Lucifer is one of the most iconic kpop songs together with Mirotic (TVXQ), Sorry Sorry (Super Junior), Gee Gee (Girls Generation), Fantastic Baby (Bigbang) & Growl (EXO). All these songs shaped Kpop music as it is now.
There's a reason why SM Entertainment get so much praise for their groups it's called the PowerHouse vocal company. The history of the groups of how they debuted is really simple. The icons and legends of kpop H.O.T shinhwa . Fly to the sky are the first generation. TVXQ. Super junior. Shinee. Second generation. EXO. NCT units are 3th generation. Super m and Wayv all right after. Now we have the two new groups NCT wish Japanese unit. RllZE
Lucifer!!! she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment 🔥 2:55 Shinee's Minho is a Choi. The incredibly famous Lee Minho is an actor, one of the biggest and most popular in Korea (and a lot of east Asia)
Gotchu with the SM Town genealogy! 1996 - H.O.T - first ever K-pop idol boy group - started off the 1st gen of K-pop 1997 - S.E.S - first ever K-pop girl group 1998 - Shinhwa - still the longest-running active group with the original lineup intact 1999 - Fly to the Sky 2000 - BoA - the absolute queen herself 2003 - TVXQ - the legends themselves, started off the 2nd gen of K-pop 2005 - CSJH The Grace - girl group that honestly could’ve had a career like Mamamoo if only the debuted in another later generation 2005 - Super Junior 2007 - Girls Generation 2008 - SHINee 2009 - f(x) - the quirky queens 2012 - EXO - started off the 3rd gen of K-pop 2014 - Red Velvet 2016 - NCT 2020 - Aespa 2023 - RIIZE
SHINee debuted in 2008 which makes them 2nd gen and they are a previously 5 member group, currently 4 member group as Jonghyun passed away in 2017, he is dearly missed and SHINee will forever be remembered as 5 ❤ Members are: Onew (Lee Jinki) - Main vocalist, Leader - born 1989 (oldest) Jonghyun (Kim Jonghyun) - Main vocalist - born 1990 Key (Kim Kibum) - Lead vocalist, Lead dancer, Lead rapper - born 1991 Minho (Choi Minho) - Main rapper, Sub vocalist - born 1991 Taemin (Lee Taemin) - Main dancer, Lead vocalist - born 1993 (Maknae) Songs to check out next would be their most recent songs Hard, Don't Call Me, Atlantis (these unfortunately don't have Jonghyun in them) and some of their older stuff like Married to the Music, Sherlock, View, Replay (these do have Jonghyun). All the members do have solo content which is all incredible but obviously you'll react to those later down the line.
No, SHINee's "Lucifer" was the very first every dance practice video in 2010. "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" came out in 2012. However, unofficially, SHINee's "Replay" dance practice video, which was filmed by the members for fun shortly after debut, was SHINee's first dance practice video.
In SHINee's "Lucifer" MV the "smoke" or "light trail" you see is supposed to represent the aura of a girl who has devilish powers like Lucifer, who is trying to possess them and take over their lives. As the English lines in the song say, "Loveaholic, robotronic ... her whisper is the Lucifer." (They are using auto tune because they are supposed to be "robotronic"-ly controlled by the girl who is "The Lucifer." So the auto tune is meant to make them sound robotic.) In other words, the woman or girl they are talking about is so desirable that she is like Lucifer and you have to use all your willpower just to resist her wiles. Onew (pronounced Oh-New in English or On-New with a Korean accent) is the leader and he is the one with the vest with the fur on the back, Jonghyun is the one with the backless vest with the crazy high note, Key has the side of his head shaved, Minho is the tallest one who is the rapper with the short hair and Taemin is the one with the red pants and the long hair. In the MV you see them trying to fight against Lucifer's powers and resist her attempts to try to make them bend to her will, etc. That's why in the choreography you see all the robotic moves because they are showing how "Lucifer" is trying to control them like a robot. For example, they put their wrists together like they are being handcuffed to show how she is trapping them, and they vibrate to show how they are being manipulated by "Lucifer" and they are trying to resist her powers, etc. FYI: That vibration you saw them do is 100% them actually shaking like that, there aren't any camera tricks. If you pay attention when they perform "Lucifer" live, you will see them do that exact same thing. :D When they explain to people how to do that move they say you have to "tense all your muscles and then pretend like you are being startled." Just wait until you see some more of Taemin's solo performances and discover how much of an expert he is a popping and ticking. He is considered one of the best poppers in the industry, and he can literally isolate every joint and muscle individually and make any part of his body vibrate at warpspeed. LOL we have no idea why they had to be dancing in front of a sports car, but that was kind of an iconic thing that Kpop companies did back then in a lot of their MVs. The group would dance around a fancy car to show off their coolness and to give the video a more futuristic, expensive looking