"Blue" was Onew's solo debut and it was released Dec. 5, 2018 which was less than a week before he enlisted in the military, so he didn't even have any promotional activities for this song or album. Onew officially left for the military Dec.10, 2018, so his "Voice" (name of the album) was meant to keep us warm in this "Blue" world for the next 18 months, until he is discharged. What a powerful sendoff Onew gave us with this song and MV. (Unfortunately, no live performances of this song yet because he didn't want to make a big deal about his enlistment, so he just released the album and quietly went off to fulfill his duty -- he didn't hold any goodbye events, and he asked fans not to show up at his enlistment location the day he left. He also didn't have any big fanfar when he returned in July either.) You are right, "Blue", both as a song and MV, is a masterpiece and it's full of symbolism. Not only does it tell the story of everything Onew and SHINee went through over the past few years, but it also is a sort of goodbye song to all the fans and a song to show how much Shawols' support has meant to Onew and how the fans are what gives him strength, etc. SHINee are known for their vocals and as an SM Entertainment artist it is no surprise that Onew is shocking you with his voice, because you can't be an SM artist without having amazing dancing and singing skills, that's just a fact about the type of people SM selects to be a part of its company. How I interpret the story in the "Blue" MV is it's all about the struggles Onew has gone through over the years and how he is searching for a "sense of belonging". If you remember, SHINee's official symbol and lightstick is a diamond, and that's the official symbol for this song and album -- a diamond with 5 faces. If you hold SHINee's lightstick up to a solid surface you will see the reflection the diamond makes is a five point star, with each point representing one of the members. SHINee's fan color is pearl aqua blue/green. So the blue light he refers to in the lyrics is talking about SHINee's blue light that represents the fans and the members and everything to do with them as a group. Hence the multiple meanings of the title of the song, "Blue." In the MV the diamond is reflecting 5 mirror images, one of the images is cloudy or covered in dust, which probably represents Jonghyun and the fact that even though he is not with us anymore, he is still part of everything SHINee does and he is still very important to Onew. The way I see it, the blindfolded people represent Onew's scandals and how the public is judging him. They are judging him blindly, without actually seeing him, and don't even care about the truth. About 2 years before this, in 2016, Onew was involved in a sexual harassment scandal where he was accused of groping a girl at a nightclub when he was drunk. The story that was told is that he was extremely drunk, to the point where he couldn't even stand without help, and while trying to stand he grabbed the girl's leg. She eventually dropped the charges, but the police still investigated. Onew spent several months in seclusion, out of the public eye during the investigation and it wasn't clear whether the Korean public would ever forgive him or allow him to come back. However, he was eventually cleared of all charges after paying a large fine, etc.. And just when it looked as though SHINee would be able to get back to normal activities again, it wasn't long after that that Jonghyun died. Onew's birthday is Dec.14 (Onew will be 31 this year) and Minho's birthday is Dec. 9 -- Jonghyun died Dec. 18, 2017. So as you can see a lot happened in the span of 2 years, so "Blue" reflects on all of that. There are 3 fish floating in a protective glass bubble which I see as representing the 3 remaining members -- Minho, Key and Taemin -- which Onew feels like he needs to protect as the leader and oldest of the group. The white rose is also in a box, and some say it represents the fans and how by putting them in a protective case Onew is saying how precious the fans are to him and how he wants to protect them.
