Taemin is ART

[@milindawilson9175]

Prior to becoming a trainee at the age of 11, Taemin had no formal dance training. He started out as a self-taught popper and locker who learned to dance by copying dancers on TV, and, even then, as a trainee it was clear his skills as a dancer went far beyond the average dancer. He said he thought dancers like Kpop solo artist Bi Rain and Michael Jackson were cool, so he would try and copy their moves. He debuted as the main dancer of SHINee in 2008 at the age of 14 -- so he had about 3 years of training as a dancer once he became a trainee. Therefore, most of what you see is just natural talent and an unbelievable amount of dedication. Taemin has put in a lot of effort to become the magnificent and unique performer and person that we know him as today. But there really is no one that pushes him or holds him to a higher standard than himself. He has said that he really has never taken a true vacation since he was a trainee and he doesn't know what to do if he isn't constantly working and training. It's said that if Taemin's dance looks easy then it's actually really difficult and if it looks extremely difficult then it's even harder than you imagine. No one moves the way he does and even his backup dancers struggle to keep up with him. Choreographers say he is constantly asking them to make the choreography more difficult and he is never satisfied until the difficulty level is off the charts. As Taemin has said, there has never been anything that has come easy to him and he has only gotten to where he is today because he has worked hard to accomplish everything. He is constantly pushing himself to become the best of the best in everything he does. Taemin has said, he has worked his entire career to create a style of dance that is unlike anything in the Kpop industry. And I would argue that that now extends to the entire industry of dance. He's also one of the only idols who have debuted in 3 different Kpop generations -- second generation with SHINee in 2008, third generation as a solo artist in 2014 and now fourth generation as a member of SuperM in 2019. You should watch some of Taemin's concert documentaries to see just how hard he trains and works. If you search KZbin you will find 2 or 3 from his solo concerts, as well as documentaries/behind the scenes of SHINee's concerts.

Taemin has 10 years as a soloist. His discography is pretty vast. His individual music is a stark difference from his work with SHINee.

[@I-love-Bts]

Taemin always shines in his solo work! He’s honestly incredible, a true icon of Kpop! You guys need to check out his other songs - Advice, Criminal, IFEA, Want and Move are a must!

[@milindawilson9175]

