[@dominicsimonacfan541]

Thank god. Because Want got me like

[@asyashawol921]

I thought it might have been his idea but didn't know that, but it's so much better with fixed camera and witg no overlaid music

[@koppio]

He knows the pain of trying to see all the moves when its not a fixed cam.

[@Unknown-qe9bf]

it is so much better. I think dance practice should be in fixed camera while the camera can be moved in performance video but i don't understand why so many dance practice become performance video recently

[@sevencrimers]

True. For me, the meaning of a dance practice video should be letting ppl see the whole choreography with every member at any second, and ppl can learn the choreography from it. The "moving camera and having solo camera time" thing needs to stay in performance video 😤

[@shush9687]

ever since Move, he aimed to break gender stereotypes. hence, the mix of masculine and feminine movements in the choreo of Move. "I wanted to break the idea of what male performers are supposed to show, what performances girl groups are supposed to show. I really wanted to break those labels, showing that dance is a form of art.” and it has become his signature style, androgynous and sensual.

[@celinahatton2653]

Yes, we know

[@miriam7872]

I actually love that the whole song and performance is kinda.. gender-neutral? Like, it's depicting a toxic relationship of some sort but, to me at least, there is nothing to tell us what role is supposed to have which gender. I love how he does that and I think it makes the song much more powerful. I don't know if there is any other idol who could've pulled that off

[@hessaa1712]

Tbh he only one can do it... He dance but never feel like he is a girl not even a second..he always manly and cool on stage

[@someonenothere8818]

Well rather than saying it's his aim to break gender stereotypes, I think it's kind of an acceptance of how he's perceived by his looks. I've been a fan of Shinee for a long time, and taemin, from his debut was someone who was promoted as the "cute" and "pretty" member of the group because of his looks. He didn't actually enjoy as much to be honest, I think for a while and still today, he didn't want to actually want to be seen as feminine, and wanted to be more masculine. But in truth his face is quite pretty and boyish, and he is naturally thinner body wise, someone like him would still have a thin structure even if he tried to gain muscle. So I think he kind of struggled to accept that, and eventually he actually accepted a part of who he is, and decided to portray himself in a more sensual manner with graceful sensual, but also powerful dance moves. I think it's great actually, because some idols or people in kpop groups, especially men seem to struggle secretly when they're marketed as attractive for their feminine or cute features. A good example is luhan, who after leaving exo released some songs which were more mature that i think he did in attempt to escape from the image he had before, which was more mellow and cutesy. But when taemin came out with danger, I was really impressed, since he didn't try to appear too overly masculine or sexy. Of course compared to his newer songs danger appears more powerful, but stylistically it's not overtly so.

[@shush9687]

@@someonenothere8818 it's not even my opinion, that's how he says it in interviews, i'm just quoting him. but yeah i also think it's his way of accepting himself. like in danger album, his song pretty boy is saying that he's more than his pretty looks. i can see how he used to hate being called pretty but now he's using it to his advantage.

[@onewdubu8080]

Best thing about being Taemin's back-up is you don't have to hold back in fear of overpowering the idol.

[@butterbeerlove]

I agree! I thought he definitely outdanced the backup dancers here

[@amagudgurl1000]

They need to catch up to him haha

[@charlenelv1391]

trueeeee. normally backup dancers are better than the majority of idols technically, but taemin is a real dancer. good to see simeez and rian, these two excellent choreographers perform this kind of style. p.s. no offense but averagely speaking, I think his Japanese support dancers' skills are better than these korean guys.

[@V4l3g0]

One of Taemin’s dancers said recently that normally and idol will tell them “I will give my 70%, so you give the rest so the picture is complete” but with Taemin is “ I will give 100%, so please do so too”. If you think about it a Taemin dancers has to be very good to be there, because they don’t need to hold back and at the same time they have to match their movements to make him stand out, that’s freaking hard

[@twidlings327]

Yes! His back-up dancers are also comprised of the best dancers & choreographers. Taemin also mentioned before that his choreographers sometimes forget that he is a singer and gives him the hardest choreos for dancers! He truly is The Best dancer in all of kpop!😍

The most amazing thing is the way he dance like there's no choreo when there is a choreo. The body control, the movement, the expression. So smoothh yet hard at the same time!! I dont even make sense, but thats what i feel >~

[@dominicsimonacfan541]

"That can't be the same person" Everytime we say when we see him in stage and off stage. Jeff, you will know what thing Taemin is, slowly but surely. And "T" move is his signature move. Ypu can see it in other songs as well. He dance moves has androgynous feels. Thanks for checking out our Taemin.

