REACTION to SHINEE - A VERY SHINEE GUIDE! (by Very Swank)

[@BirbReacts]

Basically, it doesn't matter who your bias is- you're still a Key bias ;)

[@Hana-zd1ek]

HAHAHA YESSS

[@naps9754]

Facts.😌 yeokshi king Kibum💖

[@KassWinnie]

very much so, yes hauahhaha

[@toodleloos]

can't believe how true this is 😂😂

[@JBhpTwilighterSasuke]

this is the truest thing ever said

[@milindawilson9175]

The reason why the audience screams so loud and Onew cries during this performance of "Rainy Blue" is because this was Onew's first solo performance since having vocal surgery. It was a really scary surgery because there was no guarantee that he would ever be able to sing again, let along at the same quality as he did before the surgery. Onew spent about 3 months after his surgery not being able to speak at all in order to give his vocal cords time to heal and then he had to learn to sing all over again. This performance was proof to himself and the fans that he could still do it and that nothing had changed. ("Rainy Blue" is a cover of a Japanese song, which Onew has kind of made famous internationally. Onew is singing in Japanese. It was wrote by a Japanese singer/songwriter who also had the same surgery as Onew, but unfortunately, the songwriter's surgery didn't go as well as Onew's and the songwriter was never able to sing as well again. ) Onew's performance of "Nessun Dorma" was performed in 2016 as a solo stage during one of SHINee's Japanese concerts, but it is not the first time Onew has performed this song, he has been performing it since SHINee's early days. Whether it's a performance from 2011 or this one from 2016, there isn't much difference -- his voice is a little more mature in 2016, but it was still impressive from the beginning. Onew is not trained in opera, but he had been training as a singer for more than 10 years when this performance took place, and he has an amazing range and understanding of his voice. He is also a musical stage actor, so he understands how to project his voice to the back of the theater and he knows how to tell a story through the performance of the song. One of the reasons why Key chose to come up with funny answers for that questionnaire is the fact that this Weekly Idol episode was part of their 10th anniversary promotions and so they have been on the show many times and had to fill out that same questionnaire almost every time, and they have answered those same questions dozens of more times for other variety shows. So, after that many years, it has become boring just to give a straight answer. What's particularity notable about the fact that Key said he is from New York, is the fact that he is fluent in English -- almost to the point you would think he is a native speaker. So, if you didn't know him, you might think he really was from New York. The amazing thing about Key's high note in "Like a Fire" is that if you listen to the original version on their album, he doesn't have a high note in that song. But during that performance, which is from their SHINee World Concert III (SWC3) in Seoul, he, out of nowhere, decided he wanted to add a high note. It's almost as if he decided he wanted to try and outdo Jonghyun who is the group's high note master and the one who has the high note right before Key in the song. :D That's Key's classic diva attitude. One slight error in this guide: Minho is actually the MAIN rapper of the group and Key is a sub-rapper. (To say Minho is the second rapper makes it sound like he isn't the one that raps the majority of the time in SHINee's songs.) Minho is credited with writing almost all of his rap sections in SHINee songs, which is proof that he is the main rapper. Minho will have songwriting credits on almost every one of SHINee's songs because he wrote the rap section. Also, Minho more than sings SOMEtimes, he sings just about as much as he raps in SHINee songs. He has the deepest voice out of all the members -- which is why he was made the main rapper -- so SHINee's songs don't often highlight his singing in the same way as the other members, but he is part of all of SHINee's harmonies. Also, by virtue of the fact that he is part of SM, means he also has an amazing voice. When you really get to know SHINee, you will see Minho has just as much vocal range as the rest of the members, and that is why SHINee's five-part harmonies are so outstanding. Minho is also known as a top athlete. He says these days he goes to the gym a couple of times a day to work out just because he likes to work out, but he is also crazy about soccer, and he plays basketball, baseball and golf, and he is good at track and field events, swimming and diving, etc., as well. And not only does he enjoy playing all those sports, but he is usually the best athlete on the field and he pretty much wins every time. There is a reason why Minho's nickname is "Flaming Charisma," and one reason is for his intense passion for sports and his need to always win. His dad is a minor league soccer player, coach and manager for a living. That is also Minho's classic iconic laugh. He laughs with his whole being and he lights up the room while doing it. In that same clip, Jonghyun fell down because, if you see that full clip, you will see that Minho was spraying water with a spray bottle and the floor was all wet. Before Jonghyun walked in the room the other members were playing around sort of making fun of a commercial they did for a Japanese ramen noodle company where they were each given a different dance move that they used to crush the noodles. Jonghyun's dance style was Krump, so he was over exaggerating his movements poking fun of that commercial and because the floor was slippery he fell down, which made Minho laugh even harder. :D Here is that full clip of Minho laughing kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZSVpYNnjq6JisU and here is a clip of the original Ramen commercial that SHINee is in kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpKrg4huq5xraJY Jonghyun was the main vocalist of SHINee, but one thing people need to understand about SHINee, is that they are all really main vocalists, so they can all fill in for each other, and they have. However, Taemin and Onew are the ones that have most often been tapped to fill Jonghyun's parts in most of their old songs, and even the parts that I think would have been his parts in their new songs. Taemin learned how to be a singer from Jonghyun, so his voice and vocal range is most like Jonghyun's, that is why he is the one to fill in for him most often. Jonghyun wrote IU's "Gloomy Clock." He also wrote EXO's "Playboy" and Taemin's "Pretty Boy" and "Already." Jonghyun wrote "Pretty Boy" specifically for Taemin and it ft. Kai from EXO as the rapper. Plus, as you know, he wrote dozens of songs that became SHINee's songs, as well as all of his own solo songs. SHINee's cover of Lady Gaga's "Just dance" was a special stage at a KBS award show in 2010. Here is the clip of that performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSpfoike9acgZY They were dressed like that because they were supposed to be dressed like Lady Gaga's over the top crazy style. If you notice, that last clip of SHINee playing charades, and Taemin trying to guess "suitcase," was at a fan meeting in Japan. So, they were all speaking Japanese. As you can see, SHINee are all fluent in Japanese. They are just as popular as Japanese artists as they are Kpop artists. Most Japanese people don't even consider them foreign artists. SHINee debuted as Japanese artists in 2011 and they spend about 50% of their career in Japan doing events and concerts, etc. For every Korean album SHINee also has a Japanese album, but their songs aren't just remakes of their Korean songs, the majority of their Japanese songs are exclusively in Japanese. And that also includes Taemin's solo career -- for every Korean solo album, he usually follows it up with a Japanese album, as well. And yes, Obama actually talked about following SHINee at a press conference while he was president of the United States. That clip is 100% real. This Guide video was made in 2018, so to update the information, yes, as you know, the other members of SHINee -- Onew, Key and Minho -- now also have solo careers. Onew and Key had their solo debut right before they went off to the military in 2018 and they both have solo albums. Minho also released his first solo single "I'm Home" that same year, right before he enlisted in the military as well. For an updated guide to SHINee you should check out their individuale guide videos next. The person who created the group guide has also recently released (released in the last few months) individual member guides Taemin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnmYo2tupct7b7c, Key: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3W4o6pveMqce80 Onew: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXybo3-hi5qVoZo, Minho: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaCcpml_n6uteZI, and Jonghyun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXbUqKiNqr-Lmas. As you discovered, SHINee are known for their live vocals and amazing dancing. They are known as CD-quality singers because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. SHINee always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing so they avoid it at all costs, so when you hear SHINee singing 95% of the time it will be live. It's a running joke between the fans and the members that when SHINee lip syncs you can tell because it's very obvious. Yes, over the years they have become better at lip syncing then they used to be, but now they have gained the reputation as the group that always sings live, so unless they are required to lip sync for a specific reason, SHINee will always sing live. They have trained their entire career to be able to sing live and always sound flawless while performing extremely complex choreography. SHINee set the standard. That is why they are so highly respected among their peers. It is literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard all other groups strive to reach. You really should check out some of their live concert performances because their stages are like none other. Their concerts last 3 to 4 hours straight and they perform nonstop and never sound out of tune or out of breath. They are also one of the best dancers in Kpop and they have some of the best harmonies you will ever hear.

