Singing like the abuser and dancing like the abused...Idol of Idols indeed! Also, the graphics - especial Taemin wearing Key's clothes lol, I see you Shawol! ♥
Finally Guilty reaction is here! This song has me on a chokehold since it came out. From its vision to the dance to the settings to the vocals, this song is mesmerising and I cannot wait for you all to dig deeper into it. Taemin truly outdid himself in this song, and it remains my favourite song of him ❤
Guilty manages to be heart-gripping even when mistranslated, can you imagine how much more intense when the under-layer is exposed by professionals? Curious cats please go watch GUILTY MV EXPLAINED by Agatho. Try to stay calm throughout. You're welcome!
That's the beauty of this. It actually does show him in a relationship. The relationship is between himself and the demon within him (represented by Taemin wearing the headdress) be it the conflict of his celebrity status and the indulgences & temptations of fame, or remaining true to his Christian worldview), the relationship between him and the industry, or loving what he does despite all the s3xua1ization that goes on within the Kpop world (not to mention his disastrous military service). There is so much to unpack in this MV it's unreal. Taemin has said this is the most personal MV/song he has done. It reveals a lot. It's his last solo MV from SM, and I have to wonder if, on one level, it's a statement to them as well. Now that Taemin is with BPM, you can see he is demonstrably happier and he's finally getting the promotion he has deserved for years. BPM is showing that they value Taemin as an artist.
I feel so conflicted concerning Taemin’s move from SM to BPM. On the one hand, you can see that he’s much more excited about where his career is headed under BPM, but I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with the audio quality of Eternal. It’s still Taemin, but decreased in the quality of both the music video and the audio engineering. If you compare the quality of the mixing of the Guilty album and the Eternal Album, the contrast is rather stark. There’s a muddy quality to the overall sound of Eternal that I found disconcerting. Perhaps it’s a matter of difference in quality of resources between SM and BPM that accounts for it. I don’t know. I just wonder how much better Sexy in the Air would have been had it been produced by SM. I say this as a dyed in the wool fan of Taemin. Am I the only one who feels this way?
@@Vgudorf No you're not the only one. I'm a well-paid pro performer and I'll just say with all their money Hybe can't beat SM's sonic production quality. You're right Eternal mixes are muddier. Another disappointment with BPM: English. SM English have ruined many great songs, NGDA Guilty had serious kpop English issues but BPM took SITA to basement level. Lyrics should flow not turn my favorite kpop vocalist into a joke outside East Asia. Would SITA have been better under SM? Yes. Every kpop LISTENER (vs sexy dance watcher) I know don't like SITA for the chorus verse bridge brainrot lyrics, a few hated the demonic vomit grunts that were supposed to sound sexy. Kenzie (SHINee-loving SM producer) would never approve that demonic vomit grunt in a thousand years. I wanted to sing along to Taemin and I just can't with those Kpop brainrot "English". I despise their hatred for English lyricism, I do. I wish American reactors stop acting Pc about it and call that out cuz I can't deal with another Taemin song burned by shitglish. Adrian Mckinnon and Dem Jointz don't seem to care or dare to veto crap lyrics that completely utterly cheaply destroyed their babies' Billboard hopes. If Taemin is serious about cracking America he should get an English-native-level songwriting partner while he still has the time and clout.
@@VgudorfI agree totally. I think the new music is objectively worse. I’m hoping that we find out it was a one album problem, but the more realistic side of me thinks that where he’s at now just doesn’t have the kind of resources SM has to make music. A 30 piece orchestra is expensive. So are Kenzie and Moonshine, I’d guess.
@@Vgudorf i agree 😭 like despite all of sm's MANY MANY faults, one thing they do very well is training vocals/producing music. you'll rarely see one of their artists come out w a bad song, cuz they're just that good. i thought taemins new album was fine, but def a step down from guilty imo. i do still like some of the production in sita tho