aesthetic. "Lucifer" was released in 2010 -- more than 13 years ago -- so this was just the look that a lot of MVs had back then, in part because everyone was following SHINee's lead. Just take a look at TVXQ's, Super Junior's, Infinite's or 2PM's MVs, etc. from around that time and you will see a similar look and style. SHINee was setting trends in the industry with "Lucifer." I'm not sure why people are often so thrown by their hairstyles and outfits in this MV. :D I think they are actually all pretty cool for doing something different that sets them apart from everyone else in the industry. That is what makes SHINee legends and why "Lucifer" is such an iconic song and dance.You're not going to remember a group or a song if they look and sound the same as everyone else, you remember them for standing out and not being afraid to be unique. SHINee are also known for never being afraid to experiment with everything they do, including their style, and as the fashionista and stylist of the group, Key is always looking for ways to be unique, so his head was really shaved on the one side. What you see is his hair was bleached blond on the side and then shaved down to his scalp. He is known for always being unique and wanting to stand out. That's why Key's style is often just straddling the edge of outrageous, but somehow always manages to look cool. Fun fact: I think one reason why Minho's hair is so short at this time is because their previous comeback was with their song "Ring Ding Dong," and all the members had pretty long, shaggy hairstyles in that MV. However, Minho has never liked having long hair. So, I think for "Lucifer" Minho decided to rebel and go really short. This was also the era where Taemin had long hair and it made him one of the most popular of the members at the time, especially with their Japanese fans. The Japanese culture really embraces men with long hair and the members said that he was one of the most popular at the time because of his style. Taemin with long hair is so iconic and many in the fandom were really sad when he eventually cut his hair. So, in this MV, Taemin had just turned 17. Onew and Jonghyun are 20 and Key and Minho are 18. (SHINee debuted in 2008) If you want to see where SHINee truly shines, if you haven't yet, you have to check out a performance of "Lucifer" Live in concert at their SHINee World Concert III (SWC3) in Seoul from 2014, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fm5n8Q2XO34.html, and/or their "Ring Ding Dong" and "Lucifer" set at their SHINee World Concert V (SWC5) in Seoul in 2016, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mtFK7FxKdLs.html. This is a perfect example of how you can tell they are singing live and killing it every time. SHINee doesn't need auto tune, and if you hear them perform the song live, they often don't use it. "Lucifer" is actually known as one of the most difficult songs and dances to cover because of its tutting and popping and for the fact that it has a very fast paced beat with dance moves that are very sharp and precise, which are designed to hit every beat of the song. (They actually refer to that tutting formation as a bug or worm. Their arms are supposed to look like the legs of a creature.) And the song itself is very complicated with the songs wide range of notes and flow. Many amateurs have thought "Lucifer" looks like one of SHINee's more simple songs and dances. But the minute they try to sing the song and/or dance the choreography, they soon discover that it is way more complicated than they thought. It only looks and sounds simple, because SHINee makes it look that way. Check out this clip of SHINee teaching a group of actors and comedians "Lucifer" as part of a challenge on the variety show "Invincible Baseball Team," ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--TLCK7KbLus.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0V02cQwYLMQ.html. It's funny because when they came to meet SHINee to start the practice, Jonghyun asked them why they chose this song of all songs, and they said because it looks manly and they thought it was fairly easy to cover. But the first thing Jonghyun said to them, while laughing, was "oh no, actually it's one of our most difficult and it took us extra time to really perfect it." :D You definitely should check out the dance practice. SHINee's "Lucifer" dance practice was the very first dance practice video ever in the Kpop industry, released specifically for fans. SHINee is the group that started the trend and their "Lucifer" dance practice video is why dance practice videos are even a thing today. :D It was the very first dance practice video to go viral. Back then, dance practice videos were filmed for the group and artists to watch to help them remember the moves and to fix mistakes, etc. They weren't intended for a mass audience. But SM realized that fans were starting to try and copy SHINee's choreography, so they decided to film a dance practice and release it to the public. SHINee's dance practice videos became so popular that other companies and groups started to do the same and show off their choreography by releasing dance practices too. But like everything SHINee does, they were the first.
