SHINee is really just THAT group where I can get equally as excited for their individual work as I get for their group stuff. And I think because of how solidified they are in the industry and in their individual lanes, their music has become a place of comfort where people can go and just enjoy the art without the extra drama and politics.
Yessss, this is so true! They are each individually so talented and incredible, they are amazing together as a group, and they have been here offering a space of love, art & music for SO many years! THANK YOU, 5HINee!!!!! 🩵💚
I was so happy I found Key last year. Since I'm older, some of his music seemed SO retro 80's to me (my teen years), I lovvvved it. Been working my way backward to SHINee and current day solos of everyone - they are so amazing
YES!! Key has a really great 80s pop sound that I looooove! Enjoy your journey into SHINee - they're one of the older groups I've enjoyed discovering so much! 💚
@@KPopwithKhadija YES! They are so seasoned, such pros at everything, and the discography continues to amaze me as I dive in. Really wish Key (or all of Shinee) would come to USA
As you may remember, Key is SM's director of fashion -- that's his official title -- so all the styling in his "Pleasure Shop" MV was designed and chosen by him. He is known for being able to pull off almost any style and for making even the most ridiculous looking styles on the average person, look cool. That's why he's been styling SHINee's MVs and concert stage looks for years and why he is involved in the entire process for his solo MVs, etc. Key is a true fashionista that clothing designers covet the chance to work with. Plus, the constant changing of looks goes along with the AI concept of the MV, where he is saying, within the realm of the online world, you can lose yourself and become anyone you want to be. "It's a Pleasure Shop" of things that can make you feel good and forget about the real world, etc. (Not necessarily always a good thing.)
Since 2010 I' m SHINee fan! New Onew is FANTASTIC!,About Key.....no words needed, Super cool!!!,Taemin it look' s He find His freedom in creativity, He is simply THE BEST!!!! NOW WE WAIT FOR MINHO'S NEWWORK! LOVE SHINee!!!👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💚 Love Your reaction video!
Fun fact, the dancers in Taemin's MV (AND in the live stage you watched..) are actually Beyoncé and Madonna's dancers, including Beyoncé's dance captain and her choreographer...
I am a proud shawol of over 15 years. I get prouder and prouder and prouder of these men with every release! They are all finding and thriving their own bag and I love it ! And let's just take a moment do appreciate the bone structure of these beautiful men!
Aww! I say all the time, I wish I could have been a shawol back when they debuted or in the earliest years of their career. It must have been such a cool experience!!! But I get to appreciate them now as they keep elevating higher and higher in their creativity and performance and that's pretty amazing to witness, too!!! And YES! Why are they sooooo good-looking??
"Horizon" is Taemin's double lead track from his 5th mini Korean solo album named Eternal, and it's his second release -- after "Sexy in The Air" -- under his new company Big Planet Made, as a soloist. How I interpret the theme of this entire album is it's a message about his new journey as a solo artist, which is based on the concepts of Quantum mechanics, and it ties into Taemin's situation of changing companies. (As you may have noticed, Taemin is very philosophical and introspective when it comes to his music and the stories and themes within his MVs.) This whole album could be considered to be a message about how he is dealing with the doubts, fears and uncertainty that come with pursuing something new after breaking away from the safety and comfort of everything he has become accustomed to for the past 16 years under SM. And yet, he also is feeling a hopeful excitement and a sense of new beginning, as he takes a huge step and embarks on a new adventure. Despite all these mixed emotions, "Horizon" is showing Taemates (Taemin's new name for his fans) and Shawols (SHINee fans) that just like quarks -- which are the particles that make up the building blocks of the protons and neutrons of an element -- Taemin will always be Taemin no matter what form he takes or where he is at, because those essential elements that make him who he is will always be part of him. It's impossible to change who he is. This is why in the lyrics he references "spatial horizon" -- a sea-level horizon where the Earth and sea seem to meet and appear perfectly level. Within a spatial horizon it appears as if the sea and Earth meet and touch, but that is a visual illusion. In other words, "don't believe everything you see and hear, like the spatial horizon, it could be just an illusion." I think he is using the message within this song to reassure Shawols that just because he has left SM, this new adventure with Big Planet Made as a solo artist, doesn't mean this changes who he is, he will always be a member of SHINee (and SM will always be a part of him) and the group and his fans are still extremely important to him.
