Taemin is the superstar, the real legend of Kpop and the reason for that is not only that he’s an amazing, mesmerizing dancer (for me absolutely the best in Kpop, I just adore his unique, fluid yet sharp style of dancing), but he truly excels in every aspect of the performance art - he’s got amazing, very versatile vocals, super ethereal, androgynous and breathtaking looks and he’s got huge, creative brain to come up with lyrics and visual concepts like nobody else in the business! He’s my favorite artist out there and I truly hope you’ll check out much more of his amazing body of work! Please react to Criminal, IDEA, Move and Want next!

[@danteshail136]

It's so funny to me when people are like 'why i can not dance like that?' well becuse you do not have years and years of practice. Taemin started dancing when he was little boy for several hours a day, sometimes more than 10 hours a day. He debuted in 14 years of age. It's sound exactly the same as 'why i can not run as fast as Usain Bolt?' Talent is a great bonus, but all of them are so hard working people, respect out of the roof.

Taemin is called the King of Kpop for a reason. He is the Best dancer un Kpop and the Best solo artist there. He has a lo of wannabes in the industry.. that's why he is Idol's Idol

[@mimicarat13]

Taemin is such a talented person

[@saja9796]

Yes more of the KING Taemin and Shinee they're legendsss you're gonna love their stuff for sure 🔥

[@annettewindow]

You really need to see Taemin dancing and singing to his iconic song “Move”. I thoroughly recommend this iconic dance MV…even his choreo practice videos for “Move” are amazing

[@vantastic5540]

Your enthusiasm is so refreshing. Taemin is an incredible artist (ACE) - the younger groups hold him on the highest level as one of the best idols in the business. We're waiting patiently for him to finish his military service so that we can have Shinee and SuperM comebacks.

[@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", "Advice" is like the end to the first chapter in his life, and the beginning of his second chapter, which will be after he completes his military service. (He enlisted May 30, 2021, and he will be on hiatus until April as he fulfills his duty to his country.) 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. And the title of the industry's BEST dancer isn't just a fan's opinion but it's a widely agreed upon title bestowed on Taemin by his peers and the industry as a whole. 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 official symbol, and all the pearl aqua blue/green colors you see in the MV is SHINee's official color. (The large tattoo on his hip is real. Hence why in the lyrics he says, "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after." 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 anytime 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 every 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 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 -- 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 sports wear, 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 everytime 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 I don't fit in, etc. and put it to better use. "Follow my own advice" and do something original for once. As a devout Catholic, Taemin often uses Biblical references and metaphors in his songs and MVs. 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 gave it my all and laid everything I had out there for you," etc. If you are impressed with Taemin's dancing in this MV, just wait until you see him dance live, as well as his dance practice video on SM's new SMP Floor channel. You will be even more blown away. As I said, Taemin is on a whole other level.

[@Saddlemomma]

