TAEMIN 태민 'Criminal' MV | REACTION!!!

[@ethel.albuquerque]

Taemin is a true artist. That’s the point.

[@Jujvtsu]

Facts sis

[@Apetitegirly]

yes all kpop artists are amazing we need to respect everyone

[@kyleb4u789]

End of discussion periodt

[@dayleashleynolasco5765]

Ethel, he isn't enough to be an Artist. He is literally a living ART.

[@karla1118]

And then when you see Taemin in his interviews, reality show he's nothing like this lol. The duality of this man!

[@in97able]

Well he stole a jacket from Key and also copy the signatures of his members... but yeah he is a baby cheese.

[@karla1118]

taeminsus loool you’re right!

[@UG6690]

taeminsus lmao!!! Couldn’t have put it more accurately!

[@MasNas624]

He’s a really good actor in those MVs!

[@jaxcey4288]

WORD 😂

[@addisondurrence1431]

The song is about Stockholm Syndrome from the victim's pov from what I've heard. If you look at the lyrics it actually makes total sense it's about Stockholm Syndrome imo

[@serenity3034]

👀

[@phantomjoo]

i knew it was giving me killing stalking vibes

[@nznn4187]

Wow that make sense 🤐👌

[@Melontannie27]

Not too long ago Taemin himself got upset when the company released a snippet of the song on his reality show during a fun vibe type of situation, when he himself said this was a serious song and not taken in a light tone. Fans were upset that the company had done that and were trying to get that part edited out for Taemin's sake. This song is supposed to be taken in a serious and deeper context, that is Stockholm syndrome.

[@maymaecat5149]

Wow that makes sense. I couldn't figure out if it was just a Toxic relationship?? A Muse being trapped by who he had inspired (I was making a whole story connecting it to Want and maybe famous. It makes tones of sense in my head). I knew it was dark though those lyrics where pretty telling for sure

[@TAEMholic]

The concept is "Stockholm Syndrome". He is the Criminal and the Victim. It is a metaphor on how he cannot breakaway from himself. At first he was dancing with his hands tied but then he learned how to embrace his addicting and enticing parts so he was dancing more freely, but not happily. The catharsis would then allow him for a rebirth (as an artist). His new self will be shown on Act 2. Thank you, Bris!

[@maragkudai1987]

Taemin is ART!!! His voice is so sexy and his dance is so powerfull and elegant. Just WOW !!!!!!

[@TrishhMakes]

yup, waiting for this reaction lol. heterosexuality can be left at the door, thank you.

[@ROSE-pg1op]

I totally agree with you I love his reactions and how he jumps out of his chair so excited or laughing

[@jiminbias7059]

Yessss I agree 100%

[@neo_cultured9771]

And toxic masculinity can be left behind too

[@DTaishouchiha]

Who said I'm straight? Jajajaja I love all this

[@stellameii]

I fucking love this comment😆😂

[@Erika-oo1qo]

Taemin's whole existence is unorthodox in a good way for everyone who watches him

[@aliciawiggins1491]

If Michael Jackson and Madonna had a baby, it would be Taemin...

[@caitlynmarg0812]

No offenss but where is the Madonna-

[@malikisaflowerboy47]

More like Prince

[@felicitas.c.]

@@caitlynmarg0812 maybe cause she is the queen of pop

[@chloebalatsoukas5148]

t i r e d o f i t . I also think the commenter was referring more to Madonna's unique and unorthodox concepts she used to be known for back in the day

[@caitlynmarg0812]

@@chloebalatsoukas5148 ahhh okay

[@yehetkkaebsong6225]

Taemin is “the best solo artist in whole industry”

[@hann1733]

this song describes the feeling about stockholm syndrome, it's my favorite concept from taemin, its so unique and amazing

[@yesimn.9285]

This is Taemin style. Taemin originality.

[@erinohlson3717]

Yet another masterpiece by Taemin .

[@cimannontostcronch]

love the direction taemin has been taking his music ❤😩 his voice has this haunting quality to it, so this style really suits him so well

[@z9.aysuuu]

Taemin ISNT a Human. He is ART. And that’s on PERIODT

[@antnn4535]

Once you Taem-IN you simply can't Taem-out! It's like a rule! So addicted to his art! ♡♡♡

[@paigek3096]

It's confusing to me when I see people thinking Taemin is the criminal. imo it's pretty clear from the opening lyrics (and everything thereafter) that he's describing an unhealthy relationship with this other person. The whole direction of the MV shows Taemin in a restrained manner, either battling hand ties or himself. His voice, his dancing, his acting all point to someone who's trapped and in pain, but isn't quite sure if they should leave.