Shawols!!! NEWS BREAK! 6 nominations for Taemin in MAMA award 2024!! GUILTY got THE SONG OF THE YEAR nomination YES YES YES let's build the buzz for GUILTY AGAIN!! Perfect timing from ReacttotheK or is this coordinated 😂or just synchronicity????? LOL
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of Taemin's fantastic song. He always pushes himself to perfect the concept of the song through his styling, dance moves and vocals -- he elicits so many emotions with his performance.
I feel like this clip is a mini-film... about pain, injuries of varying degrees of severity, and even those where minors are. it's scary, shocking and amazing at the same time
When this mini album came out right around Halloween, it was perfect. Had it on repeat for weeks! My favorite Taemin Title track and one of my favorite Kpop albums 🤩
The release of ghis reaction is well-timed cuz I *just* listened to the album for the first time. I put off listening to it cuz I just couldn't move past the NGDA era (a masterpiece). 15:13 puts words to why this song reminded me of the WANT era. There's a tempting feel to it and i wonder if, in some ways, it's calling back that era.
yaaaaay taemin! it's so interesting seeing you break down a song that uses this kind of instrumentation - really loved the workshopping y'all did in the chord progression chapter, that was fascinating
1st. Gen 2 Represent! 2nd. Taemin came out with a masterpiece. From the music to the vocal arrangements and the visual interpretation, it was flawless. It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year. 3rd. He is nominated for 6 MAMA's and "Guilty" is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Now if they let him perform it because no one else has been able to give it justice the way he does it (love Yeonjun, Hyunjin and Jimin but this is Taemin's Magnum Opus as a soloist). It's just his.
YESSSSS, i’ve been waiting for this. Cause i like watching reaction videos but i felt so sad that not a lot of reactors paid much attention to the striiiiinggs on this song. It’s just sooo good
the downside would be the pause after the bridge which seemed needless especially if you watching the live performance which that part was omitted making the song hit harder in live than the mv.
PLUS, that part in the bridge where taemin stops singing and it’s just the strings hnnnghh so good and adds more drama to the song. Srsly, the reason why i prefer to listen to yt cause it’s not included in the song in spotify 🥲
This song is a MASTERPIECE. A show!! It gave me major thriller-christian-horror vibes??? Not even a fan of Taemin, but he always release music that is true to himself and doesn't follow the current trend.
I love the last part when the violin gets higher , right in the second part of that chorus idk if you know what I mean but I’m literally dying to have the whole instrumental at that particular part 😩 from 6:00 to 6:14 AND TILL THE END , I literally cried after hearing 6:14 till the end everything was PERFECT 🤌 ( I listen to guilty with taemin and then I listen to guilty without taemin just the instrumental ) I swim in guilt after listening to all that 😂 ( ua-cam.com/video/cyNkOjCsiVk/v-deo.htmlsi=9x2gUYT6UU7yB0tW ) here’s what I listen to At 2:40 and when it hits at 2:56 and till the end it just gives me what I want to feel when I see the word guilt just throwing my thoughts out here cuz I’m still not over this masterpiece 😔🥀 Have a great time ❤
Re: Kevin's comment on the need for a grittier groove - IMHO Koreans LOVE pretty. Occasionally it gets in the way. English speakers are often full of angry, dirty, scorn, and we expect a full expression of it.. Cf.: Bang Yedam singing Charlie Puth's "Hilairious" - ua-cam.com/video/LYhIl7O6MRg/v-deo.html Yedam just doesn't quite deliver the bitter sarcasm of the song. But, when sweet, pretty tenderness and a wrenching, self-imposed pain are juxtaposed, the effect is just brlliant. Taemin gets this combination right - regularly.

Umu, I appreciate the photo of Taemin breaking into Key's house when they mentioned they love his outfits. 10/10 editing
Andrea, the editor of this video, is very glad so many Shawols are getting her reference!!! She says she's cracking up reading all of your comments

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of Taemin's fantastic song. He always pushes himself to perfect the concept of the song through his styling, dance moves and vocals -- he elicits so many emotions with his performance.

I feel like this clip is a mini-film... about pain, injuries of varying degrees of severity, and even those where minors are. it's scary, shocking and amazing at the same time
