Nini Bear887 Yeah they all trained together and if I remember correctly Timoteo was rumored to debut with Taemin in SHINee but it didn’t happen and later with Kai in EXO but that also didn’t happen so afterwards he left SM.

"Instead of criticizing me, he always waited for me silently." the people in the comments surely know how Timoteo / Moonkyu is so close to Taemin and Jongin, they literally grew up together and had the same dreams.

[@kaechan19]

Taemin never ever cry a lot, even when he is sad, so it surprised me a lot hearing him sobbing like that, makes me wanna hug him

[@abishruth]

I agree. He is the maknae in Shinee but he is the strongest one to hold back his tears even during the passing of one of his hyungs. I watched their Japan concert as just 4 and his brothers teared up but he didn't.

Taemin made me cry while watching this

[@vaishnavivrao6372]

I think he’s crying because he knows both of them probably worked just as hard and it is just that tad bit of luck that made such a difference in their careers. And knowing that his friend is still working on his dream no matter what..... phew~~~~ it’s so heartbreaking...

[@bunnysenpaimon6742]

Yeah, you expressed it perfectly. It's unfortunate how chance determines so much of our lives rather than our own efforts. While effort still does come into play, the biggest parts of our lives are often left to luck.

it wasn't luck, Taemin is simply far more talented

[@Shiragami0981]

Ruby Rz if ALL people know about their relationship and really supported them in the first place they wouldn't have to come for a survival programm TWICE. Please don't take advantage of our fandom who is doing our job supporting them as HOTSHOT and their friendship to doubt their hardwork and hardship all HOTSHOT members are going through.

[@rubyza0507]

Mary Le no i mean hard work yes he did really hard but not to mention he did have that friend connection as one of the way to get through.. no worry he is awesome the way they are, just in my eyes that what i thought.. i am a fan of taehyun as well,

[@HilaryCocciola]

Ruby Rz I agree. The fact that Taemin was the mentor in this program might have helped him to be casted. I'm not a fan of Hotshot but it's sad seeing them like that. I mean Jimin, Kai, Taemin are among the most successful idols nowdays, therefore seeing your friends achieving that goal must be very hard. Also judging his friend must be very unpleasant and uncomfortable for Taeminnie as well

[@riahlexington]

Passed an audition right??? I read that wrong...

[@daddyfreud3184]

I really admire Taemin.. He didn't forgot to comment something on the other guy.. I easily cry when one of my faves cried, he don't usually cry but he still cried, Timoteo is really important on his life.

[@rumachintapalli4516]

He felt sad since it was his best friend. But in the end when it comes to feedback, without any second thought he gave it away straight forward. That is the real professionalism. He didn't gave any false hopes to his friend however gave honest feedback. I once again realised by watching taemin that whatever we do in our lives,we need to give our 100% efforts then we can become successful. Definitely, taemin represented that.

[@hi_rr4093]

Who's Taemin?

[@Joee003]

@@arissacastillo338 I feel like younmight be kidding but I'll answer anyway. Taemin is the guy crying with the striped shirt. He is the maknae of the amazingly popular k-pop group SHINee. He's also a very successful solo artist and arguably one of the top 3 dancers in k-pop history. He is amazingly popular and hard-working, incredibly talented, and also very sensitive and supportive towards his friends and loved ones. His usual personality is very shy, but savage, and he usually makes everything into a joke, so seeing him cry is hard.

[@jadeveroniqueyap7422]

Taemin has a big heart. He really has. Even though he became one of Korea's greatest artist, he never fails to forget his friends who was with him ever since. I think the reason why he cried when he saw Moonkyu on stage was because he remembered the hardships and failures of his friend. He was there when Moonkyu had a hard time in some things. Moonkyu was a former trainee of SM ENTERTAINMENT and was supposed to debut with EXO but for some reasons he left the agency and created his own name. He is great friends with Kai and Taemin. I love this side of Lee Taemin. Really. I cried when I heard his message for his friend. ❤❤❤❤

Ok. I just discovered Taemin it has been like 3 days... I have known kpop for 8 years... I have slept under a rock..Just how in the world is someone so talented and by that i mean that he is with no doupt the best dancer in kpop. I had to look for only one MV to prove that to myself. And not only that,- the visuals, the VOICE it's so seductive and AMAZING. You know when you watch someone and you dont blink and breathe. I am so happy that people are appreciating him. Maybe he is not no the most mainstream artist in the world but people will recognize his talent by time like I did after all this years. And yes I know he is big in Korea, and i believe that each and every one of those idols no matter how big they are feel the same way like i do, and can only put a red carpet in front of him. U can't denie this talent .Thank you Taemin. And you have a big heart too.

Entertainment industry is so cruel..😭😭

[@ivyramos6174]

[@ticketingrania9688]

So true

[@auraacqua9434]

shafaq kamran He wasn't born with a pretty face like Taemin and Kai. It's cruel but is half way to success sadly. I think they style him too badly. He will never work with this styling. His looks would look better with more "troubled rebel skinny byunshin" look. Like ripped jeans, wife beaters, shorter and messy hair with some "troublemaker" vibes. He is not pretty. Sad to say that but this differs him from his friends and he needs to find his best looks and angles (and stop smoking because it's noticeable) to favor him better. There is no charisma in his performances too. He "just" dance well. but looks totally without personality. I don't know if it's because he is insecure but there is youtube dance covers of Kokobop (in this case) far much better than his performance. Idols are brands. Walking brands. Sad but that's what it is. Unless you're from Bangtan, you can't count with a sea of teenagers looking at you as good looking even if you're not pretty.

taemin is the kindest,the sweetest,the cutest boy in the world i don't know how some people can hate him💔

[@yeoboseyonoona]

Same. That's why we find it hard to understand what people think!

