KPOP Hater reacts to TAEMIN (MOVE, WANT, Criminal, Advice, Guilty)

[@celeste7649]

I don't understand the comments... those are some of his best songs, if these guys don't like them that's their loss. No need to claim that Taemin has better songs or different songs that they would have liked instead, "oh you should have reacted to this one or that one". If they don't get it they don't get it. You don't need some random's approval to enjoy Taemin's art.

[@Maria-uv9pd]

Soooo many people in these comments! 😅

[@fromoncetotwice]

I think Kazinho is more of an impartial reactor than Atom to be honest. Atom has a surprisingly narrow taste of music, like he's not vibing with sensational vocals of Taemin, the bright rock pop kind of genre GFriend did and any songs he found repetitive for a strange reason... Literally no idea what he wants, and it's funny that he claims he is a KPOP listener lol Anyway, like some other comments said, if they don't get it they don't get it, you don't need their approval to appreciate Taemin's art. I just love Taemin's showing male vulnerability and the gayish vibes which straight men don't like.

[@avotia]

I agree, it wouldn't have changed anything. They found something to find fault with. If the listener is tired of Taemin's voice already on the second song.

[@memento_mori28]

Guys save yourselves 40 minutes of your life, they are both haters of kpop not just Taemin and are not even interested to know more, they're always nitpicking and not actually having valid criticism. I think they're just reacting to kpop vids because it gets them more views than their other content but they don't like anything and they understand nothing about the mvs or concepts. In exo video they critiqued their vocals (exo vocals, imagine that), for ateez they were straight up hating anything they could, in the bts ones they had issues with the brakes in the videos (????) like yeah you're watching an mv not an audio. I'm searching now for a way to block a KZbin channel cause I don't want to give them more views in the future.

[@kdfromage9952]

Coming back to say overall I did not particularly enjoy your commentary. There were some interesting segments where you focused on some technical aspects, but a lot of what you focused on was nit-picky and I couldn’t gain an understanding of your criterion. I understand that music is subjective-that’s one of it’s most wonderful aspects-and I don’t expect everyone to adore Taemin just as much as I do, but it is clear that you didn’t actually get what makes him the phenomenal artist that he is. Part of the fault lies in the selection of tracks chosen, but also partly by your complete disregard for the meaning of the lyrics, his expression and dancing, the visual scenes unfolding throughout the songs, the feeling. Why watch his MV’s if all of the above was irrelevant and you were just interested in analyzing his voice/production? That’s like analyzing a Van Gough masterwork by focusing only on the brushstrokes, or judging a heavenly French baguette by focusing only on the crumb… You could have made this video just by listening to the uploaded track only. To understand Taemin you have to take in ALL of what encompasses his Artistry. But hey, this is just my nit-picking opinion, right? 😒

[@milindawilson9175]

As Taemin has explained, "Guilty" is about a lover who DOESN'T feel guilty about all the bad things they have done in the relationship and they feel no shame or remorse for the pain and suffering they may have caused the other person. Which, if you connect it to the messages from his previous MVs, this easily could be interpreted as a metaphor for everything Taemin has gone through in his career and life. As an idol, he has been manipulated and controlled his whole life. Debuting at 14 years old, Taemin has lived his entire life in the public eye under a microscope, he is expected to be flawless and perfect, and people are constantly telling him what to do and how he should act, etc. However, now that he has turned 30, I think he is embracing a new chapter in his life where he is saying he is no longer going to allow people to manipulate him and he is officially taking back control. In other words, he's not going to feel guilty any more for being himself and doing what makes him happy. The story in the MV also makes more sense if you pair it with the 2 teaser videos that were released a few days before the MV dropped. In the teasers you will see Taemin being manipulated even more by outside forces and people who literally at one point hand him a gun and force him to shoot something or someone, which is all part of the metaphor that has to do with taking control of his life, etc. Taemin has been in the industry for more than 16 years as part of the legendary 5-member Kpop group SHINee and he has been a solo artist since 2014. "Guilty" is his title track on his 4th mini Korean solo album. (SHINee are still very much a group and Taemin is still a member. All the members of SHINee have debuted as solo artists, as a matter of fact, SHINee is the first SM group to have all its members debut as solo artists. Just because someone has a solo career doesn't mean they leave the group. Most idols who are members of groups also debut as solo artists, but that doesn't mean anything changes with their group. Solo promotions are one of the many side project that the group members participate in. It's all about getting their name and face out there as much as possible in order to promote themselves and their group as a way to drive album sales and viewership of all their other projects.) I think "Guilty" is a continuation of the themes surrounding Taemin's previous releases. Particularly connected to his Never Gonna Dance Again trilogy of albums -- "2 Kids", "Criminal" and "Idea" -- and Advice album themes. If you delve in deep you will see that "Guilty" could be interpreted as his relationship with fame and the different sides of who he is as a person and artist. Everything you see and hear can be thought of as a metaphor for life told using biblical references as an underlying theme showcasing Taemin's Catholic faith.The majority of Taemin's songs and MVs touch on concepts, stories and themes from the Bible, as a metaphor to explain what he has gone through growing up as an idol and the journey he has taken in order to find confidence in and acceptance with who he is as a person and an artist. With Taemin -- and all the members of SHINee -- you will never get the same thing twice. Everything he releases will be a new style and sound and, yet, it will still be very "Taemin". As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, SHINee are meant to be the first to do almost everything, and they are expected to come up with something new that no one has ever seen or heard before with every release of theirs. As Kpop's trendsetters, the members of SHINee reinvent the industry with every comeback. Taemin is the main dancer and a main vocalist of SHINee. However, because he is a member of SHINee, this means he can do it all. SHINee are known for the fact that there are no longer any fixed roles in their group, the main vocalists can rap and the rappers can fill in as main vocalists at any moment. However, what they are really recognized for is the fact that they are one of the best vocal groups to ever exist. All of the SHINee members are top tier singers and dancers. Now, if you haven't already, you need to check out Taemin's Killing Voice performance. I have a feeling when you watch his Killing Voice you will find that hearing him sing "Guilty," as well as his other songs, live that you will be even more impressed. There is a reason why Taemin is like none other.