Thank you for watching my reaction! I am glad that shawols/people who love SHINee can share in this love together!! Cuz this group is truly incredible! 🩵💚
GRACIAS POR REACCIONAR A SHINee. Todos son geniales tienen su propuo estilo. MI BIA es TAEMIN. Todo de el me cautiva Su encantadora forma de ser. Y Su maravilloso talento. El es musica. ❤
Fun fact: The ring you see Onew wearing in his "Beat Drum" MV I think is actually his SHINee friendship ring. During SHINee's 16th anniversary activities the SHINee members revealed they have been talking about getting a friendship ring for a while now, and they just recently made it official. (Inspired by groups like RIIZE and Seventeen, etc. who have group rings.) All 5 SHINee members now have rings, Jonghyun's was given to his sister. Onew fully admitted even before they purchased their rings that he would probably never take his ring off -- that's how important SHINee's bond is to him -- Key said he would wear it in public on special occasions (If you know Key, that's totally on brand for him), Minho will probably wear it whenever he's not acting and Taemin fully warned everyone -- that because of his "magic hands" and his propensity for always losing everything -- that he will try to wear his ring as much as possible, but he will probably end up losing it. LOL. (So far Taemin still has his ring and you can even see him wearing it during his solo promotions.) Yes, all the members are "married to SHINee" and they have all made it very clear that no matter what they do that SHINee as a group is the most important thing to them. (Just like Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin and D.O., just because they have chosen to move their solo activities to other companies, doesn't mean they have left SM or their group.) Taemin has mentioned that SHINee is currently in the process of planning their next album and comeback, which is all part of SM. "Beat Drum" is Onew's first comeback under Griffin Entertainment as a solo artist, but it's the lead track on his 5th solo album Flow, overall. He had his official solo debut in 2018 with his song "Blue" on his Voice album. Then after returning from the military he released his title track "Dice" MV on his Dice album, then that same year his first solo Japanese album Life Goes On and last year he released his "O (Circle)" MV on his Circle album. Plus, he has several solo singles as well under SM starting way back in 2016. Of course, Onew is an amazing singer and performer. That's why the members of SHINee are some of the most well-respected singers and artists, and why they are one of the top groups in the industry. :D SHINee are the golden standard. It's literally known as the SHINee standard, and it's what all other groups strive to reach. SHINee are such an elite group of performers that they are recognized for the fact that there are no longer any fixed roles in their group. The main vocalists can rap, the rappers can fill in as main vocalists and they're all impressive dancers. Onew is considered one of the premiere vocalists in the industry, who is known for being the male vocalist with the most consistent voice. He is one of the vocalists that vocal coaches use as an example of what people should try to emulate in order to become a great singer. He has been recognized as one of the top vocalists in Kpop since even before debut. Onew was only one of two people ever personally cast by Lee SooMan, the founder of SM Entertainment, and he was chosen at age 16/17 for his outstanding vocal ability. Onew's vocal technique is so good that even as a rookie -- he debuted when he was just 18 years old -- he was a vocal coach and mentor to a lot of trainees, including some of the members of EXO. SHINee were designed to be SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, so everything they do -- including the members' solo work -- is meant to be the first, and they are expected to create the trend. With every new song the SHINee members release, it's supposed to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from Onew. But it will somehow always sound very much like Onew. With every release that the SHINee members have, they intentionally flip the script and change things up in the Kpop industry. That's why, when any of the members of SHINee make a comeback, everyone pays attention because they are looking to the members of SHINee to show them what the industry's next song style and dance trend will be. When the SHINee members do something, the industry takes note and follows suit. Just wait until you see and hear Onew perform "Beat Drum" live. As you know, SHINee have been nicknamed CD-INee or CD-eaters because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. The SHINee members always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing, so they avoid it at all costs. Therefore, when you hear any of the members of SHINee singing, 95% of the time it will be live. It's a running joke between the fans and the members that when SHINee lip syncs you can tell because it's very obvious. In other words, unless Onew is required to lip sync for a specific reason, he will always sing live. He has trained his entire career to build endurance and stamina in order to be able to sing live and maintain stable vocals all while performing extremely complex choreography for more than 3 hours straight in concert. That's why Onew -- and SHINee -- is so highly respected among his peers.
