Kibum (Key) wrote the lyrics to You&I , he said that he wrote them last summer but recently edited them , i personnally think that he wrote them about both his grandmother and Jonghyun , he lost his grandma back in 2014 who basically was the one who raised him up rather than his parents , and now he lost Jonghyun ...

[@rorawol8608]

SHINee's music has that effect. We can feel the 'feeling' they want to convey in their voices/music and make us emotional. They are very sincere with their music, they have an identity. We call that SHINee-like ~~ Nice reaction! You really need to listen more of their songs :)

[@savaspilletta]

there's one time in the interview, where Taemin explain why they decided to move on and start the new album. It's simply because they want to stay together as Shinee.. They don't want to disband, and I think that the last thing that they need.. Making this album means instead of busy with their own activities, they are able to promoting together, staying together as a group, as a family, and coping with their grieve together...

[@Lualvarez]

This comeback is really hard for us Shawols but I can't imagine how it must be for them, and of course that anyone can see that, no matter how long you've been their fan. What happened shook all the industry and it changed everything for SHINee and our fandom. But they decided to continue being together and move forward as five, always five, and our job now is support them and show them so much love. I really hope you become their fan the more you know about them, because you won't regret it. They've been my faves for 6 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. 💙

[@onewsfalsetto9439]

bless your heart. it is better to be empathetic and be sincere with your emotions than try to bury them and let them rot your gut. thank you for loving shinee.

[@dorkiecookie]

its ok mando!!! you're an empath at heart and thats beautiful. im glad you enjoyed shinee's album like most of us did! i dont know if youve checked out their Odd album but i think you'll enjoy that very much!

[@roseroyaltyy]

I understand if you saw gifs from the interview thinking they might have been uncomfortable for them... but they actually agreed to talk about it (because they said they should talk about it at least once) and in the moment they got emotional. The hosts were definitely treading as lightly as they could around them. If you watch the whole thing you can tell they wanted to talk about it on their own terms in front of the public. I'm glad they did, because the articles that came out in Korea after that interview got a lot of attention so it felt like people got to understand everything from SHINee's viewpoint. They talked about some really important things, like how they felt about the comments online, getting counselling, wanting to move forward together and not break up after what happened. One thing really important they said was they they are not entirely okay yet, but they wanted to make this comeback for themselves and Jonghyun. I think it means that with this comeback they want to honour him and heal together.

[@MindOfMando]

G I just couldn’t bring myself to watching the whole thing but I guess I should. It was just hard to watch even those small moments

[@roseroyaltyy]

Yeah I got very emotional too. Most of the episode was actually very light hearted and talking about anecdotes together and they addressed this at the end. You seem like a very empathetic person which is not a bad thing at all... I'm glad you don't hold back from feeling things. Jonghyun actually always said it was okay for men to cry because men are people too haha

[@EmmaSol94]

Shinee World is like family to me. No other fandom makes me feel this way(Literally seeing the pearl aqua ocean and hearing fanchants makes me emotional haha). Even if you are new, you're still here with us. Thank you for taking time out of your life to feel what we do, and I'm happy that their music gives you something in return.

[@ZoryaUtrennyaya]

Emma Paddfjes Being at a SHINee concerts is the best feeling I have as Shawols, when we sing SHINee songs together and our thousands voices meld into one it's beautiful and humbling to be a part of SHINee World.

[@EmmaSol94]

It will always be regretful for me that I havent seen them yet, but considering how I felt just streaming concert audio live... I can barely imagine how it is to really be there. But yeah, Shawols singing makes me so proud!

[@MyCode61116]

There is nothing wrong with tearing up or getting emotional. You not knowing SHINee longer doesn’t mean you aren’t entitled to what you are feeling. We even cry just reading a book or hearing a fiction story. I think that is empathy, sorry if my vocabulary fails me. But I see you are sensitive to what others feel, and end up sharing, feeling what that person might he feeling?? Ahh.. I can’t explain, my vocabulary fails me. Respects. And, nothing wrong with a man showing emotions. That’s the most manly thing actually, for me. You & I got me most, the lyrics.. esp. that it’s written by member Key.

