Taemin (Shinee) and Jimin (BTS) Showdown REACTION

[@gebbydthe4325]

Taemin is one of Jimin bestfriend. Jimin has a friendship squad named "Padding squad" with taemin (shinee), kai (exo), and sungwoon, timoteo (hotshot), Ravi (VIXX) and kwonho.

[@vi2751]

quite possibly one of the most powerful squads of all time. I wish they could reunite tho:(

Taemin debuted as the main dancer and vocalist of SHINee in 2008 - when he was just 15 years old. He’s only 26 but has 12 years of experience under his belt. Ultimate respect for him. Gotta love SHINee. (RIP and happy birthday Jjong.) Jimin is one of Taemin’s best friends so there’s really no competition there. This isn’t really a dance battle but more of 2 close friends doing a dance collab.

Thank you for clarifying. The competition that the reactor was seeing didn’t even exist. It was a little bit annoying thb.

U need to check out his solo works to see his full potential. This performance doesnt do justice to his caliber. Please check out Move or Want by him.

I went to a SuperM concert on a whim last minute (friend had to bail and sold her ticket cheap). Only knew jopping, not a SM group fan usually. didn’t have my glasses but even blurry far away Taemin had me going “WHO IS THAT ONE! THE ONE WITH THE MOVES.” Move, Danger and Want are absolute bops and just, yeah the boy can Dance

[@jessalice7276]

Absolutely, Taemin is known as one of the best dancers in kpop for a reason. He has a bunch of solo videos that really show off his talent (Move, Want and Danger are some of the more well known). I would also recommend Sayonara Hitori (but maybe on your own time as Japanese copywrite can be difficult)

[@VictoriousNamja]

Imagine saying Taemin "has a little something" 🤣 joking DT it's all love ! But Taemin is a musical genius and a beast ! He's the youngest member of SHINee (debuted in 2008), one of the best kpop group existing. That video is not doing him justice. I f you like Jimin's style you will love Taemin's for sure. I recommend you to react to Taemin's MV "MOVE #2 Performance video", "WANT", "DANGER", "THIRSTY", "Drip Drop", "Press your number". Actually I'm begging you to react to those ! You said you wanted to discover other worthy artists besides BTS, Taemin is the one, trust me !!

Because Taemin is like rolemodel of many idols out there who like dancing that's why looks similar, these 2 are bestfriend and kai from EXO and SuperM also they BF so you can see similar kind of dance also if u see him. But they personaly have they own magic so 😁

I don't think a single person familiar with Taemin can dislike him even a little. I am a hard BTS Fan, but I have every Taemin track on my playlist and if he drops ANYTHING, I will drop EVERYTHING! Taemin is a KING, a legend in his own right. You opened another whole can of worms. Shinee is no joke and they are considered one of the pioneers and are very respected.

[@everuby4787]

I don't get why new reactors and BTS' fans hate or dislike Taemin, he is one of the hardest working guy in Kpop, he has been training for almost 14 years and he is only 26 years old almost 27, and all he has done is work, work, work... He doesn't compete with anyone, he doesn't hate anyone, he helps everyone, he knows everyone, why?? Learn who he is before you judge him. Could you at least say he is good at what he does, I mean someone with 15 albums with Shinee, and 7 Solo albums in both Korean and Japanese, with sold out concerts and as a solo artist too and as a member of Super M now and still member of Shinee... Can't you see that?? Oh please, stop it.

[@izetisa4233]

Both dancers are amazing. On one hand, Jimin got me because of his gracefulness (that he expreses with his whole body) and great facial expresions, which are obviously very engaging. On the other hand, Taemin got me with his sharp and smooth moments specially with his lower body (also, maybe due to his physical features I've notice that Taemin can move really fast if he wants to). So, even thought they have a style that is very similar aside from the dance genre that is mainly asociated with certain songs (like in the last part of this clip, when they were dancing to that edm mix, some caracteristiques they have are the smoothness, but also the 'contrast' in the execution (in one moment they do some beautiful, soft and slow movements, yet the next second they change it up completely with a strong and powerful movement).