The shooting star, represents many things -- his family, his members and fans, etc. --- that are guiding him back home, after his scandal were he lived isolated. It was almost as if he was saying he was trying to follow the star's path but then something happened that derailed him and made him lose his way, (probably Jonghyun's incident), and for a while he was no longer able to see his "home" from afar anymore. His expression is sort of shocked and afraid, and then he sees the same people that judged him once again looking at him, but more intensely, which was represented by the fact that the blindfolded people grew and became more menacing as things started to pileup. It was almost as if they were judging him, like they were blaming him for everything that happened. And that is probably how he felt all along. But then you see the shooting star make a path directly to where he was standing, which lit up his path and allowed him to see again. The star also provided light to the diamond once again, which helped Onew finally find his way back home. Back to a place where he is starting to feel safe, accepted and loved once again. He put the diamond on the table, and in its reflection there was shown 5 diamonds. If you notice one of them is blurry ... but even though you can't see all 5 of them clearly anymore, they are still 5. I also see the fact that in the end when he puts the diamond back on the pedestal it's almost as if he is saying he is putting the fans and his members and everyone that is precious to him, etc. on a shelf for safe keeping while he is away in the military and he will be back for us once again when he comes back. I think in the end what he is saying is that he has finally accepted everything and is starting to come to terms with it all. However, he is still not 100% OK or happy yet, but he is slowly getting there. It's the power of the light that is produced by the 'diamond" -- which represents the power from the fans -- that has helped him to find his place in this "Blue" world and to come to terms with everything. That's just a little bit of what I took away from this MV, but I know there is so much more that can be discovered from it and so much more meaning behind every detail. We could probably go on for days analyzing everything and come up with multiple meanings for it all. :D Onew did pretty well with this song and album, he received some pretty good feedback for his first solo debut, and we wouldn't expect anything less from a member of SHINee. :D i am so proud of him!! Onew topped iTunes charts in 28 counties, topped the world charts and was No. 1 in the U.S. with this album all soon after release. Fun fact: All of SHINee's members' first solo albums have one word titles and they all rhyme. Taemin's "Ace," Jonghyun's "Base," Onew's "Voice" and Key's "Face." The joke within the fandom is that Minho's first solo album will probably be named "Race" because of his well known love of sports and his need to always win and to always push himself to be the best. The members have said the reason why they deliberately name their albums in this way is to show everyone that no matter what they do they are always a group and SHINee is very important to them. It's a way for the members to show their solidarity as SHINee even when doing solo projects.
I wanted to write this all down, thanks for doing it faster and in a very clear way. However, I think Rose represents Jonghyun and star/crystal shawols. Some fans turned away from him when this scandal dropped, but most believed in him and thank God charges were fully dropped. I think Rose is a Jonghyun as to follow up little Prince story
@@aura5572 I think we are actually both right. There are many parts of this MV that can be interpreted in many different ways and actually have multiple meanings. As I said, I could go on for days explaining every minute detail and give you many different interpretations of the song and MV, but it would take way too much time and I don't have enough space in one comment box. ;D Many also say this MV is based on the Korean drama "Mother." and that is where the main theme comes from. Thank You for your comment. Feel free to add more information or your thoughts. I don't think anyone really can be wrong, it's however you interpret it depending on your own personal feelings and experience. That's what music is all about.
@@milindawilson9175 ah nah, I was not correcting you, I just connected Rose to little Prince and I think Jjong's simbol became hand held rose on many social platforms. As you mentioned MV is based on many events and I thought Rose would be him. Also, thanks for letting me know about the film! I will look it. Up! ❤️
Lol Onew is about 31 years old (onew is the oldest and the leader of shinee) Shinee isn't that young. They are all 25 and above lol I was dying 🤣. Shinee still be looking like little kids. This song is also like 2-3 years old. You should also read what the song is about, its so beautiful and emotional.
To be exact, Taemin turned 27 in July and Onew will be 31 in December. Key just turned turned 29 in September and Minho will be 29 in December. So you are right, they are not that young. But they are some of the youngest in second gen. :D
Gwavy did you know before SHINee was a group Onew would go to the rooftop of the SM company building and would practice with Taemin singing, so you can thank Onew for being Taemin's first vocal teacher. He is a kind leader. Kind to all his fans. He is so playful on stage. You will see his kindness on stage when you meet SHINee someday.
"Blue" is the main theme of the album "Voice" and it is a ballad that speaks of the deepest feelings of finding oneself. It is an extremely personal and sincere work, and because it has many symbols it ends up being difficult to interpret. But that's for me being an artist, expressing your deepest feelings and turning them into something beautiful and worthy of admiration.
The mv was inspired by the movie called “mother” by Darren aronofsky. But the general storyline of the mv is about loneliness and the diamond he takes is to restart the day to fix mistakes and make things better
Onew’s voice is so enchanting in Blue, so emotional, which jives with the MV. His voice is very versatile and he jives it with the melody of the song he’s singing to, the feel and the atmosphere.
Actually Onew released BLUE as title to his FIRST SOLO ALBUM VOICE last 2018, same time he enlisted in the army. And he was already 29/30 years old that time (far from the 20-ish you thought his age 😅😅). He looks soo young!!
This is one of favorite songs ever. Onew had experienced hard times at that time and Jonghyun was the big part. The 5 gems means 5 members of SHINee and the flying light in the sky is... you can guess. After this album, he enlisted the military.