I will never get tired of Taemin's vocals. He has some of my favorite vocals in all of kpop. Also American music has a lot of songs that spell words and they don't do it to be funny.

[@havok97818]

Individual tastes are subjective, and people are allowed to have their own opinions. I don’t begrudge these guys for that. But after checking out a number of their videos and trying to keep an open mind, at some point it’s like if everyone is coming to almost every video with the same complaints and criticisms about song choices, weird nitpicky criticisms about the songs, etc, it can’t all just be angry “k-pop stans” in the comments of all the videos. It would be one thing if I felt like I could kinda get a handle on what their tastes might be, but then they’ll spend like 5 mins picking apart some of the most minute details of a song but then turn around and give it like an 11, so you just ultimately end up confused. I think I just don’t vibe with their reactions, and that’s fine.

[@milindawilson9175]

The look and feel for "Move" is very specific, it's supposed to be androgynous and gender neutral. Early in his career when Taemin was growing up in SHINee he was known for his feminine look. The industry thought it was novel and cute to play up his feminine features. Being recognized for his delicate image, ended up giving him a real complex about the fact that people never saw him as a masculine man. It took him a long time to accept that he was known for his looks and to come to terms with the fact that everyone thought of him as a "pretty boy," etc. So, at this point in his career as a 24-year-old (He is 31 now) he was trying to make a statement about how he has now come to terms with just being himself and not caring what people think. Dancing is art and movement has no gender. "Move" is his title track on his 2nd Korean solo album, which was released in 2017. He debuted as a solo artist in 2014. There are 3 versions of his "Move" MV. Version #1 is the regular MV version, which you watched. Version #2 is his solo performance version that just highlights his dancing. Version #3 is the duo version, which focuses on the choreographer and him dancing together. Fun fact: The blue color you see throughout this MV is supposed to represent the cool, chill vibe of this song, but pearl aqua also is SHINee's fan color, so you will see aqua/blue/green shades with most everything to do with SHINee as a way to represent their connection as a group and their connection to their fans, etc. And just so you know, those background vocals aren't Taemin's. They actually chose to leave the songwriters' vocals in the song from when they recorded the guide track. I have seen interviews with Adien Lewis, one of the original songwriters and he was shocked to hear his voice still in the song. Usually when a Kpop company gets a song from a songwriter, especially a foreign songwriting team, they will translate it into Korean and record all the vocals using the artists' vocals or other Korean artists, etc. Therefore, it's very rare that a songwriter would have their original vocals in a Kpop song, however, this was one of the few times where SM didn't rerecord or change everything. If you're interested, here is a short clip of an interview with Adien Lewis talking about "Move", kzbin.info/www/bejne/noXbk5SfjN6lo6M. "Move" features all female dancers because the whole point of the song and dance is supposed to be about crossing gender boundaries and how just because you are male doesn't mean your dance has to be hyper masculine. Taemin uses what is traditionally considered more feminine dance moves to show how you can merge both feminine and masculine styles together to create something that can't be singled out as one gender or the other. This dance allowed a more mainstream audience to start to embrace less traditional gender roles within Kpop. "Move" is one of Taemin's most famous choreographies and it has become the dance he is most recognized for.This dance has inspired what is known as the "Move disease," and it is said that the dance is so catchy that you can't help but try to imitate it. There are literally hundreds of videos online of people attempting cover dances to this song. (It is on the level of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance and some of the most famous TiK Tok dance challenges.) However, no matter how good of a dancer they are, it is quickly apparent that there is just something about the way Taemin moves that can't be duplicated. Taemin is Taemin and there is no one else like him. The dance is never as sharp or precise as the way Taemin does it. That is why he is hands down considered one of the top two BEST dancers in the industry. Taemin's "Move" choreography is actually considered by professional dancers to be one of the most difficult dances to pull off because of the amount of control you have to have and the intricate movements. They say that if Taemin's dances look easy then that means they are extremely difficult and if they look difficult then they are almost impossible to pull off unless you are Taemin. There's a reason why EVERYONE looks up to him, even world-famous dancers. As Taemin has said numerous times in interviews and on variety shows, the key point in "Move's" choreography is literally supposed to be to stare into the camera like you are trying to seduce the person who is watching. So, you are right, that is exactly what Taemin is doing. The female dancer who is the featured dancer dancing with Taemin in the MV wasn't just any dancer, she is the choreographer who choreographed "Move". Her name is Sugawara Koharu and she is a Japanese choreographer who has choreographed dances for several Kpop groups, as well as American artists. She has worked with Taemin a lot over the years and she is the one that also choreographed Taemin's dance for his songs "Want," "Flame of Love" and "Sayonara Hitori" and helped choreograph Taemin and her performance on the competition program Hit the Stage -- "Devil" performance, etc., and she was one of 3 or 4 choreographers who helped choreograph Taemin's "Criminal." Taemin and Sugawara are really good friends. She was also the choreographer for SHINee's song "Good Evening," among others. She loves working with Taemin because they are a lot alike, and that is one of the reasons why she has been featured in several of Taemin's projects. Plus, Taemin and all the members of SHINee, are also one of the most famous artists in Japan and they all speak fluent Japanese, so they have no problem communicating through dance or language. :D You should now check out a live performance, as well as his dance practice video, so you can really see why this song is so iconic and discover how it literally changed the Kpop industry. Taemin's choreography is very much influenced by him. Although he has input in almost everything he does, he has choreographers that come up with the choreography for most of his dances and he then infuses it with his own ideas and style and makes it uniquely his. The way Taemin dances is just the way he moves. His movements are effortless. If you watch Taemin dance a lot, you will see that no matter who choreographs the dance, it will always be very Taemin-like. Many choreographers who have worked with him over the years have said that, with Taemin you can't help but allow him to move in whatever way his body takes him. Taemin is art in every sense of the word. :D Taemin's style of dance can't be defined. As he has said, he has worked his entire career to create a style of dance that is unlike anything in the Kpop industry. And I would argue that that now extends to the entire industry of dance. Taemin started out as a self-taught popper and locker without any dance training, and, even then, as a trainee it was clear his skills as a dancer went far beyond the average dancer. Over the years he has infused those popping and locking skills into his now more contemporary style of dance. But, when it comes to dancing, he can do it all and there is no one better at it than him. Taemin has had a solo career for almost 10 years and he has been a member of SHINee for more than 16 years. He has at least 12 solo albums and SHINee currently has 14 full length albums, plus dozens of mini albums, singles, repackaged albums, etc. And he is also a member of SuperM, which debuted in 2019. So, you won't run out of Taemin content to watch for a very long time. ;p Taemin has even held several solo concerts, as well as more than 100 concerts as a member of SHINee and a world tour as a member of SuperM.

[@milindawilson9175]

