    People were pretty stunned in the first few years of his solo work because the image he had had within SHINee previously was things like androgynous, feminine, and pure-souled. As a soloist and later with SHINee as well, people quickly saw how bold, dramatic, strong and sensual his presentation could be. So I would say that Danger was the glimpse into that, and he very quickly started doing things that nobody else was doing, especially breaking down gender barriers in dance, which he is still doing. So it’s funny- SM wanted him to be more feminine in SHINee, which he rebelled against, then SM wanted him to be much more masculine in his solos, and in the end he is SM’s ACE because he refused to comply with either, choosing instead to pursue his own identity and desires.

      So when Taemin said he's different than people think, was he trying to get away from the androgeny? He's so well known for mixing genders.

    One thing to know about kpop in 2014 is that is was still VERY uncommon for kpop idols to release solo albums while still young and active with their groups! It's common these days, but Taemin was one of the first.

    So glad you reacted to “Danger.” You we’re quite right, there were no artists or songs in k-pop that were even remotely similar to this at the time. Also, you can see clearly the journey Taem has taken since. He has always been groundbreaking. You will see his raw talent when watching early SHINee. The beginning clip in the dance video was with the choreographer in LA, and then with the dancers in the SM studios in S.K.

    From a really young age Taemin was inspired by MJ so can probably see influences in this mv....but Taemin has taken his craft to a whole knew level especially since move and made a knew genre...and then came criminal which blew everyone outta the water with his artistry and concept( which was his idea)...this man is pure art in the finest form and I cant wait to see what he brings to the industry after military...saying that, everyone you see in kpop are mostly influenced by SHINee and Taemin at this stage because they are basically the blueprint of PERFECTION, from vocals, live performances and knew concepts, but SM chose Taemin to debut at an extremely young age to take the the industry to the next level....which is Danger, I hope you continue on the path to discover the genre which is Tpop.
    .I recommend you watch Famous mv and dance practice next...it's true artistry

    "Danger" is Taemin's first single off his solo debut album Ace from 2014, so this was Taemin when he was 21 years old. (He is currently 27, and he was only 14 when he debuted with SHINee in 2008.) Taemin is just as popular as a solo artist, as he is a member of SHINee. As you have discovered, this is why Taemin is easily considered the BEST dancer in Kpop. You need to see him perform "Danger" at one of SHINee's Japanese concerts. If you think he was amazing in the MV, just wait until you see it live. ruclips.net/video/aNNM4fh7ekA/видео.html
    As you can see from "Danger," Taemin's nickname is the Korean Michael Jackson for a reason. The concept for "Danger" was supposed to give you that MJ feel. That's why this was his debut single instead of the album's title track "Ace."
    Michael Jackson has been one of Taemin's idols since he was a little boy. Believe me, it is not lost on him, SM or, least of all, fans, that he dances like Michael Jackson. But that's not the only reason why he is considered the Korean MJ. Taemin just has something special and his whole aura and being on stage radiates awe inspiring magnificence. He just embodies what it means to be a performer, similar to what made MJ so unique, special and legendary. If you want to really see Taemin pay tribute to Michael Jackson, just search "Taemin and Michael Jackson" or "SHINee and Michael Jackson" on RUclips. There are several clips of multiple performances where Taemin and SHINee have performed tribute dances and participated in performances with Michael Jackson songs.
    This dance was choreographed by Ian Eastwood, a well known young American choreographer -- this was Ian's first Kpop collaboration -- and I am sure he choreographed this dance to fit Taemin's natural dance-style not the other way around. Taemin did not just learn this choreography he merely perfected it LOL. The beginning of the dance practice video was showing Ian and Taemin dancing together at Millennium Studios in Los Angeles, California. Taemin met Ian in California to learn the choreography. However, the dance practice was filmed back in Korea in SM's dance studio. It's the same studio that pretty much all of SM's dance practice videos were filmed in back then. (If you have seen EXO's dance practices for their first few songs such as "Mama," "History," "Growl," "Love Me Right, etc., you would recognize the room.)
    The more you get to know Taemin and SHINee, the more you will see that the way Taemin dances is just the way he moves. His movements are effortless. The more you watch Taemin dance, you will see that no matter who choreographs the dance, it will always be uniquely Taemin. Many choreographers who have worked with him over the years have said that, with Taemin you can't help but allow him to move in whatever way his body takes him. Taemin is art in every sense of the word. :D
    Yes, "Danger" is timeless. That is kind of what SHINee is known for. As SM's experimental boy group SHINee are trendsetters and trail blazers. They are expected to create songs with styles and sounds that have never been seen or heard before and yet have a timeless appeal. (Just look at SHINee's debut song "Replay," which is considered one of the best debut songs of all time because it is so timeless that it never goes out of style.) And that even translates to the members solo work. That is what makes SHINee so popular and why they are still one of the top groups and artists in the industry even after more than 13 years.
    As the other members of SHINee say, "Taemin can wear anything and pull off any look and it always looks good on him."

