EX-DANCER REACTS TO- Taemin "Guilty" M/V

[@daria4327]

Taemin has this way of portraying his songs. One word: ART!

[@agatho_loves_music]

Taemin's artistic depth in this MV is unfortunately buried by lyrics mistranslations, I made a video to rectify that. Taemin has highly specific things to say, hear him out!

[@Hrathen39]

Thing I love about Taemin title tracks is the emotional payoff he always manages to fit at the end. Instead of the trendy same chorus a lot of groups this year does

[@TMIgeekgrrl]

The whole Kpop universe knows GUILTY is Taemin's heart and soul expression after 3 lost years. So why did SM sell Taemin's very personal 2023 baby GUILTY to fatten HYBE's bank account? Just when Taemin is about to take flight after 3 years? Why? Keeping it real... Latest Kpop social media hot topic: Kpop controllers appropriating his song GUILTY, Taemin's 2-month-old baby, to boost a HYBE golden boy. Even non-fans are shocked, wondered out loud on social media, asking why, why SM sold out their top concert seller flagship Taemin to their big rival just when Taemin is finally exploding into global consciousness, WHY? This isn't just a cold calculated corporate hijacking of Taemin's soul work. This is Kpop power masters' SHOWY PUBLIC WHIPPING of a rebel rouser in front of millions of Kpop audience. It's no secret Taemin's 2023 title song Guilty MV has a darker layer hidden underneath its viral sexy choreo, and with convoluted editing, he somehow sneaked it pass SM corporate floors. He had the audacity to hint at Kpop child abuse institutions! So top child exploiters openly whipped him in hyper specific manners: grabbed his anti-child-abuse song, got young idols to heighten the sexualized parts for viral benefits, made a BIG show of erasing Taemin's name from that HYBE boy's cover performance video title on Ytube Ttok Twter… There's no mistaking the anomaly and the brutality of it. Kpop collectives felt the OUCH and started multiple Taemin Guilty threads on multiple platform! Talk about BIG LOUD STATEMENT: "Shut up Taemin, we own SM, we own you, we own the kids, we own your songs, your soul, and we can erase you faster than CCP erases rebel celebs, watch us vampire your most beloved song and bleed your heart dry, then we own your tears too." Talk about the devils flexing at a child-slave-turned-advocate. Talk about teaching younger idols a lesson, thru the SHOWY BULLYING of their most respected idol of idols. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is corporate bullies flaunting their power IN PLAIN SIGHT. This is Kpop Masters stepping on the face of Taemin, IN PLAIN VIEW. Who needs conspiracy theories when the public whipping of Taemin is so plain to see? The sadism of bleeding Taemin's heart while disappearing him, is so LOUD, that every idol is silent about it. The bullying is plain to see, because powerful masters want EVERY IDOL TO SEE: even Lee Taemin can be bled then erased. Every. Younger. Idol. 3rd gen idols included. They all need to witness the public whipping of "guilty bad example" Taemin. Everyone who's been into Kpop for more than 3 years, knows about SHINee's post-2017 PTSD and Taemin's psychological vulnerability. Yes Taemin is smiling, being gracious to the ungracious as always. He seems stronger than ever. But the powerful masters are 999999 times more powerful, and they have a history of using abusing vampiring idols to an early demise, and still sleep at night. They will profit regardless. God have mercy on Taemin's current mental state. I say this now, I speak out, in case anything happen, I can tell my conscience I tried to tell people Taemin is in pain, who are bleeding him, and why are they doing this. Taemin is not safe. Not from SM, not from HYBE, not from any Kpop power authorities.

[@meganbe147]

Taemin’s killed it again honestly, he can do no wrong. Whatever he puts out is going to be incredible! Also loved seeing Rian, Simeez, Noze and Rozalin with him again 💞

[@mashitaali8481]

Your interpretation of the song is amazing!!I have the same vibe as you.Taemin is freaking awesome artist!!!The KING is back!!!!🎉

[@Doyoungismyfave]

This comeback is ICONIC

[@gambasilvestre]

taemin is something i can feel but i can`t describe

[@Sirah1981]

I almost choked on my food at 3:00 because you were trying to look sassy about the abs but them melted into this "I could die happy right now"-smile. Great reacting girl!

