[@yunqb1519]

IU was really really close with SHINee’s late main vocalist Jonghyun, he even wrote a song for her album (Gloomy Clock on her modern times album). It’s bittersweet to see SHINee together with her but without him

[@oriented0009]

[@myingmasherpa19]

It was actually Jonghyun song but he let IU listen to it first for review but IU liked it so much she asked him if he could give her the song and he gladly gave it to her

[@ClaireUSMC99]

It's obvious that their reunion is bittersweet. I think the last time they were all together was at Jonghyun's funeral. 💔

[@CrisPBacon-hd8ti]

Onew's legendary 40 second high note and opera and more. Thats why IU told like that

[@zoe218]

IU once called SHINee's Jonghyun one of her best friends, they were extremely close and he composed her song, A Gloomy Clock. Jonghyun passed away in 2017. IU has talked about her late friend several times, paying tribute to him at award shows/her concerts and you recently watched her cover of his song "Before Our Spring" on her Sloppy Live 3 on the anniversary of his death.

[@jaymeered7063]

SHINee was originally 5 member group but one of them -- Jonghyun passed away, it was suicide due to depression. IU was broken hearted that time. During GDA awards in 2018 her speech she talked about how she had to send off someone precious to her and that artists are people too and should take care of themselves too even though they're supposed to console other people or their fans. IU was very close to Jonghyun, the closest out of all SHINee members she even have a song that Jonghyun gifted to her called A Gloomy Clock. It was also theorized in her song Eight that it was a tribute to Sulli and Jonghyun both IU friends that passed because of suicide. Jonghyun is believed to be the lizard turned to dragon. SHINee singing Dear Name is specially emotional because you know what the song meant.

[@candyy478]

Also when SHINee sing it's also sad. I know they make the song for SHAWOLS but i feel like it's also for JongHyun & for some reason i can here JongHyun's voice in that song😭

[@demitwice]

YES AARON REACT TO THEIR DEBUT REPLAY LOL IT'S A 2000'S BOP

[@azpcshawol9615]

I will be great that he could check the live performance of it too

[@itsmyblahs]

SHINee is a vocal powerhouse comprising of 5 vocalists (2 being among the best in the industry - Onew and Jonghyun). They are know as the Kings of live performances as they sound so much better live than their CDs and they're one of the very few (if not the only ones) who sang live since debut. Debuting at such tender ages of 14 (Taemin) to 18 (Onew), they have grown so much and have gained the industry's respect as being a legendary and most precious group in the industry/country. Taemin, the youngest of all and definitely the most spoilt was practically raised by his four hyungs (older brothers) from preparing his meals, ironing his school uniforms, walking/escorting him to school and to coaching him vocally (mainly Jonghyun and Onew) since he barely had any lines during their debut years due to his immature vocal chords. The Taemin you see today - one of the best soloist is due to the heavy influence of his members. They doted, loved and spoilt him so much and they mentioned before that Taemin is like a sponge, absorbing all the best qualities of the members. SHINee have gone through so much in the last 14 years - all the success and fame they enjoyed as well as the hardship and having to go through a tragic passing of one of their brothers. Their relationship is so much more than bffs like other groups, but they are each other's families, home, pillar of strength. That is why Taemin mentioned that while his members were doing their mandatory military service for two years he was very lonely and misses them so much. And the moment they came back towards the end of last year, he was over the moon and automatically transformed back into his baby cheese, spoilt brat mode. SHINee was created as a contemporary RnB group that aims to be the trendsetters in music, dance, fashion etc. So in your SHINee journey, you'll experience a wide range of genres, sounds, mixing, in which may sound weird to some. Regardless, SHINee will always make them work and are always ahead of their time. All five members have very distinct tones and flavours to their voices and together they harmonise heavenly. Jonghyun, the angel is known to be one of the best vocalists in the industry and he is also a well-known and remarkable songwriter, composer, producer, author and radio DJ. He is best friends with IU and also written a song for her. SHINee is well-respected and very loved by the people in the industry and many fandoms not only because of their undisputed talents, but also because they are known to be humble, respectful and also crackheads at times. SHINee World (Shawols) are also some of the most peaceful fandoms out there and like SHINee, always supporting other artists.

[@fatimaba1630]

I really appreciate Aaron reaction for focusing in every member’s voice, even though he only know taemin. That’s why i am always excited for his reactions.

