TAEMIN 태민 'Guilty' MV & Killing Voice | Reaction

[@vw2905]

This song is so haunting… just chills… Taemin invokes emotions that are just….. no words….love him to the moon and back

[@lilypainter666]

I agree

[@agatho_loves_music]

Indeed, and there are real reasons why we got more chills from Taemin this round. I made a GUILTY explainer for those who care about what Taemin is really trying so hard to say.

[@dibidibidis525]

Idk if you know this but "adorable" is his favorite word 😂 so when you said it i was sooo happy bcs taem really is an adorable ray of sunshine to us!

[@caitlinbensonn]

😭🥹💕

[@neomuneochicken4585]

same 😭

[@faireefairee]

Adorable devil? Devilish angel? Taemin is all that in the freshly uploaded The Rizzness Performance/ MV !!

[@sarahcourtney8066]

I love the way he says it ‘ Odorable’ so sweet!

[@hakku0712]

i saw someone say "it's like taemin is singing the part of the abuser and dancing the part of the abused and i can't believe how hauntingly beautiful it is" and i couldn't agree more

[@moonlightbae_]

Taemin *NEVER* disappoints!! ❤️‍🔥

[@tiannaferguson1683]

Facts

[@lilypainter666]

Facts

[@peanut2864]

Taemin describes the song as being suggestive of a toxic relationship - he’s both the abuser and the victim, it’s a never ending cycle that neither is able (or wanting either) to break.

[@karla1118]

ART!!!!!! I’m so proud of Taemin.

[@QuestionableK-]

You can't really say nothing about Taemin's skills,he's really an ACE. Singing? Amazing. Dancing? Out of this world. Stage presence? Always been there since 2008. Bro is the whole package. Like imagine being one of the top 3 best dancers in the industry and being also THIS good at singing? And the fact that he never stopped improving even when his schedules were packed shows us how much work he put in what he does. I'm very fond of him as an artist,I'll keep supporting him forever I guess,all while trying to not die of heart attack whenever I see one of his comeback or performances☠💎

[@kimlee9322]

Well said. ❤

[@zaxrohusenova]

First of the top 3 best dancers! Actually, he is the King of dance 🔥

[@annisarachmawati9998]

Yesshh in the end of the always taemin in my heart since 2008❤ keep supporting him forever

[@MissConceptionOfSHINee]

If your heart has recovered from recent Taemin heart attacks, you may want get your heart attacked again by a new video Taemin Guilty MV Explained Breakdown ...

[@QuestionableK-]

@@MissConceptionOfSHINee Except for the fact that I don't think I will ever recover from Taemin's attacks and,with the fact that Shinee will attend Melon music awards this year,I don't think in any case it will happen soon...I saw the video after you wrote about it in the comment,while I agree with a lot of things and I was shocked by the easter eggs I still have my opinion than there's more of what was analyzed but yes,I was heart attacked again,thank you☠☠

[@neomuneochicken4585]

people don't know that Taemin has A LOT of absolutely BEAUTIFUL ballads and Killing Voice is watched by a lot of people in Korea who aren't necessarily fans of the artists and ballads are widely loved by Korean public, so I think it's because of that why he chose to sing a lot of ballads there and also to show off his vocals (because yeah some people STILL don't know what an amazing singer he is)

[@neomuneochicken4585]

btw besides all this the songs he chose are also very VERY dear to him and the fandom and have lots of stories behind them, so I was just crying through the whole thing 🥲

[@lovepotionsinc]

Taemin was inspired by Hermann Hesse's novel Demian. His own work is to a large extent about himself even when he's addressing his "audience." Thanks for the great reaction. Really enjoyed it.

[@jonghyunoutdid]

except from demian, he also took inspiration from George Bataille’s Erotism !

[@maplecake]

Taemin did mention that Guilty is about a toxic relationship, a bad relationship, but damn, now that you mention a deeper meaning, I gotta think about it 😮 I agree that it reminded me of Criminal! The lyrics in Criminal are about being trapped in a screwed up relationship and loving it, even if you're destroyed in the process, and Guilty is about manipulating and toying and controlling someone, and knowing it's wrong but it's so much fun. To me, they almost feel like the two opposing sides of the same relationship? Okay, I gotta finish watching the reaction video now 😆

[@jwhun2430]

I fall in love with this man again and again

[@proudpotterfan]

We are all so immensely privileged to get to witness the way Taemin processes his own trauma through art like he does not have to do that but he is so open and generous with himself and his heart and it’s part of what makes him so special

[@thespianoge]

Rise is one of my all time favorites. It’s epic AF and his vocals really pop off

[@J_Rev]

Another MASTERPIECE from Taemin! He’s the best soloist in KPop period!

