Congratulations on getting tickets to Taemin's concert!! By the way, you are both rocking great hair lately. Taemin is the focus, as he should be, but it doesn't hurt for the hosts to be looking good too!

Yes, how I interpret the theme of Taemin's entire Eternal album -- which "Horizon" and "Sexy in The Air" are on -- 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 a solo artist. (As you have seen, 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 Entertainment. 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.

Taemin's concert in Helsinki will be an unforgettable, exciting experience 🫶🫶🫶

I'm so excited for you both! I am not able to go to the concert for this tour. :( The stars didn't align, and the travel was just too far at the wrong time. But, I know he'll be back soon. I will see him some day too. Hopefully it will be during his crop top era.

Taemin has had a crop top era on and off since around 2012...

Taemin's mild obsession with quantum physics and science is VERY obvious in this entire album....

Taemin is performing more b-sides than title tracks in the concert, you might want to introduce her to some of those... I can give you the set list if you want...

Yeah so excited for the concert

❤❤❤

lol love comedian onew

I also cry everytime I hear this song, especially if I watch the MV

I'm now horrified by your Santa. No wonder you get socks. Have you tried leaving out some milk and cookies for him? A little bribe goes a long way.

Solar is my favorite singer and I remember when she released this and now I love christmas songs. All 4 members have christmas songs and worth seeing. Solar has a whole lot of covers, dance content worth watching on her channel.

For a new experience of what Onew can do, I highly suggest you watch "O Circle" from his penultimate album Circle. Onew has indeed released 4 solo albums since the beginning of his solo career. "Voice", "Dice", "Circle" and "Flow". Enjoy listening.

Please react to GFriend on Killing Voice show, they finally reunited after 4 years, I hope you will react to them😀

This song was written by Onew, Key, Minho and Taemin, and knowing that it's really their own words only makes this more emotional. The only thing that rivals this is their performance of From now on from the From now on concert. that one hits HARD. ruclips.net/video/nqnrrFGy_z0/видео.html

Lovely ❤

Auto dislike to poeple who said they dont like heechul’s red hair!

Every single year in mid-December, I take some time off of work for him. I put a candle in the window and tell him "you did well" in hopes that he can hear our voices. Shawols won't forget him.

This MV turned me into a Shawol before I even knew anyone's names and faces in Shinee - I'd just discovered Jonghyun (I was still new to k-pop) and watched this not long after. It was so beautiful and loving, with so much class. Painful but so, so beautiful.

I really want to leave a comment - Jonghyun is for me the best artist I've encountered in my many decades of listening to music, and also an amazing person - but I find myself at a loss for words. Three years in, after discovering first him then Shinee, I still mourn sometimes but I really just find myself constantly appreciating and taking joy in his extraordinary voice, song-writing, lyrics, stage presence...

I cried with you girls. Thanks for this video.

This is a song that always makes me cry...😢❤

Onew is the one who says “you did well”

Me encanta ❤ es mi segundo favorito 😊.... mi bias es MINHOT 😊.... espero su reacción a CALL BACK !!! Please🙏🙏🙏

About Jonghyun; HE DID EXTREMLY GOOD JOB, WORKING HARD, LEFT WITH A LOT OF SUPER COOL SONGS,AND RADIO SHOWS... I MISS HIM, WE ALL MISS HIM!!! 👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💚👍💜

Hola chicas😊,yo no puedo escuchar ésta canción, conocí a SHNIee hace 3 años ya, y el primer video de ellos que vi fué Ring Ding Dong,tengo 45 años y fué un flechazo, me encantaron,descubrí un grupo maravilloso, pero al poco me cayó el rayo en la cabeza ,que la noticia que había visto por allá por el 2017 del fallecimiento de un ídolo, justamente era Jonghyun el vocalista principal del grupo que estaba descubriendo y me enamoró!!!! Fué terrible darme cuenta de éso 😔...éste video sólo lo veo en reacciones cómo la de ustedes😢 muchas gracias por mostrarle a tu amiga tan maravilloso grupo💎💎💎💎💎❤️🫶

When your ready to react to a live shinee i suggest from now on 2018. It was only 2 months after jonghyuns passing that this concert had taken place. Four boys, five mics, tears and heartache but the boys made it through. The concert was already scheduled prior to the passing of there brother. They were struggling to go on with this concert. But jonghyuns mom and sister told them they needed to do this for jjong, the fans and themselves. Jjongs mom and sister attended this concert for love and support. Back then i chose to not watch it because it was too hard. But soon i realized it was harder for them and that as a fan i should support all there concert the good times and hard times. I have to remind myself it was such a painful thing for them to do. Not supporting shinee in everything they do is a true crime. Please react to this and shinees fans will be there with you with open arms. Thank you for such a great loving reaction.

