Taemin is just remarkable, you won't find another like him. He is art. I can't wait for you to check out sayonara hitori, it's beautiful
he does play the piano, actually.
Yep lol Taemin actually does play the piano and he’s really amazing at it as he is with everything else💯🔥
You should watch Taemin's dance performance video of Advice. He perfects every movement all the way to his hands, feet and fingers. Taemin is the most artistic performer I know in any genre of pop music.
-Taemin is an artist. When Advice dropped it was everything
I see "Advice" as a continuation of the themes within Taemin's previous Never Gonna Dance Again album trilogy -- "2 Kids," "Criminal" and "Idea." With "Criminal" and "Idea," Taemin talks about being involved in a toxic relationship -- not necessarily a romantic relationship, but a metaphor for his relationship with fame -- in which he agrees to be manipulated almost to the point of being destroyed in order to become the artist we see today. But, in the end of "Idea," we see him become free from the box everyone wants to put him in and he comes to terms with his role as an idol. He has now formed his own "Idea" about himself and what it means to be an idol, etc.
As Taemin explained during his VLive event for "Advice" -- which came out in 2021 -- "Advice" is like the end to the first chapter in his life, and it marks the beginning of the second chapter. The song seems to be his way of saying I am done caring to everyone who judged him and all those haters who spread rumors and misinformation about him. "Advice" is showing that he is now free and confident to be himself, breaking stereotypes and now only listening to himself.
Taemin is just one of those performers that leaves you speechless every time he steps on stage. He was born to be a performer and that is one of the reasons why he has become known as the Korean Michael Jackson. That is also why, as one of the top two performers in the industry, he was made a member of SuperM. Taemin is an Idol of Idols and a legend of legends. (He is considered the blueprint for what it means to be a successful as a male solo artist. He was one of the first male idols from an active group to go solo, and he did it at such a young age, starting in 2014 at 21 years old. He has been a solo artist for more than half his career.)
In "Advice" he's basically saying, "Stop trying to put me in a box, in which I'll never fit in." He is also speaking to everyone that says he's getting old, that he's just a Michael Jackson wannabe that doesn't sell a lot of albums because he tries too hard to be edgy, etc. He's rebelling against all those people who are constantly advising him to make more mainstream music, or to follow the traditional Kpop idol style, in order to boost his sales and his popularity. However, as Taemin is making clear in "Advice," that is not who he is and he will never be "normal" or "mainstream" and he is OK with that.
In the scenes where you see him covered in ink, I think that is supposed to be him showing everyone how he is no longer the "unstained," cute maknae everyone wants to think of him as. The diamond you see painted on his hand when he is playing the piano, and you see drawn on his bicep, etc. is SHINee's symbol and all the pearl aqua blue/green colors you see in the MV is SHINee's official color. (The large tattoo of a Peony flower you can see on his hip is real. Hence why in the lyrics he says, "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after." In other words, he's saying he's tired of people thinking they even have a say in what he does with his body.)
This song was specifically designed to not be like anything he has ever done before. He plays the piano, he raps, he shows off his falsetto notes, etc., which is different than what we often hear and see from him. He intentionally used this song to prove that he isn't one type of singer. People often think of Taemin as a sultry vocalist that sings in a breathy comfortable, less dynamic style. So, with this song he wants to prove to everyone that he can be unpredictable and try new things. Yet again, you can't put him in a box or tell him who to be. Everything you see in this MV is 100% Taemin, including the piano playing.
Everything that Taemin's haters like to point out about him and say are reasons why he shouldn't be held to such high esteem, I find completely ridiculous. I don't think that anyone who actually knows him would ever say he has played it safe at any time in his career. If you think he is only one dimensional, and that he is trying to be anything other than himself, then you really don't know Taemin. Everything he does is different, out there and definitely not safe. It's always uniquely Taemin, and he couldn't do it any other way.
