![NEW FAVOURITE SOLO ARTIST?! First Time Discovering TAEMIN [Guilty, Criminal, Want, Advice + More]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dq8NMcFGNLw/mqdefault.jpg)
Yes, Taemin from Shinee, NOT Exo James, misspoke. Thank you for the corrections
Just wanted to clarify that Taemin is from the group SHINee, not EXO. However, SHINee and EXO are both under the same label (SM) and Taemin is a part of the super group, Super M, that also has EXO members in it.
Taemin is no longer under SM, except for as a member of SHINee
@@laulau1139 Yes. I was referring to SHINee, EXO and Super M as groups that are under SM, not Taemin as an individual.
Taemin is a true artist.
After MJ died when I was a kid,I thought now there will be no dancing and singing artist I will watch and wait for,but 2012 SHINee's Sherlock gave me Taemin,My eyes stuck on his dance and voice both.
OMG AAAAAAAAAAAH♡
Please react to SHINee, they are the standard ♡
Taemin is from Shinee, and he's also part of the group SuperM. He's not in Exo. Lol Also Taemin touches on the Stockholm Syndrome in this song
he said that Criminal is about inner battle with his other self. he's both the victim and the abuser
Thank you for another wonderful reaction. I enjoyed it and I'm so glad you're discovering more and more of Taemin's art. I don't know what to suggest next from his many wonderful songs, maybe some of his Japanese songs like Flame of love,Under my skin and Sayonara Hitori.I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you so much!!
Just so you know, "Criminal" is part 1 of his NGDA album, "IDEA" is part 2, and "Advice" is the epilogue. So I would suggest reacting to "IDEA" next. They all make up one cohesive story line.
Taemin is the Artist i always wait for and wanna see his works.
Taemin é sensacional
Taemin is from SHINee... if you really want to see his moves, you might want to check his DANCE PRACTICE VIDEOS... its amazing... hope to see more of Taemin and SHINee... 😊❤
YAAAAASSSSS TAEMIN !!!!! His vocals are just INSANE !!! you should also react to his dance practices !!! He is the BEST DANCER !!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 His choregraphy are insaaaaaaaaane !!!!!!!!!! I hope you'll react to the dance practice of this song, also to " advice, idea, guilty" 'in "idea" and "criminal" dance practices, you'll see his backup dancers being dead on the floor, and him, still having energy and goofing around at the end hihi) 🥰🥰🥰
Also hope you'll continue to react to some killing voices like Day6 killing voice pls
Im loving the discussion guysss
Loved your reaction! Breaking down the video was fun. The Syndrome he is singing of is the Stockholm Syndrome, and the criminal he falls for is the other side of him. The song is about his internal struggle. He explores this topic quite a lot in his songs.
Gracias por reaccionar a Taemin, para mi el solista más versatil y conceptual.
If you're doing Shinee, please react to Don't Call Me.
And for Taemin I highly recommend doing the MV and Dance Practice videos together.
Waiting forTaemin dance practice 🙏🙏🙏
Under my skin
By taemin is a really beautiful but underrated song
Taemin from.Shinee
Just so you know, the Taemin you see is not necessarily the criminal in his "Criminal" MV. I see him as the victim who is being held captive by the criminal. The criminal is his lover (i.e. the other side of his personality) that he is singing about, which is a metaphor for the pressure he feels under as a Kpop idol. The song is about living in a toxic relationship and being brainwashed by a lover. He has now fallen in love with the person (or thing -- i.e. his career) who is inflicting all the pain and suffering on him, so now he accepts the abuse as a normal part of the relationship. Even though he is being abused by that person -- possibly a metaphor for the pressure he is creating for himself with the need to always be the best in everything he does -- he can't help but love them and allow them to continue to hurt him, etc.
All the abuse is happening to him, he is not hurting anyone else or doing anything criminal himself. Therefore, the story isn't about Taemin being a criminal. Notice, the S.W.A.T. team isn't arresting him. They pretty much walk right past Taemin and ignore him as they search for the criminal.
The "boss" vibe is a facade he puts on to make people believe he is in control, but as we see in the choreography, he is being manipulated by all the outside forces around him. For example, we see him lying across the backup dancers backs and they pick him up and manipulate him to do what they want him to do at that moment. A lot of his dance moves are designed to make him look like a marionette puppet that is being pulled around by strings and being told what to do. Which is what you see when he is crouched down and he creates that wiggly, wave movement in the dance, etc.
As part of the story, he has been held captive for so long that, as it says in the lyrics of the song, he is now suffering from Stockholm syndrome, so he is no longer fighting the abuse and that is why you see him throw his bindings away. The criminal -- which is a metaphor for the pressure he has felt in his career -- no longer has to tie him up to keep him there. (Because he has fallen in love with the pain and suffering he inflicts on himself as an artist, etc.) The backup dancers represent the forces he is struggling against as he fights with his mind over whether to stay or go, etc.