I see "Advice" as a continuation of the themes within Taemin's previous Never Gonna Dance Again album trilogy -- "2 Kids," "Criminal" and "Idea." With "Criminal" and "Idea," Taemin talks about being involved in a toxic relationship -- not necessarily a romantic relationship, but a metaphor for his relationship with fame -- in which he agrees to be manipulated almost to the point of being destroyed in order to become the artist we see today. But, in the end of "Idea," we see him become free from the box everyone wants to put him in and he comes to terms with his role as an idol. He has now formed his own "Idea" about himself and what it means to be an idol, etc. As Taemin explained during his VLive event for "Advice" -- which came out in 2021 -- "Advice" is like the end to the first chapter in his life, and it marks the beginning of the second chapter. The song seems to be his way of saying I am done caring to everyone who judged him and all those haters who spread rumors and misinformation about him. "Advice" is showing that he is now free and confident to be himself, breaking stereotypes and now only listening to himself. Taemin is just one of those performers that leaves you speechless every time he steps on stage. He was born to be a performer and that is one of the reasons why he has become known as the Korean Michael Jackson. That is also why, as one of the top two performers in the industry, he was made a member of SuperM. Taemin is an Idol of Idols and a legend of legends. (He is considered the blueprint for what it means to be a successful as a male solo artist. He was one of the first male idols from an active group to go solo, and he did it at such a young age, starting in 2014 at 21 years old. He has been a solo artist for more than half his career.) In "Advice" he's basically saying, "Stop trying to put me in a box, in which I'll never fit in." He is also speaking to everyone that says he's getting old, that he's just a Michael Jackson wannabe that doesn't sell a lot of albums because he tries too hard to be edgy, etc. He's rebelling against all those people who are constantly advising him to make more mainstream music, or to follow the traditional Kpop idol style, in order to boost his sales and his popularity. However, as Taemin is making clear in "Advice," that is not who he is and he will never be "normal" or "mainstream" and he is OK with that. In the scenes where you see him covered in ink, I think that is supposed to be him showing everyone how he is no longer the "unstained," cute maknae everyone wants to think of him as. The diamond you see painted on his hand when he is playing the piano, and you see drawn on his bicep, etc. is SHINee's symbol and all the pearl aqua blue/green colors you see in the MV is SHINee's official color. (The large tattoo of a Peony flower you can see on his hip is real. Hence why in the lyrics he says, "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after." In other words, he's saying he's tired of people thinking they even have a say in what he does with his body.) This song was specifically designed to not be like anything he has ever done before. He plays the piano, he raps, he shows off his falsetto notes, etc., which is different than what we often hear and see from him. He intentionally used this song to prove that he isn't one type of singer. People often think of Taemin as a sultry vocalist that sings in a breathy comfortable, less dynamic style. So, with this song he wants to prove to everyone that he can be unpredictable and try new things. Yet again, you can't put him in a box or tell him who to be. Everything you see in this MV is 100% Taemin, including the piano playing. Everything that Taemin's haters like to point out about him and say are reasons why he shouldn't be held to such high esteem, I find completely ridiculous. I don't think that anyone who actually knows him would ever say he has played it safe at any time in his career. If you think he is only one dimensional, and that he is trying to be anything other than himself, then you really don't know Taemin. Everything he does is different, out there and definitely not safe. It's always uniquely Taemin, and he couldn't do it any other way. Also, because Taemin is a member of SHINee, none of his songs are ever like anything you have ever heard or seen before from him. It will always have a new beat, style and sound. As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, SHINee is meant to be the first and they are expected to set the trend, and that includes the members' solo work. With every new song Taemin produces it's expected to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from him in any of his songs, even on the same album, and yet, it still will be uniquely Taemin-like. Which is another example of how you can never put him in a box or expect anything from him. :D Another theme in "Advice" is about how Taemin is embracing his androgynous side -- but on his own terms -- which I think is a continuation of the message in his "Move" MV. Early in his career when Taemin was growing up in SHINee -- he debuted in 2008 at 14 years old -- he was known for his delicate feminine features. It took him a long time to accept that he was recognized for his looks and to come to terms with the fact that everyone thought of him as a "pretty boy," etc. So, at this point in his career -- he is now 27 years old in this MV -- he is making a statement about how he has decided to be himself and no longer care what people think. Music is art and art has no gender. So, that is why in "Advice" you see him wearing hair extensions, fishnets and women's Supreme sportswear, etc. But if you notice, his choreography is very fast paced and sharp, which is hyper masculine -- a complete contrast to the "feminine" image people want to give him. You also see him wearing makeup, but it's smeared on his face, as if to say, "people may think of me as a 'Pretty Boy,' but I don't care about looking pretty." In the lyrics he is saying, "It's creepy how people are always looking to cause drama, so stop trying to create scandals in my life that don't really exist. It's all just stories you make up." He's tired of all those people who seem to look for reasons to cause drama, where none really exists. Where he says "floppy" in the lyrics, I think he's talking about knowing about or hearing firsthand the things people are saying about him, but he is choosing not to pay attention to them because what they're saying is flopping or doesn't hold any weight or have any substance, etc. "Advice" just proves that every time people try to put Taemin in a box, he destroys it and keeps coming back with something more unique and never seen before. Hence, why in the choreography he puts his hands in front of his face and creates a movement that looks like an animated mouth talking. It represents how everyone keeps talking about him and what they are saying is nonsense, which makes them look and sound ridiculous, etc. Which is why in the lyrics he says, "You will never get the keys to my lock" because he doesn't ever plan to give people what they want and allow them access to his secrets and personal life, etc. (Those people who like to gossip about him will never truly know the real him.) I interpret the "One (piece of) Advice" he is talking about in the lyrics as a reference to the advice he keeps being given about being more mainstream, but he's saying, "stop trying to make me conform to the image you have in your head of who I should be and what I should do." In other words, take all that time and effort you have been using to come up with ways to talk about how he doesn't fit in, etc. and put it to better use. "Follow my own advice" and do something original for once. And the crucifixion pose at the end of "Advice" is sort of a signature pose for him. I interpret it to be like he is saying, "And that is the end, this is my final word, take it or leave it, but don't doubt me. I have given it my all and laid everything I had out there for you," etc. You should really see his "Advice" dance practice as well. It's a good way to see the full choreography without any cuts, edits or ackward camera angles.