[@SabakunoRaikiri]

It’s because it shows him captured by the swat team as well that’s why people got confused. Also not everyone remembered to turn cc on I guess 😂

[@yasarjawad7508]

But in his commentary he said this is about himself

[@lori4021]

Ah you should watch Taemin's own commentary. Also Bookish and Theories made a great analysis of this song. The surface meaning of the lyrics is obvious. But this masterpiece is way more than what it seems. In the MV, Taemin is portraying both the victim and the criminal. I think that's why his album has two versions - The Suspect and The Innocent.

[@brukrblt]

@@lori4021 yesss was about to say that thank you

[@RubyRose-jz4lq]

Me as a 17 year old watching this - Sureee Bris “fun time”😂

[@serenity3034]

I’m 15, and I was like, “Mhmm, I know what you saying....😗👀”

[@Someone-dm2rc]

I’m 10 years old-

[@hal4828]

I'm 17 too haha

[@cherry-kk6sc]

Still waiting for taemin: idea reaction...who else? ;-;

[@sindahat7451]

I love how he's reminiscent of MJ but has his own very unique style-Combined with this choreo by Koharu and Kasper, it's just killer.

[@cbnoir7256]

Finally! The Ace of Aces is back!

[@Luminous.A.Glory_VitaNostra]

ACE!!! So true!!! He’s the best!!

[@mariapaulas199]

Thinking how this is one of my favorite Albums of all times. You really can see 'Taemin' in the complete Album. That's what he wants, for his own genre to shine and for people to say 'That's Taemin. That's a Taemin song/dance'. And I'm loving how people are acknowledging his vocals, from seeing him just as a top tier dancer to people talking about his voice. Taemin is breaking the category of idol to Artist with every comeback. He is his own genre. He WILL be REMEMBERED. MJ was MJ. Taemin is Taemin, even when his persona is evolving and Mj was one of his inspirations for his dreams. And I see fans fighting to put their favorite in the highest position, best dancer, best vocalist, etc. and forgeting to enjoy music and appreciate different artistry. In music history there is not just one artist, but artists who marked their name. Taemin is one of them. And I didn't think I was going to make a speech. Thank you comming to my TedTalk

[@lori4021]

I think your TedTalk is necessary and I appreciate it.

[@fafa7883]

Best dancer prove me wrong

[@shimmieshimmie1884]

Taemin is a LIVING ART‼️ His moves, songs, lyrics... OMG that lyrics doesn’t it feel so sexy and at the same time dark and intimidating?? If Prince and MJ had a Korean child, that would’ve been Taemin. PeriodT.

[@juliejames6322]

lol, there is no chill to Taemin. He performs at 11 every single time. Damn but I love him, and I’m gonna LOVE watching your reaction!

[@zia2279]

OHO YESSS i WAS WAITING FOR THIS everything about taemin's comeback and album IS S TIER!! Taemin recently became my ult, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back.. The true standard, one of the kings of kpop.

[@Liz-rf4qu]

Taemin is the, king of kpop. Period! This is my favourite song by Taemin. My absolute favourite. I love how his mind works.

[@skyangel6130]

Taemin IDEA Reaction? the song OMG It’s so gorgeous so amazing!!!!!

[@starlettgraham181]

taemin is flawless, no one like him in this world. Never to be categories

[@nznn4187]

TAEMIN IS JUST PERFECT AS USUAL 💕

[@lansc]

Can't believe you still haven't done a reaction to Taemin's IDEA ?! It's SO GOOD what are you waiting for 😭

[@chloe2348]

Yes, we would love if you couild make a reaction about this song, please !!

[@glorietta6629]

React Idea from Taemin 🔊

[@Phatbaby1011]

“Making fun time “ has me 💀 lol

[@codebrker24]

I no longer refer to Taemin as "Korea's MJ"in-fact I never did. I just refer to him as "Taemin the Artist" . Taemin has earned that respect and I am more than willing to give it to him.

[@lori4021]

I completely agree. Although I'm not averse to the MJ comparison. It's time to acknowledge that Taemin is Taemin!

[@teuwave]

Only Taemin can make a toxic relationship seem so freaking sensual. Period.

[@andsoshebecameaphoenixandf561]

I just came from Bris reaction to Wonho. Now it's time for the Legend TAEMIN. I already know he's going to flip. Taemin is on a level all on his own and no one can match him. Like DAMN, this man is just too much. Just so f*ing talented.

[@Luminous.A.Glory_VitaNostra]

Level all on his own!!! ACCURATE

[@katherinetellez7014]

Taemin is the MJ of the kpop👌

[@elinebelle5128]

"Taemin be so dark and deep with it" 🙄 exactly what i watched the MV i was shookeeth

[@annalisebluhm6765]

Taemin is the King of Kpop, such an amazing and sexy voice, his dance moves are amazing

[@minnettelanda3417]

This song... This song is soo. PERFECT OMG i can NOT find the WORDS to describe this MAN and his SONGS . . . Goosebumps.... literal goosebumps

[@isabela.616]

"Only he can do it the way he does it." Yup, that's Taemin.

