[@hananhaliru4521]

If you guys could react to A.C.E's Undercover that would be really awesome! They debuted in 2017 but I haven't seen them get much recognition for how good they are.

[@Libraryladyy]

I think the gun in trigger may have colored their interpretation

[@octopus____]

Please react Jonghyun Lonely

[@Maiichu14]

Dang I *need* to see that flame of love video but I'm hella broke 💔

Please react to somi debut song birthday please

SHINee IS ART that's it.

[@AlmightyGui]

I love how Isaac always compliments Onew's vocals whenever he reacts to a SHINee song :')

[@rachelsomething9668]

The discussions on Trigger were pretty disappointing imo. The music went along with the lyrics for me. To me, there’s a feeling of extreme bitterness and sarcasm, but there’s also a lot of anger. It goes through stages of sadness and despair, then bitterness and indifference, and finally that burst of anger and emotion. Following the burst of emotion (that EDM part) it slows back down into sadness, and that goes along so well with an actual circle of grief. The whole idea of “shoot me and go” is pretty understandable. It’s in no way unheard of nor is it normalizing gun violence or anything (that discussion annoyed me the most). It can be easily just symbolic to how someone feels during a break up and not literal shooting, but it could also be an example of what someone who is really hurting might say in the moment. It’s a mixture of those two things (I believe). The song is dark because the lyrics and music are pretty emotional, but I feel such a connection to it (both of these songs) as well as many of their other songs. It feels like it completely describes what I’m going through whenever I listen to it which makes it so enjoyable (as well as the fact that they’re all so talented 💕). Anyway, that’s all. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

[@val875]

I also thought that the discussion for trigger was very lacking.

[@ReacttotheK]

Agreed. It was surprising when so many of the reactors heard Trigger as “a banger” and “happy.” I hear it as ominous when the chorus hits, and angry when the edm hits. There’s a lot that I feel they missed, but it’s understandable if they were distracted by the lyrics or overwhelmed by something else for their first listen. I think it took me around 10 listens before I was able to not be overwhelmed by everything happening. It’s one of my fav SHINee songs, so I may make an analysis video in the future to make up for the lack of in-depth commentary here.

[@woebegone6733]

@@ReacttotheK Yes. But it's their opinions :)

[@MirraVerse]

I agree, well described!

[@redrooster3420]

Thank you for this comment! Totally agree, and tbh it was actually a bit stressful imagining the song as "happy" by any means for me when I've always felt it invokes such a clear sense of pain, desperation, and bitterness... I agree that they may have been overwhelmed because the song is pretty strange and complex, but relieved to see here that I'm not alone in feeling these things.

[@dannyalc4556]

Trigger is not supposed to be taken so literally, its obviously a metaphorical take on the english saying (used more in older generations) "would you just pull the trigger already." I cut this off a Google search: pull the trigger (on something) To make a final decision or commit to a certain course of action (about something). The song is more on being in a miserable and cornered situation where one has no other choice then to make a decision. I interpreted it as finally coming to the choice of cutting off or putting an end to a relationship. No interpretation is wrong, im just disappointed that the reactors chose to ignore the musical cues and focus on the literal aspect of a gun and going off. I hate gun violence too, i get it, but Trigger is not a song advocating to go shoot up a place.

[@giuliaestrela8162]

ikr?? i always so it as a metaphor of ending a relationship never as literal gun violence i was shocked that they interpreted this way lol

[@val875]

@@giuliaestrela8162 gun violence isn't an issue in South Korea like it is here in the gun nation (United States). So we might see it as something negative but it was never intended that way not to mention trigger is an old song. It wasn't ever about gun violence and it's sad that it's such a regular occurrence now in the USA that it's all everyone jumps to first.

[@maylinerosario3885]

@@val875 true, but that was their mistake. Becuase at first with just the title they said "ah we listen to this all the time in R&B" to then take it as "of course it was banned!" When I listen to kpop and jrock I HAVE to be open minded the fact of how society is out there. They don't have the level of gun violence that we have in the US so obviously Americans with no open minds will think of mass shootings with the song, and that is wrong. The lacked of being open minded like a musician should

[@andyruiz2558]

Orgel is one of my favorites it’s just so nice to listen to when it’s raining and the mood is dark, gives me the creeps

[@alesanchez4235]

Orgel is one of my favorite songs of all time ♥️ it's just SO SO GOOD!!! Thanks for reacting 😊

[@wiiboiwill]

I have no idea how anyone could hear trigger as a happy song??? The whole thing is just a burst of emotions, anger, sadness, and the only "happy" parts are still bittersweet. There's nothing full sweet. It's like falling apart but desperately trying to grasp on the last positivity you have in a way. The end of a relationship and the way this toxic relationship is going they just can't see an end without it being the final end.

[@redrooster3420]

Exactly this!!

[@mimifocker9404]

SHINee always make such interesting music. It was always exciting back when they and f(x) were more active. Being pretty much the male and female equivalent of each other almost at times. I just loved the risks SM let them take

[@jil229]

same,,, they are so experimental and always have creative music & consepts it's kinda nostalgic remembering times when shinee's misconception and odd were released, also f(x)'s pink tape i just--

[@MikeOfMichigan]

A loop of the intro of orgel has been my ringtone for like 5 years now lmao. Every now and again I like to use a loop of the intro for f(x)’s shadow too. I’ve always felt like they had a similar vibe.

