it feels like Taemin in this video is really calling out the kind of scrutiny and expectations and hatred that he gets as a public figure and idol and to me that feels like a direct continuation of the themes on "IDEA" about fame and the different personas of fame. In "Advice" he's telling everybody that he can't be contained, that he will keep evolving and breaking out of any category that people put him in or stigmatize him with. And in the same way you have different personas here, some public and some private (I feel like when he is with dancers it is a public persona, and then when he is on his own it is a private persona, like Taemin in his own mind, a more naked Taemin--the masked Taemin and then the 'Bowser kilt' Taemin). Bowser kilt Taemin is locked in his mind in a claustrophobic space, and people can't see him because they can't get the key to his lock of his true self--but by the end of the MV he crashes the car and 'escapes' and is finally free. It's a self-destructive moment (with the white 'blood') but also perversely a freeing one of breaking out of a cage. It also feels like art is how Taemin breaks free and expresses himself--which is why the MV begins with him playing the piano, which was his entry into art and performance as a child, and how at 10:02 as he 'plays' the piano the image transforms and he reveals his inner, hidden persona
Very nice analysis, thank you. I appreciate Taemin's rebellious streak here. As with Pretty Boy and Famous, and after being scrutinized and directed for more than half of his life, Taemin is putting his foot down and calling his own shots now. He deserves peace and freedom on all levels. I expect he will emerge from the military transformed into his new identity, no doubt leaving his mark there as well. May his mind and heart continue to expand 💜
@@charismaticace8971 I agree with you. I've been reading deep analysis of the song and the MV on reaction videos, and I've been telling the OPs to post it on the official MV so more people can read it as well.
from what i understood in the "torso" line is that he destroyed it by inking all over (as a metaphor in this mv)...the torso everyone thirst's over(?)...ppl talk trash about the most normal things idols do....this song gave me don't call me vibes especially the taunting part...taemin DESTROYED all stereotypes in the most "taemin" way possible....this man is amazing🤯😌
this unexpectedly became one of my fav releases from this year! i literally haven’t stopped looking at the video and listening to the song like it’s so unique! loved your commentary about it!!
@@4Peace. are we talking about the same person?? bahaha i think we are! it is rian but she just cut her hair! i honestly don’t know any of the other dancers!
Taemin is in a class of is own, and defies all attempts to define him. He really is an artist. The MV is beyond amazing, and the song just grabs hold of you and won't let go :) It just feels like there's so much to discover, and so much left undiscovered, because, there are so many layers to this man's art. As always, thank you for another great reaction, I always learn something, and seeing you being such a fan like the rest of us is always fun ^_^
After this MV, please take time to listen and buy his other songs in "ADVICE", you won't be disappointed for sure!! I don't really know how to say but every single song is so mesmerizing in its own way. It's like a whole different genre in each song. I would buy all even if each song made and sold in a separate album that just has one single song. So worthy.
A wise statement says "even if taemin is not your idol, is your idol's idol". That's it 🙌 in every group there's at leats one fan of taemin (and/or shinee).
When you said the dance move is hard to synchronize at 8:12, made me wanna recommend you BoA's song Only One (Dance Ver). One of the dance move is that she and the dancers had to synchronize, she's in the middle front surrounded by dancers (the thumbnail in the MV). There's a part of choreo where she had to do a duet with one of the dancer. For live performance, she had other SM artists as dance partner (I only remember TVXQ's Yunho, Super Junior's Eunhyuk, and Taemin), in an interview BoA said Taemin is her favorite dance partner for this song.
Taemin had also done this dance with BoA over several years and the latest is especially heartfelt, especially after watching the progression (MAMA 2020?). I also like her mv she features him as an actor, not a singer/dancer.
TAEMIN represents what cannot be precisely defined in the approach to gender and role play in the MV music video, and the choreography is so multidimensional and unpredictable that it is difficult to classify it into a specific genre. T-POP
Thank you for reacting to this! He is really an amazing singer, dancer, performer. Also the fashion in every Taemin video is amazing, especially the crop top look was my favorite I think. By the way the girl's leg that you were talking about is Simeez and the girl with blue hair is Rian and they are both Chungha's dancer and choreographer. I just love them and it's really cool to see them with Taemin too.
TAEMIN es fantastico . Siempre rompiendo paradigmas. Es el rey del K-POP del performer Multipiesa su dualidad en escena es fantástica . Siempre sorprende por su versatilidad TALENTO .Cada vídeo que hace es ARTE MARAVILLOSO único Hermoso👑👏👏💎❤️💯
TY for the cool review,and I agree with you that Taemin is a Legend doing Legend things. He's making history with his art,being unique and original and I love him for that. He will be missed. Plz continue with more Taemin content it's cute when you catch a groove in the music! Makes me happy.😊
First, thank you for saying his name correctly 🙏🏼 second, until the dance practice comes out, you can check out the beyond live performance on SHINee’s RUclips page ☺️
I wonder if it was the same director as IDEA because there are a lot of similarities in the shots. I like this MV better but I like IDEA better as a song. Taemin makes real art
I'm LAAATEE but go and watch his reaction video with Minho, he explained a bit on the concepts and stuff, and listening minho's opinion as like a brother and member is pretty nice. One thing I said about the song is, some verses are sang in a way that made me feel like its a cassette tape being played backwards. And it adds to the vibe of the song (Taemin said the small room was meant to make the vibe to be like, unsettling/weird? I forgot the word but sth like different that makes u feel oof). Let's not talk abt dance, we know this is Taemin. He never disappoints he outdo himself everytime. I gotta admit though that this song might be a song that needs time to grow on some people that doesn't really venture into many song genres. But it's catchy as hell. Can't sing along to most parts cause damn I'd just get tongue tied with my limited korean but still, catchy
taemin will never, could never, and would never make a bad song 😩🤚🏽
true
Facts
agree
that’s on period 😍
Fun fact: taemin was wearing supreme crop top at end, the white one which was for ladies only. King broke the stereotypes once again
Noticed it immediately first time viewing and I love it soooo much
Awesome, just beautiful!
I swear he broke the stereotype he had. This man is impressive
taemin is the standard, I'm so sorry for those who don't know him, he's almost a music genre himself
wrong, HE IS a music genre
Not almost, IS.
The fact that he's enlisting and he dropped this.....he went crazy on this one
Taemin is the legend of legends. He is next level in everything he does.

