Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! I was hoping you’d do an individual reaction video for this because it deserves it so much! Everything about this is seriously HARD-the beat, the vocals, the lyrics, the choreo, the fashion, the visuals, and the beats of Shawol’s hearts!!!!! The Princes are BACK for GOOD! I’m so proud of them. Honestly, Kibum, Minho, & Taemin did Jinki & Jjong proud for the SWCVI concerts…they *killed* it. I pray Jinki knows how much he is loved and that he gets well soon. ♥️ SHINee came back in true SHINee fashion-setting the Standard and breaking boundaries! SHINee’s BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you reacted to this song! We had the same reaction haha. PLEASE go over the album. It's honestly a no-skip album for me. SHINee never misses!
@milindawilson9175 said on 7/2/23 I think the storyline in SHINee's "Hard" MV can be interpreted in two ways. If you notice, the whole MV has a piano theme. For example, in the beginning when the scene becomes animated, it showed Taemin being pulled into the piano. And, if you look at the set with the brown walls, you will notice that it looks like the inside of a piano with the wooden hammers that create the sound when the keys are played on the walls behind them. And the lighted white screen is divided like the white keys of the piano with the people's silhouettes representing the black keys, etc. This could represent how music is what controls their lives and its what has trapped them in this world as artists. Which could be similar to the themes within Taemin's solo Never Gonna Dance Again album trilogy -- "2 Kids", "Criminal" and "Idea" -- and his epilogue "Advice." However, I'm also pretty sure that the whole "Hard" MV storyline is connected to SM's SM Culture Universe. The more I watch it, the more I see that seems to indicate that it's all connected. As with all the groups under SM Entertainment, their storylines are all part of a larger concept, kind of like a giant graphic novel or action movie series with a twist. SHINee's story, so far, primarily connects to EXO's and SuperM's storylines. Each group has their own individual storyline and concept, but when you put them all together there are threads of connections between the groups. You could sort of think of it like the Marvel franchise. Each of the Marvel characters has their own storyline, merchandise and fans, but the stories and concepts often overlap and connect. And with each new character that is introduced it expands on the whole Marvel universe. To understand how all of SM's groups are connected, you first need to be aware that it all began with EXO's origin story in 2012. EXO's concept is that they are aliens from Planet Exo who have been sent to Earth on a mission to find and protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force, while also trying to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, which are believed to be caused by the Red Force. The Red Force is thought to be here on Earth inflicting their evil agenda -- corrupting humanity and causing all the bad things that are happening in the world, such as war, hate and destruction of the environment, etc. And because EXO is trying to undo and prevent the Red Force from accomplishing their goals, the Red Force is also trying to take down EXO by capturing them, corrupting them and standing in their way, etc. With SHINee's "Hard" MV, I think when we first see Taemin in the black sleeveless suit, he looks very similar to what he looked like in his SuperM debut teasers, which could mean that this could be connected to SuperM's storyline. SuperM is the Kpop industry's very first supergroup, which debuted in October 2019, and their concept and storyline is centered around the fact that they are Avengers-like superheros, so SuperM is the group that pretty much connects all of SM's groups together. SuperM is made up of members of SM's other male Kpop groups, such as Taemin from SHINee, Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV. This group's storyline is that they are coming together to help EXO battle the Red Force, which is the evil villian or group within EXO's storyline. As "The Avengers," SuperM is taking members from each of SM's groups and joining forces to take down the Red Force. And just like how the movies "Avengers Identity War" and "Avengers Endgame" eventually had each of the Marvel Avengers members recruiting their whole crew to help in the fight, I think SM is setting it up so that all of its groups' members will eventually be brought into the battle. I also think the story in "Hard" even could be connected to Taemin's "Advice" storyline. We see him with his hands painted blue in "Hard," similar to his black ink stained hands and body in "Advice," and in both scenes we see him standing in front of/playing a piano. (Technically, Pearl Aqua is SHINee's color. However, before LED lights were invented, creating a wider range of colors -- making way for SHINee's official Pearl Aqua color -- they used blue and green in things to do with SHINee. That's why we still see blue, green and aqua with most things SHINee related.) Some have pointed out that the scene in "Hard" with the silhouettes behind the screen reminds them of the scene in Taemin's "Criminal" MV, with the people behind a screen pushing their hands into it. However, in "Hard" Taemin is standing in front of the screen, rather than walking through the middle with the two sides reaching for him like in "Criminal". Although, I also think that scene could be connected to EXO's storyline, because we see in EXO's "Tempo" MV a scene where there are silhouettes behind a lighted white wall that looks very similar to this. In EXO's storyline, the people behind the wall are thought to be EXO's alter ego clones, who were created by the Red Force, or they could be the EXO members who are trapped behind the wall. We also see EXO fighting with their silhouette shadows in their live concert performance of their song "Wolf," which is also thought to be EXO battling X-EXO as they search for the Tree of Life. Ever since SHINee came out with "Don't Call Me", I think the storyline in that MV was supposed to be SM bringing SHINee into the SM Culture Universe. In their "Don't Call Me" MV it looks as though the SHINee members go through some sort of wormhole as they are teleported somewhere and we see them all posing in their black outfits like they are getting ready for battle. This looks very similar to the scene in SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV when the SuperM members are coming together at the beginning of "Jopping." Therefore, because Taemin is a member of SuperM, I think SHINee is supposed to be getting ready to join SuperM in the fight against the Red Force. In "Hard" we also see Taemin standing on a grate as he crouches down and looks through it at the "people" in white trapped below, similar to his scene in