[@sunrise420]

Thanks for adding so much additional info about the clips

[@onewgiri]

as a fellow shawol this is a really really great comment that explains a lot of the smaller details and highlights Minho's contributions for new fans - thanks for this!!

[@KSS352]

MELINDA DOING SHAWOL'S LIFE WORK! Thank you for all of your work always!

[@iuliad.6945]

Thank you so much for adding this info! It was really useful and insightful

[@toodleloos]

thanks for the edition. there's really a LOT of shinee to condense down into a guide so the video maker did fantastic but it's good with more context an aside tho* minho used to be known as main rapper but they have indeed started crediting key with main rapper. i saw it said on another variety show and was like "huh??" but they're doing that now apparently.

[@megan1362]

Sometimes I forget just how long shinee have been around until I see some of the outfits and I am very quickly reminded

[@yeosangi]

me too hahaha

[@anndreim.379]

The fact that they are a 13 year old group and still manages to be in the spotlight even after a 3 year hiatus. THE POWER OF SHINee!!!!!!

[@glen_teehee]

Watching them still thrills me 🥺💕

[@joaniemaloney]

this guide is so popular but really doesn't highlight Minho well at all (a bit of rapping, he sings 'sometimes,' that random Melania moment, and his laugh?) and doesn't look like he's really contributing to the group. I'm hoping that everybody knew to SHINee will get to appreciate him more. & isn't he the main rapper? that said, I do really like the music selection to showcase the wide range of their discography and the editing style. it'd just be a shame if this was all people bothered to check out and they wouldn't understand why Minho's a part of the group. hopefully you'll get to listen/watch more of SHINee in the future soon~

[@LoveNatalieLove]

Ahhhh I agree, it's really the only downside to this guide :/ Hopefully someone will make an updated one that will get popular for reactors/babywols soon!