Thank you!! Your reaction makes my day. This song and mv has a deep meaning as noted in the other comments. It's more on that dark chapter - from Onew's scandal, some fans asking him to be removed from the group, and then Jonghyun. Btw this is from his album Voice which was released just prior to his enlistment in military. Note: the members first solo album names sound alike: Ace (Taemin), Base (Jonghyun), Voice (Onew), Face (Key). Taemin even joked that Jonghyun plagarized his Ace album and Jonghyun said yes he did because it's all connected. The other member seemed to have done that too. Shows they still have each other in mind even when they do their solo work.
ohhhh - you did it and reacted to Onew - Blue, thank you so much!! It is one of my absolute favorite songs. Onews voice is so beautiful, the song and the MV so meaningful. Knowing the background and the symbolism in the MV makes it so powerful. Onew is the kindest, sweetest person and best leader. He brings so much joy to us with his sunshine smile, his honey-voice and smart brain.
Onew is 30 now. He was about 27-28 when this came out! They all look like lil babies though. I need to look into their skin care regime for sure! (Too late for me, I'm old). And the lyrics? DEEP for sure. "This Blue night, something calls me from afar, is it light or is it darkness?"
Onew was born in December 1989, he will turn 31 this year. The Blue MV was posted in December 2018, when he was 29 years old. Anyway, Thank you and I love your video reaction to SHINEE, you have positive vibes.
My bias :-) I love his voice sooo much thank you for your reaction . Please react to his songs more "Lullaby, starry night, voice album, nessun dorema"
Onew was a week from turning 29 when this MV was released. He's just very baby faced lol. When SHINee debuted in 2008, the members were aged 14(Taemin) - 18(Onew), which was unusually young for a new kpop group. It's been 12 years since then so they're not that young anymore, but it often feels that way because they started so early.
You should check the lyrics. Its beautiful. Anyway according to fans interpretation of the mv, it about him,Shinee and family. 1. The diamond represent SHINee's symbol which is diamond & their lightstick is a shape of diamond. 2. There are 5 mirrors & if u notice 1 of them is kinda dusty which people assume that is representing Jonghyun (one of the member that passed away) 3. The blindfolded people are those who blindly judging him due to his scandal (he was accused of sexual harassment in aug 2017 which made him took time off from any SHINee activity & step down from his role in a new drama) which later on proven to be innocent. 4. The 3 fishes in the protective glass represent the remaining members (Key,Minho & Taemin) while the rose in the other glass might represent Jonghyun or his fans not sure about that. As the leader & the oldest of the group he wants to protect his members. 5. The shooting stars represent support from his family, friends and fans guiding him back from his scandal after being on hiatus for months. He was following the light until something happened. (Jonghyun's death due to depression) 6. The giant blindfolded people represent the hate & judgement growing & blaming him for what happend to Jonghyun. 7. At the end, he found the light from the shooting star again to find his way back. SHINee named with the meaning receiving light from fans. However, this might not be accurate because he never elaborate this video & it just from fans interpretation. Also, despite having a great vocals & this is his first solo album he didn't promote it much as this was his gift before enlistment. His face never really change his he debut but he was 28/29 years old when he did the mv 🤣. He is known as the fake maknae (little brother/youngest)
The harrassment thing was really just an accident when he was in a pub, he tripped and landed on a certain girl who accused him. But later on cleared Onew as well. But people were so quick to judge back then even if they didn't know the whole story. Thank you for your nice comment, hope he finds this well :)))
Wow an Onew reaction 😍 If you want to see more of him you make check out his live performances of Rainy Blue (with Taemin playing the piano). Lsk Nessun Dorma. He also has a powerful duet with Jonghyun called Please Don't Go. You'll be amazed with his vocals
Please react to Key too : -KEY 키 'Forever Yours (Feat. 소유)' MV ruclips.net/video/BJUjR2N0aEM/видео.html (Its his first song after Jonghyun Passed Away, He apparently do Some dance move that Jonghyun've done before & have some element in his Mv who remind Jonghyun but its difficult to say Which one "personnaly i don't remember except the dance move " but some of Shawol knows that's why i know it now). Please React to this too: -KEY 키 '센 척 안 해 (One of Those Nights) (Feat. Crush)' MV ruclips.net/video/TZWSW90lybM/видео.html -Key [키] of SHINEE Feat. VINXEN [빈첸] - I Will Fight Color Coded Lyrics/가사 [Han|Rom|Eng] (its a beautiful song with EngSub dedicate to Jonghyun & you can see by the lyrics) ruclips.net/video/kw0SZeQe5Fs/видео.html -KEY 키 'I Wanna Be (Feat. 소연 of (여자)아이들)' MV (The last song that he've done for Now) ruclips.net/video/_E5JtAcc3cY/видео.html All his song are really great
😍😍😍😍love love it. This song is amazing and has a Deep meaning. Onew's voice is wonderful an UNIQUE! He was able to hold a note around 40 seconds. Love him as much as I love Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Love your reactions!!! 😊😊 Rainy blue by Onew Don't go by Onew ft. Jonghyun
At the beginning of the video you see one diamond that's reflecting in the mirror to make five diamonds. This represents the 5 members. The song is about what he went thru in 2017 there was an incident that onew went through a scandal that caused alot of people to want him removed from the group. When everything was settled people judged him. That was what the big people were about. Standing over him judging him with there eyes closed. Then losing jonghyun shortly after that. So this is onews song about his struggles. So beautiful! And very sad the lyrics are also amazing. Thank you Gwavy for bringing us such a gift.