The moment ,the song , the history ! Shinee is back ! Back ! Back ! And Simon feel proud to have the SM channel name , we love you and SM artists too much 😅it just happened that SM stans are very supportive of every SM group
As a non-Korean speaking Shawol, you are correct... I know every word of Lucifer's chorus and you can't help but sing and do the dance moves. SHINee has some bangers... you're in for a ride... their live performances are amazing! You'll love them! OMG... "and then somehow Mark will be there" 🤣 You've spoke it into existence and someone from SM is probably drafting a proposal on how to debut Mark into every group now.
Please continue to do more SHINee. As someone who is both Shawol and Carat, there's a lot of similar characteristics you will like. I love seventeen but SHINee is my heart They did a live rock version of this song at the Toyoko dome this week that was 🔥 They have a lot of material, lots of vaiewty shows but honestly their live performances are where I would start
At the time (and still this day), Lucifer is considered one of the most difficult choreography in k-pop, and push male idol groups to have more complex dance moves. Fun trivia: one the composer of the song is Bebe Rexha (the singer/composer), she did the demo when she was 17. Another suggestion: there is a live performance from SHINee World Concert V with Ring Ding Dong + Lucifer (Remix), it's amazing. The long-high note, Jonghyun did that live! Couple a days ago (24 and 25th Feb), they did two concerts in Japan (Tokyo Dome), it sold out in seconds (+100k, yeap, 100,000). Yes, SHINee is 2nd generation and EXO is 3rd.
I have heard only good things about Shinee and have tried to check them out multiple times but somehow never got the opportunity to listen to their music. I am going to join you guys on your Shinee journey and listen to their discography, this is so exciting 🤩
So shinee actually has the first ever dance practise video in kpop which was for this song lucifer and is iconic. In terms of sm main groups genealogy: 1st gen: H.O.T., S.E.S., Shinhwa 2nd gen: TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee, f(x) 3rd gen: EXO, Red Velvet, NCT 4th gen: (technically WayV and SuperM), Aespa, Riize
This was the song that introduced me to SHINee! The dance practice for this song is the first uploaded dance practice in kpop (i believe). Onew is one of my S-tier vocalists. He's one of only two vocalists who can make me cry with his voice. Wait until you hear his rendition of Nessun Dorma. Minho is Choi Minho, not Lee. Taemin is the luxurious hair. One of my favorite songs by them is "Please Don't Go", a duet between Jonghyun and Onew.
SHERLOCKKKKK NEXT ❤🎉🎉 Congratulations on getting to SHINee, it's the start of a new era for you guys. There was the pre-shinee era and now it's the shawol era 😂
I love Shinee!! It took me a while to get into them though because one of the members passed away in 2017 and I didn’t want to find any sad stuff about him for a while. But now I like them.
SHINee, is a coined word and it is a combination of shine, meaning light, and the suffix ee, therefore meaning "one who receives the light", their fandom name is called SHINee world ( shawols ) and basically they they are the world that gives SHINee the light
Start with the most iconic k-pop debut ever Replay then Sherlock. Definitely take a look at Key as a soloist!! Also the fabulous duo of Minho and Key for extra content.
SHINee is pronounced like shiny, as in shiny stars or shiny diamonds. It means the ones who receive light and we SHINee World (the name of SHINee's fandom) are the ones who provide them with the light. (Their name was designed with the same principles as the word employee, which has a double ee because an employee receives employment from an employer.) The double ee in SHINee's name is also used to show just how brilliantly they SHINe(e). Their official symbol is a diamond because, like a diamond, they absorb the light they receive and reflect it back to the world to make everything that light touches SHINe(e) even more magnificent. And when you hold the diamond up to a solid surface the shadow it makes is a five-point star, each point representing the five members of SHINee. (And that's not a metaphor, the diamond has been shaped in such a way that it literally reflects the shape of a star.)
Thank you for checking out SHINee!! The SM genealogy as requested (sans 1st gen as it is so complicated) With the loosely "paired" BGs and GGs for each era: TVXQ/DBSK and CJSH The Grace - the acapella vocal powerhouses Super Junior (SUJU) and Girls Generation (SNSD) - lots of members, extremely funny at variety, strong main vocalists SHINee and f(x) - the experimental slightly oddball groups, strong dancers as well as singers EXO and Red Velvet - Beginning of lore and concepts, you know their strengths and amazing success already! NCT (U, 127, Dream, WayV, WIsh) and Aespa - Neo and AI concepts, "noise" music Riize and SMNGG (debuting sometime this year) - fresh boy/girl next door concepts? Too soon to tell!