I can actually listen to every song on their albums, but there are some that scratch my brain so beautifully that I can't resist. Onew -Maestro Key-Overthink Taemin-GOAT Deja Vu
Onew looks so vibrant and happy! And he's really come out of his shell more, especially watching him talking to audiences at festivals or doing tv appearances. It's so great to see. I love Maestro on the new album, there's even a performance video for it. For Key, Overthink and Going Up are SO good. Taemin's new songs Deja Vu and Crush are my favorite. The choreography for Deja Vu is INSANE. There are clips from his tour livestream uploaded on youtube.
Yes, I love seeing Onew being so happy, healthy, and outgoing! It's really sweet!!! Thanks for the suggestions - I'll let you know what I think of these songs!
OMG Khadija, I swear we are so alike in our reactions and thoughts when it comes to SHINee men and especially Taemin! He stood out the most to me as well when I first discovered SHINee in 2018 but of course they all have their amazing God given natural talents which keeps them on 🔥🔥even after all these years! These boys are perfection! Taemin's Horizon video gives me chills (actually, all his videos do) but I love how he has the international dancers, not to mention famous choreographers Kany and Beyonce's dance captain Ashley Everett (the two leaving the floor last at the end). I mean, when famous dancers want to back you up, that just proves how top notch Taemin is! No one is on his level in the industry. I'm PRAYING he will do a USA tour in the near future. I swear WE need to be there when that happens too! 🙂 Love your reactions! I'm not familiar with patreon but I will check it out just to see your SHINee content. Thanks so much for your great reactions! (sorry for the long post)! Lol!
Thank you for this comment!!! Seriously, this is so real! I also discovered SHINee in 2018 and it was just in time to really take in Taemin's 'WANT' & 'MOVE' era and it was like... who is this artistic genius???? And then he's just gotten more & more brilliant with every solo since! 🤯 I NEED them to do a North American tour!!! Every time we watch them on Twitch, I say I'll book a ticket to any city in order to see them live. And I'll cry the whole time! Haha Thanks for watching my freedom and sharing your comments! I appreciate your support! 💚
Your review of the ShiNee members solo work was so great. They are all truly artistic, talented and charismatic performers that create such amazing music content. Look out for Minho’s solo work coming soon.
SHINee is just on another level when it comes to performance! Excited to hear Minho's next solo release! Thanks for watching my reaction and sharing this comment 🩵💚
Thanks for the reaction! Just what I needed. I became interested in Taemin after your reaction to "Want" year before on another channel, with your group members. Absolutely randomly UA-cam suggested me a reaction, I liked the picture, and I decided to watch it. So thanks to you I found Taemin, before that I was not into K-pop. I decided to take a look. I looked deeper and that's it! For the first time I became someone's fan Yes, I liked other artists before and admired them, but then... Something else happened. Later, because of the love with which Taemin spoke about Shinee, I became interested in them too.I can't say that I was immediately captivated by their discography, Taemin's music is closer to me, but when I started watching their concerts, all questions disappeared. It feels like they were all born for the stage! And music videos steal their special magic from them. And they have great videos, but Shinee on stage is another level of pleasure.
Omgggggg, I love that we got to be part of your journey into discovering Taemin, SHINee, k-pop... this makes me so happy! And around that time, we were discovering together, cuz those were our earliest reactions and us discovering Taemin's creative genius, too! I totally agree that SHINee is truly magical when they are performing live - it's the live performance videos that REALLY made me fall in love with that group!!!
@@KPopwithKhadija Yes, I watched all your reactions on Rivers live. ))) Some reactions immediately as they came out, some I found by request. Considering that it was the coronavirus period, what I found thanks to you, Taemin, brightened up my days at home. And on this channel I also watched all the videos related to Taemin and Shinee from the moment Shinee's Came back in 2023 Together with you, so Thank You Very Much again.