[@Mega_Mikey]

Taemin is so subtle to my eyes and ears, it always takes me several listens before one of his songs or mv’s really clicks. But when they do, it’s like WOW dude is on another level. You nailed it when you said he’s a true artist.

[@Titia0411]

Thank you for your reaction. I thought the same the first time I discovered SHINee and saw Taemin in 2012 (Sherlock practice), I didn’t know their names or anything about them but I spotted Taemin right away (without really seeing what he looked like) and I thought he would go far in his career 😊

[@xatato2066]

The day I’ve been waiting for has come. Your reaction to Taemin Guilty ❤ I’m always looking forward for your reactions, analysis and honest thoughts ❤

[@deloresmeeks2301]

Thank you so much for sharing thoughts.

[@Renee_009]

ICONIC. Thina, long time sub here. I agree with your assessment. Nobody, absolutely nobody else could've done this. Taemin is absolutely mesmerizing and true almost feels hypnotic in a way. I'm always drawn to the darker concepts he gives us. This one gave me chills!! Perfection.

[@gabriellahuszti5855]

Taemin💯❤️‍🔥

[@_justanartistthere_8806]

Who is this man and why is he the best kpop singer I've come across so far??

[@marinal.]

Taemin Lee of Shinee. He the maknae in the group. He 30yo. He has lots of solo work and great songs with Shinee. Hope u check his albums out. Great main dancer and singer. An artist.

[@teeluh1]

I think what you said about seductive really goes with what Taemin said about it's more fun to make the ugly things beautiful. I really love this comeback and his rizzness stages are so good

[@kristinejxxv]

Me for the nth time: Taemin is art. SHINee is art

[@kaibolee9582]

It kind of reminds me of lie by Jimin it sounds so good

[@cashmeredelicate1373]

Criminal 2.0. He can choose between 'Advice' and 'Guilty' to release in 2021. But he choose Advice fst. With 'Guilty' for his 2nd chapter guess nothing has change on his live...

[@caramel968]

I was thinking possibly the video could be about being guilty of being different. Different in being considered not right; regardless of morals. The struggle of not accepting being guilty (guilt of being different). Thank you for the awesome music reaction.

[@hawkeyejane2614]

Always excited to watch your reactions. Thank you so much for your insight and providing a detailed perspective. When I first discovered Taemin’s performances, it was crystal clear that he was, through and through, an artist. Thanks so much❤

[@Heemekun]

You look really good today. Wish you healthy!

[@kimchiiiii0525]

I'm just amused and amazed at his incredible artistry. Like, what else is there to say? I really don't know, i struggle with words when it comes to Taemin

[@LisaMT1218]

I have watched this MV probably 50 times. He just blew me away.. I love the sing, the dance, the video production. Its just perfect

[@4Peace.]

Thank you for your reaction to Taemin's beautiful Guilty mv 💜 I always appreciate your focused analysis as an artist. (Also, do you have a time machine or what?!) Enjoy your weekend.

[@haveagoodtasteofmusicstang6567]

Viviz comeback , reaction to them please .. Thank you ❤

[@marinal.]