[@triacorpuz]

The probable reason for the masculine and feminine feel that you were talking about for the choreo was because of the choreographers themselves haha! I don't know if you know him but one of the choreographers was Kasper. He's well-known for his choreographies for EXO and he's also a backup dancer for Taemin sometimes. The other choreographer is Koharu Sugawara. She also choreographed Taemin's Goodbye and Move as well as SHINee's Good Evening.

[@triacorpuz]

@sun child Yes! It makes it more TAEMIN

[@stephaniehu8489]

Honestly, it throws me off when I see Taemin act cute now because he spent like 2014-2018 like it was gonna ruin his career to puff out his cheeks and pitch his voice for 5 seconds lol. Another thing is that Taemin didn't always embrace his androgynous features, but now he's capitalized on this element and it's helped him expand his artistry in ways that I wouldn't have expected prior to 2016.

[@caitlinbaker5200]

[@OokamiTsu]

Imagine if SM supported him and promoted his solo... Taemin said he wishes to reach 1M on 24H for his dance practice, please stream ♥️ Thanks Jeff for reacting! Edit: Ok, for the new ones who doesn't know about Taemin being mistreated... Comment by Shineeing Stars: Taemin's last korean album/comeback was in February last year titled WANT and who knew that that would be his last comeback as a solo in awhile because after he dropped his Japanese MV FAMOUS in July last year, we never got any solo's from him again because he would join Super M and go on tour with them and release music so chances of him releasing his own music was zero. We need to take note that while he was preparing for Super M's debut, he had just came back from his own solo concert tour in Japan (June-August) And then from Oct 2019 - Jan 2020 he was on and off on Super M's tour. After that SM announced in Jan 2020 that he would make his comeback in March but it never happened and they didn't even bother to say anything at all. And then SM announced he was going to have a korean concert based on his album NGDA in March but it was cancelled because of Covid-19. In Feb he was spotted filming a MV in Paris (Now we know it was 2 KIDS) but it was not until April there were rumors he was going going to have a CB but it never happened and Taemin went on several IG lives to express his dissatisfaction as well. SM then FINALLY announced in June that he will have his COMEBACK (2 KIDS) in July but that was officially postponed because Taemin suffered a wrist fracture. Taemin was also disappointed and apologized a lot for it. On July 26th, SM announced AGAIN that his single 2 KIDS will be released and in August they announced that his album NGDA will be released in September. But the problem was that Super M would also be releasing 100 and Tiger inside in August and Sept and their full album will drop on September 25th. This is a problem because this gives Taemin less time to focus and promote his own solo and he would need to jump around from one CB to another. Now that CRIMINAL has already been released, SM has done NOTHING to promote him at all and Taemin has to be the one to beg people to listen to song on his IG LIVES and he even opened a TIK TOK account to promote CRIMINAL but his choreo is too complex for people to do. Let's not forget how upset Taemin was at SM for leaking CRIMINAL on his variety show without his consent too. Right now we are not sure how many weeks Taemin will promote CRIMINAL on Music Bank considering how Super M's album will be dropping very soon.

[@OokamiTsu]

@yummiwatch You talk like the bare minimun is good enough... And this isn't the first time, he gets neglected when releasing dates and even hyping up comebacks. Now, you can just compare SuperM's promotions and his. If they use him as the face of the group at least they should promote him the same way, he souldn't thank them for "allowing him" to be on SuperM. And it goes for every member, they all deserve to be promoted the same. (Also promotions aren't just posting some photos and videos, it's a whole marketing process before and when released and it's not about leaving everything to the fans either. They don't even bother about adds which help a lot) Edit: They skipped his showcase, first week of promo, no hashflag, no adds and no promotions on variety shows.

[@Celebrenedhel40]

@yummiwatch I agree. I think the idea he's not being supported or promoted is exaggerated. The thing is Taemin really doesn't need a lot of hype because the minute there's an inkling of him releasing a song or a video teaser comes out, his fan-base is all over it and the fastest way to spread anything is word of mouth. His popularity is his best form of promotion. Whether with SHINee, solo, or with SuperM, the amount of fans who will spread the word the minute Taemin even winks at his Instagram screen is enormous. People are still the best advertisement and promotion there is. SM Entertainment knows that with Taemin, they don't have to do a lot, he promotes himself with how much his fans adore him. Taemin also knows how that part of the business works, too. He knows the things he can do to help get the word to his fans about new projects (sometimes, he leaks things he shouldn't and he's still an evil maknae, so he does it anyway ;-) ) He isn't SM's only idol. He's one of their Icons. He knows what he's doing.