[@devakibhagwat6146]

YES I always say that Orgel and Shadow is literally perfectly related, just like f(SHINee) are sibling groups that are meant to be counterparts of each other

[@misstokwa19]

What I like about SHINee songs r that they r complex but in a good way. Their music evolve and don't stick on just "simple" beat. They might sound off at first but as u listen to it over and over again u find urself hooked into their songs. Not being bias but even if u're not into kpop u would enjoy their music and not to mention that their harmony r ALWAYS on point. ❤💎

[@niabailey362]

Saw SHINee in the title and clicked without reading the rest 🤩😍💙

[@Ureshiixii]

SHINee always makes Great high quality musics, they create their own musics and they dont follow what is trend... i really love them so much

[@Lexusirizarry]

For the first time I disagree with the opinions...and it's not because I'm a shawol. It's because in my opinion the music wasn't happy it was emotional and full of hurt. It's like being betrayed. You say someone stabbed you in the back..or they might as well stab you in the back....you don't mean It. I think it was taken more literally then intended.

[@MickeyzDanceCovers]

This! I agree with you so much!

[@maska5159]

when you take the metaphor seriously.. I'd like to see a Woof Woof reaction though lmaooooo

[@sulcheri]

I loooove trigger so much, and I just can't explain the feeling I get when I listen to it lol it's so stimulating? and i love onew's voice in it

[@anushka-cy1wi]

so happy to see some shinee content : ) great video as always!

[@devakibhagwat6146]

The "trigger" was supposed to end their relationship, I think. And wasn't actually referring to guns at all

[@sadafpopal3155]

i feel like they really missed the point with Trigger, it was clearly metaphorical and not as actual 'shooting' but ending of a relationship

[@cremebules]

when I first heard Orgel I was so spooked I barely sat through half the song before deleting it off my playlist; fast forward few years later when I re-listened again I was totally blown by how effective the song was evoking creepy vibes. only shinee :')

[@CrankDatJonasBoi]

Waiting for the day you throw the ultimate curveball that is Woof Woof 😂

[@Maiichu14]

Considering how they've made a cover of it, at least some of the reactors may have already seen it but I agree in that it would be amazing

[@dennisgissellaromansw3084]

SHINee is so perfect

[@MissConfusion123]

Okay maybe this is looking at it too much but I love when they laughed at "hey little shawty" because that was my reaction but also that it was big in 2008. The whole Odd album was just making nods at their early stuff and where they came from and they started in 2008. Also the part where Onew sings "lucifer." anyway I love shinee and they are the most adventurous people musically.

[@jin-zz1bj]

I'm gonna say I'm really disappointed in them with the Trigger breakdown. They obviously weren't being literal? Idk. That kinda upset me. Trigger is one of my favorite songs.

[@MerelMystery]

Exactly!

[@tiff2813]

SAME THO. that whole gun violence convo upset me more tbh.

[@jin-zz1bj]

[@mulynndee3297]

Ive always interpreted pull the trigger as shinee telling their SO to go ahead and break up the relationship since its both already painful and destructive.

[@angellee9008]

Finally reacted to SHINee in a long time. Thank you. 😍😍😍

[@MindBlinged]

trigger and orgel are my all time favorite jams, simply because the music is so beautiful. I think most of them missed the point with Trigger, probably cuz they mostly tend to give comments during the song and maybe miss parts of the song. One of the main things being that when they say pull the trigger, they are talking about their relationship rather than a real gun. It's like a situation where you are in a relationship you are pretty much still committed to and in love, but you know your partner has 'moved on' and is 'over it'. The only reason you are together is that they are too guilty to really take that step. And you just want them to end it as you come to terms that it is over.

[@arte_mis12]

Thank you for another SHINee reaction!

[@millystratford1103]

I immediately recognized Key in the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂 I didn't even look at the title just the picture yeet

[@JessiEche]

I was looking forward to another SHINee reaction and I'm so glad you did these songs! Though I'm a little disappointed that everyone took the lyrics so literally. Do they not understand metaphors? Anyways, thank you for reacting to SHINee.

[@forgetfulstranger]

Orgel is one of the best songs, a masterpiece.

[@adrianam.1502]

Orgel is a freaking MASTERPIECE.

[@lizethhh]

SHINee reactions are everything thank you! Love orgel and trigger! Hope to see an undercover and tonight reaction!

[@MirraVerse]

What does she mean by "middle schoolers jamming to this at a school dance"?? Lol this is not a clubby song, nor is there a "negative message" behind it. They're obviously using those terms metaphorically which is what art is all about.. I've never seen musicians/artists not pick up such obvious metaphors and take everything literal?! disappointed. But your channel is still one of the best reaction channels!

[@mekenziepritchard3205]

Orgel has always been one of my favorite Shinee songs. I'm so glad you featured this ^~^ This has been the first time I listened to it since...

[@user-uu5dc6wr6h]

I'm so happy you chose those two songs (and put them together in one vid!). I LOVE how this channel looks at b-sides too and does really interesting analyses. Trigger and Orgel really are two v interesting songs for me as a non-musician and I've loved them since they were released.

[@15lenalee]

Pull the trigger is like "make a decision" not kill me, guys lol

[@yabalabahiyayabalabahiya8008]

I love the fact that THE ONE WHO LOVES SHINee's SONGS IS THE ONE WHO LOVES HIGHCLASS ART Means, *Shawols are genius.*

[@sehnissmile]

Ya'll are reading into the lyrics too much. They are saying to pull the trigger on the relationship. To end the relationship. Not for her to shoot them literally.

[@esmeg8689]

Henry is clearly a Shawol. I love how everytime you put a shinee song, they always love it, and even if they dont they appreciate their voices/music in general. Thats SHINee for you. Always amazing. DO EVIL AND NIGHTMARE PLEASE
