To add on, Shinee also popularized the idea of debuting as solo artists while still being in their respective groups. While not the first to do so (The Bigbang members, Hyuna, and 2ne1 members debuted as soloists before them) there was something about Taemin's debut that specifically set off a chain reaction of solo debuts in 2014 to today. There's something intriguing about the fact that Taemin was the first SM artist that was already in a group to make a solo debut. It was only after HIS debut that some of his SENIORS in the industry like members of SNSD and Super Junior made their debuts, while still being active in their own group. Kpop is mostly known for their groups, but Taemin/shinee proved that you can be successful as a solo artist without having to leave your group. And I think him not technically being a main vocalist in his group, yet still proving his excellent vocals and performance presence, also played a role in influencing multiple idols to make solo debuts.

@JonathanMillerMusic Жыл бұрын

I think you absolutely can make the case for this! Taemin really did set off a chain reaction. While he may not have been the first, I think he helped normalize the concept. Something that still isn't super common outside of K-Pop, but if it ever does catch on perhaps in the west -we know where we can trace it back to.

@Walking_Spinel Жыл бұрын

@@JonathanMillerMusic absolutely! As a fan who's been following shinee since 2012, I couldn't help but notice a major influx of solo debuts specifically after Taemin debuted. Sunmi debuted only after WG disbanded, and when Hyuna made her debut, many people gave her more attention than her group members and then eventually the group disbanded while Hyuna is still around. Taemin showed that you can debut and explore new concepts and express your own individuality as an artist without having to separate from your group

also iirc it was seen as like,, a betrayal to debut solo before then. like fans would go after group members for debuting solo and accuse them of abandoning the group. it's now a much more commonly accepted thing and group fans want members to make solo debuts while still in their group.

IKR!!! I always say this!!! I was there to watch Taemin's debut and I used to joke with my cousins that he started a trend because after his debut, it was like everyone was solo debuting! We were SM stans, so it was a festival of solo debuts for us. We loved it and definitely noticed that it was because of Taemin😂❤

The thing about Jonghyun is that he wasn't really silent about his personal struggles. Of course nobody knew the full extent of it, but he was actually more open about mental health, both his own and in general, than I've seen most celebrities be, especially in kpop where there is even more stigma surrounding it. I really respected him for that and it made me feel less alone.

As a Shawol I want to thank you for this insightful video. This is one of the most well done videos on SHINee that I’ve ever seen. I really like how you touched on the mental health aspect in Kpop, it really needs to be addressed more openly and help needs to be given to any idol that is struggling. I have noticed since the tragic loss of Jonghyun, more Kpop companies are taking mental health seriously and giving artist time off to take care of their mental health. There is still a lot more that needs to be done but hopefully Kpop will continue to go in the right direction for the overall health of their artist.

Thank you. I've been with Kpop a long time and I agree with you. Seeing mental health become less and less of a taboo subject in Kpop is really a wonderful thing to see. We may have lost a few angels but slowly but surely things are changing and improving. Hopefully The Shiny Foundation will also continue to be able to help with that change too! 💙

From the bottom of my heart & soul as were your inspiring words came from, thank you Jonathan. I am simply a 57 year old post menopausal widow who has anxiety and panic attacks but also struggled in resorting to medicine. I only discovered SHINee 3 years ago and my life was never the same again. It might sound silly or exaggerated but I dont really care. SHINee has given me so much joy and comfort esp. during bad days. SHINee have accompanied me in my life journey. SHINee most likely will never meet me or know me but the amount of gratefulness I have for these 5 men is overflowing. I can never repay them personally but I will forever support and pray for their good health,peace of mind and true happiness because they deserve it and at the end of the day, it is all that really matters. God bless you Jonathan…🙏🏽

Like there’s a reason a lot of Gen2 kpop acts don’t have mega stream numbers, it’s because streaming gained wayyyy more popularity after the generation was beginning to shift into the next. Doesn’t mean they weren’t popular though! Hahaha I’m happy you enjoyed the vid! 💙💎💙💎💙💎