Taemin is the most talented artist in the K-pop industry let’s just say it as it is 👏👌❤️🇬🇧

[@taeminazz4845]

I think they just don't vibe with Taemin. Because none of these songs sounds the same 🤣. Also to say they're getting tired of his vocal that was actually wild. When it comes to Taemin, they should pay attention to everything, lyrics, emotions, dance, etc but they only focus on production! Anyway, it's safe to say Taemin isn't for them and it's okay, not everyone can appreciate ART 😌💫. I'm not sure if they'll like other Taemin's songs but yeah I still want to see how far their opinions go

I really dislike that Japanese tracks typically get blocked from reaction videos because Sayonara Hitori & Flame of Love are icons in his discography imo. Taemin does beautiful ballads too on his b-sides like Hypnosis, Soldier, & I’m Crying. Loads of drama on Heaven, Black Rose, Identity. Brilliant dance tracks like Danger, Sexuality, Famous, & Guess Who. Tbh I go to Taemin for full albums more so than his singles. The albums don’t disappoint.

[@king_of_pop_taemin]

☝🏼‼️Taemin doesn't need your approval and appreciation because he is already an idol of idols at the age of 24, he has seeded the industry, introduced a new genre of dance and song performance. Taemin has inspired 230 idols and choreographers to become his followers and fans. It's so funny that you don't like the sexiness in Taemin's voice if this song implies seduction, temptation. Just say that you don't like the way he breathes.😂 Because Taemin's vocals are praised even by opera singers, how he developed them and invented a new vocal technique. They show Taemin as an example to their students who are learning to sing. Also, you didn't say anything about the choreography when he is the best dancer in K-pop, according to professional choreographers from all over the world. So dear Taemin fans, don't recommend them Taemin's magnificent b-sides and ballads. This is just basic male envy.

I was happy yet scared to watch the reactions. Better than I might have expected. We all know Taemin as the Idol of Idols who is renouned for his dancing and artistry as much as his vocals. Those just happen to be things not actually appreciated by these guys. But Taemin does have a vast catalog of music with a great deal of versatility they're just more Bsides instead of songs with music videos. We'll see if a part 2 turns up and what gets chosen.

[@BrooklynStitcher]

Just to be clear Taemin is still a member of Shinee. He signed with a different label for his solo work. He's been with Shinee going on 17 years and this mini album celebrates his 10 years as a solo artist. ETA: What I've found is that when people get overly analytical about art...means those who can't do tend to want to over analyze those who can do. And Taemin has been in the business and successful since he was 14.

[@avotia]

Maybe spelling guilty is seems silly to you as an English speaker, I don't think anyone else has this problem. Same with Rizzness. I don't understand why you watch the video at all, in my opinion you should have chosen songs from bside he has many songs with good production. After all, you are not interested in the meaning or the visuals. At least you have never paid attention to these aspects. After your comments I became curious whether you write your own music or are you producers? And if so, I would like to listen to your work out of curiosity.

