Taemin is doing a melodic rap, forever destroying the idea that he can't rap. You also see why we say that Taemin is the best dancer of Kpop. One dancer who reviewed this today said he could already tell this was a very difficult choreo. Yet, Taemin makes it look so fluid and effortless. I'm pretty sure that alternating move (when you thought he was out of sync with the backup dancers) is intentional to show contrast and make him stand out. Taemin monitors every little detail of his MVs. If that had not been intentional, it wouldn't have been in there. He's almost fanatical about perfection...lol. For some inexplicable reason, Taemin gets a lot of hate. Just look at the down votes that always seem to appear on his MVs. It truly is people with small minds who just can't reconcile, comprehend, or admit that Taemin is in a league of his own; he can't be defined, and his artistry can't be touched. I like the black/white suit which seems to represent the duality of his personality, or that nothing is "black and white". In other words, don't spout off about what you know nothing about. I believe the small room and large Taemin is either him saying, "I'm too big to be confined to your small mind", or "Your pea-brain can't contain me". The car crash I see as him saying, "Watch me smash your idea of me...like when he says "Push my buttons...I'll show you the end." When he says, "You'll never get the keys of my lock" it seems he's saying haters will never reach inside him. However, as Taemin always has dual meanings to his lyrics, and he said this was connected to NGDA in the fact that this is the new him/ego that has emerged from the battle between "Criminal" and "IDEA", he could be referring to the toxic thoughts that were always spouted by his "Criminal"/original ego. Now that Taemin is free of that, he's putting that ego in his place and saying he will do things his way and not listen to his old ego's negative advice. He will listen to one advice - his own (the new Taemin). Just speculation on my part. Taemin does things "my way". He doesn't follow Kpop trends; he makes them, and he doesn't care about what is popular. He just wants to do the music he likes. Let's face it, Taemin is much bigger than just Kpop. As music critic Youngdae Kim said, ""He [Taemin] is one of the most unique and exemplary solo artist among all Korean music scenes." From "The Artist: Taemin". Taemin has a very big heart and loves everyone, so if this is also for those haters out there, then I'm glad he did this masterpiece because I hate to see him get hurt by little minds with nasty words.
Thank you for this detailed explanation 💞! I want to know why people hate on taemin because he is one of the best artists I’ve seen including western artists just Shinee as a whole. I’m a new shawol and there music makes me so happy so thank you for this ❤️❤️
@Saddlemomma I really hope that you’ve posted this comment on the official Advice MV cause I feel like this should be read by many people, especially his fans. Your explanation makes so much sense.
@@lori4021 Actually, after watching this several times, I got a lot more out of it and made another post here. I'll go ahead and comment on the original MV if you think it's helpful.
TAEMIN represents what it is impossible to precisely define his approach to gender and role-playing in MV and choreography is so multidimensional and unpredictable that it is difficult to classify him into any specific genre.
Taemin told that Advice is the end of the chapter one of Taemin’s life as well as the beginning of the next chapter. The car crash could possibly signify the end and then the last frame with him standing in his signature pose while looking up can signify the start of a new era.....
Definitely it's about the criticism celebrities get from the public - the media and the people on the Internet. If people calling idols "flops" and "losers" on the internet think that idols don't read their comments, now they know that they do. The line about the torso in my opinion is about people criticising him for tattooing his body, saying that he "destroyed" something they thought was theirs to obsess about. This is the first time he's shown his hip tattoo, that was being previously covered, for instance in his "Idea" MV.
@@VijayMarshall Yes, you could also take it that way but seeing how he revealed his tattoos now, he also means that too. Apart from the hip tattoo, I see he has two more, one on left rib side and another at the back. That hip tattoo looks like a black rose and I won't be surprised if it is looking at his song Black Rose from NGDA Act 1
KPOP KING TAEMIN appeared to give a 360 ° turn to the music industry, he has such a creative mind to innovate and break many stereotypes with dances, performances, create a "T-pop" musical style that only he can do and of the highest level. He always leaves the fence high and it is always he who surpasses it again. Absolutely no one does it like him, no one.
TLDR: I think the song is about not letting others tell you who you are or limiting yourself when you start believing that you will always only be who they tell you to be. IMO the concept of the song is Taemin voicing his disapproval of toxic media prying into the privacy of celebrities and how they tend to trap them into an image that they can't escape or break through. Him "destroying his torso" is about breaking their perception of him and escaping that innocent baby image that he had from the beginning of his career. And then when he says that he should take his own advice, it correlates with the scene of him being trapped in his own mind. Because of how other people portray him, he even doubts himself and he eventually internalized their message and puts himself in that box. This song is about breaking out of that box and expressing yourself the way you want to, and about how he has matured as an artist and as a person throughout his career.
