The reason why the audience screams so loud and Onew cries during this performance of "Rainy Blue" is because this was Onew's first solo performance since having vocal surgery. It was a really scary surgery because there was no guarantee that he would ever be able to sing again, let along at the same quality as he did before the surgery. Onew spent about 3 months after his surgery not being able to speak at all in order to give his vocal cords time to heal and then he had to learn to sing all over again. This performance was proof to himself and the fans that he could still do it and that nothing had changed. ("Rainy Blue" is a cover of a Japanese song, which Onew has kind of made famous internationally. Onew is singing in Japanese.) That specific performance of Onew singing "Nessun Dorma" was performed in 2016 as a solo stage during one of SHINee's Japanese concerts, but it is not the first time Onew has performed this song, he has been performing it since SHINee's early days. Whether it's a performance from 2011 or this one from 2016, there isn't much difference -- his voice is a little more mature in 2016, but it was still impressive from the beginning. Onew is not trained in opera, but he had been training as a singer for more than 10 years when this performance took place, and he has an amazing range and understanding of his voice. He is also a musical stage actor, so he understands how to project his voice to the back of the theater and he knows how to tell a story through the performance of the song. One of the reasons why Key chose to come up with funny answers for that questionnaire is the fact that this Weekly Idol episode was part of their 10th anniversary promotions and so they have been on the show many times and had to fill out that same questionnaire almost every time, and they have answered those same questions dozens of more times for other variety shows. So, after that many years, it has become boring just to give a straight answer. What's particularity notable about the fact that Key said he is from New York, is the fact that he is fluent in English -- almost to the point you would think he is a native speaker. So, if you didn't know him, you might think he really was from New York. The amazing thing about Key's high note in "Like a Fire" is that if you listen to the original version on their album, he doesn't have a high note in that song. But during that performance, which is from their SHINee World Concert III (SWC3) in Seoul, he, out of nowhere, decided he wanted to add a high note. It's almost as if he decided he wanted to try and outdo Jonghyun who is the group's high note master and the one who has the high note right before Key in the song. :D That's Key's classic diva attitude. One slight error in this guide: Minho is actually the MAIN rapper of the group and Key is a sub-rapper. (To say Minho is the second rapper makes it sound like he isn't the one that raps the majority of the time in SHINee's songs.) Minho is credited with writing almost all of his rap sections in SHINee songs, which is proof that he is the main rapper. Minho will have songwriting credits on almost every one of SHINee's songs because he wrote the rap section. Also, Minho more than sings SOMEtimes, he sings just about as much as he raps in SHINee songs. He has the deepest voice out of all the members -- which is why he was made the main rapper -- so SHINee's songs don't often highlight his singing in the same way as the other members, but he is part of all of SHINee's harmonies. Also, by virtue of the fact that he is part of SM, means he also has an amazing voice. When you really get to know SHINee, you will see Minho has just as much vocal range as the rest of the members, and that is why SHINee's five-part harmonies are so outstanding. Minho is also known as a top athlete. He says these days he goes to the gym a couple of times a day to work out just because he likes to work out, but he is also crazy about soccer, and he plays basketball, baseball and golf, and he is good at track and field events, swimming and diving, etc., as well. And not only does he enjoy playing all those sports, but he is usually the best athlete on the field and he pretty much wins every time. There is a reason why Minho's nickname is "Flaming Charisma," and one reason is for his intense passion for sports and his need to always win. His dad was a minor league soccer player, and is now a coach and manager for a living. That is also Minho's classic iconic laugh. He laughs with his whole being and he lights up the room while doing it. In that same clip, Jonghyun fell down because, if you see that full clip, you will see that Minho was spraying water with a spray bottle and the floor was all wet. Before Jonghyun walked in the room the other members were playing around sort of making fun of a commercial they did for a Japanese ramen noodle company where they were each given a different dance move that they used to crush the noodles. Jonghyun's dance