[@vocaleader2993]

ain’t nobody out here doing it like taemin. man’s known as the korean michael jackson for a reason 🤷‍♀️ nah but fr tho, taemin is well respected within the industry and for good reason. he’s been in this game for 12 years since he was 14 so he’s definitely among the best and a role model to many. there are no words to describe how good the group he’s apart of, shinee, are as well. definitely recommend checking out more shinee and taemin (also just in general more 2nd gen kpop artists and groups)

In my opinion Jimin has a special fluidity and sensuality when he dances - his moves tend to almost ripple through his body like a wave right to his fingers and toes. Taemin is known to be a dance king. He's very smooth and hits all the marks perfectly. There's no doubt he's an accomplished dancer, and he's a veteran in this competitive industry. I just find Jimin's dancing to be more "emotional" and expressive. The part where their choreography is the same is where people will decide whose style of dancing they prefer. I just happen to find Jimin's body to be more sculpted and his moves more sensual and alluring - his dancing is very visually appealing. As you are well aware, Jimin is captivating to watch and the Jimin effect is in full force when he dances. They are friends so this must have been fun for them as they don't have many chances to perform together.

[@kentuckykat58]

[@laryssalapa2064]

Taemin has 12 years experience as a dancer in kpop... He is even called the Korean Michael Jackson! Every idol respects him a lot, including the BTS members. Fun fact is that him and Jimin are very close friends and hang out very often! This stage was a bless for people like me that always loved both of these talented fellows.

[@-68]

Honestly this performance isn’t a great indicator on either one of their dancing capabilities tbh. Like when I saw this performance for the first time, I jus kept wondering what all the hype about Taemin was for. Till I saw more of his performances and had to eat my words. Guy’s considered a legend by many, professionals or otherwise

[@micahm2177]

This was me! LOOOL, man I ate my words too cos no one is so dedicated to their art of dance like he is. He used to practice until his nose bled. His solo concerts are an absolute pleasure, his stage presence and strength when on stage is different. Now that I know them both well, I want more of that from Jimin. I would love to see Jimin tackle a dance style like 'Drip-drop' or 'thirsty'. That would be a TREAT! I think Jimin might enjoy being more an almost seductive performer mostly though.

He dances as naturally as breathing, which is very hard to see in this short video. I'd really recommend you watch some of his other dance videos, in particular the dance practices for his videos like "Move", "Famous", "Danger", "Press Your Number" (dance performance MVs for this one) and "Sayonara Hitori" (I love the duo practice of this the best!).

He should definitely get to know more about Taemin because he really is an amazing performer. But I don't think that he looks down on him because he clearly said that in Super M Taemin was the one who caught his attention and he actually admitted that Taemin is talented (which duh of course he is). It's just that in THIS SPECIFIC dance "battle" where the two of them (Jimin and Taemin) seemed so similar in style to him, Jimin was the one he liked more, but that doesn't mean he looked down on Taemin. At the end of the day that's what bias means: that you picked one individual from a group of people, because you felt attracted to them in a way and for him it's Jimin, so he will naturally like him more than anyone.

js95 sj95 yeah...I don’t feel the MJ thing...MJ was known for his pop locking dance style and that is NOT Taemin’s style at all. I sometimes we him trying to dance with MJs fluidity and he does ok with that but classic MJ is not Taemin.

[@aceryu95]

@@Soho389 Taemin was called Michael Jackson of Korea since his debut. But I also think Jimin and Taemin are dancers of different styles. Taemin has a robot-like technique, but Jimin dances in unpredictable areas.

[@Soho389]

js95 sj95 I know what he is called I’m just saying it’s not accurate. The dance styles are very different form MJs.

[@patygrzes8153]

Everybody is recommending Move and Want. Move is a must of course, because it´s iconic. But for a first time, I think Thirsty and Drip Drop are a better example of Taemin´s talent than Want. Want is too similar to Move and in the MV you can´t appreciate his dancing skills that much.

[@ceelavee]

I appreciate you acknowledging your bias toward Jimin. I mean...it's Jimin. 💜

[@Meerkat17]

Taemin is only 2 years older(born 1993) than Jimin but he was in the idol industry way longer. He debuted as the youngest member (maknae) of SHINee in 2008, which makes him 5 years senior to BTS. Anyway he was suuuper young like Jungkook when he debuted. He's known for his awesome dancing, then later for his vocals as well! Taemin's name is often listed as one of the best dancers in kpop! He's a good friend and respected senior to Jimin, so I'm happy to see you find out and learn about him! :)

[@D0llM0deTV]

They arent competing. They are good friends

[@laurahilliker5336]

DT, Taemin is Pronounced “Tay men” Taemin is from the Group SHINee and also SuperM of the SM Entertainment. Taemin is a fantastic dancer, please react to, his music videos, “Want” and “ Move”

[@green75525]

"Move" by Taemin is a great video to show just how fluid and smooth he is. Please check it out!