[@Auntie67]

Caitlin, by no means it’s a diss, but you not knowing a lot of Taemin’s songs shows how incredibly vast and diverse his discography is. That people can actually fall in love with him and his music not even realizing how much more he actually has to offer. I absolutely adore his entire discography and once you go through it you discover how Taemin is actually such a ballad person. You can find incredible ballads on each and every album he’s released. Rise is also one of my favorites. You have to watch his live performance from Sirius concert in Japan. It was just breathtaking! Thanks for a great reaction!

[@caitlinbensonn]

Haha I didn’t feel dissed one bit! I agree with you! 💕 - I hope I can dive deeper into his music more when I feel ready to! So excited!

[@leydarachadey465]

Solo quiero verlo en su nuevo concierto. Metamorfosis. Dijo que era algo nunca visto en Corea imagínate. Estoy DE acuerdo contigo. Sus discografia es hermosa. única.

[@agatho_loves_music]

Taemin is like a rose with neverending petals, you peel some there are more fragrant bits underneath. GUILTY has so far been analyzed to death but remains inconclusive, and can't blame anyone for that - song meaning lost in translation is the oldest K-pop problem. I could write a thousand words or I could make an explainer video, so I did, subtitled at all, to attempt to show Taemin is not just a legend class performer, but also a gutsy, brilliant, subversive video art genius. Let's do Taemin justice, he tried so hard to say specific things, let's hear him out.

[@xatato2066]

His voice is getting better and better as time passes by ❤ also his ballad songs are so beautiful, meaningful and heart touching ❤ Rise is a very special one.

[@Sleepinwhite95]

I went to a music bank years ago, Taemin sang Hypnosis and performed Sayonara Hitori. I literally cried. Everyone was crying tbh. I wasn't a fan back then, but I became his fan since that day. The way he performs is incredible.

[@tuyenhoang3810]

No one could be like TAEMIN TAEMIN is the different level forever. His vocal is so insane THE KING of kings

[@dknown]

I feel like most of the critiques about this is because it doesn't sound like your typical K-Pop song... That's exactly the point! Taemin is an artist, this whole thing is an art piece, not made to be a typical Tik Tok dance song.

[@riahlexington]

YES

[@arle_91]

Taemin is the king of soloists, we really had to wait for him to come back to witness real music and art. I would give an award to this song as everything... mv, vocals, dance. He is the best soloist ever. mark my words

[@k.5755]

That Hate Everything cover is my roman empire. It's hauntingly good, and then he's so cute when he messed up

[@decemberblue9307]

Taemin is one of the two artists that make me feel like I'm in a different dimension when I listen to his music. The other one being DPR Ian and guess what! Taemin said that he'd love to collab with Ian and I am manifesting with my entire life for this collab to happen. I would be in my grave

[@devakibhagwat6146]

I always keep going back to the Hate Everything cover, too!! Also his vocal technique is genuinely SO well developed, it annoys me how much his singing skills are slept on, just because he's a dancing legend

[@leydarachadey465]

Pienso igual que tu. Me encanta ver sus conciertos. Hay puedes admirar lo maravilloso ARTISTA que es .ya quierover su nuevo concierto en Diciembre METAMORFOSIS.

[@gabriellahuszti5855]

Taemin💯💖❤️‍🔥

[@alimoyano8104]

I was thinking a lot about the concept and I think it is about the conflict of living ones truth within institutions, in a broad spectrum, how innocence is stripped away, and how rare is to be free, loved the liberté shirt, and well the whole art direction is stunning, this album is pure gold.

[@Saddlemomma]

We're on the same wavelength.

[@riahlexington]

Yes, that’s it!

[@jungkooksexposedtiddieinon1.28]

Our cult leader is BACK!!!!!!!! The world is gonna be ok😍

[@Mads_7]

Taemin is indeed an art himself! He said during the press con that 'Guilty' was a contender for the title track during his last comeback but the timing didn't seem right so they went with 'Advice'. Nonetheless, I'm so happy he brought back this masterpiece. As always loved your reaction🫶

[@luluscrooge3891]

It's honestly fitting, given he just got out of the military. I know the song may not have that deep of an interpretation that's closest to his personal experiences, but it's a good coincidence (and with all the news about him suffering mentally during his service).