[@OokamiTsu]

@@Celebrenedhel40 Yeah, everything's ok, that's why he's sad about his song not getting enough promotions. I understand if you're new tho, but this isn't the first time.

[@easystradlin]

@@OokamiTsu I also don't understand why people don't understant that he is not being promoted . I mean, just the thinking of skiping an entire week of possible promotion after the release when is the release it self that hype the people and create the momentum is insane.This is why there are tempos that must be followed in every comeback (not in this, because Taemin is doing it all by himself with the help of Jinki, Kibum and Minho, which is the ultimate irony because how is it possible that Minho from one of the most reserved units in the Korean army is promoting Taemin better than SM?). Please anyone show me one single ad. Just one. He recorded the dance practice in a feffing rush. I don't even know what is doing SM now rather than promote SuperM seriously... It's like them saying: well this is Taemin, this is how good he is, now if you want him watch our SuperM content. And don't even tell me about his reality ( that I'm enjoying because is him and that's enough for me) but as soon as Taemin said in one of his lives that he wanted to record one TaemLog with Jinki and his members and friends, they shout it down and send him alone in the woods ( I really think that they use his injury as an excuse... sorry.... to many years in SM Town is what makes you like me, suspicious at last. ) I can recall that the most used sentences in InstaLive this year is "Don't leave me", "Something is comming please wait a little bit longer", "I really wanted to do it but...". Don't make me start about how SM celebrate SHINee's aniversary this year because I'm fumming. .(Only if I knew it I could sent to SM pearlaqua ballons, and a white Saeng -il-chuk-ha-hap-ni-da banner with diamonds and stars and the moon, and some of the most amazing SHINee pictures exquisitly framed to put on the wall during the Vlive, and would buy an amazing cake, and I would sent some questions about the most amazing moments in SHINee's history etc...) I mean it was sad for me to watch him asking to the people outside SM the day of SHINee's Aniversary if they are Shawols or not. I mean, I have the feeling that this year he is being left alone but not when SM needs to promote SuperM. This is my opinion, this is not the Bible or some sacred words on a stone. (Oh shit! All this verbatim just to say that I'm agree with you, mihane!)

[@easystradlin]

@@Celebrenedhel40 So are you telling me that SM don't need to promote Taemin because is the great Taemin and this is enough but as soon as Tiger Inside was released they send SuperM, wich is basically what they call the best of SM , to Sketchbook as fast as the wind? Can you tell me what's behind this logic?

"that can't be the same person" !!! CANT AGREE WITH YOU MORE ~

[@Justme94]

Taemin is so artistic and involved in what he creates. It's something I miss in a lot of artists and isn't appreciated enough. People go with the masses and what's commercial (BTS, Blackpink) while they miss out on talent like Taemin.

[@jebalifyouplz]

Dont understand why you need to down other groups to talk up Taemin. I agree with everything you said I just think we could have gotten the point across with out acting like BTS is for people who can't appreciate artistry or that there isn't any there when they're one of the groups who have been heavily involved in their own artistry and taking agency over their concepts. Taemin himself would be offended at the suggestion they aren't lol. There has been a shift recently for companies to at least appear to allow their idols to have a hand in their own concepts and skills, but I tend to think it's for appearances sake because they know people want it. I don't think anyone will ever properly come close to Taemin though. And not enough people want to acknowledge this.

You wondered how Taemin was able to get his hands free without breaking the rope. Actually, starting around 2:54 you actually can see he's getting ready for that part, so he twists his hands in some way to unravel the rope so that he's able to pull it off with his teeth.

To answer your question about the tied hands. The fabric is actually loosely tied around the wrists which makes it easy for them to remove. They are wrapped one time like a figure 8 with one wrist in each loop. If you go to the behind the scenes making of the video, you can see how loose the fabric is. The dancers then simulate the restraint, but it is actually a loose prop.

one of taemin's signature moves is his spinning and i am amazed every time he does them with precision and how quick he goes. i loved that he made his spinning moves in three different spots in this choreo towards the end. he did one in the middle then the right then the left. it's like he's saying i'm here, them i'm here, now i am here. i am EVERY WHERE on the dance floor. he is dominating the stage with his performance. that's why he is the performance king.

