Jonghyun and Taemin love rock and hard rock. Taemin also has a cover of Korn out there. Korn is probably Taemin's favorite rock band given that he constantly is recommending them to his fans. There's another version of "Internet War" cover where Taemin is in more of a punk rock fit and Jonghyun has blonde hair that's very nice. The song is originally by Seo Taiji and the Boys but this cover is so iconic that it has become one of the seminal performances. Speaking of the Gay Agenda TM, there was actually pretty intense, homophobic backlash against Jonghyun and Taemin for this performance. Mostly among knetizens. There were petitions to have the boys banned or even thrown out of the group. There was this idea that Jonghyun was corrupting "innocent" Taemin. Of course, anyone with eyes and any real knowledge of Taemin would know that this performance is right up his alley and was exactly the kind of thing he would want to do in 2012 as part of shaping his identity as an artist. Jonghyun simply responded to criticism by changing his profile picture to the image of them with their cuffed hands raised at the end of the performance.

There is no better answer for haters than this one! Jjong was a genius!

[@chimoshishifu407]

Jonghyun always had the best response to haters. I love my Ultimate of Ults still, no one will ever replace him in my heart. He was always so supportive.

[@SeleneLedezma]

The amount of fanfiction that came out of this performance lol

[@nancygalani6112]

Jonghyuns tattoos are the names of his fan clubs he painted it on his body for this concert.... He had actual tattoos which were titles of his albums or the logos of his albums...

Fun fact: they performed this in three different concert that were filmed for DVD (Shinee world 2, Japanese arena tour and SMTOWN 2012) and yet this stage never made it onto any of the DVDs. I'm guessing SM were worried they'd get a 19 rating 😅

Internet War was the confirmation that I had made the right decision to be a Shawol. Thank you so much for your reaction and analysis. And thank you forever Taemin and Jonghyun for educating the children!

'FEEDING THE CHILDREN' HILARIOUS

[@milindawilson9175]

This performance of "internet War" is a cover of a song by a well know first generation artist. This was a special stage during this concert tour and Jonghyun and Taemin never did any other performances or recordings of this song. Unfortunately, the only audio recording you are going to find of this song may be the original artists singing the song. No none of Jonghyun's tattoos in this performance were real, they are just words and phrases that were drawn on for this performance. However, Jonghyun did have one or two real tattoos. This performance is from SHINee's SHINee World Concert II (SWC2) from 2012, so Taemin is about 18 years old here. At the time, Jonghyun's and Taemin's performance was super controversial and they got a lot of backlash from the public for the underlying LGBTQ undertones of their performance. with Korea's conservative society, the mainstream public thought this performance was unbecoming of an idol and there were even some people that thought Jonghyun and Taemin should be kicked out of the group because of it. (Which is one reason why this was the only performance and why there are only fancam videos.) However, it didn't phase Jonghyun. In true Jonghyun style, as an answer to all the hate, he changed his online profile picture to a picture of him and Taemin handcuffed together with their arms raised in the air. Next to R&B, rock is one of SHINee's best music styles. They often have rock sections in their concerts and they do a lot of rock remixes of some of their classics. Just search SHINee live rock remix and you will see all the concert performances of songs you have heard, but the songs will sound different because they are done with a rock style. Taemin has performed a lot of songs shirtless in concert. If you want to see him shirtless check out his solo stage performance of "Danger" from their SHINee World Concert 2014 in Japan, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3-xfmecnZyYoaM or his performance of "Door" at his first Japanese solo concert tour, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXaUipKAqbuWmaM, etc. And to see some sexy performances from the other members, check out some of Minho's solo performances in SHINee concerts. In concert during solo performances, Minho often does cover dances to songs, such as Usher's "Oh My Gosh": kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6fJc6drqb6Ziqc, Charlie Puth's "Attention": kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmjIe4driZiqiNE and Chris Brown's "Turn up the Music": kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnXcoKWLl7iiY5Y. You should also check out Jonghyun's live performances of "Moon" in concert, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pavTlHh4hpKdask and his performance of "Hallelujah," kzbin.info/www/bejne/gISVdYugpppnq6M. And, while you are at it, watch Jonghyun's dance practice for "Hallelujah," kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn_UnXmGobN4qKc. As well as, Jonghyun's live performance of "Playboy," kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXPIZ555gqeEm7c. "Playboy" was wrote and composed by Jonghyun, but he ended up giving the song to EXO. So, most people know EXO's version of the song. However, Jonghyun's original version has an even more sultry, sexy R&B vibe when he sings it. And if you really want to see how big of a Lady Gaga fan Key is, check out his cover performance of Lady Gaga's songs "Hair" and "Judas" he did at this same concert that "Internet War" was at, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnUlaCVp6iMpLM. And for a slightly less sexy song, but just as much sass with Key's classic diva, fashionista flare, you should see Key's cover of BoA's song "Look Book" as a solo performance in one of SHINee's concerts, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ-qZZ-Hn6hmaLs. Thanks for taking my suggestions. And I can't wait for your next SHINee reaction. :D