Taemin has been in the industry for more than 15 years as part of the legendary 5-member Kpop group SHINee and he has been a solo artist since 2014. "Guilty" is his title track on his 4th mini Korean solo album. I think "Guilty" is a continuation of the themes surrounding Taemin's previous releases. Particularly connected to his Never Gonna Dance Again trilogy of albums -- "2 Kids", "Criminal" and "Idea" -- and Advice album themes. As Taemin has explained, "Guilty" is about a lover who DOESN'T feel guilty about all the bad things they have done in the relationship and they feel no shame or remorse for the pain and suffering they may have caused the other person. Which, if you connect it to the messages from his previous MVs, this easily could be interpreted as a metaphor for everything Taemin has gone through in his career and life. As an idol, he has been manipulated and controlled his whole life. Debuting at 14 years old, Taemin has lived his entire life in the public eye under a microscope, he is expected to be flawless and perfect, and people are constantly telling him what to do and how he should act, etc. However, now that he has turned 30, I think he is embracing a new chapter in his life where he is saying he is no longer going to allow people to manipulate him and he is officially taking back control. In other words, he's not going to feel guilty any more for being himself and doing what makes him happy. With Taemin -- and all the members of SHINee -- you will never get the same thing twice. Everything he releases will be a new style and sound and, yet, it will still be very "Taemin". As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, SHINee are meant to be the first to do almost everything, and they are expected to come up with something new that no one has ever seen or heard before with every release of theirs. As Kpop's trendsetters, the members of SHINee reinvent the industry with every comeback. Taemin is the main dancer and a main vocalist of SHINee. However, because Taemin is a member of SHINee, this means he can do it all. SHINee are known for the fact that there are no longer any fixed roles in their group, the main vocalists can rap and the rappers can fill in as main vocalists at any moment. However, what they are really recognized for is the fact that they are one of the best vocal groups to ever exist. All of the SHINee members are top tier singers and dancers. You may find this hard to believe, but when Taemin debuted as a member of SHINee way back in 2008, he didn't have a whole lot of lines in their songs. People even used to make fun of Taemin's singing and they would say that he was tone deaf and couldn't sing. However, it's sort of a misconception that Taemin "couldn't sing." it wasn't that he couldn't sing, it was just that he debuted when he was so young -- he was only 14 years old -- that his voice hadn't really developed yet and he didn't really have a good grasp of how to use his voice and produce the sounds he wanted with it. So, in the beginning, when he sang, he was often flat or his voice cracked or he was off key or out of tune, etc. And because he was being compared to the other members of SHINee who are all 2 to 4 years older than him, and the other members had such phenomenal voices to start out with, it really made Taemin sound like he was lacking. (SHINee are considered THE premier vocal group that everyone dreams of being as good as.) That's why in SHINee's first few songs Taemin only has a few lines, and most of the time he was just given big solo dance breaks to fill the stage at his parts in the song. However, if he was really tone deaf, he never would have become an SM Idol trainee -- SM would have put him on the dance track and probably steered him toward becoming a backup dancer -- and he definitely would have never become the amazing singer that he is today. As you probably know, someone who is truly tone deaf is physically unable to hear the difference in the notes and is unable to carry a tune. Taemin is considered one of the greatest dancers of all time. He has literally been voted one of the top two BEST dancers in all of Kpop by his peers and industry experts. (Kai from EXO -- who happens to be Taemin's best friend since trainee days, and a fellow member of the Kpop supergroup SuperM -- is the other top dancer.) That is why he has been nicknamed the Korean Michael Jackson. Literally everyone in the Kpop industry looks up to Taemin and idolizes him. But Taemin really wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't just a dancer, so he spent a lot of extra time concentrating on vocal lessons and the other SHINee members -- especially Onew and Jonghyun (two of the best vocalists in the industry) -- spent some serious time coaching and mentoring him until he learned what it took to match their vocal range and to use his voice. (For the first year or more after SHINee's debut Taemin spent hours in vocal lessons and he would push himself every day until his nose would bleed because he was so tired and worn out, etc. He practically lived in the training rooms at SM Entertainment.) The ONLY thing the members of SHINee are not good at is lip syncing, so Taemin, and all the members of SHINee, have specifically trained since their debut, to build stamina and endurance, in order to be able to sing live for 3+ hours straight in concert, all while performing these intense choreographies and still sound flawless. When you watch a live performance, you may be shocked because Taemin and SHINee sound so perfect live even though they are dancing so intensely, but that is why they are so highly respected by everyone. It's a running joke between fans and the members that you can tell when SHINee are lip syncing because they are so bad at it, that is why they avoid it at all costs. Therefore, when you hear SHINee sing, 95% of the time it will be live. Yes, over the years they have become better at lip syncing than 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, what you will hear is live vocals. Other Idols and audio sound technicians, etc. who have witnessed the SHINee members performing live are always blown away, because in the parts of the song where most singers would take a break and rely on the backing track vocals to cover their voices so they can catch their breath and recover, this is where the SHINee members actually ramp it up and become their most powerful. Therefore, in Taemin's live performance you will discover that he sounds even better than in the recorded version, all while dancing full out. What makes SHINee so great is that even if they are singing a cappella while performing this high energy choreography, they sound just as amazing. That's why, even as rookies, senior artists would stop what they were doing to watch SHINee's rehearsals on music programs because SHINee's vocal talent is that impressive. When SHINee debuted, they were the first group to demonstrate how it was possible to sing live while performing complex choreography and still maintain stable vocals. Before SHINee, the thought within the industry was that it wasn't possible to sing live and also perform high intensity choreography at the same time. At that time, most groups would either sing live and have simple choreography, or they would have crazy cool choreography, but lip sync to their recorded vocals. SHINee completely changed the Kpop industry and upped the standard of what it meant to be an idol singer. Taemin -- and SHINee -- live is unmatched. It's literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard that all other groups strive to reach, and SHINee are the vocalists that all other artists try to emulate. Taemin has released at least one song or album -- most of the time way more than just one -- as part of SHINee, as a member of a project group, as a solo artist or as a member of SuperM every year since SHINee's debut. (Except for the past two years because he was on hiatus while he carried out his public service duties as part of his military requirements.) Therefore, including his full-length albums, mini albums, and singles, etc., as well as his Japanese albums, Taemin has more than a dozen solo albums. Not to mention the 2 albums he has as a member of SuperM. And on top of all that, SHINee currently has 14 full-length Korean and Japanese albums, just as many repackaged albums, numerous mini albums, etc. Plus he has held many solo concert tours, as well as a world tour as a member of SuperM, and SHINee has held more than 100 concerts within 6 world tours so far. You have a TON to catch up on. :D Now you need to check out Taemin's Killing Voice performance. I have a feeling when you watch his Killing Voice you will find that hearing him sing "Guilty," as well as his other songs, live that you will be even more impressed. Plus, you need to see one of his live performances of "Guilty" to see the complete choreography. There is a reason why Taemin is like none other.

