We are here for all the Jinki appreciation! 😍 So happy to have him showing a fun side, he can do it all between acting, singing, dancing and being a dang hot/cute visual!
Austin having full on mini-delusions about Onew while listening to the album was arguably the most relatable part :D I love this album so much and I love that he's branched out so much from what the general public typically expect from him. He mentioned in the pre-release live that he wants to show a different but very much himself side of him in this album, that's bright and colorful. I think he didn't want to be boxed in as a singer who only does ballads and OSTs and this album showed everyone such a fun and cool side of him :) Also, Onew wrote the lyrics for In The Whale while he was camping!
Jinki really set out to prove himself as an artist that was more than just an OST king and emotional ballad singer. I get why he felt that way, but like come on you’re SHINee! We know you can do anything haha. He totally blew away our expectations. I love our heavy synth, electro-pop indie prince Jinki. It’s really out of this world when SHINee does your fave genre, and Jinki did Yeowoobi for me!
I listened to the whole album on my way back from work and omg, this is my favorite album of 2022. Jinki's voice is legendary and the songs are incredible. Seriously I'm beyond happy he gave us this gem!
In the whale’s lyrics were written by Onew for Shawols! The translation you reacted to isn’t the best unfortunately Here is my favorite part of the lyrics: "Though I know that one day, We'll become words in the pages Of a faded legend Covered, covered, covered in dust In the hearts of you and me, I trust we’ll be eternal In a deep place we couldn’t imagine”
Wow....Respect. and like no other the Shinee Members and Shawol experience and real respect, love and appreciation is REAL. It's a beautiful thing to see and to be part of. The genuine expressions really transcend "fandom" and trends....but are eternal. That is powerful stuff. So thank you Shawols that have allowed those who joined late to.have such a group called Shinee and its members. You can never duplicate this....🤗
Jinki's album is so good. With Voice he did establish himself as a balladeer but with Dice he's saying that he can do more than that, that he has range, that he can sing more than sad ballads and I absolutely love it.
Thank you for your reaction! Dice mv really showed that Onew is a singer, dancer, actor ❤️ I'm so proud of him for doing various genre, his versatile singing skill just shine through and it really feels like a journey hearing all the songs
Oooh, what are the chances! I just finished watching your entire SHINee playlist and was thinking to myself: "Oh I hope he gets to listen to Jinki's new album soon!" And here you are! It's been amazing seeing your entire journey, you really kept me company and it really was like showing something you love to a friend in that whenever they scream or gasp or comment you're like "I KNOW", LOL. Even getting emotional together was special. So yeah, I'm so happy I found your channel, especially because I'm also a singer and have studied music so I find myself nodding hard at every piece of knowledge you drop, hehe. Thanks for the good vibes
Thank you so much for your reaction, Austin, and for sharing Onew's marvelous comeback album. As usual, you have a fine way of articulating your reactions. I love hearing the viewpoint of people who study and know music. I love all six songs but my immediate favorites are favorites were On the Way, Love Phobia and In the Whale. Since the pandemic, I've missed seeing live music, especially jazz and classical, and although this is a departure, I love it. Reminds me of what we used to call lounge music with a city vibe (I'm from San Francisco, California). Onew's new Dice album has transported me 💜
I'm glad you heard DICE! 🎲♥️ I think you're right about exploring genres that are not common in k-pop. Actually, the name of the album is because of that (a dice with different faces) At the same time, the current trend in music brings back the sounds of the 90s or 00s, with a rock or alternative vibe. Suho did the same (Grey Suit sounds a bit like Radiohead's No Surprises) I like it, it's interesting to see how they adapt it to each artist. Onew's voice is delicious and I'm happy for him. He said that he no longer wanted to be known only as "the singer of ballads or OSTs" and he achieved it with this album ♡
To me, this album is The Cure dream sound but make it pop disco with Onew's gorgeous voice driving it! I love it! As always, great reaction! Was smiling the whole time!