Onew was the SHINee member that I had the most difficult time getting to know, but now I just ADORE him. He’s the leader and kind of leads by quiet example. He cares for his members so much and has helped them through some unspeakably difficult times. But he’s the silliest, most adorable little bean ever. I just want to put him in my pocket and feed him chicken. (His love for chicken has become a meme at this point.) He’s famous for his dad jokes and clumsy physical humor. He’s a warm beam of sunshine and his smile can light up a room. He talks about kindness and, especially after his hiatus, self care. “Gentle” is a word I use to describe him. (His real name is Jinki, and Onew actually means Gentleness. He’s also called “Dubu Leader Onew.” Dubu means tofu because he’s so soft.) Not to mention, his super unique voice. IU told him that he has her favorite voice in the industry. Wow, I just wrote a treatise about how much I love Onew. He’s just a beautiful human (though tbf, all of the SHINee boys are! I love them so much!) Taemin is my Ult of Ult and…yep. Everything you said about him. You’ve put into words all of the things I feel about him. He’s just unreal. I’m so grateful to be living in the same time as he is. I’ve literally listened to Taemin’s song Deja Vu 300 songs since it came out. Highly recommend!
Ahhh yes, you captured it perfectly!!!! This is exactly what I feel about Onew - it took me a while to 'get it' but now that I see him, these are all the things I ADORE about him!!!! Perfectly put! Okay, I'll come back and let you know what I think of 'Deja Vu' when I hear it!!! 😁
there was an episode were taemin and minho were talking ang minho said how when his dancing the moves ans facial expression were so great taemin turns to minho and says did i really do that and minho says ya taemin says i dont recall doing that and minho says ive seen almost all you concerts and yes you do all the moves like your someone else taemin starts to laugh it was so cute
I STILL haven't listened to the album cuz I'm planning on doing reactions just for the performance videos! I knowwwww my bias Key is gonna eat this up!
You should do an Onew deep dive with his solo albums to catch up on his work. Each one is different but they still capture who he is and what he's trying to achieve. Prepare to me mesmerized. Also, if you are missing any solo work from the other members, you should catch up with those, too. Look forward to Minho’s upcoming album, "Call Back" that'll be released on Nov 4! If you take on this challenge, I'm so excited for you. Anyway, continue to enjoy and love SHINee.
According to fans, Horizon is based on Physics as Taemin's been reading about Physics lately. The dance crew is famous! Not only Kany, but Beyonce's dance captain (I have completely forgotten everyone's names) and so many others!!! Taemin really is the GOAT. Minho is dropping his FULL ALBUM November 4!!!!!
Khadija you really need to watch Taemin's Deja vu live perfomance, seriously, you need to. From Onew's mini my fav is Maestro, there's a live version video, and for Key's is Overthink, that has a performance video.
Ahhhhhh yay!! I was waiting for this one! You know how much I love Onew lol. My fave from this album is Maestro and I HIGHLY recommend listening to it on a sunny day while you’re in the car with the windows down. Some other faves from his other solo albums that I highly recommend adding to your playlist: Dice, Sunshine, Circle (we listened to that one on stream), Blue, and Caramel. Key is my bias but Onew is for sureeeee my wrecker. Something about his voice is like soul food for me.
😁 Kendra, you've been very patiently waiting for this reaction!!! But you were right: he did not disappoint!! Neither did Key! Lol Ok, I'll let you know what I think of Maestro when I listen to it! (Though sunny days with the window down may be gone here in Canada 😓 it's getting cold now...) And I should listen to more of Onew's earlier solos. I think Circle is the only one I've heard before (thanks to y'all). But you're right about his voice, there's magic to it! 😍
@@KPopwithKhadija I don’t think Key will ever disappoint. The day that Key drops a solo that isn’t a banger, is the day that the K Pop industry colllapses 😂
i love how you waited to do them together! And Key is my bias too haha -- and all the solos have been really good Minho will comeback with a solo soon!
I've loved these solos! Excited to see what Minho does too. This last year, I've discovered this new appreciate for Minho - he's grown now and it just. hits. different. Haha 😂
I love you,girl❤❤❤Thank you for being loyal to our amazing SHINee.Your reaction is so genuine and of course amazing 😍😍😍 Nobody can't understand Taemin ever!!😁🤣He is just unpredictable 😉
KEY is just taking up my mental space right now. The face cards -- and thumbnails on every video -- keep stealing my attention. Seriously, how can someone be so beautiful and talented like that?!
Think I get somewhat your point but like... Key is rather famous for being the most blunt and forthcoming member of the group, and generally of the five the one who's most open about his approach to his work so was surprised that you said he was quiet lol. That said the shinee members as a group are known for being rather private so even with him as the slight exception kinda understandable.