Also, because Taemin is a member of SHINee, none of his songs are ever like anything you have ever heard or seen before from him. It will always have a new beat, style and sound. As SM Entertainment's experimental boy group, SHINee is meant to be the first and they are expected to set the trend, and that includes the members' solo work. With every new song Taemin produces it's expected to be different than the last, so you will never hear the same style or sound from him in any of his songs, even on the same album, and yet, it still will be uniquely Taemin-like. Which is another example of how you can never put him in a box or expect anything from him. :D
Another theme in "Advice" is about how Taemin is embracing his androgynous side -- but on his own terms -- which I think is a continuation of the message in his "Move" MV. Early in his career when Taemin was growing up in SHINee -- he debuted in 2008 at 14 years old -- he was known for his delicate feminine features. It took him a long time to accept that he was recognized for his looks and to come to terms with the fact that everyone thought of him as a "pretty boy," etc. So, at this point in his career -- he is now 27 years old in this MV -- he is making a statement about how he has decided to be himself and no longer care what people think. Music is art and art has no gender. So, that is why in "Advice" you see him wearing hair extensions, fishnets and women's Supreme sportswear, etc. But if you notice, his choreography is very fast paced and sharp, which is hyper masculine -- a complete contrast to the "feminine" image people want to give him. You also see him wearing makeup, but it's smeared on his face, as if to say, "people may think of me as a 'Pretty Boy,' but I don't care about looking pretty."
In the lyrics he is saying, "It's creepy how people are always looking to cause drama, so stop trying to create scandals in my life that don't really exist. It's all just stories you make up." He's tired of all those people who seem to look for reasons to cause drama, where none really exists.
Where he says "floppy" in the lyrics, I think he's talking about knowing about or hearing firsthand the things people are saying about him, but he is choosing not to pay attention to them because what they're saying is flopping or doesn't hold any weight or have any substance, etc. "Advice" just proves that every time people try to put Taemin in a box, he destroys it and keeps coming back with something more unique and never seen before.
Hence, why in the choreography he puts his hands in front of his face and creates a movement that looks like an animated mouth talking. It represents how everyone keeps talking about him and what they are saying is nonsense, which makes them look and sound ridiculous, etc. Which is why in the lyrics he says, "You will never get the keys to my lock" because he doesn't ever plan to give people what they want and allow them access to his secrets and personal life, etc. (Those people who like to gossip about him will never truly know the real him.)
I interpret the "One (piece of) Advice" he is talking about in the lyrics as a reference to the advice he keeps being given about being more mainstream, but he's saying, "stop trying to make me conform to the image you have in your head of who I should be and what I should do." In other words, take all that time and effort you have been using to come up with ways to talk about how he doesn't fit in, etc. and put it to better use. "Follow my own advice" and do something original for once.
And the crucifixion pose at the end of "Advice" is sort of a signature pose for him. I interpret it to be like he is saying, "And that is the end, this is my final word, take it or leave it, but don't doubt me. I have given it my all and laid everything I had out there for you," etc.
You should really see his "Advice" dance practice as well. It's a good way to see the full choreography without any cuts, edits or ackward camera angles.
Taemin is a showman, an exceptional choreographer and he is a pianist, he has been studying since he was 8 years old so he knows what he does well, he studies everything he will do, still being relevant after 15 years of career is surprising. As they said, he is an artist!!
YAAAAS TAEMIN IS ART.
THE REAL ARTIST, THE CHOSEN ONE ❤
You see, im not as deep into kpop as i used to, but this man still got me on a leash, its like Taemin has his own genre and i just love everything that comes from that man's creative side
"Criminal" has got to be next (please).
Yes, Taemin can play the piano beautifully. He will often play it live with a ballad during his solo concerts. In addition, he will sometimes play his Baby Grand for us during his VLives. He learned to play by ear.
Taemin is wearing a Supreme unisex athletic suit. Supreme only makes unisex sports wear.
As I mentioned in my comments for "Guilty", Taemin has been struggling with his worldview duality since he became an idol, I believe. However, he began using it as a theme and major storyline beginning in 2016 with his MV for "Press Your Number". Since then, many of his MVs carry through with this story.