Pirates didn't just wear eye patches because they injured one of their eyes. Eye patches were more often worn by thieves who had perfect eyesight. An eye patch helps you to see better in the dark or in low light. If you shield your eyes from bright light, when you enter a dark room and remove the eye patch, your eyes adjust more quickly to the dark. This allowed pirates and thieves to be able to see better and be able to get in and get out more quickly as they go from bright daylight to darkness of a low lit room or hull of a ship, etc. Therefore, I think the eye patch that Taemin wears and the masks covering one eye of the backup dancers is a metaphor for being able to see in the dark and how Taemin is saying he has now been in the industry long enough to understand what the "criminal" is doing to him -- i.e. he knows he needs to shield himself from the bright lights of fame in order to see what is happening in the dark -- and he is fully aware of what he is sacrificing, but he loves what he does too much to leave, etc.
Fun fact: It was Taemin's idea to include the police blotter/news clips in that part of the song. If you notice, the sound bites are from all over the world and they are speaking multiple languages.
"Criminal" is the second part of Taemin's Never Gonna Dance Again album that came out in 2021. It's part of a trilogy, which started with his prologue "2 Kids," and continued with "Criminal," which is part of Act 1 of the album. And it was followed up by "Idea," which is part of Act 2 of the album and it brings the whole concept full circle. And now his follow up release, "Advice," has become the epilogue to the story.
Taemin said in an interview: "The two acts put together tell a story. '2 Kids’ is about growing pains and depicts the story prior to the story in the album. You can think of '2 Kids' as a teaser before the movie called 'Never Gonna Dance Again.' Act 1 shows a new side of me. I think it’ll be something you’ve never seen in K-pop before. And Act 2 is the end-all-be-all. It’s the ultimate level of intensity. Never Gonna Dance Again’ was originally the name of the concept. Because it doesn’t make sense for me to stop dancing. But I wanted to give a sense of rebellion with the irony of the title.”
This album's whole concept is a metaphor for his life and career. With every release from this album, the concept was designed to be darker then the last. In "2 Kids" he was emotionally and physically beating himself up with regrets. In "Criminal" he was living in a toxic relationship. In "Idea" he takes the theme one step further, and says that even though it was my idea and my plan to live this life, nothing comes without a price, and because of that need for perfection, any chance of being average or living a regular life is pretty much dead. Taemin has sacrificed everything 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 then himself. Taemin has said that he really has never taken a true vacation since he was a trainee -- he started with SM Entertainment when he was around 11 years old -- and he doesn't know what to do if he isn't constantly working and training. As he 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.
All of Taemin's dances tell a story. As he has said, he specifically designs his choreography to be a part of the story within the song and MV. So, "Criminal" is supposed to be slightly creepy, as well as sexy. He is literally being abused and asking you to please "destroy me more."
As a member of SHINee, Taemin has trained his entire career to be able to pull off this type of intense and intricate dancing while singing live and always sounding flawless the whole time. (SHINee debuted in 2008 when Taemin was only 14 years old.) That is what SHINee are known for. So not only is Taemin an amazing dancer, but he is also one of the best singers in the industry, and the 5 members of SHINee make up one of the top groups, that everyone looks up to and dreams of even coming close to being as good as.
If you are impressed with Taemin's dancing, not only should you see his dance practice video for "Criminal," but just wait until you see a live performance. You will be even more blown away. And if you want to see Taemin explain the concept behind his dance moves, watch a tutorial video he did where he explains the dance to Jeno and Mark from NCT.
❤❤❤
Now that you have seen the MV you can watch his live performance as he changed the part to fit the concept of the performance
TAEMIN-KING
thanks for this reaction

Loved your reaction, can you please react to X:IN - Synchronize MV !!
Taemin from SHINee
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
TAEMIN is from ShiNEE. YOU SAID EXO🫣😆😆😆
A bag on Taemin's head is a symbol of panic attacks from which you suffocate and you are in so much pain that you cannot breathe normally, you feel like you are dying. Taemin had depression before the army and as a result he developed panic attacks so severe that treatment in the army did not help him and he became worse. Taemin stands against a wall with mannequin heads - these are idols in the K-pop industry. The broken store window is the SM agency and he is standing with a chainsaw, he wants to destroy this vicious system, but he likes what he does. He likes to be creative, to be an artist, even though it hurts him. Hands reaching out to him through the black fabric and his finger sliding along the glass. This is him showing how people point their fingers at him through the screens of their mobile phones and follow him, his heart is full of their imprints.
You guys are right about how he fell in love with somebody who took away his innocence and him realizing that he loves the feeling even though it’s toxic and wrong. If you watch his MV Guilty it’s a continuation of the story where he now becomes the criminal hurting somebody that is in love with him.
he said that Criminal is about two sides of himself, not another person
Guys, SB 19 just dropped their latest MV entitled Moonlight. You might want to check it out.