Sending big hugs to every Shawol and Shinee.

I feel like, out of all Kpop songs in existence, SHINee's "Our Page" is one of the most important songs to know what the lyrics are about. As mentioned, every word of the song was wrote by the members and it is all about Jonghyun.The lyrics make reference to things that Jonghyun said to them in the letter he left them when he died. Every word is talking about their relationship as a group and their relationship with Jonghyun.The song and lyrics are a tribute to him and the more than 10 years the members spent together as a group. As the lyrics say, "We'll stick together through thick and thin, When I look back on the road we've traveled, The five of us holding hands and shedding tears together, The memories are so clear, I never want to forget it. And can never forget it ...", etc. As you discovered, if you know their backstory, than it should be fairly easy to understand that they are talking about Jonghyun and everything they have been through in the past 10 years. As the chorus says, "The beautiful words you've left behind (referring to the letters Jonghyun wrote to them before he died), Are like a poem and have become a song. (Jonghyun's words and thoughts have become lyrics to this song, as well as dozens of other songs he wrote throughout his lifetime, etc.) We raise our voices high, Knowing that it'll reach up to where you are (Their voices will reach Jonghyun in Heaven) When the stars fade, will it all be forgotten? (They are saying, they will never let their star fade so that Jonghyun will never be forgotten, and they will keep on living to keep his memory alive, etc.), You were so special to me, so I hold you close (Talking directly to Jonghyun),This page in the novel has yet to end (The song is called "Our Page", so they are talking about telling their story and creating the pages of their novel that has yet to end because they are still writing it every day.) I want to stay together until the end (Taemin has always said that he never wants SHINee to break up and that he wants them to still be together even after they are married with children and are in their 50s, 60s, 70s)," etc. In the story in the MV the members are just trying to go about their everyday lives in a world that no longer makes sense to them. It is showing them grieving Jonghyun's death. This song is very powerful and full of meaning. The message each of them sings about is very personal to them -- they each wrote their own lines -- and it's about their journey as a group and how much impact Jonghyun had in their life. And, as the members have said, it's about all the things they wish they could have told Jonghyun, etc. "Our Page" is epic because it should be epic. It was the song that made Shawols feel like it was finally OK to start to get back to a little bit of normal again. It was a moment of collective catharsis for everyone within the fandom and it showed us that the members were finally ready to get back to what they loved and they were more dedicated then ever to continue on as a group. I feel like people miss so much of the meaning and story in the MV if you don't know what the lyrics are about. In the MV, in the beginning we see each of the members struggling just to carry on with everyday life. But because they have no other choice, they all decide that the only way to honor Jonghyun's memory is to continue on. So we see Onew get back to composing songs (Jonghyun was the songwriter of the group so, this scene also is supposed to invoke memories of him as well), Taemin goes back to the gym (Jonghyun also spent a lot of time in the gym, so this was also Taemin's way of connecting with Jonghyun.) Minho is one of the top actors in Korea and when Jonghyun died he was on set filming for a drama, so we see Minho trying to get back to his normal routine and back to filming. And Key is one of the members, besides Taemin, who is known for his dancing, so we see him getting back to the dance studio and practicing the choreography for his solo debut album. Fun fact: We didn't know that what we saw in this MV was a secret reveal of Key's choreography for his debut solo releases, but since then, now that Key's album and MVs have come out, we realize that this was the choreography for one of his solo songs. The background beat of the song is supposed to represent the heartbeat of the group, the heartbeat of the fans, everything that kept the members moving forward and what brings them together as a group, etc. Every part of this song was done very purposefully and deliberately. As mentioned, the green/aqua blue light we see all around them is SHINee's fan color, and it represents how Jonghyun is always all around them and how he is calling them back to the stage. The light washes over the members representing how the fans' love, support and solidarity within the fandom gives the members the strength to carry on and to continue as a group. At one point we see each of the members standing still in a room while the world around them continues on. I agree, this represents how their world came to a standstill when Jonghyun died and how for a while it felt like their world stopped while everyone else continued living their lives. As they climb the stairs to the stage we see the lights come on one by one. I like to think that was each of the fans sending their support to encourage them to keep moving forward. And then once on stage we see the members all standing on stage with the one empty mic stand in the center that represents Jonghyun. Fun fact No. 2: Just like SHINee's "1 Of 1" MV was 5:25 long because it was supposed to represent how SHINee debuted 5/25/08, "Our Page" was 5:10 long because it was a reference to the fact that SHINee will forever be a group of 5 and this album is celebrating their 10th anniversary. So, this album, The Story of Light, is all about Jonghyun and every main track song has something to do with what they went through in the 5 months leading up to this album release, etc. For SHINee's 10th anniversary they released 3 albums -- Ep. 1, Ep. 2 and Ep. 3 -- with 5 songs each, as part of a trilogy that make up The Story of Light. The main track songs and MVs for each album are connected. As you have heard, "Good Evening" is about SHINee's grieving process and the way the public sees them. "I Want You" is about learning to find happiness again and how they are personally dealing with everything that happened and "Our Page" is the members telling Jonghyun's and their story. Then "Countless" wraps the whole story up and marks the beginning of a new chapter in SHINee's career.