[@ghismhd2189]

By the way, Onew voice makes strange things to your body...one of the best voice i've ever heard in global music industry, so special❤

[@ghismhd2189]

They are known to be the kings of live performance for something, I hugely recommed you to react to their Dome Concert songs (specially "picasso, excuse me miss, sherlock clue+note) it will blow your mind out, they are so talented and amazing, thanks for your reactions, new subscriber here!!😊 (PS. Their dome concert don't get strikes from youtube, a lot have reacted to them without getting in trouble)

[@MrJennababo]

Oh my gosh you're reaction to U & I made me cry. It's okay. You're very empathetic and that reminded me of Jonghyun. Jonghyun was the same way. He was sensitive and emotional and not afraid to cry. He was a beautiful person inside and out. And he in fact was raised my women too, his mom and older sister (whom he loved dearly). I think being an emotional and sensitive person also made him suffer sometimes. Ahh I miss him. 💔 But thank you for the reaction. I'm glad that you're taking your time to really get to know SHINee

[@milindawilson9175]

But without that emotional and sensitive side to him we would have never been able to experience the amazing song writer and composer that he was. That sensitive side to Jonghyun is what made him such a great artist and person. The world has truly lost one of the greatest people to have blessed this world and he will forever be missed and loved and SHINee will forever make sure of that. :D

[@MrJennababo]

Milinda Wilson yes that's true. It made him more understanding and accepting of people 💖

[@Maiko134]

If you watch the full video instead of the gifs, because believe me I felt angry that they asked them that even though I expected it... The gifs were taken out of context, they were still uncomfortable and sad but the entire thing was more like, "I know it may be too soon but-" instead of "You are four members now let's talk about that" the hosts were very respectful all things considering. SHINee actually directed the music video, its based off of the Little Prince which was one of Jonghyun's favorite stories. The lyrics are also about Jonghyun (in my opinion) with the references to the moon, since a blue moon appeared the day Jonghyun died. They are still grieving, even in their live performances, you can just tell. They will always be grieving, they lost more than a member, they lost family. But the entire album is amazing as per SHINee's normal.

[@MindOfMando]

Maiko134 yea that’s why you always should get the full story. It’s just when I see things like that I personally just can’t watch. Now that you all are telling me this I will probably go and watch

[@MyCode61116]

5HINee’s MUSIC, 5HINee’s Songs.. Then to now pulls strings to my heart. They have a way of delivering the feeling of the song and the lyrics that makes you into it, like they are delivering a story, they’re including you into it.

[@milindawilson9175]

There is nothing to be sorry about!!!! All it means is you are a true Shawol and you are an intelligent person with emotions that understands the significance of the songs and this album and what it means to everyone. In "Good Evening" not only is the shadow that appears when they look into the tunnel/well (whatever you call it) speculated to be Jonghyun's shadow, but the fox is thought to also represent him. Onew intensely stares into the eyes of the fox, almost as if he is communicating with the fox through his thoughts, and to me its as if he is sharing a moment with Jonghyun. There is a fox in the story "The Little Prince" and "The Little Prince' was one of Jonghyun's favorite stories, plus a fox often represents the after life and the spirit of someone who has passed on reincarnated in many cultures. Also in the beginning you see 5 chairs and one of them is empty. An empty chair is often used to represent the spirit of someone who has passed on as well. But that's just a small portion of the hidden messages within the "Good Evening' MV. If you really delve in deep you will discover that the whole MV can be connected to SHINee forever being 5 members and them including Jonghyun in all that they do. As you know, the album is called "The Story of Light" and its all about finding the light out of the darkness, etc. There are 5 trees at the end which could represent the fact that SHINee will forever be 5 members. i agree, the story in the MV could be showing the 5 stages of grief the members went through and how they have now at the end of the MV started to find their way out of it and have made the choice to continue to keep on running and continue on as a group, etc. But I could go on and on ... every part of this MV has a deeper message and meaning, you just have to open yourself up to the fact that everything in this MV has multiple meanings and purposes. We should all just prepare ourselves that it is always going to be emotional for us from now on and there is nothing wrong with that. In SHINee's most recent fan meeting for their 10th anniversary the members all vowed that SHINee will always be 5 and when they performed the choreo for some of their most iconic songs they intentionally left Jonghyuns spot open and only filled in for him when something just wouldn't work without someone in that position. I think we are always going to have reminders of him in all that SHINee does from now on, and that is the way it should be. He was loved and will never be forgotten, and when possible, should always be involved in things that have to do with SHINee. Never apologize for having emotions and I love that you aren't afraid to show them when it really matters. OT5 forever and ever. I think we can feel Jonghyun's presence and influence in this album and songs because a lot of what made SHINee's sound uniquely SHINee (and this album is no exception) was because of Jonghyun. He not only shaped SHINee's sound because he was the main vocal of the group but he also wrote and composed over 60 percent of SHINee's songs, so he can be felt in everything they do. It wouldn't be SHINee if we didn't hear his influence shine through in their music, that is what makes SHINee's sound so unlike any other. This comeback makes me so happy :D Like EXO, where we have to search for the hidden meanings and messages in their MVs to piece together their story, I think from now on we will always be searching for the hidden messages and moments that represent Jonghyun in everything SHINee does.