[@rique4964]

I'm glad to hear that you're excited for SHINee! I waited for this for a long time, i mean it... So, they debuted in 2008 with the song Replay, which is considered one of the best debut songs in kpop history. They are a contemporary and trend-setting R&B group, and have made several different songs. In fact, their discography is insane, because of the fact that were also an experimental group, they haven opened a lot of doors to try different styles and genres ranging from dubstep, blues to even introduce deep house into the kpop industry. They debuted with five members (Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin respectively) and changed kpop in a very deep way, since they very beginig to now. Unfortunately, the main vocalist, Kim Jonghyun, who was very close to IU and even composed a song for her, passed away on December 18, 2017, after marking the industry with his talent and leaving his legacy marked in our hearts. After the incident, SHINee chose to continue active with the four members, releasing in 2018, the album called "The Story of Light" that was separated into three EP's, and the very touching song "Our Page", as a tribute that speaks explicitly about the story they created together, and how they would go on with Jonghyun in their hearts and keep writing the pages of their story that doesn't haven't an end yet. So, after promoting "The Story Of Light", all the oldest members of SHINee ended up having to enter on their military services, leaving Taemin alone and SHINee on hiatus for almost three years. Fortunately, everyone has completed their enlistment and they are now back with the seventh album "Don't Call Me". I hope I have helped with something, and please give a lot of support and support to SHINee!! (Also, I know that my english is really crap, i'm not a native t-t)

Subscribing for more SHINee.😊 Taemin is intense onstage but with his SHINee members he is very talkative, he is spoiled by them as he is the youngest member and he is actually full of mischiefs. SHINee practically raised him up (even sends him off to school) and trained him vocally. SHINee debuted in 2008 with 5 members. Sadly member Jonghyun passed away in Dec 2017. He was a friend of IU as well and even composed songs for her. SHINee is basically a legend, a lot idols really look up to them. They are trendsetters and do not follow mainstream music, usually what they release sets the next kpop trend, even in fashion. SHINee is known for live vocals and intense choreo. Here are some suggestions aside from the new mv: Marry You (The Ringtone) Heart Attack live stage An Encore (SHINee World 4) Replay (2008 debut song and Taemin was only 14) Sherlock+Shine+Stranger (SHINee World 4) Excuse Me Miss

Aaron, thank you so much for reacting this. This is really beautiful. I am a shawol for 5 years now and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I am really in awe with their live performances, especially in concerts. The thing I love abt them is that there are 5 Main Vocal, 5 dancers, 5 Visuals, 5 crack heads, 5 talented men, and 5 humble kings. As you discover them, you will be able know what I mean. They are so special. as what they say “SHINee are not only the princes of Kpop but they are also the most precious kpop group in Korea” SHINee is loved by many, not to mention the staffs, co-artists, and general public. They witnessed the growth of shinee. They are also the idol’s idols. They always exceed your expectations and will always think outside the box. Maybe because I stan them so hard.. they became my standard of all kpop groups. and maybe that’s why it is very hard for me to hard stan other groups. I love and enjoy other songs though, but to love the whole group, the whole discography, personality, it is different. 5 of them are so different with each other but there are common things among them, they are all passionate and hardworking in everything they do, they are artists, they are so humble! almost 14 years in the industry and still topping the charts yet still so humble. I would love to put details here about each members but I also want you to discover them yourself. I am so excited with your SHINee journey. WELCOME TO THE SHINee World! Btw, the whole DONT CALL ME album (7th album) is so dope. each tracks have different genre. Same with their previous albums, it is like no other! It is the first comeback after three years since they recently been discharged from the military except for taemin. We can’t wait for their live concerts in the future which is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Thank you Aaron for discovering them and putting them a special place in your heart.