The ties on their hands are actually tied in like a ring that is twisted to like an 8 shape and when they're taking it off in the choreo, their twisting their right hand inside to undo the 8 and it makes it a 0. That's why it lookes like they undid the tie so smoothly (i hope that makes sense 😅). It's a very smart and cool move/illusion. It's not the first time I saw Taemin do that sort of thing, make illusions with tieing. In SHINee's Tell Me What To Do, he did this thing where he's like tieing his neck with a scarf then it just comes of like magic but it's really just very smart hand movements that creates an illusion. Props to their choreographers, they have big brains! 🤯

Omggggggggg this is my favorite reaction to Taemin from you I’m so happy thank you 🙏

[@sunshinesparklesx]

Thank you for reacting to this, I'm a huge fan of Criminal and your insight about the dance is so interesting!

[@clara7904]

Taemin just projects beauty.

[@uyenpham8180]

Thank you Jeff for reacting to this dance practice. I always love watching your reaction videos.

[@Iceydovefrost]

Was WAITING for this!!

[@Keke88]

You are a delight to watch -- I love your detailed reactions, hope you are feeling better. Love Taemin always.

[@chiarapolese1888]

In this dance practice I really appreciated his backup dancers as well, they were incredible and that makes him shine even more... he could looked less refined if the dancers were not as good as him but they were able to make his performance the spectacle that it is. I’m so glad that he can work with people that are able to follow the image he has in his head and his style of dance which as you said is very unique and androgynous.

[@babycheese]

This dance practice is already epic and Taemin is out there for a vigillion time showing everyone how art should be done and why he is the best performer out there. There is simply no comparison between his artistry and his grand scale spectacle vision and what I usually see nowadays in Kpop.

[@moonamigi]

there are so many replayable moments in the choreo! Also, the blonde girl really caught my eye!

[@TheHekateris]

I so appreciate the background dancers too, especially the women? i love how in so much of Taemin's choreo the female dancers are rarely treated as pretty objects - they're dancers, dammit, with skill!!

[@MsKwonChoi]

Taemin is a king!!! Best maknae ever!!!!!

[@DulcisAbsentia]

Taemin is a dance king.

[@Lola-ui2zf]

Here u have d kpop dance GOAT.

[@miks4332]

Taemin is an art!!

[@joekolateb9774]

Thank you for reacting. You are one of my favorites. His cute heart move at the end. His duality.

[@kiwi_mandarin_6896]

Do you remember how Jeff said that TAEMIN isn’t his style when he saw his video for the first time😂😂😂 And now we’re here 😂😂😂 admiring TAEMIN’s dance And also those poor dancers 🥺🥺🥺 they look so exhausted

[@Saddlemomma]

Taemin just dropped his "Black Rose" performance on "The Stage" and it's even better than " Criminal"!

[@andreyabella1920]

You see now why Taemin is Kpop best dancer, l see you changed your mind from your reaction on Move mv.

[@meitamalini6671]

The choreographer is Kasper who choreograph for Baekhyun Candy and UN Village, Kasper before is Taemin Dancer for Danger, and now for Taemin dancer are Rian and Simez who's choreograph for Chungha - Play and Hyoyeon - Dessert, i'm satisfied with Taemin dancers because they can sinergy with Taemin making beautiful dance

[@mutiaraemillia5758]

i love the way u describe your thoughts! you pointed a lot of things that i've missed😂 and thanks for that, taemin king

[@nctzenwayzenni177]

Yay I was waiting for this!

[@joaniemaloney]

As much as I love ALL the choreo, the most special part for me was the ending bc it was so great to see him switch over and show us how much his stage presence changes him so completely. The heart's so cute too. :) Great video as always, glad you got to see this one so quick!

[@dorsazabihi8481]

Im in love with the may that he said ' that can't be the same person' after he saw the cute teamin😁😆💛

[@caribunny1047]

I am dying here. He's on another level.

[@forspa8272]

im totally amazed

[@ericacella1180]

This man is insane. Really insane. His dabcing is at the same way so elegant and powerful. The coreo is amazing and fit very well with music video, song and concept