In "Want" Taemin is supposed to be portraying Lucifer. That's why he seems to have a love affair with those snakes. (The ones he is holding are real snakes.) And, like Lucifer, he is supposed to be seducing the audience and the girl using his devilish powers, which is why the choreography looks like he is slithering like a snake. The gate you see him standing in front of is supposed to be a representation of "The Gates of Hell" from French artist Auguste Rodin. Taemin is Catholic, and most of his MVs showcase his faith as it tells the story using numerous Biblical references. Fun fact: That's not just any female dancer in Taemin's "Want" MV. The girl you see highlighted in the shadows is Yoo JiMin (Karina) who is the leader and main dancer of aespa, which is also an SM Entertainment group. She participated in this song as a rookie trainee even before aespa's debut. ("Want" was released in February 2019 and aespa didn't debut until November 2020.) She also participated in some of his live comeback stage performances and she was in his "Want" dance practice video. "Want" is one of those songs that the lyrics take the song and performance up to the next level. :D The lyrics give everything a whole other feel and it helps to explain the images and story you see being told in the MV. Many people think that "Want" has a vampire vibe, and I can see where some might get the vampire feel from this MV. After all, one of Taemin's nicknames is SHINee's eternal vampire because in some performances and MVs, the way he looks and the aesthetic of the performance gives him a vampire image. But if you understand the story he is trying to tell within the MV, it's much deeper than that. The style and aesthetic in "Want" is just the kind of vibe we have all come to expect from Taemin. He has a very sensual/sexy way of moving and, as a soloist, it's kind of his signature thing.That is why all his songs are titles such as "Danger," "Soldier" "Sexuality," "Tiger," "Press Your Number," "Guess Who," "Mystery Lover," "Hypnosis," "Crazy 4 U," "Flame of Love," " Under My Skin," "Thirsty," "Want," "Criminal," etc. or "Ace," "Already", "Door, "Pretty Boy," "Move" "Artistic Groove," "Famous," "Idea," etc. Each song is meant to show you exactly why he is one of the best in the industry even just by their titles. I find it interesting that all of his songs, with the titles alone, tell you exactly what Taemin is all about. If you look at all the titles of his songs, you will see that the titles convey one of two things about him, either painting a picture of his sexy and sensual onstage personality, or they explain his dedication and passion as an artist. Taemin is very unique and never does the same thing twice, he is constantly switching up his sound and dance style. However, you will see that it will always be very Taemin-like. Many choreographers who have worked with him over the years have said that, with Taemin you can't help but allow him to move in whatever way his body takes him. Taemin is art in every sense of the word. :D Taemin started when he was a child by copying dancers that he saw on TV such as Michael Jackson and Kpop star Bi Rain. And he didn't have any formal training until he joined SM. As trainees, SM originally planned to make SHINee a hip-hop group, so Taemin's dance training started out focusing on hip-hop dance styles like popping and locking. However, over the years, he has devoted himself to learning every style of dance. Now he is considered one of the top two best dancers. Taemin is literally the artist that everyone within the Kpop industry looks up to and respects. There really is no one that pushes him or holds him to a higher standard then himself. Taemin has said that he really has never taken a true vacation since he was a trainee -- he started with SM Entertainment when he was around 11 years old -- and he doesn't know what to do if he isn't constantly working and training. As he has said, there has never been anything that has come easy to him and he has only gotten to where he is today because he has worked hard to accomplish everything. He is constantly pushing himself to become the best of the best in everything he does. As a member of SHINee, Taemin has trained his entire career to be able to pull off this type of intense and intricate dancing while singing live and always sounding flawless the whole time. (SHINee debuted in 2008 when Taemin was only 14 years old.) That is what SHINee are known for. So not only is Taemin an amazing dancer -- considered one of the top two dancers in all of Kpop (Kai from EXO, who happens to be Taemin's best friend since trainee days, and a fellow member of the Kpop supergroup SuperM) -- but he is also one of the best singers in the industry, and the 5 members of SHINee make up one of the top groups, that everyone looks up to and dreams of even coming close to being as good as. Taemin has released at least one song or album -- most of the time way more than just one -- as part of SHINee, as a member of a project group, as a solo artist or as a member of SuperM every year since SHINee's debut. (Except for 2022 because he was on hiatus while he carried out his public service duties as part of his military requirements.) He is one of the only idols who has debuted in 3 Kpop generations -- second gen. with SHINee, third gen. as a solo artist and 4th gen. in 2019 as a member of SuperM -- and yet he is the same age or younger than most 3rd and even some 4th gen idols.