[@angellee9008]

Jong left an imprint on them that when you hear them sing you would think it's Jong that is singing. Thank you for your honest review. Teaser of I Want You has been released last night. Can't wait for the whole video.

[@milindawilson9175]

[@zadordarojat1505]

Watch their live performance on KBS, Music bank, and other music show for good evening and all day all night,, they sing them live all the time,, you could hear onew's voice crack tho' in 'all day all night' bcs the dance and the note are just intense...

[@zadordarojat1505]

I appreciate your reaction so much... thank you... subscibed 👍

[@MindOfMando]

They can dance and sing. Doing both together and staying in key is hard. So when I hear that it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I may chuckle some times but just because BTOBs voice cracks do that to me. They make fun of each other on stage when it happens so I can’t help it lol. I’m glad you enjoy the video 😊

[@ibringit987]

Hope you watch one of the live performances for All Day All Night the choreo is amazing

[@stephanieanne842]

I think u are right about the 1st part when u talked about the cameras. How they are watched. Anything they do someone will always want to judge them. Taemin sitting on top of the tv and onew sitting infront of him, i feel like taemin represents the public how they are always keeping an eye out. Waiting for something to happen so they can call them out. To connect with that, more than being sad i think they were expressionless tbh to show that any sort of emotion seen on their face, can be misinterpreted or seen in a diff light so they keep the straight face so that even if they are cut off from their freedom of space, they will never show them how they feel. (Esp onew's expression kinda like bored)

[@stupid_bunny6276]

It was heartbreaking seeing them during Jonghyun's funeral procession. You could hear and see numerous camera flashes and clicks. They couldn't even mourn properly. The price of being a celebrity.

[@MindOfMando]

Ma. Crescente Pangan it’s unfortunate. I know even them as artists understand that they’re in the spotlight. It comes with the territory but I’m also sure a part of them wishes people would give them space when it’s needed.

[@MyvIsLove2]

shinee chose to appear on radiostar and answer this question because they wanted to talk about it before someone else would do it. please watch the whle thing. of course it was hard for them but they wanted to do it and it is a really nice interview

[@MindOfMando]

Hachiko Yui yea thanks to the comments I know that. It’s still always hard for me to watch interviews like that. Just knowing how it goes even though they were aware gets me. Thank you for letting me know though 😊

[@gina1861]

Thanks again for the reaction! I can't wait for the other two parts too. And I love how you really looked into their music and are sensitive to their situation. I love the music but everything is still heartbreaking. And I agree that good evening sounds sad. The music is bright but you can hear and feel the sadness and longing in their voices. And I don't want to sound like I'm putting them in a box and making them sound like sad people but its what is true and real and I know they put that in their music. I feel like they are singing to jonghyun and especially taemin and onew's adlibs after the second chorus it hurts a little. But I'm still trying to enjoy this comeback. And it really makes me happy when I see you really enjoy their music and try to understand them. Shinee's music is so special to me and you can tell that they really put their all in their singing and performance, and they don't just sing the songs they are given, they really make it their own and create a works of art. Thank you if you read this cuz I'm just ranting about how good they are now haha i miss jonghyun so much but shinee is forever! Can't wait for your next reaction~

[@gina1861]

Add I wanted to add that I'm thankful and touched that you can empathize and yes I believe that music has the power to do that. Honestly the hardest part was feeling that no one understood why jonghyuns passing affected me so much. But his music was really my everything and I hated that people couldn't understand just because I didn't know him. Of course its a different pain to his friends and family that I can't even imagine, but it was more difficult with no one to understand or empathize. So thank you for helping me feel a little understood. Even if you thought it was too emotional it made someone feel a little better!

[@MindOfMando]

Of course I read the comment. I’m glad I could help make you feel a little better. I also have to learn that it’s ok to get emotional sometimes but for me it’s different because even you compared to me have a deeper connection with them. It will always feel strange personally and I’ll always ask why I feel that way but I guess it’s just how I am. Not the worst thing I could be so I can’t be mad

[@ghismhd2189]

I love your high sensitivity to music. It okay to be an emotional person. You look like a nice person

[@michelleabaz8417]

Shinee back🔥🔥

[@MyCode61116]

LIVES.. ahh!! SHINee’s LIVES ARE 💎💎💎💎💎. Choose a genre/style, check a LIVE and you will NEVER be disappointed.. ANY OF IT.