[@larissasilvaferreira9968]

I saw so many scenes that looks like thriller and some iconic MJ's actions that I love it. I was so soft, but it is really clear the conection that Taemin has with the king of pop

[@KathyakaNina]

I guess you can say TaeMinJ is the smoothest criminal of K-pop haha The smooth dance moves in 4:00 reminded me of Thriller 💜

[@Azriellia]

Did I comment on where your reaction to Taemin Idea is, cause..... babay I'm need you to step on that lol. Definitely one of the funniest reactors out there.

[@gaby5254]

I liked this song from the first listen but it has been growing on me beyond the performance. Just as a song. This might be my favorite song from Taemin or at least is up there with Goodbye. I just love it all and it's so catchy.

Yow. This gave me chills and it still do every time I listen to it

[@MellowMochi]

Hey Bris, Not really related to the video but I’m relatively new to the bris gang and I just wanted to let you know that your videos have really gotten me back into kpop and the Korean culture and I really love and appreciate everything you’ve done. I also love your kpop throwbacks since I grew up with “old school” kpop so please keep them coming! You should do a reaction to SHINee- Replay if you haven’t already listened to it. It was their debut song and people say it’s the one of the best debut songs from a kpop group. But keep up the good work and stay safe out there! Thank you for all that you do for us!

[@kacicodes]

I have been waiting for this! Thank you!! I am so happy to hear your positive and really great comments about Taemin and the music video. He worked really hard on it and I completely agree, he has a signature that is just so Taemin that no one else can do. Thank you so much again, I really appreciate you taking the time to do a reaction video to Taemin! \o/

Taemin’s style of music is one of a kind. Something that’s on the dark kinda side but have a deep meaning to it. It’s not just a song. Even the production itself.

As Taemin has discussed, this song is about the STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. What a great piece of art!

I love this reaction movie! good! :)

[@elegancebeauty3705]

Taemin's really full package.

[@kmkniu1869]

I f*cking LOVE him like this! This is my *favorite* Taemin; "Danger", "Want", "Guess Who". These dark, edgy. erotic themes that only he can convincingly pull off. And @BRISxLIFE , love, I'm an OG MJ fan, but I don't think we can really compare them anymore. Taemin is a more accomplished dancer (more genres), a better actor (mv), is less problematic, and a lot of other things. I feel like we undermine his originality and hard work when we put him under that MJ umbrella

[@HaileyAngele08]

kmkniu THIS

[@zoecooke4082]

Taemin himself is HONORED to consider himself a sort of MJ protégé. He has studied not only MJ's dancing but his facial expressions, stage presence, relationship with gender ambiguity and even separation between personal life and stage persona (taemin is also quite shy IRL). I don't think it's at all insulting to put Taemin under the "MJ umbrella", because artistically, there are only maybe 2 or 3 others who join him there. Genius recognizes genius; Quincy Jones created the zeitgeist with MJ's sonic storytelling, just as SM and Taemin are trying to expand what k-pop can be and sound like in this era. It isn't an insult. It's recognizing someone successfully standing on the shoulder of a giant and not in their shadow, which is no easy feat.

[@kmkniu1869]

@@zoecooke4082 hold up. I did not say insult. I am fully aware of everything in your essay. AGAIN, since you seem to have missed my point, I think Taemin has become his own person, with his own style, his own identity as an artist and deserves to be recognized as such without having his name always uttered in conjunction with MJ. I could explain in more depth, but would you listen objectively?

[@kmkniu1869]

@Holly Hilt I'm 53. I was there from the beginning. The first album I bought was The Jackson 5's Greatest Hits. I coached MJ impersonators in dance during the Thriller era. So your little dig at me, meaningless. I do not disagree with anything you said. I do think you misunderstood what /I/ said. I never said the comparison was an /insult/. I think Taemin has become his own person, with his own style, his own identity as an artist and deserves to be recognized as such without having his name always uttered in conjunction with MJ. I could explain in more depth, but would you listen objectively?

[@wo0yos]

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVES GUESS WHO I never skip it, it truly never gets old

[@Auntie67]

I am in love with his whole album, it’s a masterpiece! The song Strangers reminds me somehow oh MJ’s Stranger in Moscow, Clockwork is so poetic and idk, has some Björk vibe in a way???? His vocals are breathtaking!!! I hope you will check out the whole album!!!

[@batmanfan20101]

I hope Taemin hears you call him the MJ of Kpop bc that would make him so happy!! He had always been inspired by MJ's music and style.

Yayyy was looking forward to your reaction video to Criminal!! He’s also supposed to release another album that’s essentially a sequel to this one (Act 1), called “Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 2” - no dates on when it’ll be released but I’m guessing probably early to mid October? Hope you’ll check out the MV for Act 2 too! Also folks to haven’t watched the actual Criminal yet: PLEASE GO AND WATCH IT!