[@brittaneyb3425]

After this, there was HUGE backlash against them. They even made the news. As protest on twitter, jonghyun made that final handcuffed pose his pfp and he has always supported lgbt+ rights publicly.

[@justsammi9285]

This performance kills me every single time because of all the reasons you listed. If you want more Jonghyun sexy shirtless goodness more in the realm of their r&b sound I recommend his love performance of his solo song Moon if you haven't watched it. It was hot and the song is *chefs kiss* one of my favorites by him.

[@sayurioffenborn4960]

Hey , Shinee minho release his first solo album in december. Let’s celebrate this together.

[@toshc.8600]

LOL, I wondered when you'd react to the concert that lauched a million fanfics. 🤣 😆 😂

[@Hanniesamericano]

Can u suggest some I can't find it in Wp

[@Me-yu4nj]

If you like this, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Born To Shine (a live stage by KEY) it is an English song and has some... highly interesting elements!!!!!!! FOR SCIENCE!

[@SeleneLedezma]

This reminds me have you ever seen Key's Born To Shine? 👀

Omg... This brings back memories! I was attending the concert were the clips in the rain is from 😉😍 I had never heard about this song/performance beforehand, so I got completely blown away by surprise and enjoyment. Hehe 😉 I was quite close to the stage 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@jumitsu]

Wow, nice!!

[@chimoshishifu407]

The tatts on Jonghyun are actual his major fansites. This performance was iconic! I used to have a link of Onew, Key & Minho watching this from backstage & they were kinda shocked too. I've seen the open air practice of Internet Wars & it wasn't as hot as the actual performance.

[@SeleneLedezma]

The tattoos on Jonghyun's body are the names of his fansites and they are not real, he did have real tattoos but he got them a few years later

[@jumitsu]

One of the things I like the most about SHINee is that they don't care if they call them gay and keep making art as they think they have to! They are not afraid to be what they are and express themselves as they think they should! On top of all that, they often support minority causes just like LGBTQIA+! BTW, Jonghyun has already stated that he is Taemin's "mother", so I believe that a lot of the influences as an artist that Taemin has today was "learned" from Jjong and the other members. Thank you so much for this reaction 💖💖

[@riaconradt2554]

Rest in peace, Jonghyun.

[@firefly19690]

Thank you so much for your reaction! If you get a chance on your own time, check out other vids of this. There's one where Jonghyun is blonde and Taemin had an obvious growth spurt. I love your reactions (especially SHINee lol) am am absolutely dying for you to react to Key's "Gasoline". I think you will appreciate so much of it! Please, Please, Pretty Please. 🙏🙏 Lol

I don’t know for sure who did it first but didn’t Kim Heechul from Super Junior do “gay” acts during a concert. If I remember correctly he kissed the drummer or something like that.

Amazing video. Thanks for reacting. Just curious. Do you still plan to react to BTOB or were they last month? Also, does anyone know the relationship between the two performers? Fellow members, friends, rivals?

They are in the same group (SHINee) and really good friends/as close as family (their own words).