Once again, I’m reminded that Onew has one of the best voices in kpop and I love getting songs with just his voice (love him and the rest of Shinee too). I feel fully immersed in his voice 😌
I'm so happy for this album..loving the change in musical style and shows how vocally versatile Ji ki. I've just had the album on repeat all day...If I'm not watch the MV. He totally is our Sunshine...his smile🥰 In The Whale was his own lyrics..which he wrote while camping..because of course he did..😆..and he said it's for Shawols.. Dice, Sunshine and Love Phobia are my favourites atm..But the more I listen the more I love every single track... Only one little thing is the synth snare on In The Whale just distracts me from Jinki's vocals (which are stunning) but it maybe that I just need to listen to that track a bit more. Overall the whole album is amazing...love love love it so much ...MV is Fire.. Jinki's duality between cute and adorable and cool and sexy is awesome..like each dice roll takes him in another direction and the different aspects/personas of himself. So proud of our OnTokki.. He did good..There's Onew's countdown ..his introduction to DICE pre-release and his Interview with Minho if you haven't seen them. I'll put the links below.. th-cam.com/video/WcayGQsg9NA/w-d-xo.html ( DICE interview with Minho) th-cam.com/video/3xIAZlU2Z_Y/w-d-xo.html (Onew DICE countdown.
If I was wealthy I would buy the whole world to make this the best....Best ever and celebrate this lovely man everyday. Shinee is a gift that keeps on giving. 🥰❤
I listened to the whole album, and I think you will fall in love again ^^ ..... The universe of this second opus is totally different from the first. Each song shows us a new palette of Onew's voice, we see that he had fun trying to modulate his voice and constantly trying to push his limits. They are all extraordinary, but I had a mega crush on LOVE PHOBIA ❤❤❤ She touched me so much vocally, that she made me shed tears, I don't know why her voice is so angelic and carrier of emotions. Onew has just given us a wonderful gift with this album, a superb jewel 💖💖💖 ............ J'ai écouté tout l'album, et je pense que vous allez à nouveau tomber amoureux ^^ ..... L'univers de ce deuxième opus est totalement différent du premier. Chaque chanson nous montre une nouvelle palette de la voix d'Onew, on voit qu'il s'est amusé à s'essayer à moduler sa voix et à rechercher sans cesse à repousser ses limites. Elles sont toutes extraordinaires, mais j'ai eu un mega coup de coeur pour LOVE PHOBIA ❤❤❤ Elle m'a tellement touché vocalement, qu'elle m'a fait verser des larmes, je sais pas pourquoi sa voix est tellement angélique et porteuse d'émotions. Onew vient de nous offrir un magnifique cadeau avec cet album, un superbe bijou 💖💖💖
여우 (yeou, “fox”) + 비 (bi, “rain”), probably from an ancient legend in which a cloud loving a fox cried sadly behind the sun when the fox was going to get married. They also use the term to call the rain when the sun is still shining, like sun showers. So like in the song, Onew is like the cloud weeping, saying goodbye to his love. 🥺
I'm here every time there is Shinee mv appreciation and reaction from you. Love it! All your reaction and question while watching the mv is so me too. I'm cringing and pausing everytime his sweet face and smile shows up. By the way all his tracks are great I can't even choose which is my favorite. Proud Shawol here and my ultimate bias is always Onew . Thank you for this 💎🔥❤️💯🎲
My favourite album of the year ❤️ The thoughts and hopes he has put into this album for those listening were so genuine and humble. My pick is On The Way, I hear Jjong in it.
Jinki summarized this album with keywords DIVERSITY and HOPE. He wants to show his diverse spectrum as a solo artist, DICE ALBUM is like his stepping stone to achieving that, and wants to give hope too. VOICE album delivered and showed just that.. THE VOICE that is Lee Jinki. He intended it like as a gift to Shawols before enlisting.
"여우비" (Yeowoobi) literally translated as Fox rain. It's the rain shower while the sun is shining brightly. An old tale, a cloud loved a fox dearly. But the fox married to somebody else so on the day of the wedding the cloud cried while the sun was up brightly hence the sun shower.