The *torso* thing confused me a bit, but then I thought that maybe he's talking about being unapologetic, since usually you bend from your torso when you bow most politely. So by saying he destroyed the torso they're after, he's saying he won't bow down.
@@a_simple_human_ yes, but why the torso specifically, and not the legs or the throat? As a singer/dancer, those parts would have made more sense, maybe?
ADVICE Taemin as pianis Taemin as singer Taemin as Dance Taemin as genderless icon Taemin as performer Taemin as fresh vibe. Taemin is an art. True beauty.
taemin explains the hand move which is the key part of ADVICE “There’s a whispering sound in the music. When the whispering sound is played we make this lip shape.Also it kind of means no matter what others say,no matter how much ppl talk behind you..”
With Advice, #Taemin has shown that he is above stereotypes, above rumours, above the way he is portrayed by media, he will not, allow the expectations of people to dictate the artist and person he is, he makes his own future, he creates his own happiness.. Thank you Aaron I always enjoy your reaction!
I can’t ever get used to how Taemin destroys US! Bops after bops and I won’t even start with the choreographies (I can go on for hours) damn! Thanks for your reaction. Waiting for all the future SHINee content and Taemin Content. ❤️❤️❤️
@@pricilla3172 I'm an sm stan too. Though sm is sh*tty but I can't deny the fact that they have the best artists in the industry. My favorite groups are EXO, NCT, SUPERM.
Aaron, the hip tattoo and the fact that he revealed it in this MV is very significant. Just in IDEA, he also wore crop tops but covers the tattoo, same in Criminal. Advice is like a conclusion to the trilogy series of Criminal, Idea and Advice combined as Taemin is letting the world know he has evolved and breaking the stereotypes or delusions both the industry and crazy fans have tried to project on him for his entire career. That hip tattoo definitely looks like a black rose to me and I feel his song, Black Rose from NGDA Act 1 really explains that and how he's embraced fully who he is and no longer subjecting himself to what others think of him. I think this is one of the most iconic final comebacks a korean artiste has ever done before he takes a break for his military service because it'll linger in the minds of everyone on what next to expect from him when he's back and how much void the industry will have with his absence Apart from the hip tattoo, I see he has two more, one on left rib side and another at the back. I'm sure he's gonna get more, lol and we'll also get to see them more I'm so glad I never undermined Taemin and his potentials since his maknae days with Shinee and how much the industry undermined his talents then, he has bloomed so well and now, like the torso description, he's no longer bowing down to what people want to perceive him as but he's taking his own advice to be who he is!
He's said its about gossiping and toxic media, specifically destructive or anti fans that speculate constantly. I also think it's meta-commentary on his own career and place in the industry, since he's struggled with his body image and the whole theme of his past 3 comebacks has been about breaking down and redefining his image as an artist. There's SO many layers in this mv/song, so much that nods to him as an artist...and by analyzing it, we become the subject of the song. It's GENIUS.
i took this song as being kind of an assertion that he knows he breaks boundaries in kpop, and that people talk. so he’s like. look. say what you want, you don’t understand me, and as hard as you try you will never have the full story. be careful before you push me too far, cause you haven’t seen that yet.