You're channel is my favourite now.💐 I would love to recommend you to react to Rainy Blue by Onew & Taemin, also Nessun Dorma by Onew. It is so amazing. 😍
Love your shinee marathon, I look forward to it every day! Since Key is coming back from the military next week, as well as Minho in november, I can't wait for you to react to their first comeback in 2 years!
I hope you get to listen to the whole album. And it you try fine the sub in English I'm telling you if you like this song the album is amazing please is call The 1st Album VOICE .All Shinee members are very talented singers and to me they are the best ♡
My leader one of the best voices in the World with his brother , he is one of my Bias with Jonghyun and for a good reason, was his voice in Minho drama with the song *In your Eyes* that made me look for SHINee and the first song that I watch was Symptoms and the first voices tole my heart as well and that was Jonghyun and untill today I never was able to choose, for me Onew and Jonghyun voices are in the same plan are different but powerfull at same time, about Onew He was 28 almost 29 at that time, the MV was relese on 5th of December and his birthday was 14 h mean 9 days before his birthday. The blind people represent the people that without know him accusin when he had the scandal in August 2017 he was wrongly accused of sexual harassment. and in December 17 when Jonghyun accident occur the same people accuse him louder ( big people) The 3 fishes representam Key, Minho and Taemin that he need protect being a leader and the big brother The white Rose can be the fans or Jonghyun, some fans say that he don't need protection anymore, I don't agree with that, Jonghyun name was used wrongly for months afer he left and untill today unfortunaly apart he need protect Jonghyun position in SHINee as forever member(my thoughts) The Diamond, the Star and the colors blue and green(Pearl Aqua) represent Us SHAWOLS and SHINee, is what give us and them the strength to keep on At the end still 5 diamond reflecting in 5 mirrors no matter if you can't see one very clear He still there And you can see the circle start over again, like he need pass through this pain and hope everyday until he will feel okay again This is the way I see this MV
Blue as an MV was literally about capturing the feeling of being "blue" as in sadness/loneliness. This ballad I believe was about the harsh things that SHINee went through, especially him as a leader. How he was putting the blame on himself for the things that happened. The MV was very metaphorical, and theories says that the people with blindfolded eyes/without hearts symbolizes the harsh and mean comments thrown at him. The rose was Jonghyun, and the fishes inside the balloon/bubbles are the remaining members that he wanted to protect (Key, Minho, and Taemin). The diamond was SHINee and shawols, his home and reason to continue in his journey as an artist. FUN FACT: Onew was 29 in this mv hahaha. Thank you, Gwavy!
Hey G Wavy! Please Check out Black on Black by NCT 2018! It's a performance MV and it has 18 members (at that time, now there is 23) and their synchronization is crazy! You gotta check out the MV and the dance practice. The dance practice is better than the MV.

Our lider is so talented! His vocals are amazing! Thank you for the reaction and support to SHINee!!
This is one of favorite songs ever.
Onew had experienced hard times at that time and Jonghyun was the big part. The 5 gems means 5 members of SHINee and the flying light in the sky is... you can guess. After this album, he enlisted the military.
Onew doesn't age. For real, he just...doesn't.
Thank you!! Your reaction makes my day. This song and mv has a deep meaning as noted in the other comments. It's more on that dark chapter - from Onew's scandal, some fans asking him to be removed from the group, and then Jonghyun.