[@kristinanahkala8124]

🔥💕❤️TAEMIN💕❤️🔥 He has this goosebump AURA around him always doing everything perfect🔥

[@RiiinOwO]

As someone who’s followed his solo career since he debuted, I was sobbing during the dingo man😭😭😭😭😭

[@SantyNewLee]

i find myself lucky to be living in the time of Taemin.

[@AmirJan96]

I am starting to get Guilty about my obsession with the song since I started listening to it since yesterday

[@lalisa_is_here]

Rise is definitely one of his most epic bsides. And yes, you NEED to get to his discography. The 2 acts of Never Gonna Dance Again are GEMS. Also, I really need to thank you, your reactions make my days way better

[@keyaraLewis]

The way you started levitating at 9:37 😭💀Gurl I feel you

[@soloscape3]

Pls do a Deep dive for Taemin's discography! I love your reactions and his songs are so worth it, he actually has a lot of beautiful ballads

[@TokioLotus]

Taemin is always just pure art. I believe he honestly has a love hate relationship with the industry he's in and how it makes him feel. Losing his bandmate and friend, dealing with hardships in the army, anti fans putting meanings and words in his intentions. Advice was about him seeking his own path, and a lot of Taemin's songs sound so sweet on the outside but actually have dark or melancholic lyrics, that's the 'creepy' you pick up on. I tell newcomers to his songs to expect talent to the most exalted degree and duality like you've never seen.

[@missuscharming]

WAITED FOR THIS REACTION!!! Taemin just creating fire everywhere 🔥

[@karinaspak4230]

Taemin´s ballads are the best with his angelic calming voice.

[@castanhoc3369]

Oh Caitlin, you were exposed to the absolute amaziness of Taemin's b-sides. I feel like they're focusing on showcasing Taemin's vocals this comeback. He was also in Lee mujin service. I LOVE it bc everyone knows he is a legendary dancer but not everyone KNOWS how good of a singer he is. Rise is BEAUTIFUL. The Korean name of it is Icarus, the lyrics are GORGEOUS and so is the live performance of it, I fully recommend it! Guilty is the best release of this year for me. And Taemin released a 1:30 minutes trailer with a prequel of the storyline of the mv bc it wouldn't all fit in it and it helps a lot to understand the story he is telling! Great reaction as always!! ❤️

[@riahlexington]

Oh yes!!!! That trailer is incredible!! Guilty tells of a loss of innocence.

[@luizgustavoox]

I know Taemin gave us a lot of bangers throughout his discography, but I gotta tell ya: Rise is, from the first time I heard it, my FAVORITE song. And I'm not saying "favorite Taemin's song", just... favorite SONG. You should REALLY deep dive into his b-sides, because they are IMMACULATE.

[@ingridreis949]

✨️✨️✨️✨️The King of kpop is back ✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@mondaytosaturday1013]

as someone who has been following shinee since their debut it has been an ABSOLUTE joy to watch taemin grow into an artist of his own. nobody is doing it like he does. he deserves to be discovered by more people and his music needs to go further.

[@jmpresco]

I loved this MV and I love Taemin. Guilty is a masterpiece. I agree with you that Taemin's work is usually way deeper than what it initially appears to be. My theory actually is that this was about his time in the military because if you remember there was an article at one point that he need to be moved from one post because he was having such severe anxiety where he was. This whole video showcases the fear, confusion, lack of control, claustrophobic and inner struggle he must have had to endure while in service. I am so glad our baby is back but I am also sad that it hurt him so deeply.

[@nims3445]

OMG YES!! Rise is SUCH an amazing song!!! Ooh please check out the live performance of Rise (from his Sirius concert). I promise you’ll be EVEN MORE blown away!

[@ItadakimashuU]

Ur so Cuuuute, she says in the cutest voice 😂. Taemin is on 🔥

[@theresamultistan4549]

Taemin is my ULT for a reason. I loved GUILTY -the entire album was brilliant! My comfort song while Taemin was gone was Pansy. I love that song so much. I really enjoyed your reaction!

