11:02 Aaron : If I was into guys I would have been dying over here right now Ok shall we call that the *Taemin Effect* ?? 😂

[@azpcshawol9615]

Jaja jaja yes!!! Thats Taemin

[@jazminesmeralda8512]

Yesssss

[@mel_liz19]

I laughed a bit at this part. Taemin's doing it every time

[@Mar-kc6cv]

YES LOL

[@onewdubu8080]

"Taemin is not the person he used to be....."

[@smilexlovexlive]

“If I were into guys..” famous last words, Aaron! You will come to learn, as many men and woman have learned before you, that you don’t need to be into men to be into TAEMIN 😎

[@kristalgic1534]

He is a master of effortless sexiness, and has this masculine yet androgynous elegance about him. He's so talented in everything he does that he makes it look easy. I dont care too much for boy groups, but I am consistently impressed by Taemin.

[@jungwoososick]

Aaron said in the future he woud react to Taemin's discography more and oh when that time comes, I can't wait for him to react on taemin's personality too lmaoo

[@talitawellidacastropereira4074]

yes I want it so bad! I wan to see him react to our bright ball of sunlight in his day life.

[@brockbeckham7045]

You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf these days :)

[@houstoncasey5880]

@Brock Beckham yea, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)

[@choikey666]

Taemin did it again.. Lol

[@talitawellidacastropereira4074]

Taemin evocate sensuality in the most pure form, he don't need do be half naked to make you wonder. His eyes like a serpent, his smooth voice, his androginy, his atmosfere it's on another level.

[@mariposasabia]

I vote for a reaction to Taemin - Slave or Sexuality

[@hayleycameron4591]

And tease 😳🤣

[@azpcshawol9615]

OMG nouu!!!! It's too soon, he would pass out Up sexuality!!! 😂😂🤣 I was trying to do right thing

[@mariposasabia]

@@azpcshawol9615 hmmm welll Sexuality is more for the performance aspect of it.... Slave is for the seduction I think this combo would make him fall for Taemin more 🤣

[@mariao.r5896]

Fun fact: Karina de Aespa was a dancer in the promotions of "want" and she had a little solo with Taemin.

[@nataliah3243]

I love the Spanish touch of "de Aespa" 😁

[@yeahyen]

she's the girl in the shadows in this MV too. During the bridge. She's at the dance practice video as well

[@anitbubu3064]

Taemin is a legend

[@kur4mon445]

His moves are so so smooth

[@nargisjahan3302]

Taemi is his own genre.....I bet anybody or any idol try to incorporate those signature fluid moves it will never be as good or precise as Taemin himself 😌

[@lei6v636]

Yes Taemin so fluid next react to IDEA That's insane! Thank you for loving him! Looking forward for more! And to SHINee! Thank you so much.

[@rorawol8608]

For the b-sides I heavily recommend Heaven and Black Rose

[@jan_4362]

He has an AMAZING discography I’ll tell you that

[@Saddlemomma]