Bravo!!! 👏👏👏❤
That is a nice analysis, indeed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts ^^
This comment needed on the Advice MV so people could read it and understand! Very well said!

I was smiling through the whole vid because of how much I'm proud of our king
My jaw left its place. I wasn't able to smile.
I was shook.
One and Only Taemin!!
Let’s hope he wears the supreme clothes on his comeback stage
Taemin is the Legend of Kpop.

Thank you! It's up there for me too.
Taemin is a kpop god at this point. Really. There is no one like him. I really feel sorry for people not knowing him now
also this is random but the girl with the blue hair is called rian! she choreographed a lot of chungha’s choreography like she’s insane
Who is the shorter female dancer in the back? She has a new short haircut in recent videos.
@@4Peace. are we talking about the same person?? bahaha i think we are! it is rian but she just cut her hair! i honestly don’t know any of the other dancers!
Taemin is a trend setter. Legend.
Taemin was,is and will forever be KOREA’s it boy
The flow is sick. It is the first thing i noticed during first listen.
Taemin is in a class of is own, and defies all attempts to define him. He really is an artist. The MV is beyond amazing, and the song just grabs hold of you and won't let go :) It just feels like there's so much to discover, and so much left undiscovered, because, there are so many layers to this man's art.

4:12 it's the sports bra underneath the crop top for me
WE STAN THIS KING !!
This may be my favorite Taemin vid ever.
Ha! You said that right after I typed it. With you on that.
Man, i loved this song, music video and dance. Taemin always delighting us 👌 ^^
Only Taemin can outdone himself!!!
After this MV, please take time to listen and buy his other songs in "ADVICE", you won't be disappointed for sure!!

King Taemin!!!!
hi I came back cos I'm waiting for Advice Studio Choom version reaction🥺
Thank you for appreciating Taemin,,,,always looking forward to your reaction
Just one sentence to describe this. How to breathe?
When you said the dance move is hard to synchronize at 8:12, made me wanna recommend you BoA's song Only One (Dance Ver). One of the dance move is that she and the dancers had to synchronize, she's in the middle front surrounded by dancers (the thumbnail in the MV).

True that. He’s super underrated! People should know abt his music and talents
TAEMIN represents what cannot be precisely defined in the approach to gender and role play in the MV music video, and the choreography is so multidimensional and unpredictable that it is difficult to classify it into a specific genre.
T-POP
When I see taemin's, REAL DANCER'S dance practice wearing in the end, Just OMG.
Thank you for reacting to this! He is really an amazing singer, dancer, performer. Also the fashion in every Taemin video is amazing, especially the crop top look was my favorite I think. By the way the girl's leg that you were talking about is Simeez and the girl with blue hair is Rian and they are both Chungha's dancer and choreographer.

TAEMIN es fantastico . Siempre rompiendo paradigmas. Es el rey del K-POP del performer Multipiesa su dualidad en escena es fantástica . Siempre sorprende por su versatilidad TALENTO .Cada vídeo que hace es ARTE MARAVILLOSO único Hermoso👑👏👏💎❤️💯
I dont know why but I wanted to se Zico or even G Dragon colaborate with Taemin in this concept.
TY for the cool review,and I agree with you that Taemin is a Legend doing Legend things. He's making history with his art,being unique and original and I love him for that. He will be missed. Plz continue with more Taemin content it's cute when you catch a groove in the music! Makes me happy.😊
Sooo amazing
Taemin is another level
What kind of void will he leave over the next 18 months? I always think the latest song is the best and then he goes and tops it.
"oh he looking gorgeous" sean you GET it my guy
😂😂 he is!!
First, thank you for saying his name correctly 🙏🏼 second, until the dance practice comes out, you can check out the beyond live performance on SHINee’s RUclips page ☺️
Cute kitty!!
I cannot be the only person who gets super excited whenever there's a cat in the background of Sean's videos...
Me too, so sweet!
I wonder if it was the same director as IDEA because there are a lot of similarities in the shots. I like this MV better but I like IDEA better as a song. Taemin makes real art
I was expecting more of a in depther choreography analisis type of a video whe i read Dancer reacrts...
See ya in 2023 T_T
jesus i’m so early