Sir your reaction is so relatable it's insane. Thank you for validating that ONEW is my bf tho 💅 And also thank you for this video I smiled through the whole thing
Yayyy thank you for your reaction! I loved this album and I'm so proud of Jinki!! He's already beating his previous records and I can't be more happy for him! To learn more about each track and what he thought of it, I'd suggest watching his countdown live that he did prior to the release. It was fun and he seemed so happy and excited. I'd love to see Love Phobia live too. He practiced and went to vocal training and supposedly in Love Phobia he got to show a bunch of different vocal techniques and even Taemin said that he knows that's why Jinki likes the song. Jinki wrote In The Whale for Shawols and It's Minho's favorite song on the album. I love that all of the SHINee members supported Jinki through this process and gave their opinions on his songs and visited him on the MV set. Their love for each other and the fans is just so heartwarming. We are a super lucky fandom 💎❤️
From what I can understand, each roll of the dice can change the outcome of the situation. At first, it appears that only Onew has a die. When a die appears in the robot-like character's hand, it appears to be short-circuiting it because its hand is vibrating in a chaotic fashion. However, if you look at the girl's hand (right one looking at the screen) during the elevator scene we see that female protagonist also has a die, so she can also change outcomes. This is my take on it anyway. Others will have more input to clarify things...lol. This is such a fun video and a new side of Onew that I REALLY like, and I adore this new sound from him. I've already purchased the album from iTunes. Makes me wonder if he had a lot more creative input than his first album in 2018 because it always seems like when SM let's go and allows the members to take control of their music, the result is always so much more enticing, fresh, and fun. I also found it cute that Onew kept the album title trend alive that was created with Taemin's first album, "Ace" and then Jonghyun saying he "plagiarized" Taemin's album title by rhyming his first album title by using "Base". Then Key jumped on the bandwagon with "Face" and Onew with "Voice" and now "Dice". If you're familiar with SHINee at all, you can instantly recognize the SHINeeisms throughout the MV. The predominant color is the green-blue (called pearl aqua) which is SHINee's signature color. Overall bold coloration is reminiscent of Jonghyun's "She is" and "Shinin"; the party scene with bright fashion and green-blue liquid is reminiscent to the one in SHINee's "Married to the Music", as well as the "bleeding" lemon; insert Taemin's chainsaw fetish from "Criminal"; and the entire "world" he's in reminds me of a planet Key would discover within his "Bad Love" space explorations! Maybe it's because he doesn't have a solo album yet, but I'm still searching for any tidbits from Minho's "Heartbreak". One SHAWOL suggested the golfing scene may be a nod to Minho who loves golfing. If anyone discovers something else, please let me know.
this album is an eargasm! every song is from a different genre and as jinki said, it's called "onew". he wished to show his different colors through his music, he worked and prepared hard to achieve it successfully. *yeowoobi means "fox rain" a rain that fells when the sun shines brightly. in the whale, lyrics were written by onew, it's a song dedicated to shawols. he shared he came up with the lyrics while camping. it was really cold at that time 😂. it's impossible for me to pick a favorite track. I love each song for different reasons.
Always enjoy your reactions, especially of my loves super talented unique vocals & visuals Onew & Chanyeol ❤️. Onew’s voice has been my favourite for over a decade and I’m so proud & thrilled that this album is showcasing his vocal versatility
I really love the retro in his new album!💯 I really hope you'll react to Yukika soon though..she's well known for city pop 😭 i really recommend to listen to her Soul lady album..it's a masterpiece!
I don't know if you already know but since you asked... here are some links: Dice acoustic version - th-cam.com/video/yo3TNYUkvrI/w-d-xo.html Love Phobia acoustic version - th-cam.com/video/d-sTxkm-GmI/w-d-xo.html Sunshine duet with Lee Suhyun (AKMU) - th-cam.com/video/Kg-tp5_vXRk/w-d-xo.html Sorry if you had already seen it!
Austin said imagine being on a beach with Onew and Pina coladas, etc.... what I could only think of was Onew on "One fine day" with his pineapple bag and singing the toast song LOL, he's too cute!!!! 💕
DICE perfect album for this Summer. Gives me refreshing view+ married to the music vibes. He said he included 6 tracks (SHINee+ SHAWOL). This is new side of Jinki Man that he want to show us. Please watch ' In Your Eyes'- Ost; ONEW from Minho' s Drama. I would love to watch more SHINee with you, Austin. Good Day PS: Waiting for VOICE, RED, BASE, FACE too!
Please the way you just kept repeating his "I just love being alone with you" line 😂 if that ain't me 😂 Onew will be performing on a radio show tomorrow btw! It's not a full guesting but just a performance so maybe you'd like to check that out as well!
Thanks for the reaction! Sir Austin "I'm trying to connect SM stuff that is not connecting." Basically SM when they bring up Kwangya into other groups.
In the whale makes me want to go on an afternoon car driver with my windows wide open and yes, it has melancholic vibes to it. That said, Love phobia is also my fav and we share the same reservations regarding Yeowoobi.
