No problem 😊
SHINee's "The Feeling" is a pre-release track as a gift to Shawols for their 15th anniversary, which I am pretty sure will be included on their 8th full length album Hard, set to be released June 26. How I interpret the lyrics is that the song is all about how the members want to feel our light shine on them again and they want to illuminate us with their light again. They are also making a point to let us know that we will always be together shining in each other's lives. One of my favorite lines of the song is, “I’ll be the light you seek even in dreams. Running parallel and right next to you.” Which clearly shows the bond between SHINee and Shawols. All the references in the MV have to do with SHINee's history over the past 15 years and what they have accomplished as a group and as solo artists, etc. For example, the map Minho has is a map of SHINee's history up until now including all their solo debuts, and the shot of the 5 apples falling on the No. 5 represents how they are always 5. I also interpret the "and..." as their way of including Jonghyun and Shawols in on their journey, saying SHINee wouldn't be SHINee without either of them. In the MV you see references to their solo journey, such as Onew searching for his sound, Key searching for his "taste" by taking a bite of the apples, Minho finding his way with the map as he explores where SHINee has been and where they will go in the future (As you noticed, the map starts out tiny, and at the end it has become huge -- every time they show the map it has grown 5 times larger -- representing how their map is constantly being expanded as they accomplish more and more in their careers and lives) and Taemin appears kind of lost as he searches for the right path. I see the plastic bags represent their solo debuts, as well as their connection as a group. The first person we see is Taemin because he was the first one to debut solo and his official color is yellow, then we see and hear Key who is the next of the 4 to debut solo and he is represented by the pink bag because his official color is pink, then Onew is represented by the green bag because his official color is green and the blue bag represents Minho. Some have also said they think Jonghyun is represented by the radio (FYI, his official color is red). In the end, what they were searching for, they find when they're together, which is represented by the big plastic bag floating in the sky, which is pearl aqua color, SHINee's official color. When the big bag explodes it releases all of the colors together, representing how they come together as a group, no longer individual bags. Next we see Key smile as he bites into the apple, Minho looks away from the map, Taemin smiles as he looks into the sky and Onew smiles listening to his headphones. I interpret the meaning as Key found his taste, Onew discovered his sound, Minho found the place where he feels most comfortable as a member of SHINee, and Taemin is no longer lost. Then we see them all looking up at the sky, which we think is them looking up to heaven and acknowledging Jonghyun's presence as the sun that shines down on them. We also see them happily running together, being free and living in the moment. In the end, we see Minho complete the circle, which I see as representing the fact that his solo debut completed SHINee's legacy. At the end we see the five of them together, with Jonghyun represented by the radio, as the light shines on them. We see that when they are together they create a light, which shows that they are the brightest when they are together.
Thank you for reacting to them, and enjoying Shinee so much! There is never a better time to enjoy them, 15 years is gonna be big for them. Theyre consummate, mature artists now. You always fine your next group precisely when you're meant to, and you have plenty to enjoy from them whenever you want.
You may have noticed that "Sherlock" felt like you were listening to more than one song because it's a special song that combines 2 songs from SHINee's album "Clue" and "Note." That's why the title of this MV is "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" If you were to listen to the album you would see that they are two separate songs, but when combined they become "Sherlock." So, in the MV you hear the mashup of the two songs. Therefore, as you may notice, Minho's whisper part in their live performance is different than what you heard in the MV because when they perform it live they chose different parts of "Clue" and "Note" to create "Sherlock" each time. So their performance is never exactly the same, which is one reason why SHINee's concerts are considered one of the best. No matter how many times you have heard a song or seen them perform, you will never get the same thing twice. SHINee are supposed to be detectives, so the choreography has been designed to give them Sherlock-like poses and to show them investigating clues, and taking photos, etc. That is why they do that Sherlock Holmes-style exaggerated march, and why you see them kneel down and draw a line on the floor, and why they hold their hands out like they are snapping a photo, and they have that move that looks like they are brushing dust from their sleeves, etc. SHINee was actually starting a fashion trend at that time. As you may remember, SHINee are known for being one step ahead when it comes to fashion because they are the ones that start the trends in Korea that eventually influence fashion trends around the world. Fashion designers actually covet a chance to work with SHINee, or any of the members individually for that matter, because they know that if they can get SHINee to wear their clothes that they will become super popular. And, yes, this was the era of Taemin with long hair. Although, in the MV, Taemin's really long hair was a wig. If you notice, he only has long straight hair during the dance breaks, but during the story sections his hair is much shorter and kind of curly. However, he really did grow his hair long for a while. Taemin with long hair is one of his most iconic looks. I didn't really like Taemin's wig look, but Taemin with naturally long hair is one of my favorites. (He is actually known for making girls jealous because his hair is so perfect.) Many people thing that Taemin with long hair made him look pretty like a girl, but I actually thing it's kind of a masculine