Key has a scare on his eyebrow, its not bleached. LOL. Actually IU's version of "Sherlock" is a complete remix of the song and it sounds a lot different than what you just heard. You might even think it's a completely different song when you see the original MV. What you just experienced is exactly what makes SHINee legends. And this is the reason why they are so highly respected, and why almost everyone in the industry who came after them cites them as one of their biggest influences and one of the reasons why they wanted to become a singer and dancer, etc. With their "Don't Call Me" comeback, SHINee are just doing what we have all come to expect from them -- showing us something that has never been seen or heard before and starting a new trend. Nothing you hear from them will ever be like anything you have ever seen or heard before. They raise the bar even higher with every comeback. And that's what makes them SHINee. :D With every new song release, SHINee are expected to come out with a style and sound that is brand new, not only for them, but in the industry as a whole. SHINee are one of the most iconic and influential groups. They are always setting trends, never following them. SHINee where designed to be SM's experimental boy group, so everything they do is meant to be the first and they are expected to set the trend. With every new song SHINee produces it's expected to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from them in any of their songs, even on the same album, and yet, somehow it will always sound like SHINee. The industry looks to SHINee to show them what the next song style and dance trend will be. And it is said that within 3 months of SHINee releasing their new song and choreography, you will see that same sound and style being duplicated across the industry with every comeback to follow from both boy groups and girl groups. When SHINee does something the industry takes note and follows suit. SHINee has started the trend with almost everything -- with every one of their songs to their dances to clothing trends, to live performances, to the way Kpop is promoted -- there is almost nothing that can't be attributed to something SHINee has been involved in. You just discovered why SHINee still hold one of the top spots after more than 12 years in the industry. If you are impressed now, just wait until you go through their entire discography of songs and MVs. So far, they have 13 full-length albums (7 Korean albums and 6 Japanese albums), a multitude of mini albums, numerous OSTS, they each have solo songs and albums and there are hundreds of live performances that will absolutely leave you speechless with their talent. And it only gets more and more impressive as you follow them through their career. They have accomplished a lot in the past 12+ years and they are one of the groups that made Kpop what it is today. However, if you want to see where SHINee truly shines, you have to see their live performances. This year will be SHINee's 13th anniversary. So SHINee are part of the second generation of Kpop and yet they are younger than most everyone in their generation and are the same age or even younger than most other groups, such as EXO and BTS, etc. which are part of Kpop's third generation. SHINee debuted young and have the experience of seasoned veterans. When SHINee debuted in 2008, Onew (the leader and lead vocalist) was 18, Jonghyun (the main vocalist and songwriter) had just turned 18, Minho (the main rapper and sub-vocalist) and Key (lead vocalist and sub-rapper) were 16 and Taemin (Main dancer and lead vocalist) was 14, so now they are all in their late 20s and early 30s. (Onew just turned 31 in December.) SHINee are some of the most well respected artists in the industry. Onew (Pronounced Oh-New, real name Lee JinKi) -- the blond hair -- is the leader of the group and he has one of the most unique and best voices in the industry. (Onew means, or sounds like, the Korean words for soft or gentle, so he was given his stage name because he has a very calm and gentle personality.) His vocals are unmatched. He even holds the record (40+ seconds) for the longest continuous note without changing tone or pitch, etc. Key -- the one with the red shirt -- is our diva and fashionista of the group who is SHINee's stylist for a lot of their MVs and stage outfits. SHINee are known for setting trends and never being afraid to experiment, so Key is known for really paying attention to detail when it comes to fashion. He is known for always being unique and wanting to stand out. He is an amazing singer and is a sub-rapper in the group. He is also known as SHINee's dance copy machine. Key has the ability to see and remember choreography the fastest in the group. He only needs to watch the dance once and he has it memorized. He is also SHINee's fluent English speaker, and he is almost as good as a native speaker. Minho -- the tall one with the brown jacket -- is the main rapper and visual of the group, but, as you heard, his vocals are also some of the best in the industry. Minho sings just as much as he raps. He also writes most of his own raps in SHINee's songs. Minho is a top actor and he has starred in numerous dramas and movies. He is also known as a top athlete. He says these days he goes to the gym a couple of times a day to work out just because he likes to work out, but he is also crazy about soccer, and he plays basketball, baseball and golf, and he is good at track and field events, etc., as well. And not only does he enjoy playing all those sports, but he is usually the best athlete on the field and he pretty much wins every time. Minho's nickname is "Flaming Charisma," and one reason is for his intense passion for sports and his need to always win. And, as you know, Taemin is considered one of THE BEST dancers in the industry, and that's not just by fans but by everyone in the industry, including his peers. Taemin's nickname is the Korean Michael Jackson. He is also one of the most popular solo artists in the industry and he is a member of the Kpop supergroup SuperM. Taemin truly is art when it comes to his performances. Although Jonghyun wasn't in this interview -- Jonghyun died Dec. 18, 2017 -- in order to get to know SHINee, you have to get to know him as well. He is known as one of the best vocalist in Kpop who was one of the most prolific songwriters and composers of his generation. Jonghyun wrote and composed almost 40% of SHINee's songs, plus he wrote all of his own solo songs and numerous songs for other artists, such as EXO's "Playboy," Taemin's solo songs "Pretty Boy" and "Always", IU's "Gloomy Clock" and Lee HI's "Breath", etc., as well as participated in several movie and drama OSTs. He was one of the only SM artists to be given complete artistic control over his work, including several of SHINee's song selections. SM knew that if Jonghyun was involved in any way that the song would be a hit. He was extremely respected within the industry as a songwriter, composer and singer. He was one of the very first Idols to be known for this songwriting and composing skills. As the main vocalist, Jonghyun is the reason why Taemin is the amazing singer and performer that he is today. Jonghyun taught Taemin everything he knows and you can feel Jonghyun's influence everytime Taemin sings, especially when he's performing with SHINee. SHINee are one of the top groups that are known for the fact that they all can do it all. They are a group of 5 amazing vocalists, 5 impressive dancers, 5 visuals, 5 rappers, 5 top actors, and 5 of the most talented and unique voices in all of Kpop. Once you get to know their voices you will always be able to pick them out of a crowd just by the sound of their voice. Most fans (SHINee World or Shawol for short) will tell you we know who is speaking or singing within 1 second even with our eyes closed, with them standing in a crowd of screaming fans. Each of their voices are that unique -- there is no one with a voice like any of theirs. That is why they are "The Princes of Kpop". SHINee are known for their live vocals and amazing dancing. They are known as CD-quality singers because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. SHINee always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing so they avoid it at all costs, so when you hear SHINee singing 95% of the time it will be live. It's a running joke between the fans and the members that when SHINee lip syncs you can tell because it's very obvious. Yes, over the years they have become better at lip syncing then they used to be, but now they have gained the reputation as the group that always sings live, so unless they are required to lip sync for a specific reason, SHINee will always sing live. They have trained their entire career to be able to sing live and always sound flawless while performing extremely complex choreography. SHINee set the standard. That is why they are so highly respected among their peers. It is literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard all other groups strive to reach.