[@sirdromos2769]

I mean the all kpop Fandom as to acknowledge that taemin is the best dancer in kpop. Like he is the maknae of shinee. The kings of live performances.

[@hannahol7817]

Even tho Jimin is one my ult biases...... You just can't compare him to Taemin. Taemin has been doing this for so much longer and has rightfully earned the title of "Korea's Michael Jackson".

[@TheBoytoy09]

I don't care who you like,what fandom you belong to,who is your bias, etc. This right here was a treat for all kpop fans, and the fact that you saw a legend with a legend in the making is just priceless. I wish we had more of these collaborations, but they don't happen too often, making this a more cherished treat. 💎💜👑💎💜👑💎💜👑💎💜

[@bettycook29]

Fun fact.. Taemin is best friends with Jimin.. he actually has a squad of close friends that.. Taemin.. Kai.. and Jimin are all best friends.. BTW the Tae in Taemin's name is pronounced Tay.. like in Taylor..

[@andreiaandreia9529]

Finally!! Somebody wants to find more about Taemin !! :) Don't get me wrong: I am an ARMY for 3 years, and there isn't one single day that I don't listen at least 1 song from BTS, but when it comes to talent... sorry - TAEMIN is another k-pop amazing singer and dancer! You'll see, IF you want! :)

[@batrcapdu30]

Please put respect on Taemin's name he's literally the BEST dancer in kpop aknowledged by most of the industry's idols, choreographers and dancers but i do admit that this performance didnt really show much of his, while Jimin performed Lie Taemin performed an unreleased song (still to this day after over 3years ) you need to see his solos and his performances in shinee to get to see his real potential

[@flowerjimini3649]

I heard taemin also good dancer but for me It's always jimin jimin adds every genre in his dances and he is just flawless

[@blushylife3]

taemin and jimin and friends, you should react to some of taemins solo work he is an amazing artist and he is very respected in the kpop community he is also know as the michael jackson of korea as his dance moves and vocals are *chefs kiss* he is also a member shinee which you should check out aswell they are amazing taemins solo work -want -move -danger -thirsty -drip drop

[@laiminhmabulay7529]

for me jimin will always have an edge over the others when it comes to dancing because of his contemporary dance background but still, it’s kinda weird how you were talking like taemin is some kind of a challenger because he is actually jimin’s senior. shinee debuted way ahead of BTS and taemin is already considered as one of the versatile performers in the industry. jimin probably looked up to him. just saying. ✌️

[@purrinpudding]

Bro...taemin is- just dig deeper and you'll fall into another hole man.

[@TheEnigma888]

sooooo true

[@aristiarchon]

Taemin is pronounced Tae (like in Tailor/Taylor) Min (like in Jimin) and he is a member of the group SHINee (pronounced Shiny), a group that debuted in 2008. SHINee is one of many other groups like Shinhwa (1998), Super Junior (2005), TVXQ (2003), and Big Bang (2006) that paved the way for the newer generations of Kpop the same way that BTS is paving the way for the future generations. BTS looked up to them and were inspired greatly by these artists. Taemin and Jimin are actually really great friends (they're also really great friends with Kai, another member of SuperM who was- and still is- originally from the group EXO, that debuted in 2011. Kind of like how Jungkook has a whole squad thing going with a bunch of other male kpop idols that were all born in 1997 like him, and how Taehyung (V) is friends with literally everyone and so on). Taemin is literally a dance LEGEND, and ALL of his songs are amazing, just like all of BTS's songs (Yes, I am a Taemint as well as an ARMY- I'm actually a multifan, you can't even begin to understand the pain 😭😂) This performance was from the 2016 KBS Song Festival (I died watching that year, just like many other years 😅). They call it a "showdown" but it was actually one of many COLLABORATIONS. In KPop, they have huge shows, award shows, festivals, and events during holidays, especially at the end of the year with almost every big Kpop group and artist you can imagine and they have a whole myriad of collaborations, that the fans LIVE for, and sometimes, they even have the newer generation Kpop artists perform tributes of older generation Kpop artists (Like when BTS performed "Perfect Man," "This Love," and "T.O.P" by Shinhwa, or when they did "Rainism" by Rain, etc. Or like how ATEEZ and TXT, two other amazing groups, recently did tributes to BTS). BTS has collaborated with many artists in these events and even had "showdowns" with other huge artists like Got7 (who I also Stan), BlockB (yes, I Stan all the artists listed in this overly lengthy comment 😅), Jessi (even though it was a commercial), VIXX, etc. And I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I LOVE Jimin and Taemin's friendship because they have so many aspects that are so alike, they look a little alike to me, they're almost the same height, they're both dance legends, they both have very unique voices with unbelievably high ranges, and they're both very sweet people who laugh a lot 😅 . And just a heads up, a lot of Kpop Stans really don't like it when people compare newer artists to older artists, because in a sense, the older artists were once the newer artists. Okay... Sorry for the comment that was WAY too long 😂😅✌🏻