[@tanishanyree7762]

Two things 😂. 1. Taemin is everything to me and one of my favorite vocalist ever (Heaven by him is immaculate!) 2. We reacted the same way when he said “Press It” the way he did 😂

[@mayko2468]

no cuz I've never really checked out Taemin before but I heard this song and THE VOCALS??? and all the ways he uses his voice in Guilty... IMMEDIATELY went in my playlist Like I had heard of him being a really good dancer but this song immediately made him my favorite soloist

[@muazzamasaidova9318]

Every time! Every time! Every tiiiiiiiiiiiiime I watch your reaction to Taemin I fall more and more in love with you 😂😍❤️

[@nualaseamus]

Taemin's voice is gorgeous on this.

[@scurinca]

Taemin is on another level

[@skeletonflower4636]

He slayed us with this comeback. Now i want a shinee killing voice too ✨️

[@lemonlady3398]

GOD OF KPOP

[@tiarakorn]

I really love Taemin, his time in the military left a void in me, only filled when he came back. There is no other like him in this entire universe. I really wish that one day, I can be in one of his solo concert

[@xoalsophx]

you should check the mv trailer too! it’s a masterpiece!!!! it provides a bit more context to the mv!

[@caitlinbensonn]

Probably check it out on my own 😊

[@guzalstar2731]

Your reaction is crazy, taemin is the best always and never disappoint shawols

[@OT54ever]

Taemin The KING is back ❤

[@goingback2u]

this song is literally award worthy

[@shoshoshuffle]

i LOVED this comeback, i love the whole concept of the poisoned apple, corruption etc it fits him soo much

[@sshelbyshoee]

I was waiting for you to react to this! I knew you'd love it. Taemin has talked about the literature that inspired this concept: Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille and Demian by Hermann Hesse. The fans are also seeing influences from Lord of the Flies. But the director said that his sole inspiration for the MV was Demian. I adore the 3/4 time signature! It's a waltz, a cycle he can't get out of. And his vocals are so much more relaxed and natural! From the boy with no lines to this. So proud. This comeback was stunning! Thank you for reacting to it ❤

[@anneibaka7537]

Omg I was wondering about Lord of the flies thnx for explaining.

[@sshelbyshoee]

@@anneibaka7537 np! As a lit/creative writing major I'm losing my mind over this cb lol

[@lootee4139]

His solo discography is epic and flawless. It's a spiritual journey. My favorite songs aren't even in his killing voice playlist!

[@kh-sp1sm]

17:07 you're actually right they - shinees acc - talked about it before the song dropped, the song is about himself

[@elliephantastic-qy3hb]

All of Taemin's songs whether the title tracks nor his B sides were gold!!!! He just stands there beautifully and opens his mouth to sings just like he ate cds damn what a KING👑👑👑👑 i missed him he is finally back😘

[@111steph]

I feel goosebumps every time I listen to this song and it’s been a lot. Guilty is so painfully beautiful. The rest of the album is so good. It’s a no skip. His VOCALS and dancing are amazing!! I’m super proud of Taemin I feel like crying 😭🩵🩵🩵🩵 His cover of Hate everything made me fall in love even more of him❤️‍🩹

[@tylertaec]

Taemin just outdo himself!!! This song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jessi5288]

The mood trailer was art and kind of gives a great clue to a story being told. I think the choreo is part of the story, and I try and watch it to see what’s being said through it but I keep getting distracted by how beautiful it looks.

[@leydarachadey465]

TAEMIN es maravilloso GUILTY es arte desde todo punto de vista .TAEMIN siempre a tenido una voz hermosa .Los lados B de su álbumes son mas geniales que sus MV .Verlo en un concierto es extraordinario magistral.Plis reacciona a SOLDIER y RISE su concierto SIRIO en Japón. ❤

[@bea_hae_tae9392]

Taemin always shows us his artistry and we certainly can't complain about his return, it shows that even though we think he is good, he comes back and shows that he is even better. This man is crazy

[@redvellvett-]

Taemiin killed the killing voice guilty, that vocal range is crazy

[@spideywoo]

I remember watching that one Rise performance when I started getting into his music and being SHOOK

[@iritre1599]

You need to hear that songs in his video concerts! It's so emotional!!❤❤

[@katlikethatprodz]

You also reacting to Taemin's killing voice was such a pleasant surprise THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️ I swear the day you react to one of his albums it's over for me!!! It's so much fun watching you react! Guilty is crazy and so are Taemin's vocals in it, as well as the whole MV! Taemin is ART!