look on him. Taemin's hairstyle also made him one of the most popular of the members with their Japanese fans. This was the era when SHINee really started to solidify themselves as Japanese artists, so Taemin's look had Japanese fans gravitating to them. (SHINee debuted in Japan in 2011 and now they are considered one of the most popular artists in Japan as well.) "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" came out in 2012 -- 4 years after their debut with "Replay." So Taemin is now 18 in this MV. Onew is 22, Jonghyun is 21 and Key and Minho are 20. The choreography for "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" was created by Tony Testa a very well-known "Hollywood"-famous American choreographer who has also worked with some of the most famous artists, productions and dancers in the world, including Michael Jackson. "Sherlock" was the first time SM (or pretty much anyone in the Kpop industry) had ever used a famous choreographer, and at the time, it was the most expensive Kpop production ever. Once again, SHINee were trendsetters and, because of SHINee's skill level, SM became the first to see the value in using a well-known choreographer to help create their dances and to strive for a level of choreography and video production that surpassed anything that had ever been done before. (Now, SHINee -- and numerous SM groups -- have worked with Tony Testa multiple times over the years.) Today it's common place for Kpop companies to have really famous in-house choreographers, and to seek out people in the industry who are really making a name for themselves to choreograph for them, but SHINee was one of the first. If you want to see the choreography even better you should check out SHINee's "Sherlock" dance practice video, or better yet, one of their live concert performances of "Sherlock (Clue & Note)." I recommend their SHINee World Concert IV (SWC4) in Seoul performance from 2015, kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2ikq7CamKXVgrw.html. If you think the MV is good, just wait until you see them perform it live. "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" live is on a whole other level.
Thanks!
As you may know, Atlantis is a mythical city that is part of a story within Greek mythology, referring to the Lost City of Atlantis. The story of Atlantis is most often depicted as a utopian society on an island that became submerged and lost in the middle of the ocean. SHINee's MV is referencing the lost city of Atlantis, so it's supposed to look like they are visiting Atlantis at the bottom of the sea. The whole MV is a reference to the story of Atlantis, which is why you see them selling seafood and why they are underwater, etc. As I interpret the MV, the convenience store is a cover for the fact that it sits on top of a portal to the city of Atlantis. To the average person, the store just looks like a regular store, but if you are in on the secret you know that if you head to the storage room or basement, etc. you will find a magical elevator/submarine that will take you to "Atlantis." I think that move in the choreography where Key and Minho make the circle is them gathering all their power and love and they are blasting it all to the fans (Shawols) or they are sending all their love to the girl who they are singing about in the song, etc. Like a superhero who is summoning all their powers. Because the SHINee members are sort of supposed to have power as the keepers of the portal to "Atlantis," etc. Plus, if I had to guess, it also might be something linking SHINee to SM's Universe. Most of SM's groups' storylines are connected in some way and they are all part of one big story. For example, I think the soda can we see appear in Key's hand in "Atlantis" is connected to the soda can we see in Key's solo "Hate That ..." MV. (However, I'm not yet sure whether the can magically pops into his hand in "Atlantis" because it is coming from its original location in "Hate That ..." or if it appears in "Hate That ..." because Key brought it from "Atlantis." ) Because Minho writes all his own rap sections in SHINee's songs they are all very meaningful, and are strategically placed in the song for a reason. If you pay attention to his lyrics you will see they have a lot of deep meaning and they enhance the story and add more depth to the song. For example, the long sss sound you hear at the end of his rap lines in "Atlantis" are supposed to mimic the sound of waves as they crash on shore or against the rocks, etc. Minho is actually quite poetic when it comes to his songwriting. You should check out the behind the scenes MV shoot for "Atlantis", kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKJq082MftXVaaQ.html, to really see how detailed everything in the MV was. Fun fact: Although all the aqua blue you see in this MV is supposed to represent water and the city of Atlantis, because SHINee's fan color is pearl aqua, all the aqua blue and green colors you see in the MV also represent SHINee as a group and their connection to their fans. Also, SHINee will forever be a group of 5, so, they always make sure to include Jonghyun, in everything they do. So if you pay attention to the choreography when the members put their arms on each others' shoulders, you see Taemin stretches his arm out as if he is resting it on an invisible person next to him, which is thought to be a nod to the fact that this is where Jonghyun would be, and even in other parts of the choreography they leave a wide gap in the middle, which fans also think was done as a reference to Jonghyun's spot in the group. Jonghyun was almost always the center position with everything SHINee does. Yes, all the members of SHINee have amazing high note abilities. Even Minho, who is the main rapper and has the deepest voice out of all of them, has been known to hit some impressive high notes on occasion. That is what makes SHINee so outstanding and why they are so highly respected in the industry. They are idols' idols and legends of legends for a reason. However, if you are impressed with Onew's high note in "Atlantis," just wait until you hear his cover of the song "Friend" in concert from way back in the early days of SHINee. Onew holds the record for the longest continuous note without changing tone or pitch at 40+ seconds. I'm not even exaggerating. SHINee are known as vocal kings for a reason.