Several months ago I was working on a project to introduce my older brother (I'm 66, he's north of 70) to K-pop. He is a professional musician and sound engineer. I decided I would show him primary artists from each "generation" to show the evolving nature of this art form. And of course SHINee had to be one of those. Then I went in search of documentaries about SHINee's career and all I could find were the robot voices: Intro to SHINee. They are very well meaning. And Hearing the robots talking would send him around the bend. So I momentarily gave up on my history of K-pop and important artists of each period. Until today. Thank you for this incredible essay. The larger historical themes are so vital to understanding the music produced. You did that beautifully. Creating a context for these fine artists. And you handled the vital role that Jonghyun played/plays with such candor and sensitivity. Thank you. I'm on my way to make a donation to Shiny Foundation right now.

Amazing video. Never in a million years have i thought that i would be listening to kpop in my 20s, i used to be a grunge girlie and i looked down on kpop because i thought that it was soulless and mass produced garbage. SHINee literally broke every single stereotype i had about kpop and the kpop industry and taught me that it's okay to let myself have fun for once, and their discography is just so massive and diverse you are guaranteed to find something that you like. They've been consistently putting out quality music and performances for 15 years and continue to do so earnestly. It's also incredibly rare to find a group where every single member is talented and successful in so many different fields and they're the first and only sm group so far in which every single member is a soloist. I always joke that SHINee's is actually sm's first supergroup even before unique because every single member is talented and successful. Jonghyun opened the door for so many young songwriters to became kpop idols and taemin's influence on junior idols is undeniable and i could even argue that the success of his solo career is the reason why so many idols are getting chances to debut as soloists as well. Their choreos set the current standard for kpop dances, they were the first group to perform such difficult and intricate choreos and the fact that they're such great vocalists makes it even more impressive. Their laid back fashion during odd inspired so many different stylists and marked the change from stage costumes to refreshing and youthful trendy clothes. They're industry icons for a reason and they've been achieving constent success even though they were never sm ent's priority

My faves were BoA, Shinhwa, Fly to the Sky, DBSK. Smtown christmas and summer music videos were amazing. Shinee came in after I was jaded from SM’s treatment of DBSK and starting to get bored of kpop in general. They were another 5 member vocal group ~but younger~ and their skinny jeans put me off. Then JoJo and ring ding dong happened and they’ve had me in a chokehold ever since. Anyway, thanks for coming to my tedtalk, loved the video!!

I can't imagine how it must have been for our 5HINee hyungs, friends and family, and not at least Shawols, that tragic day in December 2017. I can never be grateful enough discovering 5HINee in May 2021 (with Love is like Oxygen) and learned about their tremendous bond together, and how Jjong ALWAYS will be present, and 5HINee will ALWAYS be 5 !! And more so, this bond reflects to us Shawols, where I have found the most warm and caring fandom in the whole industry! So proud to be a Shawol, and so proud to support our OT5! They are truly unique artists, because the label "idol" is not sufficient enough. They have moved beyond being "Princes of Kpop" to be the "ACE of Kpop. When they strated in 2008, they where diamonds in the making, and today we can enjoy and support these beautiful full shining diamonds. Not only are they on a whole other level in their artistry and gorgeous, stunning visuals, but their characters and personalities are unique as well. How can we not be in awe in a whole package like our 5HINee hyungs!! Every day is a 5HINee day, so lets SHINE!! HAPPY 15th ANNIVERSARY!! Keep up the good work! Love and greetings from Norway!!

It has only been two...two and a half years since I actually began my kpop journey with Shinee and they are Literally the Only older gen group I stan. And they are Worth that devotion. I follow a few more groups now but Shinee will always be my First and the Standard that other groups should try to live up to. At least for me. 😁👍❤️❤️❤️

They've helped me in my life believe it or not.. And most of all Jonghyun, whose music, songs, and words cheered me up in my darkest moments of my life.. If not him.. I wouldn't survive those hardships as I did.. I just.. I just feel guilty for that reason that he couldn't get such a support he's been to me.. I'll purely love him as long as I live.. His bright smile will always warm my heart.. My heart...