SuperM's "Jopping" MV. The scene with Key standing with all the dancers in white sitting in a circle around him also seems to be an important part of the story, however I'm not sure what it all means yet. We see Key remove the mask of one of the guys and we discover the guy has a glowing blue earpiece, which seems to be suggesting that they are being controlled by outside forces. However, because they are all just sitting there without moving, it seems to indicate that they are currently "shut-down". Either these people are androids or robots, like in EXO's "Lucky One" MV, or they are people who are under mind control. Although, I don't think they are being controlled by the Red Force necessarily because we don't see any trace of red anywhere in that scene. Instead, the color we see is blue, which usually within EXO's storyline means that it represents something to do with EXO, who are the good guys. Plus, as I said, blue with SHINee usually represents SHINee and their connection as a group. Minho standing on the edge of that rock formation looks similar to the scene with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon standing on the rock in the middle of the ocean in Key's solo "Hate That ..." MV, and it also looks a lot like the scene in SHINee's "Don't Call Me" MV, with Key standing on the submerged phone booth. It all has the same feeling. (Notice how they also are all wearing red in all of those scenes. Red usually represents something to do with the Red Force.) In the next animated scene, we see what looks like Minho in the red jacket fighting with the same piano key ropes that pulled Taemin into the piano in the beginning. To me, it looks like its trying to keep him trapped within the piano and under the control of the music. However, in the following scene, we see the giant piano has been destroyed behind them, which could represent how music no longer controls them, but they now control the music. (As SHINee has said, in the beginning of their career they did whatever they were told to do, however, now that they've been in the industry for more than 15 years, they have learned how to be their own artists and it has afforded them the opportunity to now make their own decisions about their music and to participate in creating the songs and designing their albums, etc. They are now the ones in control.) In the last scene at the end, it reminds me of the same menacing red atmosphere as Minho's rap section in their "Don't Call Me" MV, where we see him in an all red room with chairs hovering above him. Therefore, I think the gloved hand is Minho's hand because it looks like the same gloves that Minho is wearing in the scene right before that where they are dressed in black. Although I don't know what that means yet, I am sure it is something to connect the storyline to something within one of SM's MVs in the future or will make more sense when more of the story is revealed as SM releases the next chapter, etc. But you should also know, that no one really knows for sure what is happening in any of the story. There are well known theories and storylines that are accepted within the fandom, which we think might explain what is happening in each MV. And there are theories about how each MV is connected and where each falls within their larger storyline, but nothing is set in stone. Fan theories are constantly evolving and changing with every introduction of a new piece of the puzzle. New things are revealed with every MV release, concert, event, or appearance, etc., which could either add to or change the storyline.
Oh Landon, the entire album is amazing, hopefully you can react to all of it. The last song Gravity is very special because it was written by a shawol and blinger so she said it was mainly inspired in Jonghyun. I'm in love with the album, all of the songs are good, and I like them all, but I've been jamming to Like It, 10x, Identity and Satellite as if there's no tomorrow!!! They went Hard with this album! 😀
I absolutely love your reaction to this video. Shinee never disappoints and keeps getting better and better. It's hard to believe that they have been together for 15 years and are still relevant. They are my favorite group and I have been anxiously waiting them to produce new music and I absolutely love it. ❤
They always show a different version of themselves with this unique essence and what I love, they evolve with their music. I love rap and melody and the bridge is divine. There's a lot of symbolism and Taemin said there's a lot of references to him in there but oh my gosh I'm obsessed with the album. I will add that I see that they refer to hate and being trendsetters and strong and I look at how they prepare their
YES YES YES! I NEEEEEED you to go over the album! I've been sitting here waiting for your reaction to post because I KNEW you'd love it 😆I also love this SO MUCH and think that as amazing as they've always been and still are, they just KEEP GETTING BETTER! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I got excited to see your reaction and I wasn’t disappointed. How many f**ks were there? LOL. SHINEE’S album needs your reaction because of the great songs. Love this song!
Thank you, Landon! As always, your personality shines through as you honor our dear SHINee 💜 I hope you have time to review the album because it's beautiful, as expected from this brilliant, unique, and powerfully creative ensemble of artists. And they are all having a blast!
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. I was thinking wondering if Shinee would change their sound again for this comeback and they did. They experimental so u just have to accept the sound as is, lol. I liked some of the fits. I liked parts of this. I did not like the rhythm on 1st listen. I had to relisten a few times like 5-10. The song is not bad now. Loved Taemin's long hair. He and Key looked great. I felt callbacks to Taemin's songs with his hands covered in black not blue. And of course the piano. They are incorporating their solo works into their group song. Love it. The circle reference is for Onew's solo song. Spotted it because of another reactors' comments. =0} Music connects us all. They will destroy the current music scene and remake it. Maybe. I think it may mean all of it. I think this does sound like their old experimental stuff. It gives me Don't Call Me vibes and that song still is not my vibe. This one was not for me in the beginning. My HS pal recently heard the song. She likes it but told me it was probably an NCT song and should have gone to them, lol. I don't listen to NCT. I like hard songs with a great balanced production. And this one took some getting used too. I did check the album out on Spotify. The Feeling was there which made me so happy. I hope u check out that song too. It has an MV. Liked how Taemin explored rap further in this group song. He gave us a little before enlisting. Hope u check out Juice.

