Beginning of deep dive 2 | TAEMIN 태민 'WANT' MV reaction

[@lolamontez5477]

Taemin is the most avant-garde and creative artist in kpop. He is a conceptual performer. You will see that with every comeback his dancing and clothing and demeanor is adapted to the story of his song. He chooses each of his song carefully. He is not a copy/paste puppet of a company like 99 % of the kpop artists. He insisted and insists to make his own music and style. And he has the courage to try sth new and to reinvent himself each and every time without losing his identity and signature. Only soloist in kpop who I really stan. An exceptional, one in a million artist, dancer, performer. Many compare him to MJ (and of course he is very much influenced by him) but for me he has more from Prince or David Bowie with his dark and creative music. There is no one who can be compared to him or even come near to his talent in kpop. Others may be more popular or have millions of views but he creates ART and not mainstream music.

👑Taemin creates real art. ☝🏼You will not see anyone like him, Taemin invented his own genre. But there are so many imitators, and their fans are often very jealous and try to hold Taemin back, stop him from shining, because they see him as a threat. Despite the fact that Taemin never buys votes and streaming and always performs the most difficult choreography with a clear conscience and always sings live at concerts. Taemin is always evolving and gets better and better with each album. I would never stay listening to kpop, I lost all hope until I saw Taemin. He is amazing, his charisma and talent are so mesmerizing and I feel like I am flying away to another world, to the mysterious world of his art.💜✨️

Just so you know, Taemin's new OST was released today (it's called Bones) and it's amazing!

Want was actually the first Taemin MV that had subs (non of the Japanese have them, even the newer ones...), SM started putting them in 2019.

In "Want" Taemin is supposed to be portraying Lucifer. That's why he seems to have a love affair with those snakes. (The ones he is holding are real snakes.) And, like Lucifer, he is supposed to be seducing the audience and the girl using his devilish powers, which is why the choreography looks like he is slithering like a snake. The gate you see him standing in front of is supposed to be a representation of "The Gates of Hell" from French artist Auguste Rodin. Taemin is Catholic, and most of his MVs showcase his faith as it tells the story using numerous Biblical references. Fun fact: That's not just any female dancer in Taemin's "Want" MV. The girl you see highlighted in the shadows is Yoo JiMin (Karina) who is the leader and main dancer of aespa, which is also an SM Entertainment group. She participated in this song as a rookie trainee even before aespa's debut. ("Want" was released in February 2019 and aespa didn't debut until November 2020.) She also participated in some of his live comeback stage performances and she was in his "Want" dance practice video. "Want" is one of those songs that the lyrics take the song and performance up to the next level. :D The lyrics give everything a whole other feel and it helps to explain the images and story you see being told in the MV. Many people think that "Want" has a vampire vibe, and I can see where some might get the vampire feel from this MV. After all, one of Taemin's nicknames is SHINee's eternal vampire because in some performances and MVs, the way he looks and the aesthetic of the performance gives him a vampire image. But if you understand the story he is trying to tell within the MV, it's much deeper than that. The style and aesthetic in "Want" is just the kind of vibe we have all come to expect from Taemin. He has a very sensual/sexy way of moving and, as a soloist, it's kind of his signature thing.That is why all his songs are titles such as "Danger," "Soldier" "Sexuality," "Tiger," "Press Your Number," "Guess Who," "Mystery Lover," "Hypnosis," "Crazy 4 U," "Flame of Love," " Under My Skin," "Thirsty," "Want," "Criminal," etc. or "Ace," "Already", "Door, "Pretty Boy," "Move" "Artistic Groove," "Famous," "Idea," etc. Each song is meant to show you exactly why he is one of the best in the industry even just by their titles. I find it interesting that all of his songs, with the titles alone, tell you exactly what Taemin is all about. If you look at all the titles of his songs, you will see that the titles convey one of two things about him, either painting a picture of his sexy and sensual onstage personality, or they explain his dedication and passion as an artist. Taemin is very unique and never does the same thing twice, he is constantly switching up his sound and dance style. However, you will see that it will always be very Taemin-like. SHINee's whole concept is that they are SM's experimental boy group, which means that they are almost always the first to do everything and they can never do it the same way again. So when it comes to SHINee or Taemin's solo work it will always be completely different then what you have ever seen or heard in the past and will be nothing like anything they do in the future. That's why every song they release, even on the same album, is so unique. SHINee and its members are who reinvent the Kpop industry with ever release of theirs and they are who everyone else looks to, to show them what the next trend will be. Over the years, many songwriters/producers/choreographers, etc. have said they wait to see what SHINee's or Taemin's or Jonghyun's or Key's or Onew's or Minho's next comeback is like before they decide what to do next. The SHINee members set the standard and the rest of the industry follows suit.

This comeback tells the story of the first sin, Eve getting seduced, and Taemin plays the role of the snake/the devil. Fun fact - The snake that's ON Taemin is called Frenk, Taemin said he was very cute and he loved going into Taemin's shirt or warmth...