she said the truth about ONEW vocal , at Shinee debut , heis voice was the ideal type of all idols

[@aku80nurul]

aaron, you've watched hwarang, right? minho is 1 of the actors in hwarang. if i remember correctly, his character is suho. and he became close friend to V bts along with park seojun, park hyungsik, and few other actors

[@auliainddriany9703]

You will see many differences side of Taemin when he in SUPERM and when he in SHINee. Because in SUPERM he have to be the older senior member, but in SHINee he will doing what he want because he is the youngest member. And it will be fun when you see him trying to be him self, and get a lot of love from the older member from SHINee 😁 And yes, Taemin on stage is so different from Taemin on backstage. Actually, he so adorable, but also very profesional in his job (acting, singing and dancing).

[@khamzayeva]

Dear name is special song as for IU, as for Shinee... Jonghyun was friend with IU. Eight was also related to him, IU also mentioned him in her award speech after he passed away 🥺

[@cynthiapaniagua7496]

I just loved this reaction!! In your journey you will see that Shinee are not only singers but also comedians, they have natural personalities and talent. God bless you Aaron

[@MinMin-cq7hk]

Shawols are the most friendly and supportive fandom, infact all second generation's fandoms are all supportive of each other.

[@grrr8332]

SHINee are legends and they are still 5. Jonghyun is an angel and will always be part of the group (even the members still talk about shinee as 5 members). I think you should know a little bit more about their story and their career before reacting to them, I suggest this guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWsoWmOfKh-bac (it is very good, you will definitely understand more about their music and personalities). Then apart from “don’t call me” (their latest song which is a masterpiece, along with their last album), I would like to know your impression about their debut song called “replay”. It’s such an iconic song that everyone loves. I’m sure you’ll love them. Then, you can just react to each of their other songs, they’re all great tbh.

[@anewothe5004]

I also suggest watching a guide tbh

[@NajlaRV]

I can’t wait to see your reaction for shinee comeback “don’t call me ☎️ ❌, fiiirrreeee

[@whole.milk__]

SHINee's songs have always been known for 'breaking the mold' and jumping into new concepts that are ahead of their time. That's what made (makes!) them so legendary! Their voices are all individually incredibly unique - Onew for his super unique, mellow ballad-y voice, Key for his incredible power, Minho's beautiful deepness, and Taemin's ethereal voice. Not forgetting Jonghyun - not much needs to be said there. But when put together, their voices are insane and they transform songs. And you can clearly differentiate between who is singing, its just really beautiful.