Onew without doubt is a talent. He has a great voice. But he is the best in more classical styles and blues ( his previous Voice is one of the more beautiful cds that I have, totally wonderful) I suppose this time they wanted to do something a bit more popular to the fans.It´s a great album , love dice, lovephobia, a bit of reserve about yeoobi because of the instruments used for me its a bit tiring to hear . Even so as usual with Onew great quality. thanks for the react Austin
Onew out here reminding everyone that Minho is not the only actor in the group
We are here for all the Jinki appreciation! 😍 So happy to have him showing a fun side, he can do it all between acting, singing, dancing and being a dang hot/cute visual!
Come on shawol! Lets make our old man (onew) 1st win on music show with this album 💎
Let's go....
Yes
From the album, "In The Whale is a track for the fans!" SO proud of and happy for Onew!
Austin having full on mini-delusions about Onew while listening to the album was arguably the most relatable part :D

Covered, covered, covered in dust

Wow....Respect. and like no other the Shinee Members and Shawol experience and real respect, love and appreciation is REAL. It's a beautiful thing to see and to be part of.

Thank you for your reaction!

10/10 for me!! Love this album, love this new approach, love his voice and love the visuals.
Please appreciate the backing vocalist Lee Jinki too, his harmonization with soloist Onew is what making everything heavenly 😂😌❤️✨
love phobia is my favorite but maaaaaaan the yeowoobi bridge had me stuck for a cool 10 minutes, could not stop replaying it!!!
Thank you for this reaction Sir Austin! I was waiting for it
Onew looks so handsome in the MV.. and Dice is soooo goooood. It's a mood booster song. Love it ❤
Once again, I’m reminded that Onew has one of the best voices in kpop and I love getting songs with just his voice (love him and the rest of Shinee too). I feel fully immersed in his voice 😌

The fact that this mv has almost as many views as blue yet this one came out 2 days ago.... its good, its crazy
DICE es un lujo de Album...Onew realizo un excelente trabajo...Lo ame de principio a fin...5HINee jamas decepciona...5HINee forever five.😊
Yes, you articulated it perfectly! This album feels so luxurious 💜
Faltaron las tildes
I loved In the Whale -- It would be such a great driving song, windows down and the wind blowing around -- such a mood
especially during/after the sunset, when the sky is dark but the hues are there ooooof
@@fmma9636 Oh yay
AAAAAAH I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY
My uploads will usually be around this time of day during the week since I have to work. Sorry for making you wait. But ONEW is worth the wait!
@@SirAustin totally fine! Would much rather watch you react to things when you’re home and rested rather than early and sleep deprived haha
'yeowoobi' and 'in the whale' made me ascend🤤
Thank you for your reaction for
Onew 💎💎💎💎💎
sir we love you
My favourite album of the year ❤️ The thoughts and hopes he has put into this album for those listening were so genuine and humble. My pick is On The Way, I hear Jjong in it.

Sir your reaction is so relatable it's insane. Thank you for validating that ONEW is my bf tho 💅
And also thank you for this video I smiled through the whole thing
Priceless reaction. Loved it. Some great songs in there. So excited for the live performances.
I haven't heard his album yet so now I'm going to react alongside you! 😍

I mean... DICE, Sunshine and Love Phobia... SO GOOOOOD!
Thank u, sir Austin! Love your reaction, as always :)
Thank you for reacting!!
Please react to 'Dream girl+Run away+ Ready or not+ Beautiful+321(SWC4 in Seoul)' and 'An Encore'-SHINee-
I loved this whole album!! Also Cry for Love and Love Phobia sit at the same table for me.
This whole album is so good. His voice is so addicting
BEST ALBUM. THE VOCALS ..
I sooo love your reaction, sir Austin. 💕💕
In the Whale is my new fave genre
✨⭐️🌃⭐️✨ CITY POP
This mv is soo cute

this album is an eargasm!
every song is from a different genre and as jinki said, it's called "onew". he wished to show his different colors through his music, he worked and prepared hard to achieve it successfully.
*yeowoobi means "fox rain" a rain that fells when the sun shines brightly.
in the whale, lyrics were written by onew, it's a song dedicated to shawols. he shared he came up with the lyrics while camping. it was really cold at that time 😂.
it's impossible for me to pick a favorite track. I love each song for different reasons.
you need to check the live stages of this, OMG he slayed and ate that CD!!!