Shinee plays around with lots of different types of music - I think the only box you can put them and their discography in is one of outstanding vocals and killer live performances (dancing, stage presence, and live vocals that had other groups watching their rehearsals from their earliest years). I believe they have a lot of respect within the kpop world and have inspired a lot of other groups and individual performers. They also served as mentors to some extent for EXO, which debuted after SHINee. I love their music from all years, but I have a special place in my soul for everything from Replay on up through 2017, with Jonghyun. MVs are great, but the true key to SHINee is live performances; the Shinee World concerts are excellent examples of this and rarely get blocked). Shinee World 4 and SW 5 are particularly iconic. All 5 members have outstanding solo discographies as well. For other content... The Shinee Weekly Idol episodes tend to be very funny (I generally watch tgeearlier episodes most often, the ones with all 5 members). Shinee also did an engaging vlive to promote 1 of 1. There are also a lot of funny moments compilations as well as several really well done appearances on Korean SNL.
Fun fact. Bebe Rexha (the American artist) wrote this hook and sound scape as a demo when she was 17 years old and submitted it and SM took it and used it for Lucifer. She is credited on the song. (Soobin from TXT loves her so much. They are good friends and he always greets her happily at award shows when they're at the same ones).
To REALLY experience SHINee you HAVE to react to their Live performances. performances from their SWC concerts are safe to react to, especially feom SWC3, SWC4 and SWC5.
If you want to know the meaning of early Kpop songs, there are YT lyrics videos with various translations (not always the best for early Kpop tho) and even coloured lines for the single singers. The first SHINee song whose video was released with official subs was from 2021, Don't Call Me (we only have Replay lyrics because the mv was remastered).
the group dat drag me into kpop in 2008!!!! SHINee...🥰 This is Choi Minho...Lee Minho is an actor n yes Straykids leeknow has got the same name and surname with him.....but SHINee Minho is also an actor though!😅 Taemin is the guy with d long hair! Taemin is the Idol of Idols
My favorite songs right now are Replay, Don’t Call Me, and Hard. My favorite show that they were on is honestly a show called Hello Baby where they took care of a little boy who I think was about 2 years old. It’s a show where K-pop groups take care of a kid or more under the age of 5 for a few months I think. They basically learn how to be parents. It’s a good show. I watched the season with an all the guy groups. lol
SM family tree 1st Gen: HOT, SES, Shinhwa, Fly to the Sky Early 2nd Gen: BoA, TVXQ, The Grace, SuJu Late 2nd Gen: Girls Generation, Shinee, F(X) 3rd Gen: EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, NCT127, NCT Dream 4th Gen: WayV, Aespa 5th Gen: Riize There are some collab units such as SM Ballad, SM The Performance, Younique, SuperM, GOT the Beat. And then the many, many, many group units like SuJu M, SuJu KRY, SuJu T, EXO CBX, SNSD TaeTiSeo, etc.
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Taemin had the long hair, lol. Red pants. Minho was on his right on my view. He was also the 1st rapper. Lucifer is not bad. My boy Taemin got great moves for the maknae of the group. Yeah the choreo is nice here. Love Taemin's pretty hair. The layered look really suits him. He so pretty. Best smile to me as well. Like hit fit. They look like bad boys, lol. Love Replay. It's my fav song by them. SM actually does have a universe. Shinee i hear has a universe and hidden stuff. U can see some of it in Don't Call Me i think. Don't remember the storyline but Bang PD used to work for SM. He took that idea and used it for his agency too. Genius. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
SHINee don't have any powers or any lore etc. They change their style and concept with every comeback, somehow keeping the essence of the SHINee sound. Also, you should try to give SuJu a chance. They have some great songs. I especially love Spy and Burn the Flooor.
Agree. With SHINee, they don't have any lore or anything as foundation to build their concept. They develop their identity by their distinctive sound - which Korean music critics lovingly called as SHINee sound. Strong vocals and fabulous harmony are some of their biggest strengths. It's almost unfair that they're also known as some of the kpop greatest performers. SHINee's live concerts are top tier gold ones and always sold out. Try to watch some of their live performances, there's a reason why people request them a lot among those new and much younger kpop groups. SHINee is really that good 😊
Oh since you reacted to this and they also have NCT groups left to react, please react to the version that the NCT WISH boys sang in NCT LASTART. Even as trainees they left the bar high in terms of talent.
Welcome to kpop when it was actually kpop. Anything pass 3rd gen, idk wtf it is but its not kpop. Also the fact that you were talking about taemins hair then when on to ask who* taemin was made me chuckle 😂
I don’t really get it the meaning of “ suju is too much for me” but superjunior have the best vocals line in k-pop and also many banger songs and it would be loss though of you not reacting to them. I am just saying 😅