Thanks for breaking it down for me 😀 You are a true SHINee expert!
How I interpret the story in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV is, the song is about a sort of love at first sight and thoughts of that person keep ringing through your head, so much so that you start to become obsessed with them. It's more than just protecting the girl or your love, but it's about wanting to have her all to yourself and not allowing anyone else to come between you, etc. (As the English part of the lyrics says, "Fantastic, elastic ..." because thoughts of that person are constantly bouncing around in your head.) In the MV, if you notice, at one point, you see all the members dressed in white and they are standing in an all white room looking into the mirror. However, the image they see in the mirror is not their reflection, but what seems to be their alter ego or inner self because you see their mirror images with brooding expressions and they have wings. But their wings are not white like an angel who is pure and good, they are grey like angels of darkness. So, maybe this is showing how their thoughts are not a pure and innocent love, but one of passion and possession, etc. You see them in the white room with the white clothes because I see that as showing how they are hiding their true selves -- on the outside people think they look innocent and pure, but once you get to know them they have far less pure intentions. When in their black and red outfits this is more their true selves. The only explanation I can see as to why they are shown lighting the candles without even touching them is a way to make it clear that they are different then what they seem and they may have "magical powers" that can be used to attract the girl and make her theirs, etc. I interpret the butterfly they talk about in the lyrics, and the ones you see them with in the MV, to represent the girl and how she is beautiful, and fragel and flits around in their life attracting them and distracting them, etc and they want to capture her and make her theirs. It is also thought that maybe SM Entertainment is now using the butterfly to connect the storylines between SM's groups. Some theories think that maybe SHINee's butterfly is connected to the butterfly we see in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs from 2012, which could also be connected to NingNing's butterfly in aespa's storyline from 2020, and it could even be connected to the butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, etc. The butterfly is thought to possibly represent the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline and could be the butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "ep. 2 'Next Level' -- SM Culture Universe" video, which would help to connect all of SM's groups' storylines together. Although SHINee's storyline my not have originally been designed to connect to anything outside of their group, I think SM has been using things from their older groups' MVs as "happy coincidences" in order to draw everyone into their SM Culture Universe storyline. Beyond that, I don't really have an explanation of anything else that is happening in the "Ring Ding Dong" MV. Most of it I interpret as just part of the aesthetic of what was the new cool think and what they were doing with MVs in 2009. The boys' hair and clothing styles and the aesthetic of the MV was supposed to give them more of a bad boy image, to sort of contrast the fact that when they debuted with "Replay" in 2008 they had a boy next door image and they were given the title as the nation's younger boyfriends -- people had a pure and wholesome image of them -- so they wanted to show that as SM's experimental boy group, people should never expect them to stay the same. SHINee will forever be changing up their image to show many different sides of themselves and all different styles of music and dance. "Ring Ding Dong" was showing a new side of SHINee. This was only SHINee's second comeback after debut, so it established their role as the ever changing and evolving group that was expected to keep setting trends and coming up with new concepts, styles and sounds. Fun Fact: Minho's long hair and Jonghyun's "Lion" hairstyle in "Ring Ding Dong" is such an iconic look. But Minho always hated this hairstyle, LOL. He has never liked having long hair. He begged SM to allow him to cut his hair and it took a few weeks before they would let him do it. They made him wait until they were done promoting for this album because their hairstyles were part of the album's concept. And therefore, Minho has refused to ever grow his hair out again. ;P Also, almost all of SM's boy groups had similar hairstyles during this time period. :D Take a look at Super Junior or TVXQ in 2009. Their hair looked like this too. hehehe. This was just sort of the look for Korean entertainers back in the day. SHINee were setting tends even with their hair. As you discovered, "Ring Ding Dong," is one of SHINee's most popular songs. This song is part of the era when auto tune was brand new and it was the new cool thing that everyone was using in their new songs. SHINee was ahead of their time when this song came out and it blew people away for its sound and style, which many had never heard before. :D This is totally the look and sound that was just becoming the new it thing back in 2009. "Ring Ding Dong" is such an iconic song and it's so catchy that it has been said that in Korea this song is banned from being played anywhere or listened to during college entrance exam time. When it first came out, students complained that the song would get stuck in their heads and they couldn't concentrate on their studies or on the test. :D This is also one of SHINee's iconic choreographies and it is one of the dances that every rookie group in the industry, both boy groups and girl groups, are required to learn and know, and most have covered the song and dance at least once in their career, even still today. If you want to hear the song without the auto tune then you need to hear them perform it live in concert. Try their live MBC music festival performance of "Ring Ding Dong" in 2016, kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaCN19Sok6_WmZs.html. SHINee's songs are always way different performed live. You will see how SHINee has grown.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the song and video. It really helped me understand more about the song, the video, and also SHINee's influence in the Kpop world. Yes,I will checkout the live performance.👍🏾😀
ATBO is a group formed off the survival show The origin AB or What and the group debuted on July 27 2022. They have 3 albums out, this is their 3rd one. The other 2 title tracks they have are Monochrome and Attitude. The one you said has a nice smile is seunghwan, if you like this I suggest you listen to the song "Just dance" off this album. They are all 2003 and 2004 liners
Danielle was usually called a fairy or a Disney princess because she had a kind, bright, humble and elegant personality. Then, on the one hand, I was surprised to be a voice actor this time. Somehow, a little improvement in singing skills is needed, but her atmosphere was rather surprising because it gave an atmosphere close to the original in 1989.