style was Krump, so he was over exaggerating his movements poking fun of that commercial and because the floor was slippery he fell down, which made Minho laugh even harder. :D Here is that full clip of Minho laughing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iclip7Nivq-6hJc.html and here is a clip of the original Ramen commercial that SHINee is in kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zsd4hbhp252cYmg.html Jonghyun was the main vocalist of SHINee, but one thing you need to know about SHINee, is that they are all really main vocalists, so they can all fill in for each other, and they have. However, Taemin and Onew are the ones that have most often been tapped to fill Jonghyun's parts in most of their old songs, and even the parts that I think would have been his parts in their new songs. Taemin learned how to be a singer from Jonghyun, so his voice and vocal range is most like Jonghyun's, that is why he is the one to fill in for him most often. Jonghyun wrote IU's "Gloomy Clock." He also wrote EXO's "Playboy" and Taemin's "Pretty Boy" and "Already." Jonghyun wrote "Pretty Boy" specifically for Taemin and it ft. Kai from EXO -- Taemin's best friend -- as the rapper. Plus he wrote dozens of songs that became SHINee's songs, as well as all of his own solo songs. SHINee's cover of Lady Gaga's "Just dance" was a special stage at a KBS award show in 2010. They were dressed the way they were because they were emulating Lady Gaga's style. That's the way Lady Gaga used to dress back then. Here is the clip of that performance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNl2gLifq9fNe2g.html If you notice, that last clip of SHINee playing charades, and Taemin trying to guess "suitcase," was at a fan meeting in Japan. So, they were all speaking Japanese. As you can see, SHINee are all fluent in Japanese. They are just as popular as Japanese artists as they are Kpop artists. Most Japanese people don't even consider them foreign artists. SHINee debuted as Japanese artists in 2011 and they spend about 50% of their career in Japan doing events and concerts, etc. For every Korean album SHINee also has a Japanese album, but their songs aren't just remakes of their Korean songs, the majority of their Japanese songs are exclusively in Japanese. And that also includes Taemin's solo career -- for every Korean solo album, they usually follows it up with a Japanese album, as well. So their discography is extensive. And yes, Obama actually talked about following SHINee at a press conference while he was president of the United States. That clip is 100% real. This Guide video was made in 2018, so to update the information, yes the other members of SHINee -- Onew, Key and Minho -- now also have solo careers. Onew and Key had their solo debut right before they went off to the military in 2018 and they both have solo albums. Minho also released his first solo single "I'm Home" that same year, right before he enlisted in the military as well. For an updated guide to SHINee you should check out their individuale guide videos next. The person who created the group guide has also recently released (released in the last year) individual member guides Taemin: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nq5lpZtp1cysaYk.html, Key: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6qFpdpqqMvNdZ8.html, Onew: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbFopa-cu5vGm2w.html, Minho: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdVpqJl6z6zec2Q.html, and Jonghyun: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bauhqtiI2sC8k30.html. As you discovered, SHINee are known for their live vocals and amazing dancing. They are known as CD-quality singers because they sound just as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. SHINee always sings live. The ONLY thing they are not good at is lip syncing so they avoid it at all costs, so when you hear SHINee singing 95% of the time it will be live. It's a running joke between the fans and the members that when SHINee lip syncs you can tell because it's very obvious. Yes, over the years they have become better at lip syncing then they used to be, but now they have gained the reputation as the group that always sings live, so unless they are required to lip sync for a specific reason, SHINee will always sing live. They have trained their entire career to be able to sing live and always sound flawless while performing extremely complex choreography. SHINee set the standard. That is why they are so highly respected among their peers. It is literally referred to as the SHINee standard. It's the standard all other groups strive to reach. You really need to check out some of their live concert performances because their stages are like none other. Their concerts last 3 to 4 hours straight and they perform nonstop and never sound out of tune or out of breath. They are also one of the best dancers in Kpop and they have some of the best harmonies you will ever hear.