Thiiiss soooong!!!!! Soooo goooooooood!!!!! And I listened to the album yesterday, well, it shot straight up to being my favourite album of the year hands down - and there's been a lot of good music so far! Thanks for the reaction ❤
I love the album, haven't stopped listening to it yet. So I would like to see you react to more of the album, I think you'll love the whole album as much as you like Hard.
I am so glad you reacted to this! I knew you would because its Shinee. I hope you will react to the whole album because its a masterpiece! I almost died this comeback. They were all serving and I'm here for it!
I'm happy you like this MV and song so much haha I guess this one really splits the fandom, many - me included - don't love the song / genre too much. They slayed nevertheless and proved they could be a 5th gen group 😂 Listen to the album, I love Satellite and Sweet Misery the most ❤
I'm waiting for you to listen to the entire album bit as usual with them the live is even better. Please do watch identify and juice live from their swc 6
i will never get use to the kpop structure of their music. it feels like two or more different songs sometimes even 8 different once. if they just settle for one it would be much better for the ear. BTS is the only one i have heard who is really good at making songs that have these beat changes, but not as much that it sounds totally different, but just enough to make the song more interesting (idk what i am saying but i hope it make since hehe). but i can´t help getting confused when i hear the noise music as i call it. new jeans and the song from cupid is the new kpop i feel like or i hope it is. that is really good and can be replayed. most kpop songs don´t have the same replay value, not in my book. although i don´t really like BP music they are actually doing catchy beats and songs that can be listened to over and over. BTS is the best because they offer songs that fit everyone. and it is so different from the last song they did. this has nothing against the group or other groups it´s just a general opinion on most kpop music.
That strong "OH FUCK" is so relatable 🤣🤣
I think that was everyone's reaction XD
PLEASE DO! I need your reaction to the bsides, they're awesome!
UP
Yeah!!! He also NEEDS to watch Beyond Live performances of the new songs (and Body Rhythm) He'll be thankful afterward ♡
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! I was hoping you’d do an individual reaction video for this because it deserves it so much! Everything about this is seriously HARD-the beat, the vocals, the lyrics, the choreo, the fashion, the visuals, and the beats of Shawol’s hearts!!!!! The Princes are BACK for GOOD!