[@katarina_marsel_alicia]

They are very jealous of his talent, angry that their favorite idols cannot surpass Taemin. They know he's a great dancer and vocalist and an art maker, not just an artisan who writes popular, ordinary songs that will be forgotten in a year 1-2

[@katarina_marsel_alicia]

There are a lot of toxic people who hate bright, kind and talented people. They want to destroy, it gives them pleasure. They don’t seem so from life, they are insignificant, realizing that they hurt such a great artist. these are people with a personality disorder: narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths, borderline disorder, abusers, manipulators. Such people always poison and bring other people to depression.

[@Gogoslittlesister]

PLEASE stan my boys from Hotshot, theyre so talented and it BREAKS MY HEART to know that they'll disband or just fade out of existence eventually.

[@derriemoon9979]

They didn't yet right ? What happened arter sungwoon left ?

derrie moon i think sungwoon didn’t left the group but he is just working with his solo currently

Yes! So many good groupsthat went unnoticed and faded away, I don't want hotshot to fade too

[@hananhashem4487]

This made me realise. Some good people landed on some bad condition/company.. so i guess it takes their courses thus it happened like this.. a friend is struggling & another just boosted to fame when they started at the same time, on the same track...

That's true that why taemin and kai is supporting timoteo

That is painful at a very different level.

[@Wevar.Lavender]

The way he cried shows how sincere he was. Such a pure soul ❤️

[@jerichaa.8268]

I was literally in tears seeing Timoteo perform Kai's song and performing it in front of Taemin. Their friendship is truly genuine and I am so happy that they are really good friends until now.

[@evelynaguayo4538]

Knowing that this was posted just 5 days before Jonghyun comitted suicide and taemin saying, "I don't usually cry" Made me cry so much😭😭

[@aleynasamurkas1216]

Omg noooooo I just read the comments and watched the video. I'm crying this is so sad

Who’s jonghyun....

[@femboywonho8637]

Kawaii Squishy he was the leader I believe of shinee. He killed himself december 17 2017 through carbon monoxide poisoning. The stress of the industry became too much for him but we still see him shining bright

[@snowkey9515]

I’m not Taemin’s fan but I still cry because he is crying like a baby

[@neomuneochicken4585]

it hurts, even more, to know that he never cries like this (at least not in front of people/cameras), he usually can contain himself and is really good at controlling his emotions. This was a couple days before Kim Jonghyun's death. I don't want to imagine how much he must've cried then.

[@user-yg4ym6ez6w]

Пожалуйста спереводам

[@hintmustard6145]

Taemin didn't say that his bestfriend would be perform because, taemin surely wants his bestfriend to recognize by hiw talents not because, he's bestftiend of taemin. 🥺❤️ They way taemin's cry you felt his unconditional libe for his friend😭🥺❤️

[@kvgurii]

“a lot of people said that we were a failure.” i lost my shit. i’m crying now.

[@maypark9727]

It's not that these idols aren't talented, it's their companies who don't go the extra miles for them. Which is sad.

[@introvertedwinetothewine7054]

Taemin's smile is really something. It is like water.

[@bevnewyork1575]

It’s 5:24 am. I came across this video and cried along with Taemin. He is beautiful inside and out. Love his sweet smile.

[@ImEma93]

Very precious, beautiful friendship. Tae Min and Kai didn't forget his friend. This is we called friendship im so proud with them. They make me cry and miss my childhood friends. But, I'm lucky that my childhood friends still with me.

[@aerigom7902]

Choi Ra Yoon Woollim Stan I hope to achieve that friendship level

[@adoontialle8361]

Good

[@Auditore.da.Firenze]

i can totally understand Timoteo. you have to work so hard for your dream on becoming singer, especially in k-pop music industry, and i think reason why Taemin couldn't hold his tears was because he knows how hard it is to reach it, and he genuinely wanted his friend to reach it with him. these videos always makes me emotional

[@gomlix]

Taemin, Kai and Timoteo is been together for decades their friendship is amazing😭💖 they support each other,make friends with others and now kai taemin timoteo Ravi sungwoon jimin and the other one PADDING SQUAD💖✨

[@ananastasja]

I started crying as soon I saw Taemin getting emotional I swear he's the sweetest angel ever

[@uncreativename4249]

When he was professionally evaluating Timoteo, the way he spoke was definitely more like a friend poking fun at another friend. This video is so sweet. 1:38 The is the purest 'you're a dork, why do I love you' face I've ever seen.

[@luname2356]

"You should work harder!" Yeah that's our Taemin😅

After watching taemin's realty programme "rare taem" epi 4, this was on my suggestions again. how many times i watch im crying on this. why am i crying so hard after watching.. May be coz taemin rarely cries and it's painful to watch, also seeing their strong friendship making me emotional.

[@luyu5577]

TAEMIN SEE HIS FRIEND..... AND HE IS CRY😢😢😢 THEIR FRIENDSHIP❤❤❤

[@claffordmusic5996]

Knowing Timoteo is still fighting for his dream after all this time and struggle while watching his friends being succesful make me respect him so much. He's incredibly strong and I hope the show brings HotShot the attention they deserve because that's some fierce determimation right there.

No need to apologise I mean your tears were heart felt tears for a very dear friend that's understandable to know you've walked beside him all these years through out his life during his ups & downs & he got there on his own merits you kept this friendship from the other judges so that they'd be judged fairly that's amazing such a powerful moment. God bless you Taemin💞