이 곡에선 가창력의 향상은 필요없으며 이것으로 완벽함. 이 곡에 R&B, 소울 감성을 넣었다면 곡을 망쳤을 거임.
Please reaction Yuuri-Betelgeuse🔥
Amazing. Huge talent!! Bravo!!
Loved your reaction ❤
I love this song. I agree with you one hundred percent. I was wondering how the song would end up. Whoever brought these artists for this collab was really thinking about this. The vocals blended so well together. Jimin and Muni Long singing together was great. JKVE vocals are great. They nailed it! I was able to understand the rappers. They were so good for this song. They have different styles, but it worked. I listen to this everyday.
💙🧜♀💙 Danielle has such a bright and sunny dispostion and she loves swimming - she makes a perfect Ariel 💖 👸 Thank you for a great reaction to NewJean's Danielle!
Danielle is half Australian and Korean. She would have been the pefect choice for the role.she is only 17.
💖Edna💖 Thank you for reacting to Newjeans, Danielle 🎵🎶💖
YEAH!! 5HINee is in the house!!!
Taemin is breathtaking in every way, simply a unique artist and genuin original, and even more to the list is his outstanding personality which makes everytbody loves and adore him, not only us Shawols, but people around him as well. That is not a common thing to any idol ( I mean in general, not only Kpop)-but then again, all SHINee is unique and adored in the industry in that aspect. Looking forward for more of your reactions of Taemin and SHINee. Keep up the good work ;D
I love this version
Amazing 😍
This is actually my favorite version, maybe because i really like Bossa Nova (brasilian beat).. loves your reaction ❤❤❤
Hey Miss Edna, when do you become an army? Looks like it's been Quite a while since you have all the BTS merch in your room🥺🥺🤧 So lovely to see Older and Elder ammis reacting and supporting.🥺🫰🏿🫰🏾🫰🏽
I have been ARMY since 2019! I have loved all kinds of music my whole life! When I found Kpop I fell in love with it!
@@EDSNotes1109 Ohhh how wonderful. And yes same with me, via BTS. Before so though, I was already into various music's. First it was Spanish (since, all of my life I lived in Spanish and Black neighborhoods), and i was interested in listening 🎧 to something other than English; and that was 3rd grade. And Rock like Abril levugne, Simple Plan, Green Day etc., Pop, and fell in love with Radio Disney: before after Jonas brothers. &Hannah Montana, HSM, and the like.
Then towards Middle school 7-8th grade, Other than Z100, KTU and The 2 popular African-American radio stations/Homes of hip-hop& RB, I loved Kpop/jrock. From5th grade and so on I watched Anime and Japanese music 🎶. Then in H.S. Korean music....thus Kpop and other non Kpop Korean musics. But the Korean part started with 'Boys Over Flowers' 🌺 or in Japanese, 'Hana dango Yori' the animation and manga. From then on. The rest was history. Oh but I also like some Bollywood and Nollywood films and Songs as well☺️😌 anything that floats my ears really.
please more SHINee 🥰🥰🥰
yes, KING is back 👑💖
SHINee yes pls
Thank you for reacting!!!!!
Whoa 🫢😳. We got a 8 minutes mini movie. They all look sooo handsome🥰. Their acting is so good. It looks like the 5 merged to Jungwon. Sunghoon protecting the girl. So excited for this comeback which is May 22. Thank you for reacting 💕
My boys!!!!🌙🌍👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Taemin’s already had 4 fan meetings with his fans in Seoul and he performed Criminal, Black Rose and Advice with his dancers plus a lot of his ballads. It was so sweet, so entertaining and everybody had so much fun. It was broadcasted live through Beyond Live platform. And now he’s preparing for SHINee fan meeting, which will also be available online :)
