! Please go back and react to his older stuff as well not just Move it'll show you his growth but also the fact he's always been amazing and so unique!
KPOP'S KING TAEMIN appeared to give a 360 ° turn to the music industry, he has such a creative mind to innovate and break many stereotypes with dances, performances, create a "T-pop" musical style that only he can do and of the highest level. He always leaves the fence high and it is always he who surpasses it again. Absolutely no one does it like him, no one.
I agree with everything, but 360° turn means you are doing a full circle, so you're at the exactly same point where you started. Nothing's new. I think you want to say he's changing the direction, not doing the same as others, so that would be 180° :) I had math classes a long time ago, so I can't explain it better lol
Taemin es un sicopata del Arte Gotico lo amooooooo... este es el mejor regalo para sus fans antes de enlistarse este 31/5 cada trabajo que saca es su marca perdonal se que no me equivoque en elegirlo cm mi Bias hace 7 años lo amoooooo 👑💎 Gracias chicos por sus reacciones besos 🇵🇦😘
Compatriota, confirmo, yo lo sigo desde q debutó con Shinee desde 2008, y desde entonces me tiene en el piso y no creo levantarme jamás, es tan unico nuestro Taemin
Hola socia xd me alegra saber que mas personas siguen a mi amado Taemin, lo sigo desde que debuto con Shinee, cuando vi a esos muchachitos debutar mi mirada quedo impregnada a un jovencito en especial y ese fue LEE TAEMIN, me llamo la atención su forma de bailar y su ternura, el era especial , desde ese momento quede enamorada hasta el dia de hoy, ver su crecimiento, su desarrollo tantos años, en aquel entonces tenia 16 años, hoy con 28 años lo sigo amando y admirando aun mas, mi bias supremo, el rey del kpop, una obra maestra , el mejor de todos, merece ser reconocido y cantar junto a los grandes, espero que esto despegue mucho mas y verlo cantar con cantantes como Bruno mars, entre otros, el sueño sigue....
He even doesn't have time to eat recently...he only has about a month to produce this but still, you can see how high quality it is. He is the greatest artist in the Kpop industry
He really leaves us with that banger 😭 The concept, the visuals, the choreo, the vocals, the lyrics just everything about this masterpiece slaps!!! Loved your reaction! (can you maybe also react to oneus' latest comback 'black mirror'? that would be fantastic 😊)
Taemin always looks like king, what a perfection! I hope he still can do promos or have live stage for this before his enlistment Btw, still waiting for Seo Moon Tak & Baekhyun - Hurt reaction :))
i guess u guys havent react to the most iconic TAEMIN MV - MOVE . this literally danced/covered by alot of idol, they still cover it! - WANT . this are is my fav. stylish, the choreo, everthing is so cool: - FAMOUS - THRISTY -SEXUALITY
I have to say your reaction by far is the best!!! because you actually went in depth and I feel he would have really appreciated that. Thank you for providing some more insight musically into the song as many of us don’t know!! ❤️♟🤍
I'm not sure if you guys know but all men between the age of 18 and 28 in Korea have to enlist and do mandatory military service for at least 1 year and a half. Taemin recently announced that he was going to enlist by the end of May, so he said he wanted to drop one last song before he leaves and this is it. So after this song we won't see him for a while.
Yess do watch taemin's interviews! He is honestly so smart and he knows exactly what kind of artist he wants to be seen as! Do check out 'Taemin the stage' interview and also the one with stacy nam!
You know it feels home seeing my fave reactors of OPM reacting to my fave soloist who is a member of my most (actually my "only") fave kpop group. UwU Also, I definitely agree with your view that the "fashion musically and visually is all from [Taemin's] head". Taemin is really involved, dedicated, and critical in all aspects of this mini album--concept, costume, accessories, etc.. All I could proudly say is that TAEMIN has been and will always the best soloist. He never downgrades the art he's creating. Kudos to you, Waleska and Efra! You're bringing joy to us. All the best! ^,^
It has been 13 years now for majority of us SHAWOLS and we are so proud of him. I still get lost for words every time 😶👀🙀🤯 He went all out for his new album; displaying his full-on Vampire OG Prince status to the world for the creative genius that he is experimenting with new concepts and tempos on top of killer choreography and fashion with each track. He hopes that it comforts his fans with his experimental album “ADVICE”, there’s so much going on connecting all his previous MVs together in this one video; showing his completed storyline 😭 comforting and killing his fans a week before his has to enlist on May 31st into the military for 1 1/2 to 2 years but I know deep down he deserves a long vacation physically and mentally to refresh himself for his return. I am still trying to put together my thoughts #ADVICE #TAEMIN #SHINee #SuperM
*Taemin never rests.* And that's a know fact! 1. When preparing/practicing for a solo song he was also shooting a music video for SHINee (and vice versa, happened multiple times); 2. After award performances (which the production and preparation are bigger than weekly ones), Taemin sometimes goes right back to the practice room to improve for the next performances. That's not a rumor, happened a few times and Taemin got "exposed" last year by the choreographer (which jokingly said he got out of work back to work. Taemin requested his presence in a practice right after the performance); 3. Taemin was known as the idol "living in the SM building" because he was ALWAYS practicing for days/weeks straight, simply not going home.
He'll enlist on 31st this month so he gave us his best comeback yet to keep us company. And pls, we want more shinee content 🙏🏻❣ Btw my holy trinity is taemin, jimin, kai too (the killer bff squad)

SAD KIDS for his 3rd album ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GxkhrVz29Lc.html this is the link for the video when Taemin talks about googling himself on the internet ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vj_MpNbdMYQ.html. He clicked and watched a video of himself on his first audition so cute he was a baby. I know You and Efra would love that.
Efra is right. Taemin will be enlisting by the end of this month. As for his involvement or artistic control over his music, the only time he wasn’t yet as involved was during his debut with his 1st mini album ACE. But after that, he started to have more control and influence over everything, including the choreography, costume design, mixing, video editing, and overall performance. Thank you so much for reacting to this comeback. I hope you would make a Taemin Special before he enlist. I suggest you watch not only his MVs but also some live concert performances and interviews. I suggest the following for you to learn more of him as an artist. 1. TAEMIN THE STAGE youtu.be G9jGIVzmscw 2. THE ARTIST: TAEMIN ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m2_MVBxmdyc.html 3.