Remember back with "Criminal" I told you Taemin was deep, intellectual, and displays his faith within his songs? Well, "Want" is another perfect example of the duality of Taemin and his depth with his music. His faith is on full display here, but hidden to those who don't subscribe to, or appreciate his worldview. However, that message is very present/subliminal for those of us who do appreciate and share this commonality, and for us there's much more to discover. The entire MV is an object lesson into the perils of temptation, lust, greed and sin. Taemin is the tempter (snake), and the message is delivered masterfully through the biblical imagery and metaphors. If you look deeply enough, it actually retells the entire story of Genesis 3 and gives a little hint of the salvation message at the end. Taemin opens the MV by dancing in slow, hypnotic, snake-like movements. Snakes/Serpents which represent the idea of the tempter in the Bible (In the ancient Hebrew - which derives from Akkadian & Ugaritic - the word "snake/serpent" ["nchsh"] used in this particular way grammatically in Gen. 3, is a triple entendre meaning "divine shining being". The snake was ancient iconography denoting spiritual/godly figures.) Eve wasn't talking with a snake, but an angel or some other divine shining being. The glowing, bright white shirt Taemin wears fits in perfectly with the symbolism for "shining" and "the light". The chief adversary of Christ, Lucifer, was the "Light Bearer", or "The Shining One". As I explained earlier - divine shining being. Thus I wouldn't be surprised that this part of his wardrobe was very intentional. Taemin is all about the little details. Lucifer was supposedly the most beautiful angel....until he fell. (The word "satan" is a misnomer which actually means "messenger" in the ancient Hebrew/Aramaic, as in the incident with Job. It became a proper noun later during the intertestamental period and then appeared in the NT.). In addition there are creepy demonic-looking beings around him at certain points when you slow it down. Although he's beautiful, he's hiding his demonic side in order to draw you in....a wolf in sheep's clothing. Just before the bridge, there is a brief shot of a neon red/orange cross behind him, and he mimics the posture of Christ on the cross (which is a signature pose for him and will see in many of his dance postures. In another scene, during the bridge, Taemin is elevated above the snakes and calls them to him because he's their father - the father of lies. The tempter in the garden was a master at twisting the truth, which lured Eve to sin, and she then led Adam to do the same. Behind him is a photo of him with his eyes covered: see no evil here, just gaze at my beauty and listen to what I say. You also get a visual of a solar eclipse. Again a reference to Christ's death on the cross, as there was (according to both the Bible and present day astronomers) a solar eclipse when Christ died on the cross. Even the lyrics reflect this theme: "The minute you take me in you'll be wanting more," in other words an addiction is formed. "....The sweetness of the forbidden apple...," tastes good, but once you get a little taste of sin, that which is forbidden, you'll want more and more because it "...awakens your senses," (in the Bible, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they became aware of the "knowledge of good and evil") and you will continually "...thirst for more." He'll "....wake you up from the silence of your deep sea." In ancient biblical times, the "sea" was a metaphor for chaos, because it couldn't be controlled. This is why the Bible (in Revelation) says there will be no seas = no more chaos. When Adam and Eve were awakened to knowledge of good and evil, chaos ensued upon the Earth. He'll "help you see a new world," but is this really a good new world when innocence is stripped from you? "I'm your toy, I'll make you innocent." Most toys appear innocent and signify the innocence you had as a young child, but the apple (forbidden fruit) looked innocent too and "appeared" good to eat. Many poisonous things appear beautiful and delectable but those very qualities lure the unsuspecting victim to their death. It was the serpent who distorted the truth and tempted with the one "forbidden apple" rather than the other acceptable fruit. Sin invades so slowly and subtly that you don't even realize it's happening until you're already addicted to it, and you have no clue because you're "...relying on your own self-control...moved by your body's and soul's" dark desires. The tempter says, "Open your eyes. What do you want? I'LL MAKE YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU NEVER KNEW." Exactly. Adam and Eve never knew sin, until the tempter tricked them and revealed all and after that, humanity has always wanted more. Temptation gives birth to greed, lust, jealousy....all the 7 deadly sins. Before you know it, you have been gently and seductively led right to Rodin's famous "Gates of Hell" sculpture at the end of the MV. You are left with a choice: 1) Embrace the sin and willingly go through those gates (Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden because they chose sin and God appointed Cherubim with swords of flame to guard the gates of Eden so no one could ever enter again), or wash yourself clean in pure (holy) water (Christ promised to gift us with living water -- Taemin also has a song called, "Holy Water"), and there's only one way to do that - by believing in and accepting Christ as your savior. I'm sure there's probably much more that I've missed. So, once again, you can see how Taemin's lyrics can be interpreted simply as they appear, or once you study the meticulous details that Taemin is famous for infusing into his work, you may find a message that's a little uncomfortable for some and more than you bargained for...lol. For another good song with a strong message and precision dancing that truly looks like it's been sped up (but not), check out his MV for "Famous". It, as well as "Want" also has a dance practice too. Hopefully, someone on Patreon will request it! Thanks for another great reaction to our Baby Cheese, Taeminnie!

[@hinasagheer2041]

that is soo cool. thanks.

[@ericacella1180]

That's amazing!