Btw this is from his album Voice which was released just prior to his enlistment in military. Note: the members first solo album names sound alike: Ace (Taemin), Base (Jonghyun), Voice (Onew), Face (Key). Taemin even joked that Jonghyun plagarized his Ace album and Jonghyun said yes he did because it's all connected. The other member seemed to have done that too. Shows they still have each other in mind even when they do their solo work.
ohhhh - you did it and reacted to Onew - Blue, thank you so much!! It is one of my absolute favorite songs. Onews voice is so beautiful, the song and the MV so meaningful. Knowing the background and the symbolism in the MV makes it so powerful.
Onew is the kindest, sweetest person and best leader. He brings so much joy to us with his sunshine smile, his honey-voice and smart brain.
Thanks for this reaction👍!!!
Onew is 30 now. He was about 27-28 when this came out! They all look like lil babies though. I need to look into their skin care regime for sure! (Too late for me, I'm old). And the lyrics? DEEP for sure. "This Blue night, something calls me from afar, is it light or is it darkness?"
I love all your SHINee reactions. Onew is my bias. His voice is so unique and I wish that one day he can release an all English album 🤞
Just remembered, have you watched Onew’s Nessun Dorma Tokyo Dome and/or Rainy Blue Tokyo Dome?? Coz.. fidge theyre up there too!! So good!
Onew was born in December 1989, he will turn 31 this year. The Blue MV was posted in December 2018, when he was 29 years old. Anyway, Thank you and I love your video reaction to SHINEE, you have positive vibes.
The vocals tho 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😭
Masterpiece
Minho "i'm home"
Onew forever my bias ultimate from kpop
My bias :-)
I love his voice sooo much thank you for your reaction . Please react to his songs more
"Lullaby, starry night, voice album, nessun dorema"
Onew was a week from turning 29 when this MV was released. He's just very baby faced lol. When SHINee debuted in 2008, the members were aged 14(Taemin) - 18(Onew), which was unusually young for a new kpop group. It's been 12 years since then so they're not that young anymore, but it often feels that way because they started so early.
Yea finally . Please react to Onew’s nessun dorma its sick.
Yes, yes, yes Onew. I'm so happy I didn't miss this.
Please react to Onew Rainy Blue. His voiceee😍❤
You should check the lyrics. Its beautiful. Anyway according to fans interpretation of the mv, it about him,Shinee and family.
1. The diamond represent SHINee's symbol which is diamond & their lightstick is a shape of diamond.
2. There are 5 mirrors & if u notice 1 of them is kinda dusty which people assume that is representing Jonghyun (one of the member that passed away)
3. The blindfolded people are those who blindly judging him due to his scandal (he was accused of sexual harassment in aug 2017 which made him took time off from any SHINee activity & step down from his role in a new drama) which later on proven to be innocent.
4. The 3 fishes in the protective glass represent the remaining members (Key,Minho & Taemin) while the rose in the other glass might represent Jonghyun or his fans not sure about that. As the leader & the oldest of the group he wants to protect his members.
5. The shooting stars represent support from his family, friends and fans guiding him back from his scandal after being on hiatus for months. He was following the light until something happened. (Jonghyun's death due to depression)
6. The giant blindfolded people represent the hate & judgement growing & blaming him for what happend to Jonghyun.
7. At the end, he found the light from the shooting star again to find his way back. SHINee named with the meaning receiving light from fans.
However, this might not be accurate because he never elaborate this video & it just from fans interpretation. Also, despite having a great vocals & this is his first solo album he didn't promote it much as this was his gift before enlistment. His face never really change his he debut but he was 28/29 years old when he did the mv 🤣. He is known as the fake maknae (little brother/youngest)
The harrassment thing was really just an accident when he was in a pub, he tripped and landed on a certain girl who accused him. But later on cleared Onew as well.
But people were so quick to judge back then even if they didn't know the whole story. Thank you for your nice comment, hope he finds this well :)))
You should really check out his live performances of Rainy Blue, Nessun Dorma, and Please Don't go which he sang with Jonghyun. All pretty amazing!!
Wow an Onew reaction 😍
If you want to see more of him you make check out his live performances of Rainy Blue (with Taemin playing the piano). Lsk Nessun Dorma. He also has a powerful duet with Jonghyun called Please Don't Go. You'll be amazed with his vocals
Onew and Jonghyun duo will forever remain superior
Onew is the leader and he dropped this right before going into the military so he was 28 in this MV he is currently 30
I appreciate someone who reacts to real talent and such a good voice like the one Onew has. He deserves more recognition.