Always enjoy your reactions, especially of my loves super talented unique vocals & visuals Onew & Chanyeol ❤️. Onew’s voice has been my favourite for over a decade and I’m so proud & thrilled that this album is showcasing his vocal versatility
Seems like on the way has choreography.Very excited
I really love the retro in his new album!💯 I really hope you'll react to Yukika soon though..she's well known for city pop 😭 i really recommend to listen to her Soul lady album..it's a masterpiece!
I don't know if you already know but since you asked... here are some links:
Dice acoustic version - th-cam.com/video/yo3TNYUkvrI/w-d-xo.html
Love Phobia acoustic version - th-cam.com/video/d-sTxkm-GmI/w-d-xo.html
Sunshine duet with Lee Suhyun (AKMU) - th-cam.com/video/Kg-tp5_vXRk/w-d-xo.html
Sorry if you had already seen it!
I’m so proud of him
Austin said imagine being on a beach with Onew and Pina coladas, etc.... what I could only think of was Onew on "One fine day" with his pineapple bag and singing the toast song LOL, he's too cute!!!! 💕
DICE perfect album for this Summer. Gives me refreshing view+ married to the music vibes. He said he included 6 tracks (SHINee+ SHAWOL). This is new side of Jinki Man that he want to show us. Please watch ' In Your Eyes'- Ost; ONEW from Minho' s Drama. I would love to watch more SHINee with you, Austin. Good Day
PS: Waiting for VOICE, RED, BASE, FACE too!
l love love phobia too💘its romantic for me...
진짜진짜 앨범수록곡도 너무좋아요
리엑션해주셔서감사합니다
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Onew Hyung Thank you sir for your reaction to Onew 🙏😍
Justo estaba esperando tu reacción al album
Thanks for doing this
he is the best
Love his sweet smile 💕💕💕
ONEW hermoso DICE . Maravilloso MD. . Genial encantador. Su voz única hermosa .❤️💎❤❤❤👑👏👏
Please the way you just kept repeating his "I just love being alone with you" line 😂 if that ain't me 😂
Onew will be performing on a radio show tomorrow btw! It's not a full guesting but just a performance so maybe you'd like to check that out as well!
I love how u honestly react to Onew’s voice~^^ Also I recommend you react to “Sunshine” with AKMU Suhyun~ It was such a great collaboration~^^
Thanks for the reaction! Sir Austin "I'm trying to connect SM stuff that is not connecting." Basically SM when they bring up Kwangya into other groups.
STREAM DICE
You're right! Yeowoobi sounds very 2000's alternative rock! I love it
Waited for this.
Love Phobia 🤗
Now it get it... yeowoobi sounds like Puddle of Mud's Blurry!
La voz de Jinki es única, te teletransporta a un lugar hermoso 🥺✨💘
¡Gracias por la reacción al álbum y por apreciar el talento enorme que tiene!
In the whale makes me want to go on an afternoon car driver with my windows wide open and yes, it has melancholic vibes to it. That said, Love phobia is also my fav and we share the same reservations regarding Yeowoobi.
Pretty sure In The Whale is the song for the fans.
NOT YOUR GRANDPA IM CRYING
In the Whale is wrote by Onew for Shawols
😍😍😍
"Onew, a pinacolada, the beach...no employment" me AF 😂😂
and I kept remembering Onew in that Thai beach with his pineapple bag singing the toast song!! 😂😍 I love him so much!!!
I can imagine a cafe near a river/sea and I’m sitting outside while the album is playing on the background.
lol you're so wrecked in the first half. cute!
Pls react to Onew and AkMu Suhyun "Sunshine" duet❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your taste sir, It's the best album for me.
LOL! I love the album.
I keep leaving a comment about in the whale and it’s getting deleted after seconds 😅 I think yt thinks it’s spam idk why
If Onew is my boyfriend, I'd say getting fired for a date him is worthy
very... thick... IT'S SO FUNNY JHSDJSKDH
Onew without doubt is a talent. He has a great voice. But he is the best in more classical styles and blues ( his previous Voice is one of the more beautiful cds that I have, totally wonderful) I suppose this time they wanted to do something a bit more popular to the fans.It´s a great album , love dice, lovephobia, a bit of reserve about yeoobi because of the instruments used for me its a bit tiring to hear . Even so as usual with Onew great quality. thanks for the react Austin