My love song

😭

Next reaction to Lisa (Blackpink) new song. New woman (Feat. Rosalia ). and mantra by jennie blackpink That's great! please 🙌

Although SM could be doing a lot more to support the mental health of their artists, over the years they have actually made strides in trying to be supportive. It's just difficult in a society where discussing mental health issues is still so stigmatized. For example, several of SM's younger artists these days have taken mental health breaks and gone on hiatus -- even Onew took almost a year off for his health -- and since Jonghyun's and Suli's deaths, SM has appointed BoA as the director of mental health within the company and she is actually in charge of the health and mental well-being of all the artists. She has even shown in interviews in the past, the office within SM where her fellow idols and trainees can come to her and they talk about their problems and she advocates for them with the company and tries to get them whatever they need. One of the biggest issues that came to light after Jonghyun's passing was how he felt like people were telling him that he should be happy because this was the life he chose for himself. He had doctors and people who were supposed to be helping him who told him that he felt that way because he chose a life of a public figure and he just needed to get over it. He shouldn't feel anxious or depressed because he was living a life of such privilege, etc. Even before Jonghyun died, most fans knew he struggled with depression for most of his life -- he was never shy about talking about what he was dealing with -- but Korean culture really had no idea how to handle mental health issues back then, so he never really got the help he needed even though he was going to therapy, etc. As Es mentioned, Jonghyun had a late night radio show that he hosted every day for 3 years where he talked openly about mental health and he wanted to be a healing voice and space for his listeners. Jonghyun also published a book called Skeleton Flower that, among other things, talked about his mental health struggles and was meant to provide comfort to people. He even gave the book to friends in the industry that he knew were also having a hard time. Jonghyun also had a tattoo of a black dog on his side, which is a symbol of someone who struggles with depression, and we long-time Shawols all knew about it, we just never knew how bad it had really gotten until it was too late. For example, Jonghyun has a solo song called "Lonely" that, in hindsight, we have now realized pretty much depicts how he has felt "lonely" his entire life. He also was notorious for wearing his heart on his sleeve, so comments from people who would criticize his every move and were truly horrible and mean also affected him a lot. However, just because Jonghyun struggled with depression, doesn't mean he wasn't happy. Most of the time he was the most happy, positive person you would ever meet and he lived for the stage, so he was his most happy when he was performing, etc. It just goes to show you that you never know what someone is going through when they are alone and at their most vulnerable. I can understand why it might be hard for you to watch Jonghyun, but avoiding things to do with him is pretty much the exact opposite of what he would want. The way to honor Jonghyun's memory is to watch him in everything he did throughout his career and to react to his music and listen to his songs. I mean all the royalties from his work goes to the SHINee Foundation, which helps to advance mental health support within the industry and Korean society in general. So, we should watch and listen to as much SHINee content, and even Jonghyun's solo work, as we can. It's OK if it makes us a little emotional sometimes, but the way to get to know him and SHINee better is to really spend some time getting to know them as the amazing performers that they are. All Jonghyun ever wanted was to make people happy through his work and to influence the world with his songs and lyrics. So, honor him by discovering what an amazing person he was and seeing exactly what he wanted people to remember him for. His life was far more than this one brief moment of sadness and he would never want that to be the thing people remember most about him. Yes, it's sad, but you don't necessarily have to make it that way if you just appreciate his work for what it is and live in the moment. His final words to the world were "Tell me I did Well." So that is what we fans should try to do. By continuing to watch and listen to his and SHINee's music and appreciating the hundreds of clips of him we are lucky enough to have, and with SHINee as a group of 5, we are showing Jonghyun that, yes indeed, you did well and your life will forever be meaningful to thousands of people.