Khadija, great reaction! Girl, you are going to DIE when you watch Key's Overthink Co-merawork video! Like, Taemin is my most ultimate ever, but this performance video has me by the throat: ua-cam.com/video/Xk-9Yz97JSM/v-deo.htmlsi=wnMVNwAIUlr4pg6y
AHHHH!!! I saw this thumbnail maybe like the day after I filmed this reaction and I was like nooooooo!!! I might film an extra reaction to that one for Patreon cuz I just know it's gonna be good! 😁
Check out shinee's entire discography and solo work. As to Minho he will be releasing a new album soon. He's finished recording it. Your now a babywol welcome to shineeworld
Hahaha I might be a teenager-wol at this point. I only discovered SHINee in 2018 and I know their biggest songs but there's SO much of their discography I still need to discover! I should do a whole Deep Dive at some point! Can't wait for Minho's next solo too 🩵💚
@@KPopwithKhadija you don't have long to wait his new album call back will be out on the 4th of Nov. Teenwol is good you'll soon be a full fledgling shawl. Enjoy the journey. Minho and key use lysn bubble to talk to fans. You might want to subscribe. Taemin uses BPM bubble and also has a channel on froom which is where onew has his bubble chat

SHINee is really just THAT group where I can get equally as excited for their individual work as I get for their group stuff.

Exactly ❤❤❤

Voice, Dice, Circle and Flow his all albums are so different from each other but still so much Onew
Maestro live performance has me in it's clutches
Key put a performance video for Overthink it's so gooood!!!!!! He is my bias too for the past 13 years!
As you may remember, Key is SM's director of fashion -- that's his official title -- so all the styling in his "Pleasure Shop" MV was designed and chosen by him. He is known for being able to pull off almost any style and for making even the most ridiculous looking styles on the average person, look cool.

Since 2010 I' m SHINee fan! New Onew is FANTASTIC!,About Key.....no words needed, Super cool!!!,Taemin it look' s He find His freedom in creativity, He is simply THE BEST!!!!
NOW WE WAIT FOR MINHO'S NEWWORK!
LOVE SHINee!!!👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💚
Love Your reaction video!
Fun fact, the dancers in Taemin's MV (AND in the live stage you watched..) are actually Beyoncé and Madonna's dancers, including Beyoncé's dance captain and her choreographer...
Werrrrrrkkkkkkkkk!!!!! Come on, Taemin!
I am a proud shawol of over 15 years. I get prouder and prouder and prouder of these men with every release! They are all finding and thriving their own bag and I love it ! And let's just take a moment do appreciate the bone structure of these beautiful men!
Aww! I say all the time, I wish I could have been a shawol back when they debuted or in the earliest years of their career. It must have been such a cool experience!!!

"Horizon" is Taemin's double lead track from his 5th mini Korean solo album named Eternal, and it's his second release -- after "Sexy in The Air" -- under his new company Big Planet Made, as a soloist.
How I interpret the theme of this entire album is it's a message about his new journey as a solo artist, which is based on the concepts of Quantum mechanics, and it ties into Taemin's situation of changing companies. (As you may have noticed, Taemin is very philosophical and introspective when it comes to his music and the stories and themes within his MVs.) This whole album could be considered to be a message about how he is dealing with the doubts, fears and uncertainty that come with pursuing something new after breaking away from the safety and comfort of everything he has become accustomed to for the past 16 years under SM. And yet, he also is feeling a hopeful excitement and a sense of new beginning, as he takes a huge step and embarks on a new adventure.
Despite all these mixed emotions, "Horizon" is showing Taemates (Taemin's new name for his fans) and Shawols (SHINee fans) that just like quarks -- which are the particles that make up the building blocks of the protons and neutrons of an element -- Taemin will always be Taemin no matter what form he takes or where he is at, because those essential elements that make him who he is will always be part of him. It's impossible to change who he is.
This is why in the lyrics he references "spatial horizon" -- a sea-level horizon where the Earth and sea seem to meet and appear perfectly level. Within a spatial horizon it appears as if the sea and Earth meet and touch, but that is a visual illusion. In other words, "don't believe everything you see and hear, like the spatial horizon, it could be just an illusion."