    He always had a cute image being the maknae (youngest) of SHINee, but SM wanted him to have a strong and edgy image for his solo debut. There is a bts somewhere where he mentioned being nervous and unsure of suddenly changing the image his fans were used to, but seemed kind of excited to try something new.
    He had very little control around his debut, but his recent albums, he had a lot more say with the style, production, directing and choreo.

      I’m not sure if I would describe it as “very little” control. When he debuted, the theme and styling choices were reminiscent of a lot of his solo stages in SHINee concerts. At that point, I’m sure creative control was a strong component in SHINee’s contract. I do think SM would want more control in his first debut, especially considering Taemin was the first soloist from SM’s core groups. However, I would be surprised if Taemin wasn’t assertive about his opinions and ideas. I would also say SM solos have done a really good job reflection the soloist’s individual colour, and I definitely agree his creative control has significantly increased from then to now.

    Loved your reaction! He really is a trailblazer and a person who stands out from all of his fellow contemporaries. I’ve been a fan of SHINee since 2008 and yes, Danger was different to everything else that was happening around that time in kpop. It felt like Taemin’s personal take on hyper masculinity, and like he was shedding away his maknae image. I have a video on my channel titled “the sexuality of Taemin” where I deep dive into masculinity and male sexual expression through Taemin’s artistry. There is just no other soloist in kpop doing it like he is right now. Legend in the making ✨.

    Thank you for reacting to SHINee & Taemin! I'm not sure if it's been said, but when Taemin debuted as a solo artist with Danger, he was the first in the entire company to do something like this. SM has had other solo artists, but they've been solo artists from the start (like BoA or Kangta), rather than in a group and doing solo work while still in the group. Considering at the time, Taemin was one of the youngest artists in the company when he did all this is so mind-boggling to me haha. Anyways, I hope you get a chance to react to more of SHINee's music or their live performances, or each of their solo work! It's been really fun to see your journey and hear your thoughts.

    Ihopefully the next one will be Crazy by Jonghyun, the second member to debut solo 2 months after Taemin, and after Key with One of Those Nights, Onew with Blue and finally Minho I am Home. Taemin's album is ACE, Jonghyun is BASE, Key is Face and Onew is Voice, it's a game that Jonghyun started when he imitated Taemin's concept album and said that way they were connected even when they were doing something outside of SHINee and so rested from the members continued the tradition, we are still waiting for the Choice album
    of Minho which should be released in December if the rumors are true. , for now Minho only has one solo song
    funny story, if we think about it ACE has to do with Taemin being a dancing ace, about Jonghyun's Base has to do with his raw talent after all he was much more than a wonderful singer, his talent was deeper, isn't for nothing he wrote, composed and produced Base, at age 24, singing was just a Base, while Key is about Face although Minho is considered the Visual of the group everyone agrees that Key's beauty impresses very much, he even jokes that his position in group is his face kkk but his album is about Facing the fears, now Voice we don't need to say anything Onew has an amazing voice and his hope was that his voice would comfort fans, about Minho many fans thought the album would be called Race because he's very competitive, but I always found Choice more appropriate, especially when in an interview he answered a question about what he liked the most acting or singing, he said both equally, but if he had to choose it would be SHINee and that was His choice for that Choice is more suitable in my opinion, and this surname in the romanticized it is Choi kkk

Now a month or 2 after its not bad. The song grew on me. It's very in ur face, lol. He is very dangerous I agree. New Taemin bias here. Looking forward to learning more.