[@giorgiapita]

Taemin é ÚNICO. Detalhista, sensual com uma elegância só dele, cantor incomparável, extremamente original e dedicado! É uma honra poder acompanhar alguém tão extraordinário como ele. Não tenho estruturas pra ele kkkk REI 💙

[@flagdiva10]

His artistry constantly blows my mind. Apparently he filmed a performance video for The Rizzness which I'm really looking forward to.

[@Pipapisca]

Girllll you need to go listen MOVE album for some intense vocals. I mean all his b-sides...

[@claoeo7021]

If you ever get a chance you HAVE to listen to Rise in full! Literally give you chills

[@hellevant3r]

he's kpop's jewel, i love him and insane amount

[@ganbattetict7804]

Taemin bside/ ballads in korean and japanese are the best

[@kellymorris2052]

Uggghhh he’s so freaking talented!!! I love this reaction video!! Thank you!!!

[@sweetkatrina05]

I agree with you. It's about himself. His words are hauntingly deep and very emotionally painful. I feel his song is about how painful it is to love yourself. I'm obsessed with his song. Love it and love Taemin, his Kpop Idol King 🤴 🫰💜

[@Odorobol6v6]

Taemin's voice is so underrated. I'm glad he's doing things like Killing Voice or Lee Mujin Service that show his voice more. I hope everyone gets to know how great of a vocalist he is.

[@Angelahhhh]

Tá aí um ídolo que adoraria vê-lo de pertinho num show...simplesmente perfeito ❤

[@faiza98.]

I watched all 43 minutes of this and loved your reaction. It felt like I was watching the MV and Killing Voice episode with my bestie. THE KING OF KPOP IS BACK! The MV, album, and Killing Voice episode is amazing. The fact that he said his condition wasn't good the day he filmed Killing Voice and he couldn't even show half of his abilities... SHOOK.

[@lisamarshall4515]

his voice is amazing. GUILTY is my fave.

[@bigmaaan]

The reaction to rise 29:59 had me giggling i love when people love that song, its SO good

[@newyorknewyork1190]

The King is back👑❤

[@tasneemshamrey8791]

I love your intro with advice so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥹🤍🤍🤍

[@keysburntgucci9016]

Why do PEOPLE AND TAEMIN HIMSELF keep forgetting WANT? 😭😭😭😭😭 I got Want creepy vibes too. Caitlin, you're sleeping on SHINee and the boys' ballads! Believe me, I have trouble making even a TOP 40 SHINee ballads. Please give SHINee ballads a chance, without any expectations and make them fall in love with them more than you ever did 🙏

[@caitlinbensonn]

For me it reminded me of criminal more than want in terms of lyrics. I definitely can See Want tho.

[@shanbeauty4193]

If u ourselves didn’t feel guilty of something it wouldn’t b a Taemin vid, he just know how how to get emotions from us even just by looking at us❤. This MV n his vocals ❤

[@yoanribeiro]

Guilty is clearly one of a kind, our SHINee Maknae is doing the damn thing! ❤ Also, I knew Rise would pick your interest!! You should watch on your own time the live version of it, it's a ride 🫶

[@lynettepetty845]

I was waiting for your reaction. This is one of my favorite songs on the new cd.

[@gamingwithjemelair5099]

This song is so Toxic, but its so good that it almost makes me feel Guilty

[@luciatovar832]

I miss him soooo Much ❤ thanks girl for this! 🫰🏻

[@xoalsophx]

WAIT AHHHHHHHHH YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU REACTED TO PRESS YOUR NUMBER?????? caitlyn im so excited 😭

[@juliaballaron2684]

Thanks for reacting, we love when the King returns! Definitely check out Taemin’s Rise live performance at his stadium concert, he absolutely kills the vocals and puts on a great performance!

[@helenbeatriz7293]

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!!!!!! love from Brazil

[@키작은꽃]

I love your reaction videos :D Thank you for uploading Taemin reaction so quick!

[@xoalsophx]

AHHH I CLICKED SO FAST! I’m so excited Taeminnie’s back on your channel (in general too lmao) 🥰 I still remember discovering you when you reacted to him for the first time!!

[@larabelfort6556]

"Rise" and "Love" are BY FAR my two favorite songs by Taemin, the MOVE Album was really something else

[@emmakins0515]

My best theory. Remember in advice theres a car crash andnhe says youll never get the keys to my lock. At the end theres a messed up car in the road. And ifnyou look on the jean skirt outfit theres a bunch om keys like a belt

[@luizildaferreira6985]

Taemin perfeito !!!