[@milindawilson9175]

"Criminal" is the second part of Taemin's Never Gonna Dance Again album that came out in 2021. It's part of a trilogy, which started with his prologue "2 Kids," and continued with "Criminal," which is part of Act 1 of the album. And it was followed up by "Idea," which is part of Act 2 of the album and it brings the whole concept full circle. And now his follow up release, "Advice," has become the epilogue to the story. Taemin said in an interview: "The two acts put together tell a story. '2 Kids’ is about growing pains and depicts the story prior to the story in the album. You can think of '2 Kids' as a teaser before the movie called 'Never Gonna Dance Again.' Act 1 shows a new side of me. I think it’ll be something you’ve never seen in K-pop before. And Act 2 is the end-all-be-all. It’s the ultimate level of intensity. Never Gonna Dance Again’ was originally the name of the concept. Because it doesn’t make sense for me to stop dancing. But I wanted to give a sense of rebellion with the irony of the title.” Just so you know, the Taemin you see is not necessarily the criminal in his "Criminal" MV. I see him as the victim who is being held captive by the criminal. The criminal is his lover (i.e. the other side of his personality) that he is singing about, which is a metaphor for the pressure he feels under as a Kpop idol. The song is about living in a toxic relationship and being brainwashed by a lover. He has now fallen in love with the person (or thing -- i.e. his career) who is inflicting all the pain and suffering on him, so now he accepts the abuse as a normal part of the relationship. Even though he is being abused by that person -- possibly a metaphor for the pressure he is creating for himself with the need to always be the best in everything he does -- he can't help but love them and allow them to continue to hurt him, etc. All the abuse is happening to him, he is not hurting anyone else or doing anything criminal himself. Therefore, the story isn't about Taemin being a criminal. Notice, the S.W.A.T. team isn't arresting him. They pretty much walk right past Taemin and ignore him as they search for the criminal. The "boss" vibe is a facade he puts on to make people believe he is in control, but as we see in the choreography, he is being manipulated by all the outside forces around him. For example, we see him lying across the backup dancers backs and they pick him up and manipulate him to do what they want him to do at that moment. A lot of his dance moves are designed to make him look like a marionette puppet that is being pulled around by strings and being told what to do. Which is what we see when he is crouched down and he creates that wiggly, wave movement in the dance, etc. As part of the story, he has been held captive for so long that, as it says in the lyrics of the song, he is now suffering from Stockholm syndrome, so he is no longer fighting the abuse and that is why you see him throw his bindings away. The criminal -- which is a metaphor for the pressure he has felt in his career -- no longer has to tie him up to keep him there. (Because he has fallen in love with the pain and suffering he inflicts on himself as an artist, etc.) The backup dancers represent the forces he is struggling against as he fights with his mind over whether to stay or go, etc. Also, pirates didn't just wear eye patches because they injured one of their eyes. Eye patches were more often worn by thieves who had perfect eyesight. An eye patch helps you to see better in the dark or in low light. If you shield your eyes from bright light, when you enter a dark room and remove the eye patch, your eyes adjust more quickly to the dark. This allowed pirates and thieves to be able to see better and be able to get in and get out more quickly as they go from bright daylight to darkness of a low lit room or hull of a ship, etc. Therefore, I think the eye patch that Taemin wears and the masks covering one eye of the backup dancers is a metaphor for being able to see in the dark and how Taemin is saying he has now been in the industry long enough to understand what the "criminal" is doing to him -- i.e. he knows he needs to shield himself from the bright lights of fame in order to see what is happening in the dark -- and he is fully aware of what he is sacrificing, but he loves what he does too much to leave, etc. Fun fact: It was Taemin's idea to include the police blotter/news clips in that part of the song. If you notice, the sound bites are from all over the world and they are speaking multiple languages. This album's whole concept is a metaphor for his life and career. With every release from this album, the concept was designed to be darker then the last. In "2 Kids" he was emotionally and physically beating himself up with regrets. In "Criminal" he was living in a toxic relationship. In "Idea" he takes the theme one step further, and says that even though it was my idea and my plan to live this life, nothing comes without a price, and because of that need for perfection, any chance of being average or living a regular life is pretty much dead. Taemin has sacrificed everything to become the magnificent and unique performer and person that we know him as today. But there really is no one that pushes him or holds him to a higher standard then himself. Taemin has said that he really has never taken a true vacation since he was a trainee -- he started with SM Entertainment when he was around 11 years old -- and he doesn't know what to do if he isn't constantly working and training. As he has said, there has never been anything that has come easy to him and he has only gotten to where he is today because he has worked hard to accomplish everything. He is constantly pushing himself to become the best of the best in everything he does. All of Taemin's dances tell a story. As he has said, he specifically designs his choreography to be a part of the story within the song and MV. So, "Criminal" is supposed to be slightly creepy, as well as sexy. He is literally being abused and asking you to please "destroy me more." As a member of SHINee, Taemin has trained his entire career to be able to pull off this type of intense and intricate dancing while singing live and always sounding flawless the whole time. (SHINee debuted in 2008 when Taemin was only 14 years old.) That is what SHINee are known for. So not only is Taemin an amazing dancer -- considered one of the top two dancers in all of Kpop -- but he is also one of the best singers in the industry, and the 5 members of SHINee make up one of the top groups, that everyone looks up to and dreams of even coming close to being as good as. If you are impressed with Taemin's dancing, not only should you see his dance practice video for "Criminal," but just wait until you see a live performance. You will be even more blown away. And if you want to see Taemin explain the concept behind his dance moves, watch a tutorial video he did where he explains the dance to Jeno and Mark from NCT.