I was thinking about the lyrics, and my theory for the lyric, "I destroy the torso that you were chasing after", is that Taemin always had a bit of an innocent, somewhat cute image because he was the youngest. I think alot of people were attracted to the innocent side of him, and liked him only because of the image that he had, and that they were more so chasing after the untouchable/untouched aura that he had, instead of him as a person or artist. In love with the idea of having him rather than in love with him. But, like in the lyrics for 'Pretty Boy', where he reiterates that, "I won't pretend to be innocent like a puppet", and "I may always seem pretty/good/nice/soft", I think by saying he 'destroyed the torso', it could mean, he now has tattoos on his torso, and so he is breaking away from the innocent image and becoming more than just what people labelled him as, more than just a "pretty boy idol". Since in some cultures, when people get tattoos, elders say that they destroyed their beautiful body. Perhaps Taemin is saying that he's destroyed that fantasy that people have of him, the innocent untouched image that was curated. And that destruction is symbolized by getting tattoos on his torso, essentially scarring what was once untouched/pure/pretty. Additionally, I think 'Advice' is a sequel to 'Pretty Boy' in a way, with lyrics around perception and judgement, e.g, "Rumors and Interceptions", "Everyone talks so easily", and "I'm above the imaginations in your head" (Pretty Boy) .vs. "Show your imagination in a more novel way" (Advice)
Those fast sounds were not processed. He has sung every fast and slow part of the song himself. I have seen the recording video of the song. He has sung each part of the song himself without any artificial processing. Taemin is unique and hardworking
I was getting scared that you decided not to do Shinee anymore so I’m glad to hear that it’s still happening. Now, can we talk about taemin dancing in a short crop top and a sport bra 😏
It wasn't actually a sport bra, but the kind of cropped undershirt. Someone wrote "sport bra" on Twitter and everyone run with it. It's not an important issue, but quite ironic, when we think about the lyrics of the song :)
I'm just saying that 2021 is the year when SM artists seek to make you feel things that are not always pleasant or comforting.* They're making art. Can't wait for RV's comeback. *Except probably for EXO because we've suffered enough with and for them.
I just love how you take music videos in details, honestly appreciate how you love Taemin not just for his looks but also for his works 🥰🥰🔥🔥. ALSO LEE TAEMIN SUPREMACY
I think Taemin made this song for everyone that encounter injustice, brutal judgment, mockery without knowing ... It's sort of a confronting song/song to release anger
Aaron, not read through all the comments so someone may have said already but the tattoo is a peony flower. I am led to believe that this flower symbolises bravery, love, honour and good fortune (especially in Japan. Taemin is a legend!! 🙂
I swear, you’re my fav reactor! I like how you always pay so much attention to detail and you always sounds so honest in your reaction. I’m rewatching your SHINee reactions so many times while waiting for new ones because I just love how you do it.
The sparkle in your eyes and the smile you have when you say that you're such a fan of Taemin isnmaking me teary eyed! Hehe. I share the same sentiment. The repeated parts. The pause. The oohs and aahs. Very similar to my reaction too! 🤩😆
Aaron, I agree with your theory about this song, I also felt he was being a voice for those who can't talk in the industry. That's meaningful. That's one of the reasons I like him, he always has a deep purpose with what he does. He uses his brain a lot, he has a sexy mind
I interpreted it like the more you try to put him in a box him and his music he’ll break out of it. Like even kpop people have so many things they expect from idols but Taemin keeps innovating and having his own way to do his music and choreos. I love him he’s a great artist
Loved your reaction. Frankly speaking when this MV dropped I could not process what is happening. I already saw this MV may be 10 times at least to feel a completely new Taemin, his hair, his makeup, his clothing, his dance steps and everything. Taemin gave a bop to cherish before enlisting.
know what, i accidentally pressed this video when I was going to stand up from lying down. then when i came back, I heard this and I continued and I don't know what to feel... seriously this is overwhelming ps. first time hearing taemin (since the "goodbye" collab of momo and jihyo with him)
I think this song is all about his haters and antis and the media. the torso thing i think that its about his tattoos. as u have seen Taemin has a big Tattoo in his hip and another one in his inner arm and some people went crazy about it saying he ruined his body because Tattoos in Korea aren't seen in a positive light. In the video Taemin shows his hip Tattoo for the first time he usually cover it but this time he didn't so i think that he is done with those haters and its like a big slap on their faces lol. I can't wait for more Taemin reactions omg!! u are my favorite reactor and Taemin and SHINee are my biases so i can't wait!!

I'm just saying that 2021 is the year when SM artists seek to make you feel things that are not always pleasant or comforting.* They're making art. Can't wait for RV's comeback.
*Except probably for EXO because we've suffered enough with and for them.
SM Ent. and their exofobia: the never ending saga.
@@soledadtroche7871 no teasers until now 😭 I don't understand why would they drop that one teaser!! to torture us? 💀
I'm so excited for exo and red velvet comeback. 💥
@@Sarah-wf3xv i'm waiting everyday. 😭😭
@@soledadtroche7871 it's totally reflected on Taemin's Criminal lyrics 😂
He create his own genre T-Pop and that is fact!!
I just love how you take music videos in details, honestly appreciate how you love Taemin not just for his looks but also for his works 🥰🥰🔥🔥. ALSO LEE TAEMIN SUPREMACY
Wow, this song is another level.