Yes SHINee guide!!! This one was my favourite but I have to say 'WHO IS SHINee? A Member Introduction To The Princes Of KPOP (2021)' by Michelle Hawk is soooo good, it's recent and very well made with the right clips and info. I really recommend you watch this one too, on or off camera

The creator came up with a more in depth updated version I recommend watching. And def the individual guides, those are still pretty good.

I LOVE how Key named his dogs Commes and Des Garcons. Commes Des Garcons is a famous Japanese fashion brand based in Paris, and any true fashionista knows and wears their fashion. I'm 54 and I've known the brand since the mid-1980s, and they're still going strong to this day since 1969 (Label started in that year, the company was founded in 1973). Key is a proper fashionista. No cap!

SHINee's concerts are a different dimension and if you see their solos 100% you will not mistake them

Damn shinee was my first ever ult group and jonghyun was my ultimate bias as well. I was completely devastated after his passing, even my mum cried lmao but im so glad shinee is still going strong after all these years!

I literally refreshed for this, so excited! Onew cried during Rainy Blue because it was his first concert after having vocal cord surgery, he couldn't even speak for a long time and had to re-train his voice, it was also a song written by a singer who lost his voice due to the same condition. Key's dogs are named after a Japanese high fashion brand... of course! Don't be sad, it's never too late to become a Shawol! There are more complete and more recent guides out there, hence why Key and Onew's solo careers aren't mentioned, maybe you could do a newer one after you get through their music? There are ones with lots of behind the scenes clips rather than performances which I find helps with getting to know them more. Someday you will watch the Chemistry vcr and it will be life-changing. Wonderful reaction as usual!

Yes! Onew has famous killer ttakbam 3:16 . Some celebrities were curious and volunteered to experience the ttakbam. They said it hurts like hell they can literally tasted blood in their mouth 🙈

Key has a scare on his eyebrows. So that the 1st hint to identify key😂

i'd definitely suggest watching the individual guides from this same channel. they're still pretty accurate i think and definitely help with distinguishing the members and getting to know them further :) this video was fun! i'm glad you're enjoying your shinee journey

Thank you, RJ! 😃 Please, React to SHINee - Odd Eye @ SBS Inkigayo and “Comeback Special “ SHINee - “Prism”. 🙂

Thanks for react to Shinee, we can feel you like our boys... To thanks for that

Thank you for another great SHINee reaction- was really looking forward to this one. It would be great if you get a chance in the future to react to some other fan edits to learn more about their personalities, there’s so many hilarious ones covering their relationships with each other, Key and Minho acting like an old married couple, and loads more recently from all the lives they did together during car journeys with them teasing their manager and of course Taemin learning English. Also their appearances on variety shows and interviews are always hilarious

Just look at their eyebrows. One with a scar on the right brow and super glowing skin is Key 😊

I recommend watching very swank the member's individual guides, they go in-depth about the members & have more info about them in general

SHINee is the best thing happened in my life. I also wish If I could find them earlier. But later is better than never. I am happy you are getting into know them more. Thank you so much.

I literally kept checking over and over on the hour today waiting for this one and I'm so happy for it!!! Thank you RJ. I'm so glad you love them.

i love shinee bc they’re just so fun together 🤩

😇😇😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽We miss you Jonghyun❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ jeeez im crying but so happy to see this thanks for the video

There are some problems here. Minho is not the 2nd rapper. He is the main rapper and key is lead rapper

Thank you for your cool reaction. SHINee is incredibly beautiful group with brilliant music. Ww love them.

Shinee is the standard, their discography is very varied, their vocals are beautiful, they are not called the kings of live performances for nothing.

I used to love this guide but just yesterday i just found a very updated Shinee guide the one that said Princes of Kpop sometg. Ahh i wish u react to that cause i think that one is very well-made. But still, i love that u r enjoying them.