Your deepdive has to be one of the BEST deepdives on any topic ive ever seen. It was so respectful and extensive enough that will allow even a non-kpop fan to understand the deep impact SHINee has in Kpop. It saddens me when the new generation of Kpops disregard 2nd gen artist like SHINee because new artist are a constant on topping charts and the big audience they receive in views and listens. SHINee is so impactful because during their time, they managed to stay relevent even to new artist and stay consistent. Overall, SHINee never forgets their roots and are always humble of who they are. Ive been a Shawol since 2013 and they have healed me with their unique music and personalities. Jonghyun death really impacted and hurt me to the point i couldnt listen to SHINees music for a year, but as time went by i realized how important it is to honor Jonghyun and have returned to be an even proudrr Shawol. Forever 5HINee💙

Being a black kpop fan, their inspirations and connection with r&b meant a lot. They pay respects when its due. They appreciate culture. Their fashion inspired me. Their personalities were golden. Being a SHAWOL over the past 10 years has been a wild ride. Thank you for this documentary. SHINee is an amazing group and small videos don’t do them justice.

He was such a sweet person, people should have protected him. We lost a great talent, great new melodies, great music, great literature. More than anything else a great human being.

Now,I'm not trying to discredit the current artists but for me, SHINee IS the standard. Their concepts, live vocals..everything is just so undeniably good.

I feel great when I see the younger groups doing their covers or claiming them as their inspiration..As they should.I always say without SHINee so and so wouldn't exist because they showed what was possible..what they could build on.After watching your video, I'll try to be less upset about this kind of thing and just know in my heart how much SHINee contributed to the industry,whether or not they are truly credited for them in the end or not.

I'm at the 2:39 mark and I just want to say SHINee had such a positive young impact on me that I still have trouble listening to their music with Jonghyun because it hurts me to know how much he was hurting. I never listened to his last album. This comeback (HARD) has actually brought me a bit back because I truly miss them. But it's hard to see Jonghyun and not think of what happened. So I totally understand what you mean about the professional and personal influence his death had on you. It still affects me today. It's one of the reasons I sought help for my own depression - because I promised I would live well, to both Jonghyun and Sulli.

My favorite thing during don't call me era was watching reaction videos of people seeing SHINee for the first time. Second favorite was seeing so many people saying "That's Taemin? I have never heard him like that?" because they came to know Taemin while the rest of the boys were in the military so they only knew him as a soloist or as part of Super M (super M kinda pains me to this day, tbh, so much wasted potential.). They are brilliant singers and amazing dancers and great composers. They are so amazing. To me, Onew has the best male voice of the second generation - versatile, powerful, boyish and charming - and Jonghyun the best male voice of kpop, period: its golden and warm, could be sexy af but it was never sleazy, a masculine voice that dripped honey, and he could also go so high with it and hold powerful notes forever. Key's voice is unique and he's a whole artist with a personal and unique vision of what he wants his music to sound and look like, if Bad Love was not the best soloist album of 2021, I'll eat my hat. Minho, he is all charisma and charm and a beautiful voice and a talented actor. And Taemin, our baby cheese, he's funny and multi talented and loves his cats!, they are seriously the cutest cats to ever cat. he's a point of reference for so many young idols, he's his own legend.

With SHINee being my ultimate favorite K-Pop group, I love how much effort, honesty, and love you put into this video, even commenting on how they aren't just pretty faces and that they're outspoken, headstrong individuals who really commit to their artistry. Concerning the whole cyberbullying thing and how outspoken the group is--FUN FACT: Jonghyun's posthumous album "Poet | Artist" has a song called "Waffle" that talks about hate comments on the internet. I also love how you mentioned Key's (Key-buhm not key-boom) comment in 2021 about how treating Jonghyun like a taboo topic is a disservice to his passion of music and love of his craft. That's just my personal opinion, and I do agree that is it 100% okay to still have troubles talking about Jonghyun (though I will gush about his abilities for HOURS). SHINee as a whole, though, are an impressive musical and social landmark that I feel really get overlooked. Once again, thank you so much for this video essay. :) Sincerely, an independent artist who loves SHINee.