[@onewgiri]

yeah it definitely sells him short because he has a lot to offer as a vocalist and as a rapper but hopefully someone will make a new one after all the promotions we've had this year

[@isalvim]

their Minho guide is amazing tho! it really shows his full talent..

[@TaeminnieLee]

I agree... also no mention of Minho writing a bunch of his raps... and no mention of his endless love & support for SHINee 😭 he sings well and is the main rapper... not the second one. I do think this guide is made well overall, but needs more Minho love

[@Lena-zn4re]

True and the fact that Minho has improved so much as a vocalist since the time of this guide. Obviously because it’s from 2018, the guide didn’t include many of the members’ solo stuff apart from Jonghyun and Taemin. However, as this guide is such a great start to Shinee as a group, highlighting the special and key moments without including too many “inside jokes/moments”, I wish the creator would make an updated version of this guide. Then again, I think it’s better to watch the members’ individual guides since they’re focused on each member both inside and outside of Shinee.

[@eggything]

oh sick can’t wait for you to check out jonghyun’s solo stuff! he has the most of shinee after taemin (whose solo output is insane tbh, man is constantly hard at work) and it’s all So Very Good. i might be biased but whatever, you know how shinee is, they’re incredible.

[@4Peace.]

Yes, apparently Jonghyun is responsible for between 75-90 songs!

[@BlackStarSymphony]

I think we're all biased because we all miss him. Regardless of who our bias is.

[@ashley-or7zp]

the sigh and “oh my” during the gaga video 😭

[@taengooly]

Taemin’s clothes in Gaga video.... I can accept everything but definitely not that thing. Also thank you so much reacting a SHINee guide. Can’t wait for individual SHINee guide reactions 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@4Peace.]

Maybe Key was pranking him as usual. But our favorite maknae worked it nonetheless.

[@ori-arts]

I... I feel like as SHAWOLs we've seen worse instances of strange fashion but I really can't remember xD

[@sashi-mi]

Yesss, thank you! Hahaha. All of the others look cool and then there's Taemin looking like his real stage outfit got wrecked and someone pulled out an old Halloween costume as a substitute. It's a truly adorable tragedy.

[@mimikk1713]

If I need an instant pick me up, that iconic SHINee busyeo busyeo clip and Minho's dibidibidis rap never fail me haha Excited for the rest of the member guides : D

[@lucyithink]

quick list of jonghyun's solo mvs in order of release: Crazy Deja-Boo End of a Day (watch with captions or read translation after) She Is Lonely (feat. Taeyeon) Shinin' Before Our Spring (watch with captions or read translation after)

[@lei6v636]

Im a Taemin bias but I love all the boys. Im happy that I stan SHINee

[@KSS352]

Jonghyun's solo stuff is unlike any other kpop idols! It's seriously so good. Also, I can't wait for you to check out some more live concerts when you have a chance!

[@worldcitizen6542]

Key is one of SM's fashion directors, the designer for Shinee's concert outfits since 2015 (The outfits for Shinee World Concert V in 2016 are my favorites, one of the outit can be seen at 6:15), was a special editor for Korean Elle and his column was released biweekly, designed sweater and sold for charity, and other designing collaborations.

[@rique4964]

Love your reaction!! This guide has other 5 videos about the members individually, you should watch to it too! It will make us happy :) Thank you.

[@ariawang6433]

I very like Jonghyun‘s solo ，and bside also very amazing，like Hallelujah，moon，cocktail，inspiration ，Diphylleia grayi and so on. And Diphylleia grayi is very sad song，he even wrote a book called Diphylleia grayi.

[@haseul_2169]

[@jenniferolivas4464]

with everything that just happened, this came at the right time. Thanks for comforting me when I need it most

[@worldcitizen6542]

Shinee is the only group whose group concept/identity is contemporary. It is also an experimental group which goal is to be able to cater as many concepts as possible. SM and members literally experiments with different concept, style, music, dance, and fashion, and they nailed it every single time. They're given concept that only them can successfully pull off. The contemporary concept is one of a kind, not easy to implement, that's why there's no other group in SM with similar concept, and even in the industry (as far as I know). They're often called the blueprint. Everything Shinee does will become a trend. Shinee is also the group whose members are personally picked by Lee Soo Man (SM founder and former CEO).

[@toodleloos]

i haven't seen any content of yours before but i really enjoyed this 🥰 i love seeing people enjoy shinee, i'll have to check out some of your other reactions

[@4Peace.]

Thank you for your reactions, as always. Looking forward to more, of course. Be well.