Glad you are wanting to know more about their personalities i think when you keep this up you will definitely tell them apart because they are so different from one another

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Dude, Onew and Key don't look anything alike. I could totally tell them apart before the guide. 0.0 This was my very 1st guide. It was good. I learned a lot. This was fun. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army 💜

i literally crying, i love these guys (including you) so much

thanks, please see F(x), they are like little sisters SHINee, also from SM ent. they have very good songs 🙏

Stranger was going to be the next song I recommended for you for SHINee (in addition to the SW4 stage you saw, watch their 2013 Japan stage - a VERY cool entrance and Taemin seriously channels MJ. LOL, Guess Who was going to be my next suggestion for you for Taemin solo. It's a really cool song. The stage you saw was Live at Budokan (Japan). Not once have I been able to listen to Rainy Blue or the opera song without getting chills - just stunningly beautiful. You probably will like Jjong's solo songs - very different! To help tell Onew and Key apart, watch their Relay Dance of Don't Call Me. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abmUnNGKq7Sao4E.html Onew is in the single-sleeve vest and Key has the white and dark diamonds. If you look closely at their faces, you'll notice that they really fit their respective personalities. Key looks like the impish boy who would pull a prank on you and Onew looks like he'd come along and comfort you afterward. Always loving your content RJ. BTW, if you're interested, I have a few other groups' vids that I think you'll enjoy. Let me know when you're ready for a ref.

yes we love obamawall, and you’ll get key/onew eventually lol. there’s another video i recommend if you ever feel like doing another video like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atV_h5CZ2ZvYio0.html a guide 2021 or their individual guides

The luggage lmao

thank you for loving SHINee...looking forward to ur next reaction!!:))

Very Swank also has an individual members guides, if you interested and want to know members a little better:) Also, I recommend you to watch "SHINee still setting the bar so high that no one can reach it (happy SHINee day)", it's pretty informative and interesting:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6qiiJiY1ZuoiJc.html

Onew also knows tap dance!

I'm so happy you reacted to a guide and I'm so happy you like Shinee so much! Their vocals are no joke and they are definitely kings of live performances! Can't wait for you to continue your journey with them! I was trying to help you and created some playlists for you. One for their MVs, one for live performances, one with more in depth information and compilations to show more of their personalities and how funny they are. I hope it will help you. (I included everything so you can just skip everything you already watched) All their (korean) MVs: m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLriq8zuqebM4hkUO644ydmBi3czQbAh0q Solo MVs: m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLriq8zuqebM56zMMn2B4BXxmY_1eXI_y3 Live performances: m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLriq8zuqebM5IBpfj56ceJRQlNl9qnySs Guides & funny compilations: m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLriq8zuqebM7-HZGbqyz5RMafFhANIlE8 If I add more I will let you know. I'm also working on a playlist for Taemin live performances! I hope these playlists are helpful ♥️

ahh i’ve been waiting for this one! :))

7:40 This clip always makes me laugh (^~^) 💕🦋

Yeah, this guide are great, but lack some information. Not a problem, however. You can do the individuals guide from the same creator of this group one, yes please!

Taemin is so cute he got a kind of Jimin face they are so similar

Hello love your reaction videos, can you also do a reaction with kai solo "MMMH". Thank you❤

Omg I'm so happy about this

My boys!❤️❤️

There's a newer updated SHinee guide titled seomthing like "Who Is Shinee? Guide". Please react to that instead! This one is too outdated to accurately represent them.

This is my fave shinee guide as a long time shawol, I know it isn't up to date with things, but the more recent & updated popular guide had too much misinformation & in a way reduced Jonghyun/shinee into something sad which I really dislike and don't recommend watching By the way, the same creator of the guide you reacted to made individual guides which are very good to watch Thank you for reacting to shinee, love your reactions, hope you have a nice day

Amber from f(x) another group from SM actually released an album with songs she wrote and produced in 2015 called Beautiful, so Jonghyun wasn't the first with She Is but most people know most about their bias groups when it comes to info. I'm not even sure Amber was the first.

This is my favourite group guide despite how brief it is but, in my opinion, this guide is good & doesn't have misinfo plus it doesn't focus on sad moments like how one of the recommended guides (the who is shinee guide) in the comment section here does

I love this guide. they have more in depth about the member's personalities & work in individual guides too. thank for watching

Hey waiting for Monsta X one day song too ❤️

React to MonstaX One Day

key has an eyebrow slit and onew doesnot have one!

Thanks Obama

Please react to a subpar guide to golden child

Why does everyone confuse key and onew 🤣🤣🤣

where can I watch the original video?