[@fuuchan27]

[@g-malaigo1155]

All these recommendations are PERFECTION 🎤🔥💥🎙

[@shuesbaanh]

THE KING OF KPOP!!! Taemin is by far the best dancer in kpop and also the best and most creative male soloist. I don't know if you guys have ever done album reactions before (or if you would even be willing) , but if haven't (or do) you gotta react to taemins solo discography. I would recommend you start at the very beginning with his first ever solo album "ACE", and then work your way up to his most recent album "GUILTY" (which is the album this song comes off of)!! Love the reaction and would love to see the "ACE" album reaction next!! 💛

[@shanbeauty4193]

Congratulations Taemin, on winning best solo male performer for the year 🎊🎊🎊

[@Namelesssjade]

Taemin is like the best soloist, he’s got a lot of songs that are in this genre. One of my favorite songs of his is Danger

[@mashitaali8481]

Taemin is freaking talented artist. I am on my knee when I watched this for the first time.Thank you for your reaction. 😉

[@ninawilliams5676]

Taemins music is just on another level period. I LOVE everything he has put out they are earth shattering. Please advice by taemin next. Thank you so much for such a great reaction. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ShawolOT5]

💎 What can we say other than THE KING IS BACK!? I absolutely love how deep Taemin’s songs and MVs are…they aren’t just entertainment or for clicks/views, but he tells a story. He wants to make people THINK and question and reflect. This isn’t something one can watch and then move on. His concepts are intellectual and personal. 💎 Regarding the song itself, his haunting whispers with the beautiful runs on top give me chills…the rap section was unexpected, but fit perfectly and suited the song more than I’d have imagined. I loved how the song switched gears in unexpected ways…there are certain formulas that most kpop songs follow, but this moved in ways I’d never imagined it would and it’s perfect. 💎 As far as the choreography…holy freaking moly. I KNEW it would blow my mind…of course it would-it’s Taemin! With that said, I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t some of his best work to date. It’s provocative without being slutty. Not only that, but you can SEE him being jerked around without any hands on him at all. Around the tenth time watching the video, I happened to notice some of what the background dancers were doing (it’s hard to peel my eyes from Taemin!). There are some genius moves that add to the overall look of the stage…some possibly inspired by breakdancing and some quite acrobatic. I STRONGLY suggest watching the Studio Choom and/or some (ALL) the live performances because the choreo is spectacular. The hips, the abs, the arms, the hands…HIS EYES & LIPS ~~ pure perfection. 💎 All I can really say besides the King has returned is, if loving Taemin is a crime, I’m “G-U-I-L-T-Y … Who's gonna punish me?” 💎

[@aniejinki7553]

Every SHINee members have their own solo album❤❤❤ACE,BASE,FACE,VOICE and CHASE 😍😍😍Their first soloist album..

[@enlightened-jammer]

Congratulations for discovering Taemin! I've been a well-paid music pro for years, and to me the K-POP space is divided into Before And After Taemin. After Taemin, and after you deep dived into at 3 of his title songs back to back, you may consider yourself a true K-POP initiate. So congrats!