I discovered kpop after the finebros released their "youtubers react to kpop" and Lucifer was one of the songs they reacted to and I immediately fell in love and sought out as much media involving them as I could. For a while they were literally the only band I listened to and it wasn't until my friend in high school introduced me to other artists that I decided to expand my kpop bands. I remember the day I heard about Jonghyun's passing. I was at work and my friend texted me about it and I had to take a break off the floor to collect myself. This group, for the longest time, were literally what kept me alive. I was extremely depressed in high school and the only thing keeping me going was not wanting to miss out on my favorite band's new releases. I'd tell myself "I'll wait for this release at least" over and over again. I owe so much to this group and many who came after, they truly gave me something to latch onto, something to look forward to, something to make it through another day. I even got to have the honor of seeing them in concert the same year that Jonghyun passed away. It's surreal to go back and watch the videos I took, knowing that I got to witness firsthand one of the last times we'd see him alive. Thank you for this beautiful touching memory and honor to them and all they have accomplished. They will forever be my number one, and they will forever be a 5 member band.

And they overcame they 8 years curse as well. They are still going and I highly doubt they will stop. I've said it before and I will say it again. SHINee is the Queen of Kpop.

As a shawol, thank you for such a well spoken video and the delicacy yet honesty around Jonghyun's life and legacy!!! SHINee set precedent for many ideas and concepts that are normal to KPOP today. Additionally, my favorite fun fact is Show Champion implementing the three limit win after Dream Girl won four times in a row 😂

Love this video. my friend introduced me to kpop in middle school when I came over to her house to do a school project. she showed me SHINee Lucifer MV at first i wasn’t really interested but i think like a month later the song randomly popped up in my head. Then after hours of searching i finally found the MV Lucifer again, but at the time there song Sherlock just came out so I gave it a listen… I was in love with there music ever since. It’s crazy to think it’s been like i think 13 years ive been with SHINee. It been a crazy & amazing ride. I still got another 13 years in me tho lol 5HINee FIGHTING!

I'm glad Jonghyun is being talked about! he's so important to shinee and kpop in general and needs to be celebrated!

2nd gen groups like shinee, snsd, 2ne1, bigbang and super junior really molded kpop into the kpop we know today. From personalized lightsticks and photocards to the level of performance groups are expected to show today. And it is because of these legends that kpop got to the global platform that it has today as a music genre and an art form.

Usually, I am very particular about SHINee being in lists in their age order, Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, Taemin. But now watching, I understand why Jonghyun’s story was at the end. Thank you ❤

Their 3rd korean album was split into "The Misconceptions of You" and "The Misconceptions of Me". Dream Girl and Why So Serious were the respective title tracks.

I think the only thing you missed is how much better that sound when performing live . And how despite the loss of their brother they somehow managed to still perform and show their respect to him even now in a way I haven't seen any other artists do .

Still miss him and his incredible talent but I am so happy that they have gone on. I am a 70 year old grandma who loves all Asian pop groups. My education started in 1999 when while in Japan with my students I was introduced to The Kinki Kids.

Replay has been my ringtone for over 5 years. It is my #1 favorite kpop song of all-time. I'm so blessed to be their fan. Even though my bias is no longer with us, his legacy continues with his brothers. I'll forever be a 5HINee fan 💎💎💎💎💎 Thank you for this video.

I may be biased because I'm such a shawol, but this has got to be one of the most well-written, well-researched videos about SHINee. Thank you!

This was so beautiful and obviously done from a place of love. I am lucky enough that I will be able to finally see them live in a multi concert in a few months and I cannot believe it, they have given us so much through the years 😢 Thank you for including Jjong so respectfully and lovingly too. Amazing job.

it is Jonghyun's voice that got me addicted to K-pop!!! AND when i'm asked why i listen to k-pop, i tell them listen to SHINee's Lucifer - once they do, they're hooked as well.

I've been listening to Kpop since 2010, and SHINee has always been my favorite boy group. They're so special and incomparable. I appreciate all of the work you put into this video 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