I think he is using the message within this song to reassure Shawols that just because he has left SM, this new adventure with Big Planet Made as a solo artist, doesn't mean this changes who he is, he will always be a member of SHINee (and SM will always be a part of him) and the group and his fans are still extremely important to him.
Khadija I love watching you speak about SHINee. I love seeing them get the respect they deserve from someone who knows what they are talking about!
Thank you for watching my reaction! I am glad that shawols/people who love SHINee can share in this love together!! Cuz this group is truly incredible! 🩵💚

Onew -Maestro
Key-Overthink
Taemin-GOAT
Deja Vu
Ooh! Okay!! Thank you for sharing these! I'll let you know what I think when I listen to them! 💚
Onew looks so vibrant and happy! And he's really come out of his shell more, especially watching him talking to audiences at festivals or doing tv appearances. It's so great to see. I love Maestro on the new album, there's even a performance video for it.
For Key, Overthink and Going Up are SO good.
Taemin's new songs Deja Vu and Crush are my favorite. The choreography for Deja Vu is INSANE. There are clips from his tour livestream uploaded on youtube.
Yes, I love seeing Onew being so happy, healthy, and outgoing! It's really sweet!!!
Thanks for the suggestions - I'll let you know what I think of these songs!
OMG Khadija, I swear we are so alike in our reactions and thoughts when it comes to SHINee men and especially Taemin! He stood out the most to me as well when I first discovered SHINee in 2018 but of course they all have their amazing God given natural talents which keeps them on 🔥🔥even after all these years! These boys are perfection! Taemin's Horizon video gives me chills (actually, all his videos do) but I love how he has the international dancers, not to mention famous choreographers Kany and Beyonce's dance captain Ashley Everett (the two leaving the floor last at the end). I mean, when famous dancers want to back you up, that just proves how top notch Taemin is! No one is on his level in the industry. I'm PRAYING he will do a USA tour in the near future. I swear WE need to be there when that happens too! 🙂 Love your reactions! I'm not familiar with patreon but I will check it out just to see your SHINee content. Thanks so much for your great reactions! (sorry for the long post)! Lol!
Thank you for this comment!!! Seriously, this is so real! I also discovered SHINee in 2018 and it was just in time to really take in Taemin's 'WANT' & 'MOVE' era and it was like... who is this artistic genius???? And then he's just gotten more & more brilliant with every solo since! 🤯
I NEED them to do a North American tour!!! Every time we watch them on Twitch, I say I'll book a ticket to any city in order to see them live. And I'll cry the whole time! Haha
Thanks for watching my freedom and sharing your comments! I appreciate your support! 💚
@@KPopwithKhadija thank you for taking the time to respond! I'm with you about a North American tour!! Lol! Have a great week! 💙
ONE, I would also like to be Key when I grow up, TWO that is my favorite Pleasure Shop Facecam too XD
We understand each other 😌 lol
Your review of the ShiNee members solo work was so great. They are all truly artistic, talented and charismatic performers that create such amazing music content. Look out for Minho’s solo work coming soon.
SHINee is just on another level when it comes to performance! Excited to hear Minho's next solo release! Thanks for watching my reaction and sharing this comment 🩵💚
Taemin inspires me. I love him so much as an artist!
But I have to say, I love all of SHINee soooo much. They're amazing!
Yes!!! Taemin is incredible! But all 5 members are SHINee are, and have always been, amazing! 💚
Minho will release his first full album VERY soon, he finished recording all the songs a few days ago.
Thanks for the vid❤i absolutely adore SHINee, they're the best of the best
Thank you for watching! 💚 I agree, SHINee is top tier!
Thanks for the reaction! Just what I needed.
I became interested in Taemin after your reaction to "Want" year before on another channel, with your group members. Absolutely randomly UA-cam suggested me a reaction, I liked the picture, and I decided to watch it. So thanks to you I found Taemin, before that I was not into K-pop. I decided to take a look. I looked deeper and that's it! For the first time I became someone's fan Yes, I liked other artists before and admired them, but then... Something else happened. Later, because of the love with which Taemin spoke about Shinee, I became interested in them too.I can't say that I was immediately captivated by their discography, Taemin's music is closer to me, but when I started watching their concerts, all questions disappeared. It feels like they were all born for the stage! And music videos steal their special magic from them. And they have great videos, but Shinee on stage is another level of pleasure.