I think Taemin made this song for everyone that encounter injustice, brutal judgment, mockery without knowing ... It's sort of a confronting song/song to release anger
Aaron, not read through all the comments so someone may have said already but the tattoo is a peony flower. I am led to believe that this flower symbolises bravery, love, honour and good fortune (especially in Japan. Taemin is a legend!! 🙂
I swear, you’re my fav reactor! I like how you always pay so much attention to detail and you always sounds so honest in your reaction. I’m rewatching your SHINee reactions so many times while waiting for new ones because I just love how you do it.
This song has some kind of dark feeling lingering in it...I like that.
Almost all his songs is dark
The sparkle in your eyes and the smile you have when you say that you're such a fan of Taemin isnmaking me teary eyed! Hehe. I share the same sentiment. The repeated parts. The pause. The oohs and aahs. Very similar to my reaction too! 🤩😆
I'm still in chock after watching and listening to this...like this is unbelievably, crazy, insanely amazing!
Taemin songs are all masterpieces
thank you for reacting to this oneee.... go enjoy your vacation!!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! I'M GLAD I STAYED UP LMAO 😂
Taemin he's really Amazing 💣💥
Aaron, I agree with your theory about this song, I also felt he was being a voice for those who can't talk in the industry. That's meaningful. That's one of the reasons I like him, he always has a deep purpose with what he does. He uses his brain a lot, he has a sexy mind
The most hardworking idol. Seriously, his title tracks never miss
Taemin King of Concept!
Thank you for appreciating Teamin he is the King of the Kings and no one beat that,,always looking to your reaction
THE ACE & KING OF KPOP BACK AGAIN 👏🏽
True artist is lee taemin!!!
That footwork and legwork is stunning! And I love that very minimal arm gesture towards
the end.
This mv was another level. The visuals killed me
WE 🧡 TPOP TAEMIN
I interpreted it like the more you try to put him in a box him and his music he’ll break out of it. Like even kpop people have so many things they expect from idols but Taemin keeps innovating and having his own way to do his music and choreos. I love him he’s a great artist
idea and advice = literal art
My first thought was "omg I love his hair he looks so attractive" and I suddenly realized that I am becoming a fan girl
Ima get abs over summer and start wearing a crop top Taemin inspired me lmaoo
I was waiting for this reaction
Bro i was really waiting for your reaction ngl hahahhahaa you give the best reaction 😁😁
I love how much you've been feeling all of this
This year SM just FANTASTIC...😌😌❤❤ their idols literally drop ART THIS YEAR😭😭❤
wowww u're early today i was waiting for ur reaction!
Loved your reaction. Frankly speaking when this MV dropped I could not process what is happening. I already saw this MV may be 10 times at least to feel a completely new Taemin, his hair, his makeup, his clothing, his dance steps and everything. Taemin gave a bop to cherish before enlisting.
King Taemin Always Creator 👑💎
yes taemin is back 😭♥️
Taemin PRESS YOUR NUMBER REACTION!!!!
know what, i accidentally pressed this video when I was going to stand up from lying down. then when i came back, I heard this and I continued and I don't know what to feel... seriously this is overwhelming
ps. first time hearing taemin (since the "goodbye" collab of momo and jihyo with him)
so do u like it?
hope you like it
@@floramorgan6112 tbh, this could be on my top 3 best kpop songs of 2021... i can't explain really, it's tremendous
what a fantastic little accident 💗
Teamin is art 😍🧡🤍
Thank you Aaron! You are the best!
yess,, he is in another level
Yeah!!! I knew you will notice the footwork! Love your reactions that is not reactions f
I think this song is all about his haters and antis and the media. the torso thing i think that its about his tattoos. as u have seen Taemin has a big Tattoo in his hip and another one in his inner arm and some people went crazy about it saying he ruined his body because Tattoos in Korea aren't seen in a positive light. In the video Taemin shows his hip Tattoo for the first time he usually cover it but this time he didn't so i think that he is done with those haters and its like a big slap on their faces lol. I can't wait for more Taemin reactions omg!! u are my favorite reactor and Taemin and SHINee are my biases so i can't wait!!
The fact that he dropped this album before serving 😭
Thank you for your reaction was so fun to watch
Taemin blow our minds every time
He has a b side with Taeyeon so maybe you should react to it.
aaron being a fanboy for dance as a whole now too! AHAH "LOOK AT THE FOOTWORK..SMOOTH!"