[@TheHappyfacesmiles]

if you're interested in watching a full concert from them, almost all of their concert dvd releases are here on youtube. I'm not saying to make a video out of it, idk if you could get away with that, idk how copyright works but I personally love watching SHINee's concerts and i think it is a great way to see a mix of their older, lesser known songs as well as their popular title songs and just see a great liver performance. My faves are SHINee World III and SHINee World IV

[@milindawilson9175]

i second everything you said and agree whole heartedly. You can't truly appreciate all that makes SHINee one of the best and legends until you see a whole concert. SHINee concerts are one of the only concerts I can watch over and over again from beginning to end and never be board, even though I know exactly what is going to happen because I have seen it so many times. :D I too recommend watching their SHINee World Concert 3 and SHINee World Concert 4 in Seoul official DVD footage. There is nothing like a SHINee concert.

[@smatias83]

Feeling emotions is being empathetic and that’s a beautiful quality to have. Appreciate it! We need more empathetic people in this world!

[@endoomy]

react more to sinee,super junior and exo 🙏💚💚

[@wawahani]

I cry so much when i hear and read the lyric of You & I... i can feel the emotion from their voice and lyric.. btw, Thank you from us Shawol for this reaction...

[@DroWarriorOfLight]

I love how genuine that was, man (especially during U&I ofc). The only thing I want to tell you is don't feel bad for feeling that way. Jong would adore you bc of that, I'm pretty sure :) Thank you

[@IrmCik]

Minho said “‘Good Evening’ describes how the public sees SHINee and ‘I Want You’ describes how we(SHINee) see SHINee.”...And we all know that "Our Page" is for Jonghyun and for the 5 shining themselves.

[@ayeshakhalid4339]

You and I was written by Key himself 💗

[@seleneklarelee930]

I always tear up listening to "You and I", always, I can't help it...

[@Pos1t1veThinking]

btw, that live performance isn't a great example, because I'm pretty sure SM edited the audio before uploading it. They tend to do that with album showcase stages, even if the idols did sing live originally. If you want to see & hear proper live Shinee, I recommend their recent performances on YHY's Sketchbook.

[@soapwol]

I don’t usually do reaction channels, but your empathy and care and appreciation of SHINee is so nice to watch. Thank you.

[@mariposasabia]

I cried too during You and I and I think all Shawols cried. Been a fan since 2011, that's 7 years. I am glad SHINee is loved more and more everyday.

[@TheHekateris]

You're not alone in crying to U&I. I don't think I've watched any reaction video where people (mostly men) haven't had to stop, or cry. Whether or not they're Shawols, they all feel it. ♥

[@mariposasabia]

You should see their live performance of All Day All Night too

[@mariposasabia]

Ahh Love like Oxygen in the background

[@bleuferns78]

New subscriber here...like your reaction to you & i

[@Boubouchan1]

the shawdow wasn't the only hint to Jonghyun, above the wall we can clearly see 5 trees with a particular short one, which I think symbolises Jjong because he was the shortest member

[@hanishshkr]

nice observation skills, i didn't notice most of the things you pointed out in their mv.

[@hanblue4413]

I really appreciate your sincere review! But I wish, though this is not at all your fault, that the lyric videos chosen were someone else's, since the translations are kinda badly done on these ones; like google-translate bad. Again, not your fault! I hope you keep making videos, they're super enjoyable to watch

[@MindOfMando]

Han BLUE yea it’s happened to me before with a song from mamamoo. Just hard for me to tell if they’re correct obviously 😅. But if there’s a better one that you know of for any of the songs let me know and I’ll read them on my own 👌🏽

[@luminus6184]

I had a similar experience with a different MV once. It was a sad song and sad MV, but not the first time I watched sad MV or listened to sad songs. When they started to sing and maybe a couple of bars after, I had to pause it. Later I found that there was a sad story behind it, but the MV itself has no direct reference to it. Nevertheless, I have never felt that strongly while watching MV before. I guess what I am trying to say is that I think I understand what and how you feel. If by any chance you come across that MV in the future, I will tell you about it. ^^ Another song which I was deeply moved, but not necessarily in a depressingly sad manner, has some high chance that you will react to. I will tell you about that as well when you get there. Hope you are feeling better and thank you for your reaction!

[@MindOfMando]

Luminus I had that experience with The Ark’s “the light”. It had a nice hip hop vibe then it got to a part in the MV where I realized there may be more to it. After I found out about the Sewol Tragedy I haven’t been able to go back to that MV.

[@endoomy]

react to super junior on stage 💙💙💙