Omgggggg, I love that we got to be part of your journey into discovering Taemin, SHINee, k-pop... this makes me so happy! And around that time, we were discovering together, cuz those were our earliest reactions and us discovering Taemin's creative genius, too! I totally agree that SHINee is truly magical when they are performing live - it's the live performance videos that REALLY made me fall in love with that group!!!
@@KPopwithKhadija Yes, I watched all your reactions on Rivers live. ))) Some reactions immediately as they came out, some I found by request. Considering that it was the coronavirus period, what I found thanks to you, Taemin, brightened up my days at home. And on this channel I also watched all the videos related to Taemin and Shinee from the moment Shinee's Came back in 2023 Together with you, so Thank You Very Much again.
I love key❤
Onew was the SHINee member that I had the most difficult time getting to know, but now I just ADORE him. He’s the leader and kind of leads by quiet example. He cares for his members so much and has helped them through some unspeakably difficult times.
But he’s the silliest, most adorable little bean ever. I just want to put him in my pocket and feed him chicken. (His love for chicken has become a meme at this point.) He’s famous for his dad jokes and clumsy physical humor.
He’s a warm beam of sunshine and his smile can light up a room. He talks about kindness and, especially after his hiatus, self care. “Gentle” is a word I use to describe him. (His real name is Jinki, and Onew actually means Gentleness. He’s also called “Dubu Leader Onew.” Dubu means tofu because he’s so soft.)
Not to mention, his super unique voice. IU told him that he has her favorite voice in the industry.
Wow, I just wrote a treatise about how much I love Onew. He’s just a beautiful human (though tbf, all of the SHINee boys are! I love them so much!)
Taemin is my Ult of Ult and…yep. Everything you said about him. You’ve put into words all of the things I feel about him. He’s just unreal. I’m so grateful to be living in the same time as he is. I’ve literally listened to Taemin’s song Deja Vu 300 songs since it came out. Highly recommend!
Ahhh yes, you captured it perfectly!!!! This is exactly what I feel about Onew - it took me a while to 'get it' but now that I see him, these are all the things I ADORE about him!!!! Perfectly put!
Okay, I'll come back and let you know what I think of 'Deja Vu' when I hear it!!! 😁
i agree with you when he went away he looked so different now his back to his old look love it
I was concerned before his hiatus. I'm SO HAPPY to see him look so happy & healthy now
SHINee 💎💎💎💎💎
there was an episode were taemin and minho were talking ang minho said how when his dancing the moves ans facial expression were so great taemin turns to minho and says did i really do that and minho says ya taemin says i dont recall doing that and minho says ive seen almost all you concerts and yes you do all the moves like your someone else taemin starts to laugh it was so cute
I love their relationships to each other so muchhhhhhh!!!!! 😭😍
Khadija please react to Key’s performance video for Overthink. It is super stunning!!
I STILL haven't listened to the album cuz I'm planning on doing reactions just for the performance videos! I knowwwww my bias Key is gonna eat this up!
You should do an Onew deep dive with his solo albums to catch up on his work. Each one is different but they still capture who he is and what he's trying to achieve. Prepare to me mesmerized.
Also, if you are missing any solo work from the other members, you should catch up with those, too. Look forward to Minho’s upcoming album, "Call Back" that'll be released on Nov 4!
If you take on this challenge, I'm so excited for you. Anyway, continue to enjoy and love SHINee.
According to fans, Horizon is based on Physics as Taemin's been reading about Physics lately. The dance crew is famous! Not only Kany, but Beyonce's dance captain (I have completely forgotten everyone's names) and so many others!!! Taemin really is the GOAT. Minho is dropping his FULL ALBUM November 4!!!!!
Taemin ❤️💎👑
I totally agree, it doesn't matter what genre Taemin does, I'm always left feeling like "damn that was so Taemin of him" 😂🙌
Riiiight? He's just so... TAEMIN! haha
Khadija you really need to watch Taemin's Deja vu live perfomance, seriously, you need to.
From Onew's mini my fav is Maestro, there's a live version video, and for Key's is Overthink, that has a performance video.