Yes, there is a dance practice for this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnTCZ3Wwr5aqptk . All the SHINee members are insanely talented, and extremely respected and revered in the industry. They have been together 17-18 years now and are true brothers in spirit. They all soloists -- phenomenal vocalists, rappers, dancers, songwriters...in short, they are all, all-rounders! To understand Taemin's music, you need to know him. Taemin infuses himself and his life experiences into most of his work. He is also very deep and thought-provoking with his concepts. Another thing to remember is that Taemin is a devout Christian (of the Catholic variety) and regularly infuses his MVs and lyrics with Christian metaphors, symbolism, iconography, allegories and allusions. So with each MV/song, you must look for those in order to properly interpret his underlying messages. For instance, Taemin regularly incorporates his iconic T-Pose in his dancing (as you see in the ending of this MV). This is a representation of the Cross. Often you will also see him make the sign of the Cross in his choreos, dance practices, and performances -- multiple times in some situations like his live performance of "Heaven". Taemin's faith is who he is, and he's not shy about it. To overlook this aspect of him as a person and artist is to miss much of his art. Lastly, Taemin's music often involves two to three meanings within one MV, which may include his real-life experiences, journey of his faith, or related to the SMC Universe storyline. In short, there is A LOT to unpack within a Taemin MV. Each and every little detail means something and since each one is his vision for his overall musical theme, he's involved in every little detail. Now with "Advice", you need to understand that it is the epilogue for Taemin's 2020 full-length, 2-part album, "Never Gonna Dance Again" (NGDA) Acts 1 and 2. The story begins with its prologue "2 Kids" of Act 1 which details the schism of his ego into 2 separate egos causing a "break-up" in his mind: the innocent 14 YO kid who debuted with SHINee in 2008 and the person he is tempted to become as an idol idolized and tempted by fame. "Criminal" MV (Act 1 Title track) details the resulting struggle of the two egos through the lens of Stockholm syndrome wherein Taemin is both the victim and "criminal" within his own mind; and "IDEA" MV (Act 2 title track) reveals the climactic battle of the two egos portrayed through the concept of Plato's Theory of Forms which states that any created being (form) cannot create itself. Only an outside power/being can be the creator and only that creator (Messiah) can make or be perfection. This philosophy fits in perfectly with Taemin's Christian worldview. The final resolution of this personal story is revealed here with this MV, "Advice" showing the new, battle-scared yet stronger Taemin who will no longer defer to the "One" (collective) advice of others regarding his music (including saesangs and haters), or his personal choices (such as getting tattoos on his torso) but instead follow his own "Advice" regarding his future endeavors. The coloring of the opening scene is very important, as it's SHINee's color: pearl aqua. You will always see representations of this color in each of the SHINee brothers' music whether as a group or in their respective solo music via the lighting, clothing, props, etc. There is a VERY strong bond between them, especially with Taemin. We also see some significant clues like the shredded paper piling up all around the room and falling from a paper-shredder chute, showing Taemin's complete disdain for unsolicited comments and how he treats them. Within the shredded paper we see a sword (Excaliber?) protruding at an angle. This represents SHINee brother Minho who always utilized a sword in any SHINee concert VCR depicting a battle scene. He is very protective of his little bro Taemin in real life. Taemin is sitting at an identical baby grand piano like the one he has at home, so we see a connection between real life and idol life. As he's playing we can see a row of thorns on his collarbone, representing the fact that his faith is still intact despite the temptations of fame. This seems to have been a huge fear of his (losing his faith), and he has finally conquered it and remains true. Even his clothing bears significance. His shirt is representative of a chessboard; the suit down to his shows is half black/half white representing the two sides of the pieces for chess, a game that utilizes strategy to win and represents the strategies Taemin has had to use to conquer the baggage that comes with fame at a young age. A major example was the stigmatism of being considered a "pretty boy", frequently dressed as a girl and made to wear long hair in his early career for comedic effect despite him repeatedly stressing he's a MAN and such things were uncomfortable for him. This fact distressed fellow SHINee brother Jonghyun enough to write a song for Taemin called "Pretty Boy" for which one line states "I am more than the imaginations in your head." Taemin then used that experience as a strategy to turn Kpop and the Korean entertainment industry on it's head by embracing the androgynous look that shocked the industry and shot Taemin to even greater fame. Now he advises junior artists (like Ten) to find something unique about themselves (Taemin used his beauty and honed his unique voice and dancing) to make them standout and exploit that characteristic. This is pure Taemin in a nutshell: a very beautiful man with soft features and kind heart hiding a savagely calculating mind and core of iron. This is why one of his close idol friends describes him as "Tofu with a core of iron." Never underestimate him. Taemin's return from the military in April will begin Act 2 of his career., leaving us with the promise of what's to come for both him as a soloist, a SHINee brother, and center of SuperM. Thanks for reacting to our shining SHINee maknae!

Teeming is an actual legend in the kpop world so loved and respected by everyone and they call him the idol of idols cuz so many artists look up to him and see him as a role model...he deputed when he was 13 years old ...he is known to be one of the best dancers in the industry ...his artistry and vision is so unique ..plz react to more taemin💓

[@saja9796]

For Taemin's I hope you can pay more attention to the lyrics, his work is definitely meaningful and deep you got to dive into to enjoy the art and visuals. ❤️❤️ Taemin talks about a mask, and how no one really knows him. The voice, the gossip, the loser pouring it out is twisted and confused, and if they keep it up, he’s going to go off the rails. This song feels like him saying, I see all of that and I’m finally choosing to just listen to myself and what I think is best for me. I guess there are a lot more symbolism and double-meaning in this track you can check it out.

[@bea_hae_tae9392]

TAEMIN represents what cannot be precisely defined in the approach to gender and role playing in the MV music video, and the choreography is so multidimensional and unpredictable that it is difficult to classify it into a specific genre. I am impressed that it pushes the boundaries once again and does not allow itself to be pigeonholed The piano he identifies with, women's clothing, makeup, and even some choreographies have been mixed to reflect the masculine and feminine aspect, and shows a beautiful tattoo that previously hid and symbolized freedom 14 years of career and you never know what to expect is amazing as a soloist and member of the legendary group SHINee TAEMIN = TPOP 💎💎💎💎💎 NEXT Danger, ACE Concept Video 2KIDS,Criminal ,IDEA ,Drip Drop, MOVE ,WANT more

Actually Taemin looks just like chrollo in his IDEA music video Thanks for the reaction 💎

[@reen212000]

Taemin does that to everyone. He is the idol’s idol and quite talented. People always say that K-pop appeals to only teenagers. Almost all pop is marketed toward teenagers; demographically, they are the biggest financial force. I’ve been to many K-pop concerts, and sometimes the parents are right there with their kids waving light sticks along with everyone else lol. I haven’t been a teenager for many, many years, trust. But if a group comes to (or near) your city, I highly recommend going to one!

[@I_LOVE_NMIXX.ITZY.Red_Velvet_3]

Teenage girl? Tell that to my back 😂 Taemin is famous for having hordes of idol fanboys, so you’re definitely not the only guy who thinks he’s cool. Hoshi wants to BE him