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Good song. On 1st listen I felt strongly like crying. The tears were held in though the whole song though. But at the end i had to wipe my eyes. I just want to hug Taemin. On my 2nd listen i read the lyrics. And after i wondered was my reaction all in my head. There are layers here upon layers. Loved the fits and makeup. Some of the subject matter was an issue for me. I know Taemin had lots of mental health issues in the military. Based on the teasers I thought he would talk about it. And it looks like he does in his own way. I really want to hear his views on this song and album. I watched Suchwita ep. w. Taemin right after this. Glad he is back giving us headaches, lol. Perfect vocals in my opinion. The feathered headband is a Native American thing for me. I feel it has an important significance. The lyrics had nothing to do with the images in the MV. I think this is way over my head and i will watch some reactions to see what others think of Taemin's msg here. Feels based on imagery. Great choreo. Need the dance practice ASAP. =0p Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 Loved that long skirt. He looked so good, dang. I also was getting examination. After a few reactions i am thinking he is showing military and psych mental health area. Like a mix of places. I was thinking were ppl saying he was guilty of making them feel attracted to him? Does he feel guilty about something? Lots of thoughts going through my head. I am so glad u watched the teasers. The more i watch the more i think that he is combining the military facility with a mental health facility. And we know he suffered in the military and asked for a transfer. So it seems he is portraying his struggles here. @ireneserrano4570 said on 10/30/23 I'm still confused about the exact meaning, but again, there could be different interpretations as with his other songs. But from the visuals i get the feeling it refers to abuse, it can be at so many levels. It can have psychological and physical or both, you can suffer it under your own family, friends, at school, at work, in love relationships... Then who is the perpetrator? many times you can be trapped by those people, even in a group or the society, you don't even realise but by the time you realise you have been actually abused THEY are gone, who can you blame exactly? I have gone through my own dose of abuse, and after years you realise but you end up blaming yourself too, as if you hadn't known better but then you allowed it...😢 Also the images of classroom and rooms with beds, and a kid surrounded by a group...Taemin is watching him from the door as if he was watching himself as a kid... also at the end those kids in school uniforms, all spread around, one grabbing the legs of an adult that grabs his leg, bleeding... South Korea also has buIIying as endemic.. at schools (kids also teachers committing suicide as they can't either find understanding or help by their surroundings, on the contrary they are treated as the outcast and weirdos) also at the workplace, in the Military, in university... Their social rules, their stratification and obsession with seniority, comparing their ages, wealth, possessions, their marks, everything... the social pressure on kids and in general on everyone to be better, the most xx the most xx...). The crazy mix of their traditional values and the contrast to the monstruos capitalism that devours all traditional values... traditional collectivism versus wild individualism... @pamela-623 said on 10/30/23 this is an amazing comeback, so artsy so taemin, shawols had lots of interesting theories, my favorite being that this is an interpretation of the struggles in military enlistment, young men being taken, examined and given a gun, i find it so fascinating @princesssunshine79 said on 10/31/23 From what I have picked up here and there, I THINK, don't quote me, the song is about training at an extremely young age in a very exploitive industry, his horrible experience while doing his military service, and his own mental health. Again, I am not positive about any of this. But, for Taemin, it makes a lot of sense. Especially the last two bits because his 2 years away was a nightmare that really messed with his mental health and depression. I hope this helps a wee bit. 😁 @sumim2192 said on 11/1/23 Just a note, In July (I think), Taemin updated his Instagram bio with a famous quote from Hermann Hesse's famous novel Demian “The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.” I think his outfit with the feather hat represents the god Abraxas. @prisonbreakd said on 10/31/23 The way he does dark concepts is so amazing to me. I think if you think about how guilt feels, the video/song represents it perfectly. The way he moves through the corridors and outside, and the choreography feels like he is out of control, and being suffocated by the situation, he is overwhelmed and struggling to understand up from down, invisible and visible hands push him around. You can't help but feel sad or sorry for him, despite him singing that he's done something horrible. And I think it's because, unlike in "Want", he is not proud or embracing it here; his pain, struggle and guilt are obvious. It's haunting. To me, the overall story of the video was that love (and life) is not always cutesy and sweet; it can come with a dark side, conflicting feelings, being intense and too much. You can do things you regret, and it can spin out of control, you can be aware of doing something wrong and not know how to stop, you can want things that are not good for you or someone that you care about. You can hurt people and be aware of what you are doing but not know how to do it better. You can love the wrong people, make mistakes and feel... well, guilty. It's just a very painful side of human experience that we don't like to look at because guilt and shame go together and make us very uneasy. @pandakholin said on 10/31/23 9:55 Yep. Rian, Simeez, Noze and Rozalin. They’ve been Taemin’s backup dancers since Criminal. Also here is Suzy Hong and Kim Haeun. Only the best of the best for Taemin. @lunemaline1338 said on 10/31/23 Taemin has spoken before how he regrets debuting so young in a very exploitative industry, that mixed with how hard his military enlistment period was for his mental health I see this being about him kinda losing his innocence and being thrown into violence. the shot of him looking at one of the dancers that kinda looks like a younger version of him having fun with everyone else to him being in this medical room and being moved like a puppet, forced to hold a gun and being stripped of his individuality by wearing this school uniform. That’s what I love about Taemin’s music and MV’s it starts to make you think and theorize, he’s super creative. @schuylernefcy3466 said on 10/31/23 Other note, 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.