[@ophirelda3368]

Aww you described their voices so beautifully. Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡

[@anibalclericot1173]

SHINee is really worth checking, both their previous releases, and their future ones, Japanese or Korean. They are best known for their live performances. I recommend: “Excuse Me Miss” from SHINee World Concert IV kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISyg5Snibasoc0 On this performance Jonghyun introduces each member with the correct pronunciation. Unfortunately Jonghyun passed away in 2017… but SHINee is always 5 for us. Each member has their own sound for their solos. I recommend: Jonghyun’s She is kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ6xmZmgr9KAqLc Key’s One of Those Nights kzbin.info/www/bejne/iou6hIpvZdGsmK8 Minho’s 'I’m Home kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHa5pmmqi7-IncU Onew’s Blue kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGKYYaaCpdCmfrc You already know Taemin.

[@shineesbackbackbackback2086]

13:40 Keys eyebrow has a scar in it since he was a little child. At first he tried to cover it with make-up but he realised that the scar is a part of him that he can show :)

[@marielleannedeguzman9605]

Yes, they're 5 members in Shinee (Onew, JONGHYUN, Key, Minho and Taemin) but, unfortunately Jonghyun died back in December 2017. Jonghyun known to be a good friend of IU.

[@maatougnadine3911]

all the TOP vocals are from SM for sure

[@nashjeffersonmeurom5876]

Iu reacted to there mv of dont call me its separated its on shinee you tube channel

[@구아-i8z]

SHINee's performances are so powerful that they have ripped lots of jackets and pants.

[@pamela-623]

yes, shawol is the fandom name, also key has a scar on his eyebrow (one of the things that make his face very recognizable) and as others said iu and jonghyun were very close so its so sweet to see them interact

[@shinee_girl]

You know what, actually Taemin was called tone deaf when he was a trainee cuz he couldn't sing those days! See how much improved he has....like he'd shout his heart out until he collapsed and this is all his hardwork! Glad you admire him a lot...he deserves it!

[@nienhokful]

Dear aaron,thank u for ur interest of reacting to Shinee. It remind me a lot of my early days as shawol. I cant stop smiling at ur reaction. Im looking forward for ur reaction to their music..

[@ily1651]

Rewatching this again. Aaron, there's a new IU's Palette episode, I know your gonna react to it, so I'll wait for your reaction patiently. 😊😊😊

[@user-oy1hv3qv1j]

Onew is very kind and soft person so his nickname(?) is tofu

[@Taywuxiang1961]

Second generation friendship is the best. SHINee is five forever!!

[@ichigo8789]

IU was really close friends with Jonghyun, he sadly passed away from suicide in 2017. RIP❤️

[@worldcitizen6542]

You should react to Onew singing opera song Nessun Dorma. The microphone is soooo faaaarrr but his voice is still so clear and powerful. Highly recommended. In another solo performance, he also held 40 seconds long high note. The longest in kpop so far.

[@itsmejaneygee9891]

Because of this particular Palette episode, I became curious about SHINee. I've been watching a lot of their videos and interviews lately. I'm looking forward to your SHINee reaction videos

[@jja565]

ShiNee 5th member is Jonghyun, main vocalist, awesome songwriter, passed away last 2017. IU and Jonghyun are close and best friends. ShiNee OneW, Key and Minho did their Military service between 2018-2020, solo albums, Taemin SuperM. Don't Call Me comeback is precious, ShiNee continues as 4 members. 💜💜💜💜.

[@sandrine39455]

Un duo UI & Onew ça doit être une tuerie, j'adore énormément leurs deux voix. J'ai hâte d'entre leur futur collaboration.

[@nhorkiepascual101]

You should also watch Shinee and IU react to their song. It's on SHINee's KZbin channel. It's right after guesting In Pallette, they're in the same studio.

[@lupitanurputriagustina9743]

Thank you for reacting their talent and voices with ur honest review ofc their voices are colorful, right? Each member has their unique voices yet beautiful.. 🥰😍 and SHINee is always FIVE ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrnnmldy]

Thanks for reacting to this! 🥰 I hope you react to more SHINee videos, especially their live performances. ❤️

[@karlam8221]

Yep, Shawols love IU for her bond to Jjong and now with all of them, Jonghyun was and is a part of SHINee that is present to us till now, he was such an amazing artist!! He has solo albums that are really good, he has a strong jazz Influence. Thank you for react!! SHINee Is really amazing, they are loved by critics even outside of kpop.

[@florindadeleon3320]

Taemin..is happy to be with his hyungs (members) after almost 3 years by himself. He’s the baby and his hyungs love him so much and spoiled him. He can say anything freely and his hyungs will just let him. There are 5 members of SHINee group and will always will. The best in KPOP.. they are legends.
