DESTROY ME (TAEMIN 태민 'Criminal' MV Reaction)

[@mikapraxedes4511]

The "Destroy me more" part killed me. Somehow, Taemin manages to outdo himself every time. That's our Ace right there ♠️👑💎

[@elizabethb7550]

Mika Praxedes Same. I didn’t read the lyrics the first time around, but caught that one line. Dead.

[@newchannel7523]

That part is amazing!

[@yobiyobi8138]

In his commentary of the MV, he said that the director told him that the words were unclear and it sounded like he said either "Ruin me more" or "Run away", and Taemin said that he wanted to keep it like that on purpose! It's really brilliant because it reflects the entire duality of mentality of Taemin in the MV.

[@laulau1139]

Taemin already confirmed that the song describes the Stockholm Syndrome.

[@mayfierros7320]

Thanks for the translations!

[@slehmann123]

I feel like everything Taemin puts out is so freaking catchy, but the way that he really locks us in is with he's mv. He is by far the most captivating person ever. He locks you in and you will never escape

[@kyleb4u789]

Taemin, the man who even if hes not your bias, he is Ps. Watch him say this was a cutie concept just like he said want was....... lol

[@farhatdeeba4779]

"Taemin has that style that no one has"... Yes exactly Ben! Yes!

[@user-wu8gv2lh5v]

He’s just everything.. I couldn’t even speak after watching this

[@farhatdeeba4779]

Taemins dance is his own, it should be added to the series of dance styles.. Taemin Dance.

[@CapeEniEer]

My theory is Taemin could be singing about : 1. a toxic romantic relationship or 2. his relationship with the industry. I like the the 2nd theory more because like you said, he is a workaholic. Workaholics usually work at the detriment of their own health. Maybe the shady part of Kpop industry also hurts him too, but he lets that shadiness hurt him so he can create more art, which he loves doing. A lot of big companies usually do shady shit to get their artists recognised, there are suspicions that girl group companies sell a girl group member to a rich man, for 1-2 nights a month, without the girl's much consent because the girls are "owned" by the company. Idk what could be happening with boy groups but I bet if companies are willing to sell women to make success happen, what stops them from mistreating their male members too right? And perhaps Taemin, feels like he has also become a criminal by letting the company do whatever was asked of Taemin to do

[@Saddlemomma]

Yes, there is an Act II. Yes, Taemin took a much more active role in this whole album. He chose the directors helped to direct, design, and produce this whole album. He should be extremely proud of himself. Taemin's been going non-stop, but in his VLIVE's during the height of COVID, he was going nuts with nothing to do. He was depressed and lamented not being able to work and getting too much rest. He didn't know what to do with himself. Taemin is an extreme workaholic and is happiest when working and on stage. He's also working on a SHINee comeback and his reality show as well. He just can't stop himself....Hey, the rest of this album is fire too!

[@이지은-r3b9j]

"Destroy me more" sounds in two versions in korean. One is "destroy me more" and the other is "run away from me". This lysic express what taemin want to design in this album i think.

[@leeminhyung167]

I just had a thought, though it maybe completely wrong. But I know in the MV there’s the innocent version and the criminal version. So what if the innocent version was destroyed and became the criminal? He even says that his hands aren’t that clean either.

[@ophirelda3368]

Oh my! You're brilliant! Maybe you should leave this theory on the official MV. I'll support it. Cause I just thought of something.

[@aroralee6675]

Lee taemin is an another level kinda breed! He is his own genre..

[@BB-ge4kt]

Okay I’m not sure if someone already told yall this, but “더 망쳐줘” (destroy me more) is pronounced very similar to “도망쳐줘” (please run away), and this fact is killing me from inside. “CRIMINAL” IS THE NEW RANAISSANCE

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED FROM THIS COMEBACK AND MORE! To be honest, I think this might be my favorite Taemin title track since Danger... it's definitely in my top 3 with danger and sayonara hitori. the instrumental gives me such 80s vibes, which is exactly what i was hoping for with an album called "never gonna dance again". and the way he comes in on that last chorus has been blowing me away all damn morning, i cannot stop listening to this

Yes, Ben. There will be an Act 2 after this! He said that the "ACT 2" will be an "end-of-all" and will be so intense. This Act 1 is already CRAZY and INTENSE. I don't know what to expect for ACT 2. WOAH! KING!!

Ben I saw it on Twitter several months ago so I don't remember names. Anyway, a producer of one of his songs said, he's not satisfied with the production but it's okay cause Taemin will add on what's missing. This really proves that our boy is very hands on in all aspect of his songs. Even if he's not listed in the credits.

The song is about himself. The famous kpop idol Taemin VS the normal boy Taemin. The way that his famous self entraps his normal self to the point he becomes dependent of it. He has said multiple times that this song expresses exactly how he feels, like a trip to his inner world. It's his beat song so far ❤️🔥

Taemin did a video where he was watching the M/V and kinda narrating the process of recording and he had a TON of input. Not only the song but the M/V, choreo...everything!

[@originalamvs4578]

I'm probably incorrect, but I imagined that the songs about an abusive relationship where Taemin is submissive, but slowly he turns into someone twisted and I assume that at the end he finally snaps despite enjoying it and becomes insane.

[@gabby_9175]

Taemin always creates music that makes your soul tingle with unnatural emotions. At least for me it does. And that’s why his music is so good and sensual.