Rainy blue by Onew
Don't go by Onew ft. Jonghyun
At the beginning of the video you see one diamond that's reflecting in the mirror to make five diamonds. This represents the 5 members. The song is about what he went thru in 2017 there was an incident that onew went through a scandal that caused alot of people to want him removed from the group. When everything was settled people judged him. That was what the big people were about. Standing over him judging him with there eyes closed. Then losing jonghyun shortly after that. So this is onews song about his struggles. So beautiful! And very sad the lyrics are also amazing. Thank you Gwavy for bringing us such a gift.
I remember that and at the time i was more worried for his mental health and then jonghyun let go and it really shocked me
You're channel is my favourite now.💐
I would love to recommend you to react to Rainy Blue by Onew & Taemin, also Nessun Dorma by Onew. It is so amazing. 😍
yayy I would love a Q&A!
Love your shinee marathon, I look forward to it every day! Since Key is coming back from the military next week, as well as Minho in november, I can't wait for you to react to their first comeback in 2 years!
I like it a lot. OMG, yes, sums it up!! Check out Nessum Dorma. Mind blown. AND Rainy Blue, which he sings with Taeminnie on the piano. Sniffles
ONEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
I hope you get to listen to the whole album. And it you try fine the sub in English I'm telling you if you like this song the album is amazing please is call The 1st Album VOICE .All Shinee members are very talented singers and to me they are the best ♡
Omg not many people react to this! Man you got taste👌🏻
He is so talented !! My respect to him ! Sorry for my English , please react to TAEMIN SOLDIER AND GUESS WHO LIVE PERFORMANCE BUDOKAN !!!
Everytime I listen to this, I feel like Onew would be perfect for a James Bond song 😉
My leader one of the best voices in the World with his brother , he is one of my Bias with Jonghyun and for a good reason, was his voice in Minho drama with the song *In your Eyes* that made me look for SHINee and the first song that I watch was Symptoms and the first voices tole my heart as well and that was Jonghyun and untill today I never was able to choose, for me Onew and Jonghyun voices are in the same plan are different but powerfull at same time,
about Onew He was 28 almost 29 at that time, the MV was relese on 5th of December and his birthday was 14 h mean 9 days before his birthday.
The blind people represent the people that without know him accusin when he had the scandal in August 2017 he was wrongly accused of sexual harassment. and in December 17 when Jonghyun accident occur the same people accuse him louder ( big people)
The 3 fishes representam Key, Minho and Taemin that he need protect being a leader and the big brother
The white Rose can be the fans or Jonghyun, some fans say that he don't need protection anymore, I don't agree with that, Jonghyun name was used wrongly for months afer he left and untill today unfortunaly apart he need protect Jonghyun position in SHINee as forever member(my thoughts)
The Diamond, the Star and the colors blue and green(Pearl Aqua) represent Us SHAWOLS and SHINee, is what give us and them the strength to keep on
At the end still 5 diamond reflecting in 5 mirrors no matter if you can't see one very clear He still there
And you can see the circle start over again, like he need pass through this pain and hope everyday until he will feel okay again
This is the way I see this MV
Onewwwww
I've been waiting for this jinki (onew's real name is jinki by the way) reaction!!
Blue as an MV was literally about capturing the feeling of being "blue" as in sadness/loneliness. This ballad I believe was about the harsh things that SHINee went through, especially him as a leader. How he was putting the blame on himself for the things that happened.
The MV was very metaphorical, and theories says that the people with blindfolded eyes/without hearts symbolizes the harsh and mean comments thrown at him. The rose was Jonghyun, and the fishes inside the balloon/bubbles are the remaining members that he wanted to protect (Key, Minho, and Taemin). The diamond was SHINee and shawols, his home and reason to continue in his journey as an artist. FUN FACT: Onew was 29 in this mv hahaha. Thank you, Gwavy!
thanks for reaction
THANKS G 💓💓💓
key I wanna be 👌🏽✨🤩♥️♥️
Lol he's the oldest, born in 89. MV came out in 2018.
Hey G Wavy! Please Check out Black on Black by NCT 2018! It's a performance MV and it has 18 members (at that time, now there is 23) and their synchronization is crazy! You gotta check out the MV and the dance practice. The dance practice is better than the MV.
Please react to suzy yes no maybe dance practice close ver and rainy blue by onew