[@ireneserrano4570]

It confuses me that he identifies himself both as the tempter -satan, and as the saviour -christ with the cross posture and symbol

[@ericacella1180]

@@ireneserrano4570 i think it's all about the duality. The bad in the good and the good in the bad.

[@ireneserrano4570]

@@ericacella1180 yes, that's what i thought, and the duality is common in all his music and even his own personality. It's just that after reading all those detailed Bible references i got lost in the religious representation as both satan and as christ..

[@이태민의애롬누나]

Taemin is another leveled creature.

[@duaaqabel]

Amazing soloist yet so underrated For me he was working for shinee when they weren't active as I got into shinee because of him

[@Carolina-wz2qo]

If you're gonna get into Taemin's music you should keep in mind that he's very religious but not in the way you'd expect, so his sole purpose in his entire discography is making Biblical imagery as sexy as possible and he's tragically succeeding

[@falguninimje7019]

Love this comment! Tragically succeeding lmao

[@Carolina-wz2qo]

@@lorieribeirodasilva1858 he's christian i think? but i said not in the way you'd expect bcs he uses religious imagery in a kind of scandalous way, he makes it pretty sensual and dark, which is not the way most super religious artists use it. saying this as someone from a very religious family, his MVs are the kind of art bible thumpers would try to ban for devil worship or smt

[@azpcshawol9615]

Now I understand Aaron's reaction about Taemin yesterday in "We do" by SuperM 😆🤣

[@trouvaille1558]

I was very excited for this, as it is one of my favorite songs from Taemin. I recommend you watch (not necessary react) his dance practice videos since you're interested in his dance style, also his live stages which showcase his artistry and vision. Yes yes, his role model is MJ and you can see how that influenced his music. I was very excited to see you react to 7:15, the shift between the bridge and chorus gives a very MJ vibes which I live for!!

[@bhavanadoshi3878]

I’m so happy for more Taemin to come on your channel in the future, I will wait patiently :) I hope you’ll check out Taemin’s MVs in chronological order, starting with Danger, but please check out his live performances as well, cause Taemin live really hits differently. As for b-side tracks I’m really hoping for your reactions to Rise (live from Sirius tour), Heaven and Black Rose (from his latest solo promotions), Stone Heart (from any live performance), Slave (from Xtm tour), oh God there’s so much stuff to see, but I think that’s a good start! :)

[@melikec.4433]

TAEMIN IDEA!!!! It is connected to CRIMINAL

[@raven8852]

"WANT" is the song that brought me into SHINee World! I totally agree what you said. I'm not sure you would like "IDEA, the more strong song or not. However, that's definitely also another art as CRIMINAL. If you have time, I recommend you to watch that music video. Taemin is not only a singer/dancer, he's really a true artist. No one do the same music or concept like him. He's so unique. Before he goes into the military, he will release his solo album on May. Plz stay tuned on him. He never makes us disappointed!

[@Ave0_]

Waiting for ur reaction to the rest of taemin's songs💜💜

[@jazzy8895]

Please react to Taemin's "Drip Drop". It's not a title track, but it's phenomenal, and imo one of his best choreographies. There are many amazing tracks from him (Idea is also a great choice), but I feel like that one really shows you how much versatility he has.

[@bea_hae_tae9392]

Taemin is a complete package from vocals to dance, costumes and accessories. His music video is top notch Taemin and his mysticism fit so well with this piece. Thus, watching MV ends when TAEMIN seduces you instead of the snake

I like "I'm your eyes" and "I'm your toys" parts matching to "believe in your self control". It shows the theme of this song the best, you feel tested until the limit as the snake seduced the eve and you just get to submit to what he shows and thirst for more. I'm not sure it makes sense(my english!), but anyway listening want and idea it's perfect.

I love that you notice and point out the details in Taemin’s dancing. He’s SO good at “filling in the blanks” with subtle and perfectly timed popping, head movements, a flourish of the hand, etc. Many dance covers by other idols feel emptier because they don’t include these small but intricate details

oh wow i wasn't expecting this stromae reference. i thought i misheard it for a second. The song he wanted to talk about is "quand c'est ? " which means "when will it be? " (rough translation), it's a wordplay with "cancer". He's an amazing artist as well