To understand SHINee's "Good Evening" MV, as Es mentioned, it had only been about 5 months when this MV came out since Jonghyun died -- Dec. 18, 2017 -- and this song and MV is all about how SHINee and Shawols have been grieving and are finally ready to begin to heal and come out of the darkness into the light. The album is called The Story of Light and it's all about finding the light out of the darkness, etc. It's about how the members are learning to continue on without Jonghyun and find happiness and light in a situation that will forever be difficult. May 25, 2018, when this MV was released, was SHINee's 10th anniversary, so this was also important because it was a comeback to commemorate their 10 years as a group. The choreography for "Good Evening" is very deliberate. The reason the choreography is like that is because it depicts them going through the grieving process and it tells the story of all the emotions they went through and how, now at the end, they have made the choice to continue on as a group and keep on running, etc. The choreography is really complex and beautiful and really fits the song well. It becomes clearer once you see it in its entirety and start to understand the story behind it all. As mentioned, in the MV, not only is the extra shadow that appears when they look into the tunnel/well at the end speculated to be Jonghyun's shadow, but the fox is thought to also represent him. Onew intensely stares into the eyes of the fox, almost as if he is communicating with the fox through his thoughts, and, to me, it's as if he is sharing a moment with Jonghyun. There is a fox in the story "The Little Prince" and "The Little Prince" was one of Jonghyun's favorite stories. Plus, a fox often represents the afterlife and the spirit of someone who has passed on reincarnated in many cultures. Also in the beginning there is an empty chair. An empty chair is often used to represent the spirit of someone who has passed on as well. But that's just a small portion of the hidden messages within this MV. If you really delve in deep you will discover that the whole MV can be connected to SHINee forever being 5 members and them including Jonghyun in all that they do. There are 5 trees at the end, which could represent the fact that, as Onew has said, even though you may only see 4 members on stage, SHINee will forever be a group of 5. As Es mentioned, they are in a room full of cameras and their images are being projected on the TV screens, which I have to agree, I think represents the fact that because SHINee is living in the public eye they can never escape from always being watched by the public. Which doesn't allow them the private space to really grieve and to express themselves and they are always being judged (both the members in their grieving process and what Jonghyun had to go through and what ultimately led him to feeling the way he did, etc.) This MV used a lot of green and aqua blue light to depict the cool and somber feel of the story, but it also was used because pearl aqua blue/green is SHINee's fan color and it was used to represent Jonghyun's presence all around them and the support and solidarity they felt with Shawols. The story in the MV is showing the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) the members went through and how they have now at the end of the MV started to find their way out of it and have made the choice to keep on running and continue on as a group, etc. But I could go on and on ... every part of this MV has a deeper message and meaning, you just have to open yourself up to the fact that everything in this MV has multiple meanings and purposes. We see Minho with those oranges, which is really just a giant pile of orange peels, because this part is supposed to depict how he is blindly just going through life, not even able to process what is happening around him. He is not even looking at the peels. It is like his body and mind is on autopilot. Even in their live performances of the song, they don't look at the camera. This was done deliberately as well because they wanted to show how in their grief they were blind to everything that was going on around them and they were closed off to the world and didn't care what was happening outside of themselves even though the world was watching their every move. The part where Key smashes the piano is only one example of of how SHINee shows how they felt for a while after Jonghyun died -- they were angry at everything, including music, and in a way they were blaming "music" and their careers for what happened, and in the MV they were taking their anger out on the piano, etc. Yes, the plastic sheet and them flailing under water is supposed to represent how they felt suffocated in their grief and how grieving while in the public eye made them feel trapped at times, etc. Every scene, every image, every movement in their dance, every look, every moment they stand still or look blankly, etc. is very deliberate and is there for a reason. This comeback is part of a three part release celebrating SHINee's 10th anniversary. So they released 3 mini albums with 5 songs each in their The Story of Light trilogy and they had 3 comebacks each 2 weeks apart to showcase their lead track on each of their albums. "Good Evening" and "All Day All Night" were their comeback tracks from Episode 1, " I Want You" and "Who Waits for Love" were their comebacks from Episode 2 and Episode 3 was "Our Page" and "Tonight". Their comeback lasted 6 weeks to represent the fact that it was SHINee's 6th "full length" album. At the end of the six weeks they released a special final MV to celebrate their anniversary and all they have been through over the past 10 years with their song "Countless." "Countless" was an epilogue track that was added to their repackaged Story of Light album. Before this comeback SHINee had just come off their SHINee World Concert V (SWC5) world tour and the members were doing solo activities as they worked on what was going to be an epic 10th anniversary comeback. With Jonghyun's passing, that set them back a few months because they were grieving. It also took time to figure out how they were supposed to function without Jonghyun. But SHINee never really stopped working. Two months after Jonghyun died, SHINee held their SHINee World -- The Best from Now On Concert in Japan and they pretty much were working nonstop until Onew, Key and Minho's enlistment. That concert had originally been planned as part of their 10th anniversary celebration and it had already been sold out. So SHINee felt obligated to honor their fans and continue the concert despite everything, which meant some extra work, because they already had been planning everything with Jonghyun. So they had to quickly go back to the drawing board and figure out how to do it with only 4 members and still honor Jonghyun's memory. In SHINee's fan meeting/concert for their 10th anniversary the members all vowed that SHINee will always be 5 and that Jonghyun will always be involved in everything they do. I think we are always going to have reminders of him in all that SHINee does from now on, and that is the way it should be. He was loved and will never be forgotten, and when possible, should always be involved in things that have to do with SHINee. OT5 forever and ever. I think we can feel Jonghyun's presence and influence in this album and songs because a lot of what made SHINee's sound uniquely SHINee (and this album is no exception) was because of Jonghyun. He not only shaped SHINee's sound because he was the main vocal of the group, but he also wrote and composed around 40% of SHINee's songs, so he can be felt in everything they do. It wouldn't be SHINee if we didn't hear his influence shine through in their music, that is what makes SHINee's sound so unlike any other. And, because of that, I think from now on we will always be searching for the hidden messages and moments that represent Jonghyun in everything SHINee does. For example, SHINee almost always leaves a space open in the middle of their choreographies where Jonghyun originally would have been, and even in their new performances they leave room for him in their dances.