I love watching reactors who really love and appreciate SHINee! Thanks Landon!
HELLOAAAAAAAAAAAAH HARD IS A FANTASTIC SONG BUT IF YOU SEE THE VIDEO OF THE SONG JUICE YOU WOULD GO CRAZY, CRAZY WE ARE WAITING FOR IT
I'm so glad you reacted to this song! We had the same reaction haha. PLEASE go over the album. It's honestly a no-skip album for me. SHINee never misses!
The looks and the moves and the sounds comin outta Landon 😂 WE GOT SHOOK

"are you fucking kidding me" is exactly the right reaction to this comeback
"Taemin serving the country and serving K-POP". I love your reaction.

Oh Landon, the entire album is amazing, hopefully you can react to all of it. The last song Gravity is very special because it was written by a shawol and blinger so she said it was mainly inspired in Jonghyun.
I'm in love with the album, all of the songs are good, and I like them all, but I've been jamming to Like It, 10x, Identity and Satellite as if there's no tomorrow!!!

I absolutely love your reaction to this video. Shinee never disappoints and keeps getting better and better. It's hard to believe that they have been together for 15 years and are still relevant.

I will add that I see that they refer to hate and being trendsetters and strong and I look at how they prepare their

Taemin said the MV is full of Easter eggs about their solos work. There are 2 moments with the drawings, the first is Taemin mastering the piano (he is the ACE), the second one is Minho running away (the CHASE). They both are the beginning and the end of their debuts. Key discovers the FACE of one dancer, and Onew is showing his VOICE (with Blue paint) with a high note. I'm pretty sure there is something for Jonghyun too, I haven't figured it out yet.

I was waiting for this!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA SAME REACTION. You totally GET ME. I enjoyed this reaction way too much
oh you get it! People that get it, get it! The album is FIRE! Different styles in one album
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I laughed so hard xD
Thiiiss soooong!!!!! Soooo goooooooood!!!!! And I listened to the album yesterday, well, it shot straight up to being my favourite album of the year hands down - and there's been a lot of good music so far! Thanks for the reaction ❤

I'm happy you like this MV and song so much haha I guess this one really splits the fandom, many - me included - don't love the song / genre too much. They slayed nevertheless and proved they could be a 5th gen group 😂
Listen to the album, I love Satellite and Sweet Misery the most ❤

plz react to minho waterbomb body rhythm plz plz
i will never get use to the kpop structure of their music. it feels like two or more different songs sometimes even 8 different once. if they just settle for one it would be much better for the ear.
BTS is the only one i have heard who is really good at making songs that have these beat changes, but not as much that it sounds totally different, but just enough to make the song more interesting (idk what i am saying but i hope it make since hehe).
but i can´t help getting confused when i hear the noise music as i call it. new jeans and the song from cupid is the new kpop i feel like or i hope it is. that is really good and can be replayed. most kpop songs don´t have the same replay value, not in my book. although i don´t really like BP music they are actually doing catchy beats and songs that can be listened to over and over. BTS is the best because they offer songs that fit everyone. and it is so different from the last song they did.
this has nothing against the group or other groups it´s just a general opinion on most kpop music.
Try listening to their new album - tracks 3-10 might be right up your alley with the vocal harmonies and more simple song structure ☺️
HELLOAAAAAAAAAAAAH HARD IS A FANTASTIC SONG BUT IF YOU SEE THE VIDEO OF THE SONG JUICE YOU WOULD GO CRAZY, CRAZY WE ARE WAITING FOR IT