[@Okami-jq4hm]

YYEEEAAAH TAEMIN !!!!!! pls also react to his killing voice !!!!his vocals are AMAZING🥰and his dance practices too ! he's the best dancer !! he has sooo many songs, but there's some : advice ! criminal, black rose, idea......🥰 love y'all

[@universe986]

thank you so much for reacting to Taemin! i'm glad you enjoyed his work, hope you can check some more songs by him, apart from his 15 years career with SHINee he's been a solo artist for 9 years now and inspired a lot of 3rd and 4th gen idols to become idols in the first place. for starters 'Advice', 'Criminal' are a must to check out all SHINee members have amazing solos too, some of their absolute best in terms of title tracks imo: Key - Bad Love Onew - Circle Jonghyun - She Is Minho - Chase

Le sugiero q reaccionen a Taemin, considerado como el idol de idolos tiene una discografia increible, una vez q la descubran no podras dejar de admirarlo y respetarlo como uno de los mejores solistas de kpop, para mi el mejor por su versatilidad, amen de su danza, su voz melodiosa y poderosa, pero lo q mas me atrae es ver sus presentaciones, no puedo describir lo q siento o cuanto disfruto verlo, le sugiero vean tambien sus conciertos, no se decepcionaran. Taemin es un artista, sus MV son considerados por expertos obras magistrales. Es iconico, es leyenda, es Arte.

[@jannyjanecornejo6853]

THEE Lee Taemin, a god tier majestic ARTIST 👑💯💎 Same with his amazing legendary group SHINee. All 5 SHINee members are amazing top notch soloists. Subscribed for more Taemin and SHINee video reactions. Please react to Taemin's other MVs and dance practice videos - Advice, Criminal, Idea, Want, Move, Famous and his debut song Danger. Please also check out SHINee's JUICE performance video and other MVs - Don't Call Me, Atlantis, The Feeling, their 2008 debut song Replay. Also other member's solo MVs, Onew's Dice, Circle & Blue MVs, Key's Bad Love, Gasoline & Killer MVs, Minho's Heartbreak, Chase & I'm Home MVs and Jonghyun's Shinin', Crazy and Lonely MVs. That's it for now, just so not to overwhelm you. Sooo many recommendations to follow....

[@MyAmru]

Yes.. SHINee got more..a lot more... It's the first active group from which a member went solo in sm... Also the first group from where every member went solo and have their own albums and hold fanmeets and concerts... It's a group of extremely talented 5 people and still when they come together they somehow make it work even better❤

[@valoriec]

I recommend his MVs "Want" and "Move" and "Criminal", but they're all good. He's my favorite solo artist of all time.

[@Saddlemomma]