If kpx don't like something that much, it's not the end of the world, it's just an opinion of two people and kpop is not even their preferred music genre.

Taemin is still in SHINee though. He's just focusing with his solo as of now

I love all of these songs, don't get me wrong. Guilty and Criminal are in my top 10 taemin tracks from his entire discography. But it's very apparent that whoever recommended these doesn't know too much about his versatility as an artist. Move and Want are great, but they aren't very musically interesting, since they're more suited for the performance overall and the atmosphere he creates around them. These are his most famous songs because of the amazing performances and the ability to appeal to the general masses. But they for sure do not showcase him as the artist he is. Some of his other songs that are also musically interesting: - Sexy in the Air (he released this like a week ago) - Drip Drop - IDEA - Goodbye (Japanese song) - The Rizzness (don't let the title dissuade you, I promise it's actually good) Anything with true musicality you'd need to dive into his albums. If you ever do a deeper dive, there are so many gems in his discography. But overall, his title tracks are really made to be enjoyed as a whole performance, rather than just for the production/composition.

You two are evaluating songwriting more than anything.. You are barely actually evaluating Taemin the artist who is performing and interpreting songs and choreography. Your evaluation system would be spot on if the artist wrote, composed, produced as well as performed their work. That is not the case with Taemin under SM. He has a lot more involvement in songwriting and more artistic control in his latest album Eternal under BPM. Taemin is a killer performer and where a song may lack varied songwriting elements, I guarantee you the choreo in those parts is super intense , varried, and or difficult. So, It is balanced. I for one, can listen to all of Taemin’s music 24/7 and never get bored. His voice is soothing. His ability to dance various genres flawlessly is captivating and his stage presence is hypnotizing. 100000/13

I quite enjoyed your honest thoughts till the last song, where you guys harped on about the spelling of Guilty perhaps a little too long. Much like your experience with the synth sound, I found it fatiguing and even borderline petty. Could be a cultural thing where they don't realise the effect of spelling a word could be viewed as "cringe" to non-Korean cultures. Also agree with another commenter who said the list isn't the best representation of his overall work. Move, Want and Criminal are all fan favourites, and have that signature Taemin sound, but his body of work is definitely more varied. You're also missing the visual element of the songs, which makes up a crucial part of Kpop. He's not just a singer, he's an artist and performer with the impressive and engaging choreography. He's often cited as one of the industry's best dancers. It's one of the main points that sets him apart from other artists. Anyway, I still appreciate honesty over sugarcoated commentary aimed at gaining likes and followers, so well done for having the courage to express your true opinions.

i genuinely started tweaking when they said they didn’t like the bridge for criminal…

[@sunoosmom4011]

I get it, if his voice doesn't make your brain tingle then it's not going to. His voice makes my brain tingle and that's why I'm obsessed.

[@jamiep8087]

Idea should've been on the list instead of Want. Want is a great song, but Idea would've at least showcased more of Taemin's versatility. Oh well, here's hoping for part 2.

[@Sarah-wf3xv]

aaaaah finally someone who feels the same about the chorus spelling guilty! i do not like it. i just try to ignore it cuz the song is soooo good

[@halane4790]

I am there too, I hate spelling in general. AND HE GOES AND DOES IT AGAIN IN SITA, HE TRULY HATES ME XD

[@bea_hae_tae9392]

Danger or Black Rose would definitely be a good choice with IDEA or even 2KIDS it's a bit strange that someone didn't recommend more diverse songs to you

[@spectral__]

I wouldn't have picked these. Press Your Number, Idea and Sexy in the Air should replace Want, Criminal, and Advice.

[@luisaherrera1484]

At this point i think Atom became the hater, kazinho gives more reasonable critics and pays more attention to what he's listening, i kind of understand him, as a former metalhead to the bone i would have shared the same thoughts until i opened to different kinds of music, nowadays im a big shawol and taemin's fan but besides that i don't blame him, on the other side atom just ugh makes me mad

[@jenniferortiz1204]

You missed the versatility of him.. I recommended: flame of love, danger, idea, sayonara hitori