Okayyyyyy! These are the songs I keep hearing again and again! I'm gonna check these out (the performances) and let you know what I think!
@@KPopwithKhadija great!!! 😃😃
Yeah Minho finally gonna release his first full albums called Call back with 10songs in November 4th🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 what a shinee year💎🙌🏻
LOVE THIS FOR US! 🩵
Minho is releasing his first full album on November 4th with title track "Call Back" !!!! I look forward to your reaction!!! SHINee never disappoint
YESSSSSSS! I cannot wait!!!
Ahhhhhh yay!! I was waiting for this one! You know how much I love Onew lol. My fave from this album is Maestro and I HIGHLY recommend listening to it on a sunny day while you’re in the car with the windows down.
Some other faves from his other solo albums that I highly recommend adding to your playlist: Dice, Sunshine, Circle (we listened to that one on stream), Blue, and Caramel. Key is my bias but Onew is for sureeeee my wrecker. Something about his voice is like soul food for me.
😁 Kendra, you've been very patiently waiting for this reaction!!! But you were right: he did not disappoint!! Neither did Key! Lol
Ok, I'll let you know what I think of Maestro when I listen to it! (Though sunny days with the window down may be gone here in Canada 😓 it's getting cold now...)
And I should listen to more of Onew's earlier solos. I think Circle is the only one I've heard before (thanks to y'all). But you're right about his voice, there's magic to it! 😍
@@KPopwithKhadija I don’t think Key will ever disappoint. The day that Key drops a solo that isn’t a banger, is the day that the K Pop industry colllapses 😂
Taemin is Taemin
💯💯
ugh taemin is too goated his music quality is through the roof
Right??!!!!
i love how you waited to do them together! And Key is my bias too haha -- and all the solos have been really good
Minho will comeback with a solo soon!
I've loved these solos! Excited to see what Minho does too. This last year, I've discovered this new appreciate for Minho - he's grown now and it just. hits. different. Haha 😂
I love you,girl❤❤❤Thank you for being loyal to our amazing SHINee.Your reaction is so genuine and of course amazing 😍😍😍
Nobody can't understand Taemin ever!!😁🤣He is just unpredictable 😉
Awww, thank you for watching my reaction and for this very sweet comment! 💚🩵
KEY is just taking up my mental space right now. The face cards -- and thumbnails on every video -- keep stealing my attention. Seriously, how can someone be so beautiful and talented like that?!
Like... HOW?!
Think I get somewhat your point but like... Key is rather famous for being the most blunt and forthcoming member of the group, and generally of the five the one who's most open about his approach to his work so was surprised that you said he was quiet lol. That said the shinee members as a group are known for being rather private so even with him as the slight exception kinda understandable.
? No, I said Onew is really quiet. I called Key the sassiest, c*ntiest boy... 😝😅
이제 조만간 민호 솔로 앨범도 나옴!!
Ahhhh!! I can't wait!!!! I've also developed a new love/appreciation for him this year - excited for new music! 🩵💚
we need a jennie mantra reaction please ❤
It's coming very soon!!!
Khadija, great reaction! Girl, you are going to DIE when you watch Key's Overthink Co-merawork video! Like, Taemin is my most ultimate ever, but this performance video has me by the throat: ua-cam.com/video/Xk-9Yz97JSM/v-deo.htmlsi=wnMVNwAIUlr4pg6y
AHHHH!!! I saw this thumbnail maybe like the day after I filmed this reaction and I was like nooooooo!!! I might film an extra reaction to that one for Patreon cuz I just know it's gonna be good! 😁
Check out shinee's entire discography and solo work.
As to Minho he will be releasing a new album soon. He's finished recording it. Your now a babywol welcome to shineeworld
Hahaha I might be a teenager-wol at this point. I only discovered SHINee in 2018 and I know their biggest songs but there's SO much of their discography I still need to discover! I should do a whole Deep Dive at some point! Can't wait for Minho's next solo too 🩵💚
@@KPopwithKhadija you don't have long to wait his new album call back will be out on the 4th of Nov.
Teenwol is good you'll soon be a full fledgling shawl. Enjoy the journey.
Minho and key use lysn bubble to talk to fans. You might want to subscribe. Taemin uses BPM bubble and also has a channel on froom which is where onew has his bubble chat