[@BangPDsMom]

Tae in is a monster. His songs are heart breakers, and he is strong with the ladies. Love his song “Slave”.

[@FlowerLotusThe]

It's NOT a competition!!! And nobody's better than Taemin. Period. Yes, I'm army.

[@ScribeofAryxa]

Ah Taemin, my first bias. Debuted in 2008 in Shinee at the age of 14, had his solo debut in 2014 and is also in SuperM (the one with the motorcycle in the Jopping MV). Listen, he's highly respected in kpop for being a great dancer and performer. Both Taemin and Jimin are excellent dancers and are best friends, they just come from different dance backgrounds and Taemin has just been in the industry longer. If you want to see more I highly recommend Taemin's "MOVE" or "WANT".

[@tiffanyjiaxinhuang8503]

That’s why you have to watch the interview along with this performance 😂, they are friends and make fun of each other a lot. Being a Jimin bias but still caught attention to Taemin, that’s enough to proof Taemin’s talent

[@muhamadzainurahman3210]

Taemin in is a legend in Kpop. He debuted with the group Shinee when he was just 14. He has several solos as well. He is an amazing artist. Btw, this was a friendly "battle." They are friends or at least friendly.

[@718pjm]

YES FINALLY YOU REACTED TO THIS!! okay here’s the thing, this was a completely FRIENDLY COLLABORATION Jimin had wanted to collab with Taemin for a long time and when they finally performed this together they were so happy to dance together on stage, Jimin said before they couldn’t practice together this since they were both busy in their own groups (Jimin with BTS and Taemin with SHINee) so they had no option but to practice on their own and yet they danced flawlessly. Taemin and Jimin are best friends!! they hang out together go on vacation etc they have been friends since 2015/2016. a little introduction about Taemin, he has been in the industry along with his group SHINee since 2008 and he is just as good at dancing and singing as Jimin they have different dance styles for sure but he’s just as good. the industry calls him the Korean Michael Jackson, and yes they’re indeed very alike they both have said it before lol the way they move and face features are similar too not to mention they have the same height and they joke about it a lot i recommend you to react to SHINee!! and i recommend to react to Press Your Number, Danger and Want by Taemin!!

[@ShawolOT5]

What does Taemin have, you ask? He has the mutual love and respect of Jimin. They’re besties. It’s pretty crazy when you consider they weren’t able to rehearse this due to clashing schedules, eh? I’m obviously Taemin-biased, whereas you’re obviously Jimin-biased…and though I do not listen to BTS, I love and respect all of them. They and SHINee are very good friends, and BTS showed up during SHINee’s and Shawol’s darkest moment when we lost Jonghyun (whom they also loved and respected). The primary problem with comparing these two incredible artists is their background. To my understanding, Jimin has a formal dance background with ballet and contemporary dance. Taemin started at age 11 in SM as a self-taught pop-lock dancer. Despite being self-taught, he was one of three chosen from thousands the day he auditioned and began his idol career at the incredibly young age of 14 as the main dancer of one of the most legendary groups of K-pop history, the undisputed Princes of K-pop, SHINee. Taemin and Jimin have worked hard to get to the level they’ve achieved and I’m proud of them both. (Oh, and the reason I don’t listen to BTS has nothing to do with them…they have enough fans already and being a Shawol, SuperM Supporter (can we get a name already?!?), and Stay is expensive enough as it is without adding even more expenses!)