Ohhhhh, there is a plethora of solo stuff to explore from each SHINee member. As with many of Taemin's solos, this song is conveying A LOT, specifically Taemin's internal struggle regarding the boundary between good and evil that he is constantly treading while being a celebrity. Some things you need to always think about when interpreting Taemin's lyrics: 1) The simplest explanation is NOT the true interpretation (opposite from the philosophical argument of Occam's razor). 2) Taemin is both a devout Catholic and deeply into philosophy; he regularly explores various world philosophies. 3) Many of Taemin's lyrics are directed inward to his psyche and history, spanning a storyline illustrating different philosophies as his concepts for each song. 4) Taemin uses those philosophies, along with religious symbolism, metaphors, and allusions, to illustrate their conflict with his Christian faith. So, when putting all that together, we need to look at all the details to figure out the deeper, true meaning behind the surface reading of the lyrics. In short, this is not about a toxic relationship between a couple as a simple reading of the lyrics may indicate. It's in fact the continuation of his struggle between the the two egos in his mind: the demon tempting him with the perks of his celebrity life clashing with his Christian beliefs desiring to adhere to his Christian worldview. As Taemin has indicated, this story of his personal conflicts also plays out in his MVs/songs for "Want", "Famous", "Criminal", "IDEA" (in fact the entire "Never Gonna Dance Again" Acts 1 & 2 albums), and "Advice". For this particular song/MV, Taemin indicated that he researched both "Demian" by Hermann Hesse and "Eroticism: Death and Sensuality" by Georges Bataille, a French philosopher. His concept is that of guilt and how humans process their guilt. For Taemin, this is displayed through the character he plays of Abraxas (depicted wearing a headdress; gnostic demigod of a heretical sect, the Basilides, later referred to as a demon). However, Taemin also plays the character of himself being tormented by this demon who constantly plagues him. The entire song is a dialogue between Abraxas and Taemin. During the dialogue, Taemin is struggling (the choreo) to fight off being possessed and swallowed by Abraxas. We see Taemin walking through institutions of his memory such as a school (which, as an introvert, he hated), hospital/mental institution (brainwashing), and training center (SM?), always being controlled and in situations that produce temptations to go against his values. If he is not constantly vigilant, "....when you've caught on (Abraxas), I'm already gone (Taemin)." In other words, he will lose himself instantly because the temptations are so appealing and addictive. The "poison apple" is the bait, (just like in "Want") ..."want a bite?" "Just a little more, that's all it takes." "Gift you once as a bait, then I (Abraxas) take everything." The demon is the father of lies. The pre-chorus and chorus are actually further dialogue between Taemin (pre-chorus) and Abraxas (chorus): [Pre-chorus] Ooh-ooh (On that vague border between good and bad) You played the fool for me (My judgment in the final moment) [Chorus] Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y Trick and take everything from you Again, just playing a game all for fun Hundreds of lies Ooh yeah Taemin is a genius when it comes to interweaving layers of meanings into his lyrics and leaving us spellbound, trying to arrive at the deepest view into his psyche. This is why he is the ultimate artist for me. While his dancing entrances and captivates me as no other, it's his lyrical and musical prowess that truly holds me spellbound, while also gratifying my desire for deeper, meaningful Christian messaging that is lacking in regular, Western Christian music. Thanks for reacting to our shining SHINee Taemin!

Guys Jungkooks first solo concert was yesterday it was so amazing I would love to see your reaction to it💜🌟he performed his album and it was emotional at the end too

[@BlueNightShineeWorld25508]

Check out each members solo album discography Taemins, Jonghyuns, key, Onew and minho. In this order. In case your wondering about how high Taemin can sing he's known to hit the high c# sharp note. Jonghyun could hit high g or e sharp. Onew has the unbroken record for the longest note. Key can also hit those high note but he can also hit the very low baritone notes too. An though you never hear Minho song a high note he can hit a high note ( check out sing your song ) for his high note. And ( like a fire) for key's really high note. Any questions feel free to ask

[@BlueNightShineeWorld25508]

Check out the whole album guilty. But if you wanna see a handcuffed Taemin. Check out the live performance with Jonghyun on internet war. Taemin was 16 when he did that and his hyung was 19 I think. I think you'll like it. It was controversial at the time for shinee members to do especially since Korea has issues with the lgbq communities. Please do so more Taemin and Shinee

[@universe986]

Taemin was 19, not 16. it was in 2012. it wasn't controversial because of lgbtq, more like because Taemin had an innocent image at that time and fans didn't like the change. also pretty weird suggestion for someone who just got into Taemin's music i would say

[@raesnest]

@@universe986 People were definitely also being homophobic about it. It was a combination of outrage. I def agree with you that IW is not the right suggestion for the first foray into SHINee content. To appreciate the IW performance with respect to what it meant to Taemin and Jonghyun you have to understand SHINee more first, imo.

[@universe986]

​@@raesnestyeah i think you're right, i just remembered that it was mostly because of a big shift in Taemin's image and 'bad influence' of Jonghyun, but yeah the interaction was also a bit too much for some

[@shuesbaanh]

Now why are you recommending Internet war when they just got into shinee? 😭

[@Francesco-vj5js]

"Internet War" is too maniacal to normally recommend🤔 It's good to watch personally, but I don't think it's suitable for reaction videos.