[@lori4021]

Tina, you gave me some pieces of the puzzle with your review/analysis of the song. I have always come away with some knowledge gained from your reactions. Thank you.

[@얀웬리-r7k]

i love you reaction.

[@yasielgomez6243]

El rey del kpop a vuelto 🎉

[@cherrycherryzoe6617]

Please don’t just praise him and not vote for him he also needs to win..

[@lari5891]

I cannot stop listening to this. After learning about the inspiration for the song, I think the lyrics should have been more abstract, not so clearly associated with a toxic relationship but more introspective and somewhat more primitive, as described in Bataille's book. Had the same feeling with Criminal, which I also love. Still I feel that this one better portraits angst, desperation, and internal conflict. You can see the "bad" side, in 3:28, he looks so mean, arrogant, somewhat hysterical, like another person.

[@alfarer2107]

what's the inspiration of the song exactly?

[@lari5891]

@@alfarer2107 the book is about the relationship between erotism, pain and religion.

[@thespianoge]

Yeah, I felt like the lyrics were a little too heavy-handed in comparison to the nuanced MV and a little at odds with it.

[@agatho_loves_music]

You're right about the primitive instinct, the most overlooked trope in fan analysis. GUILTY is a chronicle of his most iconic works, and it's indeed layered and confounding for a reason. GUILTY lyrics were highly misleading, so that didn't help ifans. I made an in-depth explainer for GUILTY to clear the confusion, and also to justify Taemin's efforts. He wasn't being ambiguous, he was being careful.

[@BlackMoore82]

Could say he’s… Married to the Music (had to).

[@marinal.]

[@nataliah3243]

He's insane. I swear nobody makes my heart race like him.

[@jasonmcnamara600]

Can I request a Noze's fancam reaction of Guilty? Please 😅Mbckpop just uploaded.

[@sirdromos2769]

man i love your reaction so much also as a 2nd gen bias we understand each other so much ^^

[@leen29]

Taemin is so expressive. There's elements of the Weekend. It's almost an elevated extension of Seulgi's "28 Reasons". I also was reminded of Bam Bam & Seulgi's "Who Are You" dance move, when he jumped into the guys arms like a tango. So many similarities. It's really very along the same lines. Honestly I would love to see Taemin & Seulgi collaborate in another song and music video. It was really good and definitely see where some of his inspirations came from. It's like he could relate to Seulgi's bed chains and toxic love and apples. So good.

[@taemtastique]

also Taemin’s Just Me and You ❤️‍🩹

[@RavenPZ-pn9eq]

Now I know why most of the ppl call him the Ace, king of soloist and why so much idols love him and have him like a role model ( Idol of idols)​ ... Taemin has a unique way of transmitting emotiins through his songs and dances moves .. He's not just a singer, he's an artist in every sense of the word.... Hopefully his fans will support him more and stream him, he deserves more global recognition because he is someone who has a lot to give... One word Art... Taemin is Art

[@RavenPZ-pn9eq]

you're so cool 😍😍😍😍

I've waiting for this for 2 years! Including your reaction. You are looking great Thina... new hair color? I hope you do some of the live performances of this. I saw Rian from LaChica in this who was in Advice and previous vids with the King!