I don't know. I can understand not wanting to dwell on something that makes you sad, but I think avoiding Jonghyun and his story are doing such a disservice to Jjong and what he brought to the table as a solo artist and member of Shinee.

I love that Jonghyun's mom started the foundation to help idols with their mental health. I see their fundraising marketing posts from time to time. It's a desperately needed support system for idols. I think it's okay to comment on the beauty found within the video. As an artist I look to beauty to help me process grief. It's cathartic. I am sure the artists and musicians who worked on this video meant for the viewer to find some peace and even hope for a better future after watching it. It's harder for me to watch the concert footage from the 2018 Japan concert. Phew, that's something to watch.

One that you might more readily understand is a more recent RV track, "Cosmic", which takes some of its visuals and motifs from the 2019 Swedish horror film _Midsommer._ Of course, to be acceptable to general Korean audiences, it cannot and does not delve into the true horrors. In general, Red Velvet excels at contrasting bright, happy sounding music against dark or supernatural visual themes. The comparison to Harry Potter is quite valid, one could almost think of RV as the "Wizarding World" of KPOP, especially in songs like "Really Bad Boy" (RBB), "Zimzalabim", "Queendom", or "Birthday".

Great reaction!

Fun fact: this video features a predebut cameo by ZanyBros artist AleXa, wearing the red jumpsuit in the background of Wheein's scenes on the merry-go-round and as the study group leader with the striped shirt and glasses. AleXa is the only in-house artist at ZB, the video production company created a music division to hire her!

Loving your reaction 🩷 Pizza, diamonds, glitter dresses...and some sacrifices. lol Anyway, if you haven't seen it, our cult leader, Irene, had a solo debut a few days ago (November 26). Personally, the song-and actually the whole album-is soooo good

Girls weekend with Red Velvet takes on a whole new meaning.

No cute concept? Say you've only watched a couple of title track M/Vs... Check out AOA Black live (band concept).

you should check out the whole album. it is pretty great.

good choice

Minho recently realised new album! Please react to his CALL BACK MV 😊

Solid boppy song, as expected.