Jumping in time to 2020, Taemin released his masterpiece, "Never Gonna Dance Again, Acts 1 & 2" (NGDA). This entire full-length, two-part album incorporated this storyline. The main two title songs were "Criminal" (NGDA Act 1) with the concept of Stockholm Syndrome where Taemin was both the criminal and victim within his own mind -- like "Guilty" and "IDEA" (NGDA Act 2) with the concept of Plato's Theory of Forms which states that any created being (form) cannot create itself. Only an outside force/being can be the creator and create perfection. This fits in perfectly with Taemin's Christian worldview. The MV is stunning detailing an epic battle between the "criminal" and the victim (both played by Taemin) through depictions of heaven and hell.
This leads us to "Advice", which we believed was the epilogue of the story, but now that "Guilty" came out, we see that the story continues and we now have a name for this demon ego, "Abraxas". In this MV, we see a battle-scared Taemin with a line of thorns tattooed on his collarbone spitting fire to finish off the first half of his career and promising to ignore the collective one "advice" of his naysayers, saesangs, and others to follow his own "advice" from now on.
The black half-mask and tattoos are reminiscent of Taemin's NGDA promo photoshoots. The shredded paper of unwanted comments, advice, and hate spilling from the central shredder in the ceiling to pile upon the floor below tells us Taemin is hard at work getting rid of such nonsense. Minho's (one of his SHINee brothers) sword is sticking out of a pile to show support and solidarity, as Minho regularly has a sword in several past SHINee's concert VCRs. The line in Advice's lyrics that says, "Even the veil that hides the smile inside the glass mask is lost," is reminiscent of the black veil he wore for "IDEA"s photoshoot. So now, the veil is gone and so is the "glass mask" that hid his inner self. Rather than bow down to pressure, Taemin is declaring his freedom to produce the music and art he loves through the allusion of the very large Taemin in the small room, showing that he's too big to be contained in small minds or controlled by what is expected to sell in the industry. "You'll never get the keys to my lock." In other words, you'll never fully understand him or be able to control him again. He will do what he wants. Lastly, the young, shy boy of the past who hated to show his body and was admonished by fans for his waist tattoo, now as a man proudly displays his body in this MV, with the emphasis on his waist tattoo and painted torso towards the end stating..."I destroy the torso you've been chasing after."
I really hope you will also react to "The Rizzness". It may sound like a ridiculous title, but it hits hard when you read the lyrics and understanding the admonition he is giving to those who like to play social media "games" with people's lives. Thanks for another great reaction.
yeasss more taemin !!!
Taemin is the blue print
Yees! Taemin is the King of Kpop!
Isn't Taemin just amazing?! Top bad that ,in my opinion, he is underated 🙁 but HE is an ARTIST for real! Unique artist! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this great reaction to the God of kpop taemin. Like I have said it's a true crime to not watch the dance practices for each song they will blow your mind truly I pinky promise you. Yes taemin plays the piano and he is damn great at it.
TAEMIN is an art for sure and there is no one who tells stories like him in his MVs
This one is aimed at the haters and people who tell him what and how to do and he shows that he cannot be pigeonholed and will do everything his own way
advice is one of the best mv and best meaning kpop songs that i ever heard
i am exo_l bud i think everyone shoud admire taemin's talent
Hi & many thanks for reacting to Taemin as I absolutely love this guy! Please react to more of him as I always watch your Forestella reactions so it would be great if you could also include more of him too please? Many thanks again guys until the next time 👋🏻
You're right most of Taemin's title tracks from Famous forward have a specific message and everything is the mv means something. You can take his songs for face value or try to understand the deeper meaning. In Criminal most think it is a love relationship where the relationship is actually between the Idol Taemin and the Non-Idol Taemin and what he struggles with within himself. The lyrics capture this extremely well. Saw an interview with the lyricists that wrote Criminal and the collaboration they had with Taemin they had never experienced that with another artist. One said he went beyond the imagination of the lyricists with suggesting they reference the Stockholm Syndrome and adding the news report in both Korean and English.
Advice ended the first chapter of his career prior to going to the military and Guilty and The Rizzness post military are the start of the second chapter of his career. And I'm here for the ride and I believe it's go to be WILD!!!
Taemin is a complete artist, this is my favorite MV by this artist ❣️🔥
